Nawaz Sharif is in pole position, but governance is a steep task in Pakistan

With PML (N) veteran leader Nawaz Sharif taking the pole position in Pakistan general elections today, India should expect stability on its western borders for at least for next three years as Mian Sahib has not only the blessings of Rawalpindi GHQ but also a mature experienced leader unlike his predecessor and now incarcerated Imran Khan and childish PPP leader Bilawal Zardari.

However, whosoever the Pakistan public elects as the new leader, the country is no bed of roses and the next Prime Minister will have to deal with problems ranging from a pathetic economy, rampant insurgency in Balochistan and KPK, a state within state terrorist groups in Punjab province and a highly radicalized Islamic society within the exalted sense of geographical identity. Simply put, Pakistan is a failed state thriving on doles from China, which uses Islamabad in its effort to contain its arch-rival India.

While there is no doubt that the Pakistan Army is the biggest stakeholder in India’s neighbouring country and runs the Islamic Republic from the shadows, Nawaz Sharif is the best bet for Rawalpindi as its experiment with the unscrupulous Imran Khan failed miserably. Sharif has been removed by Pakistan President, Pakistan Army and Pakistan Supreme Court in the past, yet has the nerve to trudge his path. His last tenure as PM was numbered after the word Kashmir, smelling salts for all Punjabi Pakistanis, was found amiss in the India-Pakistan joint statement at Ufa on July 10, 2015, after Nawaz Sharif met Prime Minister Narendra Modi. But then the same word was found missing when Nawaz Sharif came for PM Modi’s swearing-in ceremony on May 26, 2014, even during the one-to-one the two leaders had after the ceremony.

Nawaz Sharif

While the leftist-liberal media of the Indian sub-continent and the West tries to draw an equivalence between India and Pakistan by calling them nuclear-powered rivals, the fact is that the Modi government has only cross-border terrorism on its agenda with Pakistan having moved on from Islamabad in the past decade of Narendra Modi. Since PM Modi respects Nawaz Sharif, India will give another chance to normalise ties with Pakistan if the PML (N) leader takes the chair but its objectives insofar as Pakistan is concerned will remain unchanged. Bluntly put, India will not take cross-border terrorism lying down and will retaliate in kind.

In case Nawaz Sharif becomes the PM of Pakistan, then trade and traditional ties may resume with Islamabad provided the new PM takes action against rabidly anti-India Punjabi terrorist groups in Pakistan. The fact is that Pakistan can ill-afford to heat its eastern border with terrorism as its western front is burning with both Iran and Afghanistan upset at the machinations of the Pakistani deep state and Baluch and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) insurgency at its peak.

Unlike his predecessors, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is not looking for any legacy with Pakistan and is crystal clear on what to expect from the rabidly radicalized state. With Nawaz Sharif as PM, there should be a semblance of stability on India’s western front though it will take Pakistan decades to come out of the economic and political abyss that it is currently finding itself in. And for that Pakistan Army and its unscrupulous politicians are to be blamed.

Final Thought

Nawaz Sharif’s possible comeback to Pakistan as prime minister presents a complicated mix of prospects and difficulties. Even if Sharif’s leadership might bring about a time of relative stability, particularly about India-Pakistan ties, he still has the difficult challenge of leading a country dealing with serious political, economic, and security problems. With meaningful steps taken against terrorism, his experience and historical attitude to India may open the door for the restoration of commerce and historical relations. But whatever whoever leads, Pakistan’s road to recovery and peace is likely to be a difficult one, given the Pakistan Army’s overwhelming power and the nation’s deeply ingrained issues.

Sex Scandal Case: Lookout Notice Issued Against JDS Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna

Sex Scandal Case: Lookout Notice Issued Against JDS Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna

The Special Investigation Team (SIT) looking into the Hassan sex scandal has issued a lookout notice against incumbent JD (S) MP Prajwal Revanna, according to sources on Thursday. The development resulted from the father-son pair’s failure to show up for the Special Investigation Team (SIT) hearing, which was established by the Karnataka government led by Chief Minister Siddharamaiah to look into the claims of sexual assault against the Hassan MP. After turning down Prajwal Revanna’s request to be given seven days to appear for an inquiry, the panel decided not to permit him to attend. Since the circular was released, rumors imply that Prajwal will probably be arrested as soon as he enters the nation and reports at the immigration points in connection with the sex scandal case.

In the meantime, Revanna, who is being investigated for allegedly abusing multiple women sexually, has refuted all of the accusations made against him and stated on social media that the truth will eventually come to light. The MP, who departed the nation as soon as his constituency’s election was over, has also requested a seven-day window in which to appear before the Special Investigation Team (SIT), which the Karnataka government established to look into the vast collection of approximately 3,000 explicit images and videos that have gone viral on social media and are purportedly about him.

AMIT SHAH ON HASSAN SEX SCANDAL CASE

Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Wednesday that the Karnataka Congress government knew for months about the obscene video allegations against suspended JD-S leader Prajwal Revanna, but it let him go because it wanted the state’s Vokkaliga-dominated areas to finish voting in the Lok Sabha elections. “In Karnataka, whose government is it? The party of Congress. What they have to do is maintain law and order. It was known to them for months. However, they didn’t find him until after the Vokkaliga voting was over. They allowed him to escape. That’s the fault of the Karnataka CM, HM, and Deputy CM, Shah stated in an interview.

