Pakistan may face more economic misery if election result unclear​

Feb 10, 20:38
The possibility of a political stalemate in Pakistan leading to delays in both reforms and crucial foreign funding has sparked a selloff in its international bonds and fuelled analysts' fears of further economic misery for the country.

Results coming in from Thursday's election saw an unexpectedly strong showing for independents - mostly supporters of jailed former prime minister Imran Khan - trailed by former prime minister Nawaz Sharif's Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and the Pakistan Peoples Party of Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari.

Sharif has already claimed victory, but his party remains far short of the necessary number of seats to form a government on its own.

The election, which was itself much delayed, comes at a pivotal moment.

Pakistan is in an economic crisis, with dwindling foreign currency reserves that will be further strained by a $1 billion bond payment due in two months, while its $3 billion funding programme with the International Monetary Fund expires on April 12.

"Pakistan will be entering into more severe political and economic instability if no party emerges with a simple majority," said Sajid Amin of the Sustainable Development Policy Institute, a former adviser to the ministry of finance.

Lots of unpleasant and pleasant memories from the days at Karachi University in mid 80s! Lots of them. Jamaatis, MQM, PSF, NSF and various other ethnic student organizations--Pashtun, Baloch. They were ALL technically banned by Zia ul Haq but they functioned nonetheless. One day, a slaughter right on the Karachi University campus. The Rangers were then deployed by the then Governor of Sindh (Fakhruddin Ibrahim--very noble guy!!)--I heard him say on the TV: 'Drastic situations require equally drastic measures'.
The PSF, the Jamaatis, and the MQM were the most ideological/violent student wings. MQM took after the Jamaatis, just like I think PTI has taken after the Noonies (I know, the forum doesn't like me saying that!).

If I am not wrong the first batch APMSO were ex jamiat.

As I said earlier, kpk needs to raise huge force to protect people's will.

I think its about time Pakistan needs it's own IRGC type of force parallel to the army. Pak army is rotten to the core and now infiltrated with the western puppets aka Tony generals.

Wahdat should be in the mainstream as riots in GB and Quetta can be managed. JUI is good for Karachi and the religious aspect. I think TLP should be consulted anyway for more street power in Karachi. Win or not, TLP has a huge followership in Karachi and can mobilize people in Lahore.

JUP not JUI,
Jamat Ulema e Pakistan. Its ally of PTI.

Jamiat Ulema-e-Pakistan - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

This was one of the largest political party in Pakistan until General Zia state sponsorship of extremist reduced its influence, and then Zia destroyed the party due to differences, because the leadership of party wouldn't accept dictatorship but others did so became the favourites.

TLP is big but has alot to learn about politics, they also cannot see past their noses.

PML-N Information Secretary Marriyum Aurangzeb has said the party is thinking about why it has lost from its traditional strongholds, adding that the party was not “insensitive or oblivious” to it.

She said the PML-N was going through the process of introspection on the election results.

1980s gave rise to the religious extremists, with everyone believing they're the god chosen people and mujahdeens, how could you challenge them without becoming violent yourself. JUP - Jamat Ulema e Pakistan stayed peaceful but ended up getting destroyed. This is how MQM rose to power.

Since then 2 more PTI seats have been declared so now it’s at 97.

I think you are right. As I said, I never formally affiliated with any organization. One day, to appease my friends at Karachi University who had been asking me to support them, I put on both the APMSO and the Jamaati (was that Islami Jamiat Taliba?) badges on my shirt. Both sides objected and I quickly took them off. Hahahah!
APMSO was a very organized student body like the Jamaatis student body was. And both violent and intolerant. Fascist in nature. NSF: National Student Federation was the leftover of the Socialist/Communist movements. They were not violent. Very civilized and educated. Their leaders claimed to me that if Zia allowed student body elections then they would win.

Karachi politics changed when a student Bushra Zaidi was run over by a public bus driven by a Pashtun driver in 1984/85. There were already simmering tensions due to the large influx of the Afghan refugees in Karachi--who were mainly Pashtun. Ms. Zaidi's death ignited a huge fire. MQM took full advantage of that and thus began the Pashtun vs Muhajir open violence.

I still recall an MQM convoy from Karachi going to Hyderabad for some political rally--I dont know what year--maybe 85/86. It was attacked on way by Pashtun community. That was the last stray. The Mohajirs in Karachi were afraid of the Afghan Pashtun coming loaded with lethal weaponry; the Mohajirs were a mercantile community and I remember growing up that violence was done using knives in karachi or occasionally pistols. They were no match to the Afghan Pashtuns--Lord knows how much of those weapons were given by the CIA to fight the Soviets.

After the attack on the MQM convoy, the next day the Pashtun gatekeeper for my Karachi University department said something like 'The attack was justified because the Mohajirs were dancing naked on their buses in front of the Pashtun houses along the way'.

This is not accusing anyone or any community. Those were the days. 40 years ago!
