A Critical Analysis of UNGA’19 speech by PM Imran Khan
By: Rameez Ali Jerov
Imran Khan a charismatic leader of Pakistan, his appearance on the right
time makes this country very fortunate. History tells us Pakistan remain
insignificant state in more than last 3 decades. Her diplomacy was tortured by
several leaders, resources have being exploited, losing dignity and the level
of insecurity is we can scrutinize it by knowing our border’s vulnerability
through which terrorists penetrated into the country for decades. Uninformed, Unmanned
Aerial Vehicle (UAVs) bombardments over helpless citizens made this
country not less than a hell. Sometimes west used the land as a buffer zone
even tried to install ill-fated permanent military base but remain mystery why
it failed. On the other hand extorted economy of country could not make the
world satisfied which unconditionally dragged country into the trap of
International Monetary Fund (IMF); so Pakistan has found itself on
one of Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF’s) list of not-so-good guys. These
several ghastly actions of Pakistan by the so-called leaders of her own and
some of the other countries imprinted the image of country as a safe haven for
terrorists, a tortured and war mongering state in the minds of people around
the globe.
The main four problems which were discussed on the floor of UNGA are
international. The curse of Climate Change, Money Laundering, Islamophibia and
Kashmir issue which is mainly the human-rights issue and internationally
debatable were raised by leader.
Changing global patterns of
weather and uneven changes in climate is disastrous. His identification over
the massacre of 10 dead trees by Indian jet bombing makes him as an
environmentalist. The “tree tsunami” is basically the policy of ‘Green
Pakistan’ under his government.
North-South Gap is because of the money laundering from poor countries
into the richer ones. They actually exploiting the resources there, and deprive
local population to get benefited from it. As we are seeing the ‘White man’s
burden’ phenomenon is demonstrating in the African continent.
The relation of idea of terrorism with Islam is another vital issue. No
one ever abruptly defend the true teachings of Islam which were been
interpreted in very wrong direction that imprinted in the mind of people of the
globe. ‘Islamophibia’ is proclaimed by
west they took terrorism as Islamic-terrorism apparently; though terrorism is
the phenomenon of political will of any group regardless of any religion,
nation or any group. The evident 9/11 wasn’t remaining good outputs upon the
whole Muslim community in which terrorism was regarded as an Islamic-terrorism.
Appeasement to Provocation, that
happened drastically amid of 20th century before World War II broke.
The violation of self-determination and human-rights
happening in Kashmir will have consequences far beyond its limits. This can promulgate a conventional war where
most of the nation-states and civilizations will suffer. As Russian president
Vladimir Putin feared of; “World War III will be the end of civilizations”.
Analysis National:
If government of Pakistan is likely to defend
the rights of disputed Jammu and Kashmir then Pakistan must look deep into the denial
of basic civil liberties and the issues of missing persons within the state
like in Baluchistan and Gilgit-Baltistan. If the revocation of article 370 and
35A has been made in J&K by Indian administration then Pakistan must think
about the violation of State Subject Rule (SSR) in the jurisdiction of its
unconstitutional parts. If PM is
portraying the Islamophibia as an issue in the world and there are other humane
preaching of Islam, then there must not be epic contradictions between words
and deeds of true teachings of Islam. You must respect rights, you must respect
humanity and you must restore dignity of the citizens in a civilized way.
Analysis
International:
Hundred years back from now in 1915, Sigmund Freud
warns. “He may be of a masterful nature, absolutely egotistic, self-confident,
and sovereign.” People will love such a leader all the same — so long as the
group continues to cherish the ideal that the leader represents, and so long as
the leader can continue to credibly uphold it. World is filled with the leaders
like Donald Trump, Imran Khan, Narindra Modi, Xi Jingpin, Vladimir Putin, Kim
Jong Un and so on as it depicts the definition of a leader by Freud. Their
blunt personality of each leader is building the chaos and brinksmanship.
This period is replicating the E.H. Carr’s ‘twenty years crisis’ where
the nations are in the mount to seek exigencies of survival and competition and
in contrast the liberal world order (UN) proceed to demonstrate rational, well
conceived ideas of peace and cooperation among states undermining the realities
of chaos and insecurity. The block
shifting and formation was undergone, it’s floating now in order to maintain
power. As Samuel P. Huntington bonded the imaginary relations between
Sino-Islamic (Chinese-Islamic) friendly relations, the neutrality of Slavic
(Russian) and the rivalry of Islam-West is now happening. Chinese warm relations with ASEAN states will
help to maintain the status of Pakistan in Southeast Asian region. We can see
the faithful relations with Malaysia which is a vital member state of ASEAN
nations. More ahead Indonesia the biggest Muslim country in terms of population
will have relations with Pakistan. Israel’s new expected premier can have
likely to pursue relations based on historic diplomacy and foreign policy, most
probably with India and the USA. Russian
growing needs of accessing towards the warm waters can compel her to build new
relations with Pakistan to bind new economic block as Russian-China-Pakistan
axis after Russia formally joins CPEC. Countries will rejoice new geopolitical
dynamics for the sake of survival and competition, As Winston Churchill said “Politics
is not a game but it’s a serious business”.
