Discuss: ABC of Pakistani Politics

abc.jpegWe are building an ABC or Glossary of Pakistani Politics so that newly interested people in politics can quickly catchup with political terms.

The glossary can include anything that has any relation with Pakistani Politics, including Politicians, Parties, Locations, Statements, or anything you can think of.

The description can be explained in a normal or humorous manner, but it should clearly explain the meanings of the term.

In case multiple descriptions are submitted for same term, we can let visitors vote for best description and use that in the final Glossary of Pakistani Politics.

Suggestions are welcomed to make this more interesting and effective.

    Though the elections would not br free and fair as per the majority of the people and the world but let us come forward out of homes and offices and vote for change.
    This is the time that we should prove that we cant afford anarchy and further turmoil in the country.
    So let us send those forces to the parliament who strongly believe in a stronger and civilized Pakistan and this is sure that Choudhry brothers and pro Musharraf MQM never bring the change but further distruction to this Mazloom nation.

    Vicious Cycle of Pakistani politics

    Elections …….> claims of rigging …………> democratic government …….> propaganda and conspiracies by army agents in politicians and agencies ……….> civil unrest ……….> calls for new elections …………..> Army takes hold ………..> Army is welcomed ………..> Martial Law government ………….> rigged referendum ………> rigged elections ………> dummy governments ……….> Army/dummies become unpopularity ………> Army decides to stay away temporarily ……….> elections announced (LOOP : Please start again from Step one).

    Democracy: Demon-crazy, hypocrisy, Elitocracy. It is a simple way for a capitalist to get in power and become the law giver and start performing the duty of Allah (Swt).

    Rulers: Traitors, Agents, looters, servants (All)

    Pakistan comes first: we the rulers of Pakistan solemnly pledge that we will destroy Pakistan first.

    16 cror awam: Innocent criminals, because they again and again trust the same Traitors. They are given predetermined choice between two evils to select which evil he wants.

    Transparent Democracy: More sophisticated way of corruptions and lootings.

    Islami Nizam: Term uses by Mutahida Majils-e- Be-Amal to deceive people, knowingly that democracy can not begat Islamic system.

    Terrorist: The most ambiguous term.

    Al-Qaeda & Taliban: A blank check for the American to attack, occupy, kill, kidnap, torture, rape anybody, anytime and anywhere.

    Seeking solutions from the west: A political suicide for a Nation.

    Washington: More valuable then the Ka’aba for these traitor Rulers.

    Khilafah: The only viable solution and the only way out for the whole Muslim Ummah

    I always doubted MQM and never voted for them in the past but the work they’ve done to Karachi is astonishing, so much development and with such great pace. I think MQM have changed my mind.

    If I was in MQM’s place (God forbid that….It would be a nightmare) then I would also use a lot of money to make different projects before (s)elections. This money is “well” spent since MQM is expecting to get much more in reurn from government funds and BHATTA “business”. MQM people are stupids in some way but still they have some criminal brains and can think of how to make money.

    Lota is a relative term and a better difinition of Lota can be found in the following article
    http://www.jang.com.pk/jang/feb2008-daily/13-02-2008/col8.htm

    I fully agree with what in this article has been written(although I am not fan of this writer)

    LOTA: Something good about lota. It gets Mush’s right hand while the left does the dirty work. Recycling is another noble aspect of it. No justification of leaving it in the filth.

    P.S. Its modern name is a portable Bidet

    F16: A corner plot, not an ultimate flying machine - An integral part of pkpolitics

    • General Musharraf ‘s final briefing with his top brass
    • Todays agenda includes: military budget, posting of our buddies in the civil sector, legal challenges to trash the judiciary, and national talent hunt for more lotas (swinger politicians)
    • Air Marshall: Sir, will you talk about F-16 also?
    • Musharraf: Oh!! Yes!! Yes!! Get it, if it is a corner plot with a mountain view.

    _________________________________________________

    For those, not familiar with Islamabad town plan. Islamabad is divided into square kilometers sectors with taxonomy such as E6, F7, G9, H10, I14 and so on. Sectors E and F are for elites. So, a corner plot in F-16 sector would be a prime real estate and not an ultimate flying machine.
