Times are changing by the minute, confusions increasing and answers hard to come by. Media, thanks to Musharraf, has evolved so much that even sometimes they don't know what to do with their new found independence.
Whom should an average Pakistani trust amongst the current political players? Media? Musharraf? Bhutto? Nawaz Sharif? Judiciary? Lawyers? America? NGOs? Directly or indirectly all of them are involved in not only internal Pakistani politics but also global politics.
It is quite clear that America does not need Musharraf anymore. They have found a much more controllable person in Benazir Bhutto. Musharraf towed the line for sometime but his refusal of handing over AQ Khan, not allowing direct engagement of Nato forces in Pakistan and not sending troops to Iraq would not have won many Western friends. It seems that his time is up and a massive propoganda has been unleashed against him just like it was unleashed against Zulfiqar Bhutto. This is usually done to ensure that when he goes nobody will miss him. And also to create confusion and chaos. Since a confused and chaotic nation can never progress. Only those from such a nation can progress who distance themselves from such confusions.
Pakistan is badly entangled in global politics at the moment. Nobody including Musharraf is an angel. Whom should Pakistan trust at the moment? And what should we do? I think the following will surely help.
1. Place your trust in nobody else except Allah.
2. Pray for Pakistan
3. Revolutionize your life as per the commands of Allah (i.e. Shariah).
4. Do not try to force Shariah since doing so will be going against Shariah in itself.
5. Influence your circle i.e. your family and friends to follow Shariah in both letter and spirit.
6. Whoever is ruling Pakistan, try to support him in everything which is not against Shariah. You don't know on what basis he is making his decisions. So don't distrust him.
7. Especially follow Shariah when it says that don't spread anything without proper investigation. If all of us, including our media, starts following this then 90% of the current confusion and chaos will be over.
Distance yourself from being a victim or an agent for spreading of confusion and chaos.
8. Become active. Develop communities. e.g. if you feel education is the cure for Pakistan develop a small community to educate the uneducated in your circle. Rather than watching television for hours you can help someone within that time. Don't worry about resources. Help a single person. Be positive. Abdul Sattar Edhi, Ansar Burney and hundreds of social workers in Pakistan don't rely on government or funds from US for helping the poor.
9. Vote. Vote for whoever you think is the lesser of the evils. Don't worry about rigging. You just do your duty and leave the rest to Allah.
In the end please remember that a leader making wrong decisions is not as dangerous as an extremely divided nation. If we continue on the same lines, as we are walking on today, we risk becoming a confused, chaotic and divided nation.
