Ayesha Gulalai Jumps into the Arena against Maulana Fazal ur Rehman

The establishment excluded Maulana from the Gilgit-Baltistan elections, causing tensions between him and the establishment. In response, Maulana has been playing his political cards aggressively, even going below the belt by criticizing the establishment over the Kargil incident. Ultimately, there will likely be some negotiation, Maulana is expected to be allotted a few seats in Azad Kashmir. If it comes to point of no return, I am afraid that he might end up going to Jail or forced to leave Pakistan. I hope he doesn't end up going to Africa, or this could all be a paid drama.

Maulana Fazlur Rehman has recently warned that Pakistan is sliding into “Western slavery,” arguing that the country’s officials and policies increasingly mirror the priorities of the United States and other Western powers. In his interviews, he frames this trend as a direct erosion of national autonomy, claiming Pakistan is absorbing foreign agendas at the expense of its own political and cultural identity. Across multiple recent appearances, he has repeated this theme, portraying Western influence as a growing threat to Pakistan’s sovereignty.

As for the broader situation, many observers argue that after years of political turmoil, Pakistan’s establishment still appears more focused on political engineering than on delivering the deep structural reforms the country urgently needs. Instead of stabilizing institutions, strengthening governance, or addressing economic vulnerabilities, the system continues to revolve around power management and short‑term maneuvering, leaving long‑term reform on the sidelines.

As I have always said, it is a self created chaos because establishment love that.

every political leader came to power with support of military, when they don't get their fill they start cursing the same military, from PPP to PMLN to this fake Mullah to the Taliban khan sitting in jail.

This whole argument that “every political leader came to power with military support and then curses the same military when they don’t get their fill” completely ignores what’s actually killing the economy. The country isn’t collapsing because politicians complain about the military. It’s collapsing because the entire system is built to serve the elite while the awam is left to suffer.

Every day, people are crushed under internal debt, external debt, and a trade deficit so massive it eats whatever progress we try to make. I see it, not in theory, not in headlines, but in daily life. Prices rising, businesses shutting down, people begging for work, crime increasing because families can’t feed themselves.

The elite doesn’t feel any of this. They sit in air‑conditioned rooms, protected, privileged, and completely disconnected from reality.

Corruption isn’t a side issue, it’s the backbone of the system.
It’s why poverty keeps rising.
It’s why unemployment is spreading.
It’s why crime is exploding.
It’s why every government borrows more money just to survive another quarter.

And here’s the part nobody wants to say out loud. Pakistan has been turned into modern‑day slavery.

The establishment is not worried about the awam.
They’re worried about themselves, their power, their comfort, their deals, their networks.

It actually benefits them when people leave Pakistan.
Because the country survives on remittances, not on real economic growth.
The same people who are forced to leave…..engineers, laborers, nurses, drivers, students are the ones keeping Pakistan alive. Their hard‑earned money is what fills the gaps created by corruption and mismanagement.

So when someone says PPP, PMLN, some fake mullah, or the jailed Taliban Khan all came through the military, they’re missing the real point.

The elite class across every party and every institution has enjoyed the system while the public has paid the price.

They only fight each other when their personal interests are threatened.
Never for the people.
Never for the economy.
Never for the future of the country.

Pakistan doesn’t need more blame games.
Pakistan needs a system that stops treating its own citizens like disposable labor and starts fixing the debt, the trade deficit, the corruption, the unemployment, and the poverty that define everyday life.
