We all witnessed 30th October 2011 as a defining moment in the
history and politics of Pakistan.It was felt for the first time that youth had
determined to bring a change.After that day,big names started to join PTI and
when PML-N felt threatened they accused General (r) Pasha being involved in
horse trading. Media and some political parties taunted Imran Khan of setting a
dry clean plant,but when almost a year later some of Musharraf's men started
joining other parties,neither did media critize them nor they themselves feel
shame in taking those men back.
I still remember when abdul aleem khan and Shahid Akram
Bhinddar,ex-ministers in Musharraf's govt. had joined PTI,PML-N supporters had
issued a non-official charge sheet against them which was more emotional than
being factual.And when Shahid Akram Bhinddar left PTI to join PML-N,no protest
was recorded by PML-N supporters.If today Abdul Aleem khan joins PML-N,i bet
you wo'nt hear any protest becasue this is the pattern of dirty politics which
PML-N has been following.I still remember those days when Nawaz Shareef used to
say that we'll not take members of Musharraf's team back in our party,But when
PPP created a threat for PML-N they created a forward block out of PML-Q and
managed to survive. Now-a-days NAwaz Shareef is taking Musharraf's men back by
dozens.He is even making seat adjustments with banned organizations like Ahl e
sunnat wal jamat (formerly known as Sappah e Sahaba). I cant help banging my
head against wall on this dilemma of our politics. I sometimes think that what
did old supporters and workers of PML_N get in reward of their services? It
seems that PML-N wants to win by hook or crook.
In such circumstances Imran Khan's announcement that he'll give
25% tickets to the youth in election,is like a cool breeze for our
politics,although we'll have to wait until election to see whether he stands by
his promise or not.It would have been far better if Imran had announced even
more quota for youth.I have a formula to suggest to Imran.The suggestion is
that Imran Khan should give chance to youth (25-40 years old candidates) on all
provincial assembly seats except 15-20 where he has experienced candidates available and
he should give tickets to candidates older than 40 years for national assembly.
There's no draw back in this plan.At maximum ,a candidate in
provincial assembly will lose but he'll get an experience of mainstream
politics.and when these candidates will compete at least twice in 15 years for
provincial assemblies,they will be trained to compete for national assemblies
And by following this formula,representation of youth can be increased upto 45%
in parliament.Besides having elected educated youth,there will be another
benefit to PTI,namely loyalty.Youth are more loyal and firm to their ideas
.So,when senate elections will be held,Imran Khan wo'nt have to bother of
political loyalties.
It was just an advise and i have shared it.To accept or not is
upon PTI.
Consequences
By following this plan,PTI will have a whole fresh and new crop of experienced politicians available in next 12-15 years.
