After Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s statement that political parties and political leaders should create space for each other, the news of reconciliation has become hot once again. On the other hand, the news of Federal Information Minister Murtaza Solangi’s meeting with Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Shafqat Mehmood has also forced political analysts to talk about reconciliation again.
This meeting is also being called as the first formal contact between the caretaker government and Tehreek-e-Insaf. There are also reports coming from inside Tehreek-e-Insaaf that they are asking President Arif Alvi to open the way for reconciliation with everyone in Tehreek-e-Insaaf.
As far as Maulana Fazlur Rahman is concerned, he has not done this for the first time. A few days ago, he had said a similar thing that if one’s mind is closed, then how is the competition. After which everyone was surprised as to what Maulana was saying.
Are they talking about releasing Chairman PTI from jail before the elections? Are they sending a message to the establishment that transparent elections are not possible if Chairman PTI is in jail. Anyway, Maulana is walking differently nowadays.
Maulana also has a different line regarding the elections. He is saying that the elections should not be held in January because there will be snowfall in the northern regions in January, so polling and election campaigning there is not possible. The rest of the parties did not give any special acceptance to this position of theirs. Even Tehreek-e-Insaaf did not support him. But Maulana had talked about postponing the elections further.
Earlier, Maulana also took the position that the law and order situation in two provinces of the country, KP and Balochistan, is so bad that election campaign is not possible there due to terrorism. TTP has announced that the election campaign and election rallies will not be conducted for me and my colleagues in this situation.
He has taken a stand that if election campaign in two provinces is not possible, then how elections. But his point also did not get any special support from other political parties of the country. But he is also firm on his point. I have written these two things to make it easier for the readers to understand their new content.
Muhammad Ali Durrani is also talking about reconciliation. Asad Qaiser, Ali Mohammad Khan, Barrister Saif from Chairman PTI are all doing it. Shafaqt Mehmood is also talking about reconciliation. President Arif Alvi is also in reconciliation mode. Therefore, it is not difficult for me to say that there are two groups of people who are standing with Chairman PTI now.
One is those who are involved in the events of May 9 and are on the run or are imprisoned, it is difficult for them to do more politics. But the rest are people who are not involved in the May 9 events, they are not imprisoned. There is no specific case on them. They can do politics. They are talking about reconciliation to do politics. This group is also asking President Arif Alvi for reconciliation.
Now the question is with whom? Is this group of Tehreek-e-Insaf trying to reconcile with other political parties of the country? I can say that they are giving that impression but not trying. He is still trying to reconcile with the establishment. They are also asking President Arif Alvi to talk to the establishment.
They are not asking Arif Alvi to talk to other political parties. If I can understand this in a more simple language, these people are saying that we are not involved in the events of May 9, we should be allowed to do politics. For those involved, we are not their advocates. If so, then this is the consensus minus the Chairman PTI.
Because PTI chairman has been declared guilty by the institutions in the investigation of May 9 cases. The interviews that have come out.
The same case has been brought to the fore in them too that Nomai has been done by complete planning of Chairman PTI. He had been preparing for this for a long time. Therefore, all the responsibility of May 9 falls on Chairman PTI. Rather, now things have come out regarding Bushra Bibi that she was also a supporter of the May 9 events.
