The founder of Tehreek-e-Insaaf was fined 190 million pounds and it was no surprise. The repeated postponement of the decision and the negotiations had certainly created an atmosphere that something was being decided. That is why the decisions are being postponed. Then Barrister Gauhar met the Army Chief.
The founder of Tehreek-e-Insaf termed this meeting as happy. An atmosphere has been created that the talk is done. There was also a lot of talk of back channel negotiations. Then the government was also talking. An environment was created in such a way that there might not be punishment, but on the other hand, there was also the fact that punishment was ripe. There is a lot of life in the case, so the punishment has to be done.
Until then, my opinion was that there will be punishment. The back channel also seemed like a foul to me. I thought there would be punishment. I had no hope of success in the negotiations. I realized that there is no atmosphere of reconciliation right now. Even after seeing the Charter of Demand of Tehreek-e-Insaf, it seemed that no major breakthrough was possible. All I could see was a deadlock. Perhaps Barrister Gauhar’s meeting was also misrepresented. Through this meeting, an atmosphere was created for a breakthrough from the establishment which was wrong.
Punishment done I expected tension and tension to rise after the punishment. But it didn’t happen. There were no protests in the country after the sentence. No protest was even called. No formal announcement of the end of the talks has been made. However, tensions have increased. It is true that there have been no protests across the country.
But I am of the opinion that when such a popular leader of the country is sentenced to fourteen years, there should be no need to call for protest. People should have left on their own. Public anger needs no call. People express their anger on their own.
If the position of Tehreek-e-Insaaf is that people expressed their anger on May 9 arrest. If there was no such call then public anger should be visible even after fourteen years of punishment. There should have been a small protest somewhere in the country.
Let’s say people don’t leave due to strictness in Punjab. No public protest was seen in KP either, protest is openly allowed in KP. No one stops. No arrests are made. Then no one came out in KP either. Such silence and peace after the punishment must be giving a new message. Has the protest politics from within Tehreek-e-Insaf ended, people are not ready to protest anymore.
The political opponents of Tehreek-e-Insaaf had the same opinion about the many calls to march on Islamabad by Tehreek-e-Insaaf that all these protests are done on the strength of the KP government. The attack on Islamabad is done by the power of the KP government. People do not come to climb Islamabad themselves, they are brought.
Islamabad is raided, it does not happen. Now check the confidence of the government on the day of punishment. No arrest has been made anywhere, no container has been placed anywhere, no road has been blocked, no road has been blocked. , no section 144 was imposed. Perhaps the government also had an idea that there would be no protest. People will not react publicly to the punishment, peace be upon all and peace be upon all.
What should this be considered? Is this not a confirmation of the stand of the political opponents of Tehreek-e-Insaaf and the government that people do not leave, they are expelled at the head of the KP government. The peace in Punjab was visible. But the peace of KP was something beyond the visible. Karachi also remained peaceful, Tehreek-e-Insaf is also a contender for popularity there. But even there no one came out and all was peaceful.
By the way, it has been heard that two days after the punishment, the meeting of the core committee was held. It also expressed concern as to why there was no protest. The members of the core committee kept questioning each other as to why the protest did not take place. The responsibility was put on each other that the protest did not happen because of you. Everyone was upset that there was no protest. However, the core committee people had no good reason for not protesting. The only question was why there was no protest.
But after all this, there is also the announcement of celebrating the Black Day on February 8. Now a rally was announced in Peshawar on February 8. The founder of Tehreek-e-Insaf has said in his tweet that all convoys from KP should reach Peshawar on February 8. It is also a matter of surprise for me that a meeting has been organized in Peshawar on February 8. The call to Islamabad was not given, the convoys from the whole country were not called. Only convoys from KP have been directed to come to Peshawar. Now the announcement of the meeting in Peshawar on February 8 is also being considered as a politically weak announcement. This question exists.
Is not calling Islamabad a sign of weakness? Or there is a message of reconciliation in it. Is the back channel running? Hence no climb call is given to Islamabad or Islamabad call is not given after the last final call result.
After the sentence, Chief Minister Gandapur had a long meeting with the founder of Tehreek-e-Insaaf. Of course, they must have been consulted on February 8, Black Day. There is a presumption that the Gandapurs are no longer in favor of a further advance on Islamabad, so the call to Islamabad was not made. As far as the rally in Peshawar is concerned, the protest has no political significance, it should be considered as a reconciliation protest.
However, there is also an opinion that Trump has just taken over. Until there is a signal from America. The situation in Pakistan will not be worsened. After the punishment, there was no special reaction from America. There was no tweet from Richard Grinnell either. Therefore, the opinion is that until there is a signal from America, the attack on Islamabad will not be announced. Therefore, the announcement was not made on February 8.
