THE LOST GAME

 

Let me give a short background, the story dates back to 7 March 2022 when the Islamic Republic of Pakistan had been suffering from the worst period of its survival and many economic pundits had given the verdict of a state default and the risk for default increased day by day, there came news of the much expected and most awaited no-confidence motion from the opposition against IK government which had been discussed in the opposition backdrop quarters for a long time but it was just a “news” and it was just normal as the opposition had been discussing it every day but now the things had been changed and any “electable” of the PTI had been agreed to change their loyalties, pardon me they actually came out of the unnatural alliance which they had been forced in earlier after the 2018 general elections. Fast forward to April 3, 2022, the no-confidence motion was presented before the honorable Deputy Speaker National Assembly but to all utter surprise, the motion was rejected in a very short speech by Deputy Speaker Qasim Suri on the pretext of linking it with article 5 (foreign involvement) and all the game changed with Imran khan announcing the dissolution of Assembly and sent it to the president and got it signed within minutes. The PDM was surprised but found their way to changing the game by going to the Supreme court, SC took a suo moto on it and the case started, the court gave a verdict within a few days and ordered the government to formally begin the proceedings and allow the voting on the no-confidence motion on 10 April and PDM successfully overthrow the government at the night of 10 April after a long delay in the proceedings.

Now I may start the “The lost game’. After losing badly the no-confidence motion Kaptaan Imran khan started the campaign for the “Haqiqi Azaadi” and put everything at stake even the Military institutional integrity and chanted slogans against America publicly and directly addressed the deep state with his usual way of criticism and publicly at many stages he would usually say that we do not want that Shahbaz Sharif and Asif Zardari should be appointing the new Army chief as Imran khan wanted to appoint Lt Gen Faiz Hamid as Army Chief and Imran khan was against LT Gen Asim Munir but it all went in vain as on 24 November 2022 LT Gen Asim Munir was officially appointed the 17^th COAS. Following are all the points where Imran khan lost the game during the past 8 months.

v  Imran khan wanted to make a judicial commission on the cipher story which he fabricated in his own words but this narrative was rejected in an apex committee meeting of the NSC.

v  Ik wanted to prove the alleged US conspiracy behind his ouster from the government but he lost this too and could not prove it till today

v  Imran khan wanted to have early elections but he failed.

v  IK had said of gathering 2 million people rallying to Islamabad on 25 May but he couldn’t even manage to gather 0.1 million people despite having his own setups in KPK AJK and Gilgit

v  IK wanted to stick on the torn same page with the establishment but he failed there too.

v  IK did his level best through every means but he failed to keep his man as Governor Punjab and lost it to Baligh Ur Rahman

v  IK Played over Usman Buzdar’s resignation citing it as full of mistakes and ambiguities but Lost it

v  Ik wanted to keep make anyone as CM Punjab from his Party but lost it too and the Punjab ka sub say bara Dakuu won the seat and what a miracle for all, that a man with just 10 seats in assembly has won the premiership of Pakistan’s largest province  

v  Ik Always claimed to be against the family politics but gave the ticket to Meherbano Qureshi (daughter of Shah Mehmood Qureshi) and she lost the elections to a double defeat for Ik

v  Ik made claims of collecting 15 billion rupees through his telethons but sadly this claim was refuted by Sania NIshtar who said just 4 billion have been collected so far

v  Ik through some way or other tried to stop the verdict of the Toshakhana case and foreign funding case but lost both the cases

v  There were two shooters according to IK in his shooting case but lost it too as all the claims have been refuted by the authorities

v  Ik tried to register an FIR with a sitting DG- c name in it but he lost it

v  Ik chanted slogans against the “Dirty Harry’ but he could not manage to prove and win it

v  Ik tried to de-seat the Chairman of Senate but he lost it

v  IK accused the Chief Election commissioner of several things but could not prove it and instead, CEC proved him wrong by arranging a neutral election in Punjab

v  Imran khan tried everything through his speeches interviews tweets and through his tigers so that General Bajwa takes an extension but he lost it

v  IK tried everything to stop Maryam Nawaz from leaving the country but she got acquitted by the court and she left the country

v  Ik tried to stop the media from discussing Farrah Gogii but he failed

v  IK tried to make his people stick to his views and party but lost it and Faisal Vawda left PTI

v  Imran khan tried through every way to stop LT general Asim Munir from becoming the COAS but IK lost and Asim Munir is the New COAS.

