Will 2017 become an election year in Pakistan?

January 16, 2017

Federal government announced the first phase of census to be started in March 2017.  Depending upon the preliminary results, besides the relocation of NFC award and provincial quota, number of seats in national assembly may be the pivotal for the sitting government whether to call the election early or delay them. In either case, it seems to be highly unlikely to have elections in first half of 2018.

Here comes two political scenarios:

1. If proportion of national assembly seats is shifting in favour of PML-N, then they will likely to delay the election until new constituencies are formed through proper channel. It will definitely take some time enough to surpass first half of 2018.
2. It it is not turned out to be in the favour of sitting government then in the wake of Panamagate verdict, we can expect an early call of election, somewhere in August/ September 2017.
3. Another point is that a major shift is expected not only in Sind where balance of urban and rural population is likely to shift in favour of urban one, but also in KPK, where a sizeable population has migrated to Karachi.

Therefore, I am giving more weightage to census related political mechanics over the rest of indicators. 

January 23, 2017

So Census is due to start in Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur and Ghotki from March 15, and initial results will be ready before Ramazan this year. So for me,  June 2017, is important.
If a feeler is floated from policy makers regarding Karachi as federally administered area then I will not be surprised at all.

How to negotiate!

There is no harm in commenting on any situation, drawing an inference, considering yourself wiser than the rest. But when you try to impose your derived result - which is the combination of your wishes and incomplete data at your hand - then this is something which should be taken seriously.
You may have freedom of speech and expressing your views, but when it conflicts with others then you should negotiate and try to convince the others, otherwise you are left with two options. First, convince others politely, Second get convinced gently by the modified version of your thinking. This modification may range from few angles to 180 degree.
Worst condition is that when you fall in a discussion which lacks politeness and gentlemen attitude; it catches fire when it touches the boundaries of stubbornness. If you do so, then its the self litmus test for the type of your personality.
Sticking to what you think right is nice thing, but only when you have right data and good advise. But when others get annoyed then it sometimes better not to further discuss and impose your idea, rather make an agreement on disagreement.

صحیح بخاری حدیث 48

مسدد،اسمعیل بن ابراہیم، ابوحیان التیمی، ابوزرعہ، ابوہریرہ رضی ﷲ تعالیٰ عنہ کہتے ہیں کہ ایک دن نبی صلی ﷲ علیہ وآلہ وسلم لوگوں کے سامنے بیٹھے ہوئے تھے، یکایک آپ صلی ﷲ علیہ وآلہ وسلم کے سامنے ایک شخص آیا اور اس نے (آپ صلی ﷲ علیہ وآلہ وسلم سے) پوچھا کہ ایمان کیا چیز ہے؟ آپ صلی ﷲ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ ایمان یہ ہے کہ تم ﷲ پر اور اسکے فرشتوں پر اور (آخرت میں) ﷲ کے ملنے پر اور ﷲ کے پیغمبروں پر ایمان لاؤ اور قیامت کا یقین کرو، (پھر) اس شخص نے کہا کہ اسلام کیا چیز ہے؟ آپ صلی ﷲ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ اسلام یہ ہے کہ تم ﷲ کی عبادت کرو اور اس کے ساتھ شرک نہ کرو اور نماز پڑھو اور زکوۃ مفروضہ ادا کیا کرو اور رمضان کے روزے رکھو، اس شخص نے کہا کہ احسان کیا چیز ہے؟ آپ نے فرمایا احسان یہ ہے کہ تم ﷲ کی عبادت (اس خشوع اور خلوص سے) کرو کہ گویا تم اسے دیکھ رہے ہو اور اگر (یہ حالت) نہ (حاصل ہو) کہ تم اس کو دیکھتے ہو تو خیال رہے کہ وہ تمہیں دیکھتا ہے (پھر) اس شخص نے کہا کہ قیامت کب ہوگی؟ آپ صلی ﷲ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ جس سے یہ بات پوچھی جارہی ہے (وہ خود) سائل سے زیادہ (اس کو) نہیں جانتا (بلکہ ناواقفی میں دونوں برابر ہیں) اور میں تم کو اس کی علامتیں بتائے دیتا ہوں، جب لونڈی اپنے سردار کو جنے اور جب سیاہ اونٹوں کو چرانے والے عمارتوں میں رہنے لگیں (تو سمجھ لینا کہ قیامت قریب ہے اور قیامت کا علم تو) ان پانچ چیزوں میں ہے کہ جن کو خدا کے سوا کوئی نہیں جانتا، پھر نبی صلی ﷲ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے (اِنَّ اللہَ عِندَہُ عِلمُ السَّاعَۃ) پوری آیت تلاوت فرمائی، اس کے بعد وہ شخص چلا تو آپ صلی ﷲ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے (صحابہ سے) فرمایا کہ اس کو میرے پاس واپس لاؤ (چناچہ) لوگ اس کو واپس لانے کو گئے، مگر وہاں کسی کو نہ دیکھا تو آپ صلی ﷲ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے فرمایا، یہ جبرئیل تھے، لوگوں کو ان کے دین کی تعلیم سکھانے آئے تھے، ابوعبد ﷲ کہتے ہیں کہ نبی صلی ﷲ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے ان سب باتوں کو ایمان کا جزو قرار دیا ہے-

Narrated Abu Huraira: 

  One day while the Prophet was sitting in the company of some people, (The 

  angel) Gabriel came and asked, "What is faith?" Allah's Apostle replied, 

  'Faith is to believe in Allah, His angels, (the) meeting with Him, His 

  Apostles, and to believe in Resurrection." Then he further asked, "What is 

  Islam?" Allah's Apostle replied, "To worship Allah Alone and none else, to 

  offer prayers perfectly to pay the compulsory charity (Zakat) and to observe 

  fasts during the month of Ramadan." Then he further asked, "What is Ihsan 

  (perfection)?" Allah's Apostle replied, "To worship Allah as if you see Him, 

  and if you cannot achieve this state of devotion then you must consider that 

  He is looking at you." Then he further asked, "When will the Hour be 

  established?" Allah's Apostle replied, "The answerer has no better knowledge 

  than the questioner. But I will inform you about its portents. 

  1. When a slave (lady) gives birth to her master. 

  2. When the shepherds of black camels start boasting and competing with others 

  in the construction of higher buildings. And the Hour is one of five things 

  which nobody knows except Allah. 

  The Prophet then recited: "Verily, with Allah (Alone) is the knowledge of the 

  Hour--." (31. 34) Then that man (Gabriel) left and the Prophet asked his 

  companions to call him back, but they could not see him. Then the Prophet 

  said, "That was Gabriel who came to teach the people their religion." Abu 

  'Abdullah said: He (the Prophet) considered all that as a part of faith.
