Fitna Technique

By Dawar Naqvi • Nov 24th, 2008 • Category: Politics • 4 Comments

Pakistan is really on some race stuff.

It’s unfortunate that we don’t deal with it and that’s why it doesn’t go away.

 

Acrimonious exchange of words took place between the Awami National Party (ANP) and

the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) legislators in the National Assembly on Friday over calling the

NWFP as ‘Pakhtunkhwa’ by the former.

My entire question to PML (N) is that if they are against the name of Pakhtunkhwa because it’s named on the Puktoon nation;

why not their legislators passed any resolution in assembly over calling the Pakistan largest province as a Punjab.

It is also the name on the people of Punjab who are called themselves Punjabis.

 

To call Pakhtunkhwa to NWFP province is not a new slogan.

ANP always supported this slogan.

This is always in the constitution of ANP to rename NWFP.

 

But many times in past PML (N) had worked closely with ANP regardless of their different ideology.

 

PML (N) runs the joint movement with ANP against Retired General Mushraf and his government.

 

It is not hidden that Ghafar Khan Father of founder of ANP Abdul wali Khan,

was given the title of “Frontier Gandhi“.

He was buried in Jalalabad, Afghanistan according to his wishes, he preferred to be buried on the land of Afghanistan over Pakistan.

 

But PML (N) legislators never raised their voice in assembly against ANP or Ghaffar Khan.

 

Asfandyar Wali Khan served as leader of the Pakhtun Student Federation prior to being elected to the provincial Assembly in the 1990 election

But several times PML (N) supported ANP nationalist candidates in the elections.

Mutually they supported Judges Movement.

They collectively arranged APC conference in London.

Many times ANP and PML (N) came on the streets together for the violent protests.

Dec 31, 2007; Pakistan Muslim League (N) chief Nawaz Sharif has invited Sindh Taraqi Pasand Party chairman

Dr Qadir Magsi to attend an all party conference in London.

May 3, 2006; A number of leaders of the ANP and PML-N and lawyers joined the strike to express solidarity

with the Balochistan National Party (BNP).

How many times they sat with the parties who are nationalists.

 

But now million dollar question is why PML (N) raising this issue now.

I will call this a “Fitna Technique”.

They always bring controversial issues on highly sensitive time to create panic in the country.

 

They had done many times in the past and they are doing again.

 

In the Last decade PML (N) used the same technique against Sindh province.

They brought fake Jinnah Purr map against MQM.

I urged every one please do not allow PML (N) to deceive you again.

  1. Very well written Dawar.

    PML (N) needs only one thing i.e power.
    They wanted to see Nawaz Sharif PM again.

    Ther are trying to create unharmony in this current govt as they did in previous govt.
    If today we will make NZ PM then he will do same as Zardari.

    PML (N) just wanted to get Power.
    We should not support them.

  2. Nawaz Sharif is in the top 10 richest people list of Pakistan.
    In 1980s, he was not ven in top 2000 people list.

    How he become rich?

    Generally we think when people start serving nation they could become poor.
    Because they do not have time for thier own business or work.
    But why our leaders become rich after they become minister , mna or Prime Minsiter.
    This is a common sense.

    Only blind and fool people can support leader like Nawaz Sharif.

  3. ANP should be ban they are aginst creation of Pakistan.
    They are racist.

  4. Pukhtoonkoa ho ya Afghania…. Neither these names will provide one time “Roti” to poor nor it will snatch.

    It is political game and nothing else. ANP is doing its politics from the day first on 2 issues… Kalabagh Dam and Pakhtoonistan. If they wont be able to safeguard their both issues then they will be unable to come in power again. But tell you very frankly, people of any part of Pakistan are hardly concerned about these names. They want to settle their own problems.

    As far personal attacks on any political party or race is concerned then I will call it as an agenda to make us fight on useless points. I am Pathan, Punjabi, Sindi, Balochi, Muhajir, Saraiki, Gilgiti, Kashmiri…means I am Pakistani. I have nothing to do with names, tags, race etc etc.

    I love my people and people love me.

    I would suggest that we should realise this thing that we are Pakistani. Previously we were encouraged to fight on Shia Sunni…but now these racist kind of topics are frequent in media and around us. So please understand and act wisely.

    Dawar Bhai, please app bhee language or provincial issues say bahir aa ker sochain aur likhain. Thnaks.

  5. To rename NWFP as Pakhtunkhwa may not be point of contention for any one but are members aware of the fact that new Mega Bill Boards with map of new state of Greater Pushtunistan are on display on the main roads of NWFP. The board have been put up by ANP government them selves.
