I have avoided writing about politics so far because I wanted the trajectory of event to prove my points.
1. Federal Govt and Pakistan Army are totally aligned at this point. The 'old guard' (Gen Pasha etc...) have lost the game and so have their rented assets (midget politicians, tanga parties, and suck-up media outlets).
2. This is the right time to encash the dividend of Pakistan's policies. Decision-makers are not in the mood to patronize anarchists. Politics of agitation is an orphan with dwindling support.
3. 93 PTI candidates lost their elections deposits, 40 seats were not contested at all. This makes 133 national assembly seats where PTI has nothing whatsoever to show. And yet they have gone from allegations about 4 assembly seats to making a case for having election stolen from them. People who do not see irony in this are self-made fools. Even worse are the ones who are quoting PPP politicians to 'strengthen' the case for 'stolen' elections. What else can PPP say? Does anyone think that PPP is going to own its pitiful performance and accept a much-deserved electoral defeat? Yesterday Raja Pervez Ashraf aka Raja Rental made allegations of electoral fraud, even though he lost by a margin of more than 60,000 votes. This is the season for complaining and why would anyone be left behind?
4. PTI kids ever-clueless are reduced to parroting lies and propaganda - knowing full well that PTI ship is sinking slowly. This is what PTI-sympathizers had been crying about. Had PTI-boys been something more than mere bots, this disastrous course of blunders could have been averted. IK is no politicians, and has shown that he can not grow into being one either. Fortunes of PTI will show this yet.
5. The only way to save PTI is for IK to stop making more blunders and focus solely on party reorganization and governance in KPK. This is what he should have done in any case. I sense that SMQ's Mil-contacts have used him to have the whole of PTI fall for a maddening own-tail-chase. Can any PTI-bot show what PTI has accomplished by this strategy?
6. If you have not the foresight and strength of character to over-turn disastrous decision-making, then you are no asset to PTI, but are instead a liability. All foul-mouthed PTI trolls have done a dis-service to their party, to their senseless leader, to their cause, and ultimately to Pakistan.
7. I feel totally vindicated about my stance that I took before Dharna madness. I had stated that all this jazz will come to nothing and that IK will not be able to shake PML-N government. NS has come out a winner through this. He may be glacial in general and be faulted for it; but here he has done right to be so. IK ran into a wall repeatedly and has nothing to show for it. NS is sitting pretty in his seat and enjoying the show now. PTI is no more a threat, but merely a nuisance.
Good going bots. Now I predict that instead of any hint of introspection, PTI-bots will deny everything and go through a round of name calling and allegation-making.
There are things about Pakistan's politics that 99.9% of current PTI supporters do not understand. That is why from heady highs of August, they are reduced to a reactionary, angry, bunch who live in Denial-stan. This is what they deserve. Good for them.
Latest from Usman Manzoor, who used to be a fervent PTI-supporter - this is my source for information regarding point #3 about PTI's loss of Assembly seats:
