It is not a myth that global political expediencies play a pivotal role in making and unmaking of the governments of such under-developed or developing countries that have significant strategic importance. Even highly developed countries are not immune from this phenomenon. There is substantial evidence to the theory that ‘Gorbachevization’ of the Soviet Union had occurred through back-channel diplomacy between Reagan Administration and the post-Afghan war leadership in Kremlin. And the latest firing by Donal Trump of the FBI Director James Camey substantiates the Anti-Trump allegations that he colluded with Putin to rig the Presidential Elections through cyberspace. Though the cited reason behind the fining of Camey is faulty investigation of Hillary Clinton’s ‘email’ scandal, the bold and highly unpopular step has been taken by Trump to avoid the consequences of Camey’s continuous probe into the possibility that Putin had helped Trump to snatch the Presidency from Hillary Clinton.
The making and unmaking of Pakistan’s governments since long has been decided in Washington. From the fall of ZA Bhutto to the murder of his daughter BB, to the elevation of Zardari to power, and in-between the killing of General Zia ul Haque— every rise and fall here has been decided and dictated by Washington.
Who doesn’t know about the famously notorious dialogue between ZAB and Dr Kissinger?
“If you don’t abandon your Kahuta project Mr Prime Minister, you could be made an example of you know what…”
“It is beyond me Mr Secretary. Pakistan’s sovereignty and freedom are now linked with this program”.
Washington did make Bhutto’s fall an example Washington also made an example of General Zia ul Haque. Even as good a friend of Washington as General Musharraf was not spared, as the ex-President was an avowed defender of Pakistan’s Nuclear status.
In October 1999 Mian Nawaz Sharif had sent a high-powered team to Washington to seek support against General Musharraf.
This mission was a failure largely due to Mian’s own haste to get rid of the General.
Denuclearisation of Pakistan remains the collective goal of the U.S, Israel and India. Hence the rise of Zardari-Sharif duo in Pakistan’s politics. These two constitute the only viable opportunity for Washington to put Pakistan on to the ROAD to denuclearisation.
The Army of Pakistan stands in the way. As does the rise of Imran Khan on Pakistan’s political scene.
Pakistan is on crossroads. General Qamar Javed Bajwa could go down into history as the man who saved Pakistan’s Nuclear status.
He could also earn the rebuke of history for having been outwitted by the country’s Businessman Prime Minister, and thus contributed to Pakistan’s disgraceful surrender to Washington-Tel Aviv-New Dehli nexus.
