PTI’s tall claims prove futile

So far, no call for protest by PTI has been successful, but according to the PTI founder, this was the last and decisive call for which the PTI people also made a slogan of “Do or Die”. But the tragic outcome of this last call has been seen by everyone.

Although the government, as per the order of the Islamabad High Court, not only contacted PTI, but also specially opened the doors of Adiala Jail to meet and consult with the  to accept anything. Therefore, the efforts and running around of these leaders proved to be in vain. What happened was that the “real power” withing the PTI was not ready to accept anything.

According to sources, what has come to light in this regard is that when the IK gave the final call on November 24, it was given on the advice of Bushra Bibi, but on the other hand, the majority of PTI leaders opposed it. They believed that people would not come out from Punjab like in the previous protests because the leadership there has disappointed the workers badly.  Therefore, they will have to depend only on KP but the workers there are not only tired of protesting but also disappointed with the disappearance of Chief Minister Gandapur on important occasion. Apart from this, all the expenses on the protests so far have been incurred from the official funds of the provincial government and if this matter is investigated at any time, who will answer it? The PTI is in real trouble as it has lost workers confidence. Imran Khan’s final call put the final nail in his political coffin. After losing the final, Imran seems to have become helpless, devoid of strategy, and selfish politics seemingly succumbed to the end?  IK’s political party is in the midst of internal turmoil and chaos, and the protest march has failed, hollowing out the party.

For a long time, the party has been in the grip of mutual exaggeration and internal fighting. The leadership was suspicious of each other’s loyalties, while the workers were divided into several factions, openly expressing distrust in the leaders. “Who will save us now?” Imran, as far as the eye can see, has exhausted all the options. After the attempts of PTI leaders and workers led by Bushra Bibi and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur to invade the federal capital and stage a sit-in were thwarted on the occasion of the arrival of the President of Belarus and his accompanying 68-member trade delegation, a series of contradictory claims and statements are being made from all sides, in which social media is at the forefront, which has troubled every section of the society.  Due to the paralysis of industry and trade between November 23 and 27, the economy is facing a loss of Rs 303 billion in tax collection alone in November.  Daily wage earners and business people are in addition, whose number is in the millions. For the past 7 days, the internet speed has been slow to the point of non-existent, which has severely affected the rapidly expanding online business and freelancers.  PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja has resigned from his post, and Sunni Ittehad Council Chairman Sahibzada Hamid Raza has resigned from the political and core committees of PTI.  Asad Qaiser has also denied reports of being made the party chairman.

To ensure public order and normal life, the federal government has the option of imposing Governor’s Rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, however, according to the latest report, no final decision has been taken yet.  According to sources, the government will do this in consultation with its allies and other stakeholders. The opinion of the PPP is very important in this regard, because Governor KP Faisal Karim Kundi belongs to the PPP.  The Jamaat-e-Islami is opposing Governor’s Rule. While financial experts have expressed satisfaction over the 100 index of the national stock market crossing one lakh points, on the other hand, he and his team are worried about the national economic loss in these five days.  In a special meeting held regarding the law and order situation, the Prime Minister was briefed on the attacks on government property and police rangers by protesters in the form of sit-ins. On this occasion, the Prime Minister directed to take legal action against those who attacked Islamabad. He expressed grief over the martyrdom of officers deployed on security duty.  After the crackdown, PTI leader Salman Akram Raja claimed that at least 20 people from his party had lost their lives in this demonstration and his party and the KP government would approach the courts against the Interior Ministry and the Interior Minister.  The Islamabad Police Chief denied direct firing or the use of firearms during the operation and clarified that 600 protesters were arrested in Tuesday’s operation, after which their total number has increased to 954.  Addressing a special meeting, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif directed that an anti-riot force should be established across the country, including Islamabad, to deal with riots and that it should be equipped with international professional training and necessary equipment. The anti-riot police department is established in many countries, including the United Kingdom. Its establishment in Pakistan is in line with the ground conditions. Along with this, it should also be ensured that, like other countries, specific places for protests and rallies should be identified and made functional in a proper manner.
