Parliamentary Elections are just 12 hours away in Pakistan. Unlike all previous elections i have reached the voting age for these elections. Now i can use my right to vote to select a candidate that i think represents future and progress. I can be part of the democratic process. I can be a miniature vector of change or towards change. But i will not use my right to vote. that means i will not participate in the process of electing representatives who will rule my country and my fate for the next five years, even more if they get their way like this present dictator, Musharraf. In doing so i will loose my right to object to any actions of the 'elected', more so selected representatives of this country. but this can be debated and in most probability i will not pass from any opportunity to pointing out wrong doings and mischief in the character of those who lead my unfortunate country in the future.
I will not vote because i know the outcomes of the elections have been pre determined. The electoral process is so deeply biased and flawed that the dictator will win. He has all his odds against me. Me and my idealistic approach has no chance of winning. Afterall he is a soldier at war with his own people and i a mere civilian. I will also not vote because no candidate in my constituency is worth voting for. I will not vote because i want to say no to a repressing rule by a feudal after feudal in my city. I am servant to no one and i pledge allegiance to no crony. I will not vote because none of the parties contesting the elections have any solid manifesto. The only manifesto that i see is usurping of power. I will not vote because no candidate in my constituency has ever talked about their party manifesto, most probably because, they have no idea what it is. I will not vote because no elections under the present leadership can be fair and free.
I have read Musharraf's statements and i am not disappointed. He is a dictator, a ruthless one. He knows no justice. He knows no good for the country. He has no love for the country. It is somewhat surprising for me that the leader of our armed forces have no love for the country. If Musharraf is given a chance he will choose to get an American or British passport for himself and his children. God knows if his son has not already applied for one. This is just a little surprising for me that the leader of our armed forces be inclined towards living his life in any other country. My case in point his bungalow in Turkey. This only shows the level of disintegration in our armed forces. The level of loyalty that our army officers profess to possess in huge quantities. By this scale one should not be disappointed if 99% of the population in the country actually wants to defect to any other country. After all the leader of the armed forces will be willing to do it again and again and again.
The shameless dictator has declared PML-Q and MQM winners of the elections that are still 12 hours away. He knows the results before the process has even begun. This is a testimony to the amount and scale of pre poll rigging that has been perpetrated by the dictator and PML-Q+MQM.
My country has been kidnapped by the dictator and his cronies. My vote in these circumstances will not alleviate the pathology. I have to work in different ways to cull this evil. All of us have to work together to dismember the setup of the dictator. I am not ready to pay any ransom to the kidnapper but i am ready to fight in my own way. I am ready to protest in my own way. I am ready to bring change in my own peaceful way. I am ready to stand for the truth. I am ready to get my country back because it is my country and it is our country.
