‘Hidden Hands’ Trying to Reverse Democratic Process: Ahsan

Islamabad (October 30, 2017): Interior Minister Ahsab Iqbal on Monday said that some hidden hands and inertia of history were trying to drift the democratic process into [the] same old design.

In a post on his Facebook wall, the Minister shared a timeline of the country’s in-turn stints with a democratic and martial law governments. He said Pakistan’s history has oscillated between decades of democracy and martial laws following a pattern.

Iqbal, who also heads the planning and development ministry, wondered if “we will be able to break the cycle that has kept Pakistan shackled in chequered political ping pong to undermine our development process or follow the dictate of the past?”

He hoped that, God willing, the cycle will be broken this time as everyone is committed to preserving the continuity of the democratic process, except “a troika of failed politicians, disgruntled media anchors, and a few retired servicemen”.

“We can’t compromise on our future and the tide of Rising Pakistan!!!” he concluded.
The minister had said recently that a particular lobby was hell-bent on constructing a narrative to provoke unconstitutional acts in the country “so that they get their jobs back”. Speaking to the media on Saturday, Iqbal had said there is a “troika of failed politicians, retired generals, and TV talk show hosts” which makes claims everyday about political and economic stability in the country on TV.
