ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Tehreek -e – Insaf (PTI) leadership is playing a dangerous game by using indecent language against the opposition and calling them by derogatory names.
The PTI has probably smelled a sense of disloyalty among its ranks and for the same prime minister , Imran Khan , is issuing warnings of severe consequences and bad mouthing the opposition leaders. Since tabling no confidence motion against him , the prime minister is calling the opposition leaders with bad names in the public rallies. Imran Khan’s calling the opposition leader as ‘Chohay’rats to the opposition leaders is alarming. Not only this, Imran Khan, is trying to drag the armed forces into politics by using different tactics. He is intentionally disclosing the content of his conversation with the army chief in the public and its sole purpose is provocation and creating unavoidable circumstances to invite third force to come in.. In his latest , he told a public rally a few day ago that the army chief told him not to call Maulana Fazalur Rehman as diesel, but he insisted and repeated the same derogatory language time and again . The prime minister actually wants to make every body feel that he hardly respect anyone.
To give yet peak to his ill- conceived plan, the prime minister has called PTI workers to storm at D- Chowk in Islamabad on the eve of voting on no confidence motion tabled by the opposition against him. The sole purpose of the prime minister to call the PTI workers to storm at D- Chowk in Islamabad ahead of voting on no trust is to give a message to his party members of the national assembly that if any one of them betrayed him or his party he /she would face public wrath on the spot .
On one hand, the prime minister is gaining a reputation of a bad guy domestically and on the other as prime minister of Pakistan his behaviour has raised serious question about his selection for the office of the chief executive of the country.
The people at large are in shock over use of indecent language by the prime minister against his political opponents. A quick impact of Imran Khan’s use of indecent language against the political opponent is that his hostile ministers like Fawad Hussain Chaudhary, Shaikh Rashid Ahmad and several others party law makers are using even worse language to prove to the prime minster that they were more loyal to him than any thing else . It seems that nothing matters for prime minister and his minister’s when it comes to them to retain the power .
The prime minister and his ministers are either unaware of the pubic reaction to the prime minister’s bad mouthing or they intentionally want to push the political situation to a stage where it risks some major jolts like winding up of the whole system.
One thing that has come crystal clear from the recent rants of the prime minister that he has unlimited and unbridled lust for power . His all claims of having least desire for power contradict his actions.
