The restoration of Nato supplies.
It
appears that Pakistan has decided to provide corridors for Nato supplies (weapons,
medicine food, clothing, vehicles) as per conditions discussed between the two
countries.
If Pakistan agrees
to their terms it will be benefit us in terms of coalition support fund which would
be released by America if we grant them access or get transit fee on
the goods transferred to Afghanistan through Pakistan, but politically, Our government will get weak internally because public is against the NATO
supplies, and the major opposition parties are also against it, in particular the
religious elements and PTI (Pakistan tehreek-e-insaaf)
And why is that? Because they don’t want
Pakistan act as a pawn and grant access to America for supplying ammunition and
military hardware for the slaying of innocents in Afghanistan. Secondly the
various political parties and organizations don’t regard America as an ally,
and are fearful of American dictation and influence in the event of total access granted by the the government body of Pakistan and may lose the status of a
free nation, that is why they encourage a fair polling system and get public
opinions in this regard.
Pakistan has been facilitating America since
decades in regards to the political freedom they are allowed in our country,
which ranges from killing gazillions of innocents in drone attacks to the assassinations
of leading political figures (Zulfiqar Ali bhutto) who dared to defy the power and control America freely exercised in our country. This free hand our puppet government has given to America will have a definite downbeat impact on the Pakistani government as the ruling and leading political parties and their allies may start a hostile agitation against them sooner or later which will ultimately result in major civil unrest and political instability.
Our government has decided to grant America free access on the basis of a just and sincere apology on the Salala incident which saw our soldiers being killed by the American forces in air attacks. Which is basically like trading blood money off our young soldiers who got slaughtered protecting our territories and our own families. Can coalition support fund which is basically paper money reimburse us for the lives lost in pursuit of a liberal country that our soldiers always dreamt our country will one day be?

If America
gains access to supply goods from Pakistan’s passageway this will be a lot less
costly than using Russia's pathway to gain access to Afghanistan. And I ask myself.. we are not completely reliant on America for
everything, we at least have some upper hand when it comes to decision making. Why don’t we use their desperation to our
benefit? For stopping the countless drone attacks in South Waziristan.? Where countless people are left shelter less, which causes a huge collateral damage, where
one culprit targeted by American forces takes down hundreds of innocent
victims....?
To stop such relentless coldblooded acts of violence carried out in the name of so called war against terror… instead of begging for aid and money again and again,
what will coalition support fund do for
us if there aren’t any people left to benefit from it? What is aid without
survival?
This is just my political opinion as a Pakistani, However, inspite of the disparity and our awareness of it,
we are powerless and can only hope of a better and more secure future with a fair
and just government that will one day make a difference. For as unfortunate
a nation as ours, swamped with avaricious politicians with insatiable need to exhaust the
country of its resources and possessions and strip it down to nothing, we can
only hope for a lesser evil to come in power.
