ELECTION ... SKEPETICISM ... WINNERS ... LOSERS !

Salam and Duaien ...

People were skeptical ... There were arguments and counter ... Theories and hypothesis ... Speculations and insinuations ... Delusional talk of conspiracies ... Illusional spread of  rumours ... Will it happen?

Yes it did ... Second successive government completed its tenure ... Constitutional timelines met ... Institutions, despite unnecessary malicious campaign and propaganda, stayed firm ... Scorching heat ... Political polarisation ... Terror Typhoon ... Nothing repeated nothing could deter.

General Elections 2018 took place on the due date ... 25 July 2018 with conspicuous positives:-

Huge turn out.

A new federal party with a promise on the horizon.

PPP, the only federal party of the last five decades showed definite signs of a new lease with its young leader displaying 'pleasant and plenty' maturity and potential during the campaign.

A whole lot of 'bigwigs with a baggage' shown the door. 

 Karachi coming out 'big with a bang'.

 A determined Balochistan with mostly young and vibrant leadership.

The land between Indus and Jehlum stamping the power of the youth while registering its protest  on the 'Slander', loud and clear. 

KPK turned a new leaf in its 'The most politically aware Province' saga.  

All Praises to Allah Karim with Whose (SWT) Blessings, Nation Pakistan,  Judiciary, Armed Forces, Election Commission and other State Machinery made IT POSSIBLE. Bowing in extreme humility to Allah Karim in SHUKRANA ... all deserve a big appreciation.

One was there on the polling day to cast the vote, and with complete responsibility ... One can vouch that 'POLLING PROCESS' was the most transparent, orderly and hassle/obstruction free ... EVER. 

The political parties, though, have raised lot of queries about the result compilation and SERIOUS INVOLVEMENT ... With due deference to their claims ... My two cents are ... 

If there was a partisan involvement of Conducting/Supervising Institutions in the compilation of results ... 'It was as GOOD as NOT-DONE', for the yield it generated ... BECAUSE ... If at all they had to sacrifice the good name of theirs, they should have ensured THAT THEIR PICK HAD RESOUNDING VICTORY WITH THUMPING TWO THIRD MAJORITY  .. Instead one sees A HANDICAPPED WINNER WHOSE BOTH HANDS ARE TIED BEHIND HIS BACK WITH THE MOST POWERFUL OPPOSITION-EVER BREATHING DOWN HIS THROAT.

So rather jumping to the conclusions let the 'DUE PROCESS' determine whether the noise has substance or  akin to 'انگور کھٹے ہیں'.

Whatever the outcome of the inquiry ... For all the competitors  ... 

The winners, while you rejoice, keep in view that its temporary ... Hard work, diligence and sincerity of purpose can give you a second chance but all must end one day ... AND ... Those who fell short ... While you brood  over the loss, you must not resort to the 'SAMPSON OPTION' ... Instead do some soul searching to find out THE WHY ... and then get going to carve out THE HOW ... Defeats are the prelude to Victories which also must face supersession ultimately.

Following from Sheikh Ibrahim Zauq ...  may not be pertinent to the subject but ........... :

ہو عمرِ خضر بھی، تو ہو معلوم وقتِ مرگ

ہم کیا رہے یہاں، ابھی آے ابھی چلے

ہم سے بھی اِس بساط پہ کم ہوں گے بد قمار

جو چال ہم چلے سو نہایت بری چلے

نازاں نہ ہو خرد پہ، جو ہونا ہے ہو وہی

دانش تری نہ کچھ مری دانش وری چلے

دنیا نے کس کاراہِ فنا میں دیا ہے ساتھ

تم بھی چلے چلو یوں ہی جب تک چلی چلے

Only thing to be remembered by all of us is:

'EVERY THING REVOLVES AROUND PAKISTAN

WE ALL ARE, IF PAKISTAN IS

PAKISTAN IS, IF IT HAS ITS ARMED FORCES ON THE FRONTLINES AND NATION ROCK SOLID ON ITS BACK'

so

سدا سلامت پاکستان ۔ تا قیامت پاکستان
