Genuine Concerns of the Youth and new Entrants of PTI

The PTI Chairman has been quite popular among the youth as they see hope in Imran Khan. For Pakistanis badly want change. A change, which could give them a secure, prosperous, and a proud Pakistan.
 

A large number of persons are joining PTI because they believe in what is said by the chairman of PTI. While his party really needs people in its fold to become a strong political force. The chosen slogans of change are beautiful and catch people attention.

Imran Khan had been a cricket star of international fame; people loved his cricket, style etc. After retiring from cricket , he did marvelous jobs of making Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospital in Lahore and lately building the Numl Univeristy in Mianwali. These philanthropic projects of Imran Khan have won people hearts. His bold stance is again an attribute of his personality.

Keeping in view all the positive aspects , yet there have been some observations regarding the recent past of Imran Khan's party.

Some people who have joined PTI , have not clean past, with respect to their political as well as financial record. This factor is a disturbing fact. Because these people have money , resources and group of people with them. Their influence in the local politics of PTI would definitely affect the party's policy.

Though the senior party members and the chairman have been reiterating that such persons would not be given party tickets in elections, but this is not possible.

Even if the PTI does not award tickets to these people directly , these influential people would manage to get tickets for their puppets or for their relatives and eventually the same old persons would be the beneficiaries, like Benami accounts . Their influence would be very much felt in the area where they live.

Thus the party's decision of accepting such people is fundamentally negating its earlier stance of clean peoples party.PTI is tarnishing its image because of its this act of accepting people with whatever political , financial back ground.

Imran Khan in his various interviews admitted that, nobody could defeat them, but they themselves, by choosing wrong persons. And wrong people are very much added in party's fold.

These people have made fortunes illegally, through misusing their political positions and wrong doing, even some of them were patwareez etc. turn coats, land grabbers, opportunists .They were with Musharaf when he was in power, and are always with government of the time.

The youth, who have reposed their confidence in Imran Khan have been betrayed. They are not aware about the character of the politicians who have joined PTI and shifted their loyalties, because most of the PTI lovers are urban, and they hardly have interest in rural political persons and moreover about their character. These youth are even least bothered about the political people of their own constituencies.

Would Imran Khan be able to bring change or tsunami with old wine in the new bottle.
This is very difficult to answer. Nevertheless, the party may win seats to maintain the status quo but not to bring change, which is an aspiration of all Pakistani masses.

Brandon Brice Explaining Capitalism in America

Few years back, America witnessed President Obama, the first African-American taking the oath at the office. The moderately Republican said that he is proud to have born in the American. While the whole world was watching this historical transformation, Americans missed out on what it was called the American Dreams. Brandon Brice, an African-American and a Republican, on the very occasion of Obama's selection goes on to describing what the American Dream actually means to help American people realize what they can really seek from the Federal Government.

Brice says that to be born in the United States, is a boon where people are bestowed with the right to equal opportunities which is the base of capitalism. Immigrants have already explored the fact that they can easily move about freely in the country, set a business without the permission of the government and gain immense fame. This is the true nature of democratic country. Mr. Brandon Brice also points out that USA does not imitate the world. Rather it serves as a model to many countries who replicate the democratic practice of USA in their own countries.

As a true American, Brice wished that the "then" newly elected should sustain with the honor of America and that the country should remain as a paradigm to the whole world by prioritizing the natives and citizens first. Years back, right after Obama won the election, Brandon confronted two men and reported, "Yesterday while walking down Broadway Avenue in New York, I overheard two homeless gentlemen speaking on America, suggesting how it's a shame that the federal government can manage people abroad, but can't assist citizens here in the United States."

However, Brice thought it was very necessary to make people understand that since the country emphasizes on capitalism, the government must educate the citizens about the prospects that capitalism can bring forth and that capitalism is always beneficial rather than being an obstruction. In encourages competition in order to produce the best output, revamp education and research and technologies. Besides, it also offers the citizens the options to choose whether to be unemployed and stay back at home, or to become a workaholic, or to customize the hours of work they want. Therefore, capitalism is the most acknowledged form of the governing systems as compared to the socialism, dictatorship, communism etc.

On the contrary, Karl Marx in his book "The Concept of a Man" explains capitalism as a system of exploitation. This is because capitalism enables business and people to fight on their own and eventually succeed which leads to the violation of the idea of bailout. However, capitalism endows people with the right to be liberal from the federal government irrespective of race, age and educational status. This makes the American nation the best platform with all golden opportunities.

Brandon Brice adds that the capitalism in America has proved to be advantageous in the every aspect of life and people of all income level. Yet another thing that the Americans must realize is that every person might not require owning a business, but must remember the dreams of the American forefathers.

An Astrological View of BJP

Author: Pt Omkarnath
BhartiyaJanta Party- mainly called by its abbreviated name- B J P - is India's major party in opposition to the Indian National Congress. It holds the second largest position in terms representation in Indian Parliament. No doubt Congress ruled most of the time and then BJP was the major opponent of it. BJP also ruled over India thrice, for the first two times it was for short term- 1996 and then in 1998 B J P got majority in NDA getting allied with AIADMK and BijuJanata Dal. Other parties like Samata Party and ShiromaniAkali Dal supported it along with Shiv Sena. But the party crumbled down as AIADMK, withdrew its support leading to fresh elections again.

Again it ruled over till 2004, due to victory of Kargil war but faced unexpected defeat. Now what stars hold for this major opposition in store. Let us have an astro panoramic view of B J P chart depicts strong hold on public by getting active in politics but weak in holding the position. The fourth house depicts the position an the ruler of the fourth lord and the ascendant lord Mercury is with Ketu in the ninth house. Mercury is afflicted thus position as ruler becomes weak for B J P every time. Exchange between third and tenth lords is important for any chart. Third house governs communications and the tenth house the ruler or position of the party. The tenth lord Jupiter is hemmed between malefic - Saturn and Rahu and there Mercury is also with Ketu- thus BJP may face public criticism and even the governing person of this party may face the criticism and challenges to hold on his position.

The period of Venus with antardasha of Moon and Jupiter favored B J P a lot. Venus and Moon shared opposite aspect and the aspect is also not much strong. Therefore, the position of B J P was not much strong until the period of Jupiter arrived. Jupiter, the tenth lord, with exchange with the third lord Sun and also sharing direct square aspect with Venus.

Now, the major period changes to Sun- it is strong in the chart. Sun holds good promise of bringing B J P again making it strong and firm in politics. Whether it could be able to push it for chair in the centrestage? The dasha of Jupiter is following during 2014. It is very much strong in this chart. The period of Sun-Jupiter coming on 27th May 2014 holds much promises for B J P in its pocket. It is possible that it will make B J P the then party with its majority in NDA grabbing the winning position in elections or on the other hand it is making it the strongest party in the opposition. Debilitated Moon in the sixth house indicates weak workmanship or methodology in the party. It needs to be improved. The position of Sun gets weakened in the dashmansha chart makes it weak thereby stability is missing. According to previous dashas experience infers that the coming period of Jupiter in its antardasha is yielding a lot for B J P.

Whatever it is, it is for sure that the coming time is promising time for this party and it can hold this time by bringing changes in their methodology and strategy that makes their in-house weak. And if the improvements are done then it is for sure that India can have a strong political party that can hold it tight and make its future strong.
