Modi + Abdullah Abdullah & Struggling Pakistani Institutions




Modi + Abdullah Abdullah & Struggling Pakistani Institutions
Narendir Modi of BJP is ready to take oath after formal announcement while next month is fixed for final re-poll of new Afghan president. Both Afghan and Indian borders have a history and on top of it heavy victory of BJP is also a message. With two strong governments in neighbourhood, Pakistan needs a consensus badly not only among political actors but also among various powerful elements and institutions. the absence of such consensus will halt Pakistan to convert these challenges into opportunities. No doubt, it is an extra ordinary situation and it is not a joke to avoid this political fault line. Is Pakistan is preprepared for this? Is its struggling institutions have any idea about this changed scenario?
Just a year before Pakistan has witnessed its first democratic transition not only at federal level but also at provincial level. There was not any acquisition on army regarding interference during and after election May 2013. All key players were on same page yet situation started deteriorating when on Court orders a case was registered against Musharaf. It was a double edge weapon. In either situation some forces were ready to tackle it against First democratic transition. Just imagine, who sent Musharaf? who invited him? Why he came here? Is some one using him again? From the day he appeared in the court till today, we are witnessing a continuous  struggle not only between key institutions but also in Media. Issues are different but result is a scattered Pakistan. Can Pakistan take advantages from new geo-political changes in its scattered formation  in which no one is ready to listen their own counterparts? Some over smart Political parties are trying to resolve issues on roads instead of parliament. What it means? What is the message they are spreading?
with hostile strong governments at borders, is it a way to handle the situation? Pakistan can take advantage from its geo-political position but in a situation where Pakistani institutions are struggling against each other , no one can think about it. No matter what are the grievances these institutions have against each other but it is not the right time to fix it. It is a high time for larger consensus so that Pakistan can covert these new challenges into opportunities for it.