KARNATAKA GOVT ON PRAJWAL REVANNA INQUIRY

Karnataka Home Minister G Parmeshwar stated on Thursday that MP Prajwal Revanna will need to appear before the SIT and cannot avoid or withdraw from the inquiry. As soon as it became known that he was abroad, a watchful statement was released. His personal information has been released. However, his attorneys have asked SIT for seven days. However, no time-giving mechanism is there. To apprehend him, the SIT will use all required measures. Six days might be granted if there are provisions, but he must show up. He is unable to back down. The victims have provided taped statements. Parmeshwar stated, “Another victim filed a complaint yesterday.

Amit Shah Asserts ‘400 Paar’ Target On Track, NDA to Surpass by 12:30pm on Counting Day

According to Home Minister Amit Shah, the NDA is “well on track” to fulfill its goal of “400 paar,” despite the poor voter turnout in the first two phases of the Lok Sabha Election 2024. In a special interview, Shah cited antiquated voter rolls and “no competition” as some of the factors contributing to poor voter turnout. Despite a low voter turnout, Shah responded, “It is absolutely on track,” when asked if the “400 paar” for the NDA and the “370 for the BJP” were on track. You will witness that on counting day, Modi ji will once again become prime minister when the NDA crosses 400 members before 12.30 pm.

“My team and I have conducted an extensive analysis. With well over 100 seats from the first two phases, we are heading into the third. “I don’t see any issues with surpassing the 400 target,” he continued. Shah listed “no contest from the other side” and the twelve-year electoral roll modification as causes of the low voting turnout.

‘Past 10 Years Will Be Written in Golden Letters’

This decade will be remembered in golden letters, according to the Home Minister and Gandhinagar-based BJP candidate, who also enumerated the party’s accomplishments during the previous ten years. He went on to say that the Narendra Modi administration could brag about its accomplishments over the last 10 years, including creating a “terror-free India,” defeating Naxalism, growing the economy to unprecedented levels, repealing Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, and inaugurating the Ram Mandir. In ten years, Narendra Modi has virtually completely freed us from terrorism, and you could argue that naxalism has been eradicated to the tune of about 95%. The seven states of Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Maharashtra have now eradicated naxalism, according to Shah.

Speaking about the way the Modi administration turned the Indian economy around, Shah remarked, “Narendra Modi has brought about a sea change in just 10 years.” The value of shares is soaring. Indian mutual funds have helped the market even after FII sales. All bank balance sheets are now in extremely good shape. Previously ranked eleventh in terms of economy, the nation is currently ranked sixth. Everywhere—village, city, forest, desert, coast, or city—work is being done to develop infrastructure,” he continued.

“These 10 years will be written about in golden letters in every field,” Shah said, capping his response to the question about the accomplishments of the BJP. “Whether it is higher education, new economic policy, or Ram Janmabhoomi ending Article 370 sections, triple talaq, bringing UCC, or fundamental changes in the criminal laws of the country,” he said. People also believe that Narendra Modi’s efforts are the sole reason a pandemic like Corona could be contained so successfully.

Modi Jabs at Rahul Gandhi: Pakistan’s Desires for ‘Shehzada’ Surface Amid Political Tension

Days after Chaudhry Fawad Hussain, a former minister of Pakistan, complimented Rahul Gandhi and said that Pakistani officials wanted to make the Congress leader India’s prime minister, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a subtle jab at the former head of the party on Thursday. Narendra Modi declared, “Congress is dying here, and Pakistanis are crying,” during an election rally in Anand, Gujarat. Leaders in Pakistan desire for Congress to become India’s prime minister, or “shehzada.” The Congress, according to Modi, is a “mureed” (follower) of Pakistan.

“Observe the coincidence—the Congress is becoming less powerful in India now. Pakistani officials are currently hoping for the Congress. Pakistan is keen to install the prince as prime minister, and the Congress is known to be supportive of Pakistan. Modi said, “This Pakistani-Congress collaboration has now been fully revealed. In a video that Chaudhry Fawad Hussain posted, Rahul Gandhi, the Congressman, is seen criticizing Prime Minister Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party. The Congress lawmaker is heard criticizing the BJP administration regarding the invitees at Ram Mandir’s Pran Pratishtha event in the video that the former Pakistani minister posted.

In the edited footage, Rahul Gandhi is heard criticizing the BJP government for neglecting the needs of the underprivileged and young people during the opening of the Ram Mandir. In response to Chaudhry Fawad Hussain’s post, the BJP attacked the Congress on Wednesday. The chairman of the BJP’s IT unit, Amit Malviya, said on X, “Rahul Gandhi is being promoted by Ch. Fawad Hussain, a former Imran Khan cabinet minister for information and broadcasting. Does the Congress intend to run for office in Pakistan?” “From a manifesto that has imprints of the Muslim League to a ringing endorsement, from across the border, Congress’s dalliance with Pakistan can’t get more obvious,” Amit Malviya said.

Congress Shahzade is twirling around, their foreheads emblazoned with the Constitution. However, this did not apply to all of Hindustan for 75 years. In Kashmir, where Article 370 was like a wall that we tore down and the Constitution did not apply, Modi continued at the Anand rally. Additionally, Modi asserted that Pakistani terrorism had lost its luster. The nation that was once a leader in the export of terrorism is currently looking for flour. I commit myself to working nonstop to make India a developed country by 2047. The president said, “We connected 14 crore houses to tap water in ten years, while the Congress connected only three crore houses in sixty years.”
