Is Pakistan on Its Way to an "Arab Spring"? | TCM Explains
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 июл 2024
- With increasing inflation and changing power dynamics, political engineering in Pakistan is now harder than ever, according to Oxford University Associate Professor Dr. Adeel Malik. This is part 2 of TCM's conversation with Dr. Adeel, exploring his perspective on Pakistan's governability crisis, the collapsing power structure, and the lack of legitimacy in institutions.
TCM’s journey since 2017 has been about telling stories that people want to hear, which mainstream media has been neglecting for decades. We want to disrupt the status quo by delivering engaging content that empowers impassioned voices and impacts social change. We are defined by integrity, grit, and ingenuity, and this is what drives us.

پاکستان کے ریٹائرڈ سرکاری ملازمین پنشن کی مد میں سالانہ 1800 ارب روپے لے رہے ہیں، یہ رقم اتنی بڑی ہے کہ ہم پاکستان میں تمام طلباء کو 100فیصد مفت یونیورسٹی کی تعلیم، اعلیٰ معیار کے ہاسٹل اور بہترین کھانا دے سکتے ہیں، اور پھر بھی ہمارے پاس ایک بڑی رقم باقی رہ جاے
@Byteminds-gd2je sab k liye zaroori hai ya sirf sarkari mulameen k liye jo abadi ka sirf 10% hain
@Byteminds-gd2je tou kya har buzurg ko pension nahi milni chahiay ?ya sirf sarkari buzurg ko hi milni chahiay ?
Pension wale hramkhor humari hafio ka ghosht b noch rahe ha inki oension band honi chahye in logo ne ihsan nahi kia salary li ha
جو ھے اس کو صحیح خرچ کریں۔۔۔ یہاں جو بھی کریں ۔۔ کوئی فایدہ نہیں ۔۔۔ جب تک قانون اور انصاف نہیں ھوگا
@Byteminds-gd2je puri dunya main jo shehri tax deta hai , woh pension ka haqdar hota hai , pakistan main sirf sarkari mulazim sari pension kha jatay hain

Very impressive
Brilliant work
WB Inflation, consumer prices (annual %) for instance in one of the Arab spring countries (Egypt) shows that in 2011 it was 11% raised to 13percent in 2022 and 33% in 2023. almost same trend in other A.S countries
Best analysics
This show is much better than Raftaar Tv who always do anti imran shows
How can I get his written article?
Very nice analysis
Realistic analysis
Very well said that power is potent only as long as it is masked
You are missing one cardinal point that when people want to see a govt to fail then every thing starts moving in the reverse direction. This is exactly what is happening in Pakistan

Good analysis
System of Authoritarian Elite family power sharing who protect each other. This is why accountability doesn't proceed as they are not coming through a merit system but nepotism. Each one has self interests and each one is a mafia with its own territory.
Arab spring and correction of democratic norms are two different things.
Please provide link to the paper written by the Professor ... Thanks ...
A good analysis
Pakistan public has no problem with Army. They have a problem with their unnecessary interference in politics, business, economy and in general administration. Also people are of the view that Army is promoting corrupt politicians and parties and not letting upright and educated individuals to come into politics.
It's the reality of Pakistan of today generals n co are trying to maintain the status quo but it will not stay this it's now or never situation now
Pakistani army general will not even qualify for clerk job in other countries. .

As per comments, I would say Jesi awam wese hukmuran.
Do you remember what we use to read about chinese people in 1950 and 1960, "Afeemchi, drug user, nashay may doobi qaum", where is china now, dont forget china got independence a year after pakistan.
In Pakistan every important gov position is control by army. Army select prime minister. Army control judges, police, business, internal and foreign policy, rail way and pia telecom and construction of roads and highways. Borders and checkposts are control by army. Pakistan is run by army.
Good views

