Pakistan General Elections 2024

[ghazi52]

In a dramatic turn of events, newly-appointed Commissioner Rawalpindi, Saif Anwar Jhappa, vehemently denied all allegations leveled by his predecessor, Liaquat Ali Chattha.

Hours after Chattha's shocking confession of involvement in rigging the February 8 elections and his subsequent resignation, Jhappa held a press conference at the DC office on Saturday to address the situation.

Contrary to Chattha's claims, Commissioner Saif Anwar Jhappa, who has taken over the position, insisted that Election 2024 was transparent. He asserted that the commissioner's role was solely one of coordination.

At the press conference, Jhappa was accompanied by the District Returning Officers (DROs) of all four districts under Rawalpindi Division – Hasan Waqar Cheema (Rawalpindi), Qurtaul Ain (Chakwal), Rao Atif Raza (Attock), and Captain Sami (Jhelum).

People of conscience can’t live with themselves knowing what they did. May Allah forgive him now that he has come clean.

Btw, the economist downgraded Pakistan. Probably not going to help getting loans at a reasonable interest rate, if the status quo continues. Dawn covered this story so you know “they” are very well aware of this and its implications. Should human rights continue and a campaign gain steam to name and shame key figures carrying out or aiding and abetting human rights abuses, the Magnitsky act could be used to seizure their and their family’s personal U.S. based assets; bye bye Papa John’s franchises, and block their travel to the US and their use of the US banking system (which is linked with most global banking systems, remember how Hong Kong Executive Carrie Lam couldn’t even access her own money or use a credit in her own city, and had to use cash for everything) this is a powerful economic tools for human rights abusers and is being used a lot. Just look at all the world leaders it has been used against, in just the past few years.

Pakistan was downgraded to an “authoritarian regime”

Democracy Index: conflict and polarisation drive a new low for global democracy

EIU’s Democracy Index report analyses the relationship between democracy, war and peace and looks at the geopolitical drivers of conflict. It also provides an explanation of the changes in the global rankings and an in-depth regional overview.

Tumultuous year sees Pakistan slide down ‘Democracy Index’

Country downgraded by EIU to "authoritarian regime"; declines 11 places in global ranking.

As in Carrie Lam’s case, it affects not just the perpetrator but their family as well.

If saner heads don’t prevail. God forbid, we might see a similar law passed in the US congress.

Now if prominent Western economic publications are calling Pakistan an autocracy; under an authoritarian regime, well… it’s going to hurt the regime regardless of if Khan friendly Trump or Biden wins. With polarization in the US, only a united and self reconciled actually democratic Pakistan can chart a path to effectively deal with the world.


Biden’s own words put the regime in a though place.

Wow keep blaming the military. The military-industrial complex pays more tax than all your retailers combined.

Bat sirf itni hai kai civilian are corrupt to the core and incompetent to carry out any reforms

This isn't funny... it's hilarious..my stomach is hurting for like 30 min after reading this

That is why i don't believe in haqeeqi azadi chooran. People honestly believe by taking away army's power, their problems will be solved. What they don't understand is that they'll be worse off. Once civilians have absolute power then there's no check.

All of Pakistan issues are due to poor economic reforms by the civilians.

I agree fully, but we should be working towards not taking away army power but having a balance between civilian and army rule, allow reforms in judiciary and police so that common people are given justice, rule of law is followed by all. This is what is causing all the sufferings. The economic situation will be difficult to change unless the people change and become hard working, get away from extremism and separatism and work towards building a strong state. The people of Pakistan are upset because we are made to be ruled by the same people for 30+ years, ruled by the dacoits and mafias.

بین الاقوامی میڈیا اور مبصرین نے ان انتخابات پر جو سرخیاں لگائیں اس کا لب لباب یہی تھا کہ دھاندلی زدہ انتخابات ہیں اور ملٹری رجیم کے خلاف ووٹ دیا گیا ہے۔ امریکا، یورپی یونین اور برطانیہ کے نمائندگان نے بھی سوالات اُٹھائے۔ ملک کے اندر ہر سیاسی جماعت اپنی اپنی جگہ احتجاج کر رہی ہے۔ کمشنر چٹھہ نے کچھہ کھول دیا ہے۔ رئیٹائرمنٹ میں بیس دن رہ گئے تھے تو اس سٹیج پر ساری عمر کام کر کے کوئی اپنی پینشن سے محروم نہیں ہوتا۔ گریڈ بیس کا افیسر تھا وہ بھی ایڈمنسٹریشن کا۔ کوئی پاگل ہی ہو گا جو اس سٹیج پر ایسا سٹیپ لے لے۔ جو اس نے بولا اس کی تحقیقات ہونا ضروری ہیں۔ایسے انتخابات پر مزید کیا کہنا رہ جاتا ہے ؟۔ سکندر سلطان راجہ کو قابل مواخذہ ٹھہرایا جانا چاہئیے۔ آرٹیکل چھ کے تحت کارروائی شروع ہو تاکہ آئندہ کوئی ایسا کھیل کھیلنے کی سوچے بھی نہ۔ مگر یہ کارروائی کیوں ہو گی اور اگلے کیوں کریں اور کیوں کرنے دیں۔ جب سارا نظام ہی ان کے کنٹرول میں ہے تو ماسوائے جلنے کڑھنے کے اور کیا ہو سکتا ہے۔

رہا یہ سوال کہ ملک کیسے آگے بڑھ سکتا ہے تو میری ناقص رائے میں ملک نہ یوتھ فورس مائنڈ سیٹ سے آگے بڑھ سکتا ہے نہ اسحاق ڈاری سوچ سے۔ نہ ہی جرنیل چلا سکتے ہیں نہ ہی کوئی ایک سیاسی قوت اس قابل ہے۔ سب بند گلی کے راہی ہو چکے ہیں اور پھنس گئے ہیں۔ جتنا گند ہو چکا ہے اور جتنے گھمبیر مسائل کا ہم شکار ہیں اس میں سب سٹیک ہولڈرز کو بیٹھ کر معاملات سیٹل کرنا ہوں گے اور بند گلی سے نکلنے کی راہ نکالنا ہو گی۔ جب تک ایک دوجے کو سپیس اور فیس سیونگ نہیں دیں گے آپ سب تباہی کی طرف تیزی سے بڑھ رہے ہیں۔

معاشی خراب صورتحال کا خوش آئند پہلو یہ ہے کہ مارشل لاء لگنا ممکن نظر نہیں آتا۔اگر خزانے کا پیٹ بھرا ہوتا تو پھر شاید۔۔۔
