Amazing how the views change when convenient. Not that long ago dual citizens were being vilified left, right and center, for their perceived betrayals. Have you forgotten that?
Please see above.
I support the article which bars dual nationality holders from sitting in the parliament, the very same article which is not implemented.
But if someone (excluding the tried politicians, their close relatives and friends) is competent enough I would not mind him having dual nationality or getting honorary Pakistani nationality and allowed to run the country. During Musharraf’s time there were also dual nationality holders and did a good job running the country.
TUQ’s stand is to implement the constitution on the politicians and also give the citizens their rights as per the same constitution. Did he ever say he wanted to contest elections?
Even if he stands for elections, leaving aside whether he wins or not, at least try new people. Is getting failed by same people again and again and again better than getting failed by someone new and then choosing another new person?
Name me one politician who contests elections and then does not forget the citizens’ rights and what he should provide them as per the constitution.
The very same citizens who are the back bone of the nation, the very same citizens who give him votes, the very same citizens without whom the politicians would not have seats in the parliaments, hell not even get a job of secretary of any politician in the other country whose passport they hold, the very same citizens who give them votes and the politicians use the power to the best they can to facilitate their personal issues and business and of course they also look after the nation by giving services and giving the rights of the citizens equaling handful of sand, while they the politicians take truck loads from the nation.
Democracy is to allow and facilitate and make sure the finest and best get the chance to run the country, but here we have the same people and their close friends and relatives again and again. Out of 180+ million and 67 years and running we are today not able to produce smart, intelligent, capable people to take charge of the country. So in other words we are dumb and we will only give birth to dumb people. Whereas the politicians are the best ones and they will always and only give birth to smart and capable and intelligent humans who are the best to run the nation.