What's your views on PTM and their future

The indifference or the lack thereof on the economic meltdown is perplexing nonetheless economic stability will remain an important variable that may quickly change the prevailing courtship. Pakistan is facing an existential crisis with the debt surmounting over $274 billion amidst unrelenting plunder of state institutions/infrastructure and mortgaging these for seeking more loans, reducing fiscal independence and drastically impacting sovereign decision-making.
David O Smith’s assumption, “The military may have finally realized that the true centre of gravity of Pakistan National Security lies in its economy and not in the military capacity alone”, hopefully must have been reckoned with in its entirety. Or we will mercilessly and in bewilderment see the ship sinking and do nothing in the name of neutrality.
Intriguing though it may appear, the neutrality notion contextualization by Amir Zia says it all, “Many view the fall of the Imran Khan’s government amid this buzz of ‘neutrality’ as a switching of sides by the army, or worse, abject surrender to the much-tried, tested and failed corrupt political dynasties in this country”.
Intended Purpose and Objectives
Resultantly, the unfortunate conflagration of hatred and rift between the society and the state (sic the military) - a fervent desire of the inimical forces, which ironically have been callously choreographed by none other than the political cartel in its internecine struggle and lust for power with such purported objectives, as:
Propping up the dwarfing image of the political elite, marred by corruption scandals (Panama leaks, money laundering, etc.).
Drawing the military down from the high moral pedestal and deriding its iconic image of being a guardian of national interest.
Yield space to the US and bring the military establishment under control.
A more confident and emboldened political establishment, having regained space, endeavor a more intrusive and searching role in affairs of the military, curtailing its freedom of action on particularly strategic and nuclear issues.
Make the military accomplice in state dispensation and when needed apportion blame, making the military a scapegoat for its inept handling of important foreign and domestic issues.
Silence the political dissent and disarray the political opposition by insinuating a military hand in the ongoing political unrest.
If all else fails, eventually, provoke the military in taking any unconstitutional step to remove the government and become a political martyr yet again to improve political stature.
Let the military/caretaker government deal with the difficult multifarious socio-economic challenges and clean the Augean stables.
Modus Operandi
While appearing to play a second fiddle to the military, let the military have a say on issues of national import, with their own perfidious characteristic indifference to national affairs.
Keep the military leadership in good humour through obliging and appeasing actions of routine nature, while continuing to guard and advance their political and commercial interests.
Through astute political brinkmanship consolidate their rabid dispensation by appeasing the political allies, shrinking the space for the political opponents, and precluding the possibility of any Bonapartist corrective course by the military.
Create organized chaos, turbulence, and disorder and induce a managed economic collapse to an extent that holding of elections appears of secondary importance and redundant - thereby seeking more time for consolidating political rule on the pretext of propping up the faltering economy.
Diminishing Military Support
A stock check of the entire situation and the current state of the civil-military relations in Pakistan reveal one straight fact i.e. the military seems to be the principal loser in this ongoing fratricide. Over the years, the fraternal bond of love, affection, and reverence that the military so painstakingly built with the populace with its blood and sweat, emerging as a saviour in almost every national crisis, has come crashing down.

The ensuing animus between the Pakistan Army and the people has affected national unity drastically. All this is perhaps due to the inadvertent misstep of becoming indifferent and aloof (apolitical) - as a consequence, ushering in a corrupt political cartel and then turning a blind eye to the flagrant incompetence, misgovernance, mishandling, and rampant loot and plunder.
The romance with the military has been a dream gone sour, which could only be re-lived, if the miltablishment lives up to its image, understand people’s aspiration, and dole out an even hand, ensuring transparency, fair play, and nudges the stakeholders to sort out the political impasse - rather than leaving an impression of political vicitimisation or a witch-hunt against its erstwhile political master.
The panacea of prevailing crises is hence none other than adherence to the constitution and the rule of law by all state organs without prejudice and distinction and an earnest recourse to the free-fair polls.
Considering Possibilities
While the time of much talked about and expected possibility of sending the political order packing and replacing it with a technocratic government (otherwise a non-starter) to institute a reformative political and economic agenda is gone, there is no other alternative at hand than the resort to bring in a legitimate political dispensation.
The present turn of events suggests the following immediate remedial and imperatives:
First and foremost is a perception reset - the battered and sullied image of the military in public eyes needs to be restored.
Undertake a Public Relations (PR) initiative to win the hearts and minds of the people.
Notwithstanding the government tactics of distancing itself from the episode, ensure that the inquiry into Arshad Sharif’s murder and Imran Khan’s killing attempt is conducted justly and in earnest - and in that, if there is a need for internal institutional reshuffles - it ought to be done!
With malice towards none, the military needs to live up to its resolve of remaining apolitical and stop, shun, and refrain from political engineering, eschewing playing the favorites. The image, however, of the COAS and the would-be caretaker Chief Minister of Punjab together at the Kaaba’s doorsteps didn’t serve well, sullying the impression of impartiality further.
Being the only institution that has a lien over other state organs (Judiciary, FIA, NAB, IB, Election Commission, et al), yields its influence to enable, empower and engender a righteous course for instituting a just and fair system.
Inducement of political pressure on the government to bring in some semblance of political order.
Let the situation be taken over by events, while the military continues lending a helping hand on important foreign, domestic, and nation-building issues.
Nudging the government for sustainable foreign, defence, and economic policies, as these are potential instability triggers, which indirectly affect the deterrence capability.
Last Word
The founding father was categorical in defining the military’s role - stating, “Don’t forget that the armed forces are the servants of the people. You don’t make national policy; it is the civilians, who decide these issues and it is your duty to carry out these tasks with which you are entrusted” - ironically, however, the dictum has been trampled time and again in the name of national interest and progress.
The genius of military leadership demands that it lives up to the abiding aphorism and for a change finally go back to the barracks, but not before cleaning the Augean stables. If you have started it, you ought to finish it also!
