Revolutionary Project in the History of Pakistan | Interview of Jamshed Iqbal Cheem

. . .
40 years of corrupt nawaz and zardari has modified the dna of the people. They just can't think and spew venom against IK. Now the whole nation seems to be needing sugar as if it is the only thing they need to be alive.

I saw the video, and the points are definitely interesting (it's a big and positive endeavour by PTI).

However, the deeper issues re: corruption, the problem here isn't PTI or even PML or (as much as I'd hate to admit it) PPP. The real problem is that you have a corrupted system that doesn't want real change.

Too many folks within the system have interests in the status-quo and, in turn, they've devolved our democratic system into a dog derby for smaller competing interests.

Basically, each party in Pakistan represents a clown. Some clowns like sugar mills, other clowns have gnarly beards, and there's one clown that thinks ethnocentrism is cool. But they're all clowns. Unfortunately, PTI was forced into the circus and now it too must function like a clown on some issues.

The only solution to deflating the circus tent is to stop attending it. If Pakistanis can summon the will and conviction to condemning (civil disobedience style) the system, we might get somewhere.

Wow. And who corrupted the system? Who was ruling for the last 40 years. What a ridiculous argument to say its not because of ppp or pml

They're a part of the problem, but not the only part of the problem. ZAB didn't pop out of a void, he was there in Ayub Khan's government. Nawaz Sharif didn't just show up, he was nurtured by Zia ul-Haq. NRO wasn't a miraculous biblical event, but it was brought in by Musharraf. Every interaction and policy that led to the rise and leadership of these bad actors is the corrupted system.

Yet even now, no one here wants to categorically reject it. Even now, we're still latching onto the glorified rig bookie of our choice. Either we tell them all to GTFO, or we deal with a perpetually declining Pakistan.

I have no doubt that army is as corrupt as anyone else

I'd encourage everyone to listen to interview first before getting into fist fight here on this thread.

I did, but the point still stands. This is a great initiative, but the corrupt system will ensure PML and PPP will have a say. It's only a matter of 'when', not 'if' ... and they will roll this back (unless we pull the rug from under them by making the system turn on them).

Well the recent bi-election results really tell, what the public sentiment is.