At last I will say that Ik played at every ground and lost but PML(N) and PPP who wanted the government before November 2022 to appoint a new Chief themselves and they won it. One thing which all the political parties should learn from past 8 months is that always stick to the political rules and let your arena be the elections and mature politics and never see the establishment to help you in gaining your own political gains and this is also a lesson for our Army to keep their mandate to a well circumscribed perimeter and keep yourself out of the national politics and yes the establishment should give their input in every matter of country but it should be just an advisory role but if establishment believes that their any project can take the country to a progressive level so they may  be allowed then too. We all hope that the new COAS will try his level best to keep the institute apolitical and will work to regain the lost integrity and honor of the institute which we all had been proud off ,let’s wait and see

 

From Bhatti's to Moonis Elahi

 While the nation is busy but specifically, let me use this disturbing word PTI kay “londay laparay or youthiyay” are very busy in the” HAQIQI AZAADI MARCH”. All the provincial machinery is extensively used so that our Khan saab doesn’t get any issues with proceeding with his march. The Punjab government is trying its best to provide all the facilities to the participants specifically khan and the company, not the general public. In this all scenario moreover I call it an eyewash, the people have forgotten that PTI is on the ruling seat in Punjab, sorry it isn’t PTI it’s Punjab “ka sub say bara Daku” with just 10 seats, and hats off to Pervez Elahi’s politics it is rather the first time since 1947 that a party with just 10 seats in the assembly is ruling the province. Having said that earlier that all are busy in the long march no one is paying heed to the fact that PTI and PMLQ are ruling the largest province. What the people have gained since 22 July 2022 election the answer is simple nothing has been gained and only one thing has been done and that is the rise of Bhatti,s in Punjab during the rule of Pervez Elahi. Bhatti always rose to fame during Elahi’s tenure. Let us discuss the Bhatti episode which is a real inspiration for all. We will surely forget the inspirational stories of Steve jobs and mark Zuckerberg. Let me tell you the dream story of a Pakistani man.

Dating back to October 2007 when Pervez Elahi was the chief minister he provided the people with many jobs and that’s when Muhammad Nawaz Bhatti was inducted as a peon in the health department.

It was the moment when Nawaz Bhatti thought that he can’t make ends meet in this low-earning job so he decided to set up a business so in October 2007 even before receiving the first salary he thought to set up a sugar mill. One of his cousins (Mazhar abbas) who was a student at that time decided to set up a mill and eventually the founder of the mill. They came to know that there is a mill being set up by the makhdoom brothers of Rahimyar khan (makhdoom Umer sheryar and makhddom khusro Bakhtiar). The Makhdoom brothers were unable to get a NOC for the mill so the Bhatti decided to be a partner in the mill and we will get you the NOC the Makhdoom brothers eventually got the NOC for the mill. Muhammad Nawaz Bhatti soon becomes fed up with the money and no one knows how they got the money from 2011 – 2014 they transferred the shares to various accounts. Nawaz Bhatti is still a peon and Mazhar Abbas is now a patwari in the Punjab revenue department. The transferred shares now involved many people and Umar makhddom's shares increased the money eventually deposits in an offshore company and to people's surprise the offshore company is of none other but Moonis Elahi. Now the story turns towards Muhammad khan Bhatti who is the cousin of Muhammad Nawaz Bhatti and Mazhar Abbas and currently he is the Principal Secretary of Chief Minister Pervez Elahi. Muhammad khan bhhati was inducted as a grade 7 clerk and that too by Pervez Elahi. Muhamad Nawaz Bhatti's elder brother Ahmed khan Bhatti was a caretaker of the Chaudhry brothers and he introduced Muhammad to Elahi’s family. In 1997 Pervez Elahi became the CM and inducted Muhammad khan Bhatti with himself into the assembly secretariat as stare officer which is a grade - 16 position Muhammad khan never looked back then and till 2022 Muhammad Bhatti reached grade -22 and this rapid promotion never witnessed in Pakistan. Now let us look at PMLQ where the parliamentary leader of it is Sajed Bhatti, is the nephew of Muhammad khan Bhatti and Sajed Bhatti's brother Wajid Bhatti is accused in Moonis Elahi money laundering case. Wajid Bhatti now takes the plea that these shares are mine and is indirectly helping Moonis elahi from being indicted in the case as Wajid says that my father has invested all the money in the mill. But the FIA has now taken the stance that how come the Wajid Bhatti father invested and what was the source of money. In 2019 Sajed Bhatti cousin Abid Bhatti was employed as peon in Punjab assembly secretariat and even before being employed he had transferred 34 crores to moonis elahi off shore company. The transferred money had been then provided the safe passage by sohail awan a former employee of Allied Bank. During the Pandora box revelations, the investigative journalists found out that a woman Mahrukh Jahangir who declared herself as a barrister and when her account details were studied the journalists came to know that the transferred money from Pakistan was received by Mahrukh and She transferred that money to Tehreem (Moonis Elahi wife) now the interesting is that Mahrukh jehnagir is the mother in law of Moonis Elahi and this all was created to just give a legal cover that a daughter received money from her mother as a gift. Now the story turns towards Sabir Munir Hussain who is the chief financial officer of RYK sugar mill and upon inquiry the FIA found out that Mahar Abbas transferred the shares to Sabir Hussain and his wife. RYK mill which is well known that it belongs to Makhdoom brothers is comprised of 50% shares of Moonis Elahi  and 6% shares belong to sabir Hussain and the rest is of the Makhdoom brothers.

A classic case of ajab corruption kii ghazab kahani but no our Khan saab busy in regaining a lost prime Minister seat and that too through a blame game where he knows he is on the wrong side but “ Awwam ka kia unhain tu bus aik Islamic touch day kar apna narrative baich na hai”.

sad story of our country we never leant the lessons from 4 martial laws. Imran khan's corruption cases to be unearthed soon. TO BE CONTINUED ….
