Pashtun Protests Against Operations in FATA
The situation in the FATA areas is critical, with widespread protests against ongoing military operations. People in Wazistan and Khyber Agency are demonstrating against what they perceive as an operation targeting Pashtuns. The sentiment among the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is overwhelmingly against these operations, with many feeling that their population is being wiped out, leading to loss of life, financial hardship, and the appropriation of their lands and resources. They express a deep distrust of the Pakistani military establishment, viewing these operations as a means for earning dollars and appeasing foreign powers without any benefit to the local population.
Murad Saeed's Warnings and Drone Attacks
Murad Saeed has voiced strong opposition to pushing Khyber Pakhtunkhwa into a new war, warning about the return of terrorism. He claims that terrorist groups were being sent to the region as part of a planned scheme to worsen the situation and justify large-scale military operations. Despite these warnings, Saeed's concerns were dismissed as propaganda. Drone attacks have increased, with the army allegedly targeting its own citizens, including homes, playgrounds, and civilians, under the guise of public interest. These attacks are often followed by false statements labeling the victims as terrorists, despite evidence to the contrary.
Desire for Peace and Accusations of Treason
The people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa yearn for peace and the right to live without fear. They want their children to be safe when they go out to play, just like children in other parts of Pakistan. However, voices advocating for peace are being silenced, with individuals labeled as traitors and threatened with drone attacks. There are concerns that a new operation is being planned in the Kabali areas, which would lead to the evacuation of local populations and the control of Mediniyats (local systems) by the government or establishment.
The 18th Amendment and a New Game
Despite the passage of the 18th Amendment and arrangements for FATA, there is a perceived desire to be part of a larger game. By bypassing the provincial government and elected representatives, there are attempts to implement a new experiment under the guise of the old local system. The aim is allegedly to capture Mediniyat and gain international benefits through a new war or operation. Funds are deliberately withheld from FATA to bring it back under the control of Wafaq (federal government), fueling anger among the people.
Murad Saeed's Concerns and the Dollar War
Murad Saeed emphasizes that if FATA is merged, funds should be allocated for its development and security. He questions the logic of withholding funds and expresses concern over the spread of fear through drone attacks and curfews. Saeed argues that peace returns to FATA when the establishment is less involved, and the local Mediniyat is left to function independently. He accuses the establishment of starting a "dollar war" by showcasing funerals and martyring innocent people in drones to gain financial benefits and control over the region's resources.
Call for Unity and Awareness
The speaker urges the people to be aware of the new games being played and to stay united. A protest and sit-in are planned in Vastan starting from the 11th, and participation is encouraged. Peace representatives have been informed about the unfolding situation, and their lives are in danger. However, unity is seen as the key to achieving peace and defeating the objectives of those seeking to exploit the region.
Oppression and the Current Establishment
The speaker identifies the current establishment as the oppressor, citing actions such as defaming the sanctity of homes, making people disappear, killing innocent individuals, firing on unarmed protesters, and disrespecting worshippers. These actions are described as oppression, tyranny, and violations of human rights. Imran Khan and his companions are portrayed as the oppressed, facing arrests, imprisonment, and mistreatment. The speaker expresses pride in the Pakistani people for standing with the oppressed.
Mohsin Naqvi and Alia Hamza
The speaker contrasts the situation of Mohsin Naqvi, who requires heavy security due to public anger, with Alia Hamza, who moves freely among the people without police protection. Mohsin Naqvi is described as a media owner with connections to the Army Chief, which has facilitated his rise to power. His public image is so tarnished that he cannot move openly among the public.
Sohail Bada's Statements and Legal Authority
The speaker expresses astonishment at statements made by Sohail Bada, who suggests that the establishment has legal authority for oppression after the government is established. The speaker argues that there is no legal authority for oppression and that the use of force is strictly regulated by law. He clarifies that the establishment typically refers to a group of top army officers and those close to them, with the Army Chief's decisions often considered the establishment's decisions.
Hospital Negligence and Privatization
The head nurse of DHQ Hospital in Pakpatan, Salma Tafail, was removed from her post after writing a letter to the MS (Medical Superintendent) about the need to maintain oxygen supply. This decision was allegedly made because her actions damaged the hospital's reputation. The speaker criticizes the privatization of hospitals, noting that the Punjab government's plan has failed, with private management refusing to run the hospitals in Muzaffargarh and Okada. This privatization is seen as a way to deprive the poor of healthcare, as they will no longer have access to free treatment in government hospitals.
Karachi Building Collapse and Government Incompetence
The speaker criticizes the government's handling of the building collapse in Karachi, where bodies remain buried in the debris days after the incident. The MM (Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal) and People's Party are blaming each other for the disaster, while the dead bodies are not being recovered. The speaker expresses dismay at the incompetence of those in charge, noting that they have failed to address the situation effectively.
National Debt and Economic Crisis
The national debt has reached a new high of Rs 76,450 billion under the current government. The speaker questions how taking loans can improve the economy, arguing that the economy improves by repaying loans or reducing their amount. The loans taken in the three years under the current regime are nearly equal to the loans taken in the 75 years prior to 2022. Pakistani capitalists are fleeing the country, selling their assets at low prices, due to the prevailing circumstances. The speaker warns that it will take decades to recover from this debt crisis, even with continuity and without further disruptions from the establishment.
