A NEW NARRATIVE FOR JIHAD AND CALIPHATE

A HISTORICAL ARGUMENT 

Throughout history, Islam as a state has had two political rises and falls. After the second fall in 1918, when the Turkish Empire was defeated, a Caliphate movement began and failed within 50 years, and their disappointed followers resorted to the Muslim Militant Movement (MMM). Also named Fundamentalist.

In 1979, Russia invaded Afghanistan and in response, the United States establishment used the military dictator Zia-ul-Haq and MMM (Jihadis) to defeat Russia in 1988. The United States establishment and the visionless corrupt military generals of Pakistan did not fulfill their responsibility to provide a draft constitution to stabilize Afghanistan & Pakistan politically through the collective wisdom of people by real referendum. Secondly, rehabilitate around 20,000 Jihadis and provide them jobs in the Pakistani Army Construction Division as a protective safety net. If the United States establishment and the Pakistani army generals had fulfilled this responsibility, there would be no Al-Qaida, Taliban, 9/11, and the world could have avoided many wars in the last 25 years.

Pakistan Army Generals are abusing the 1973 Constitution because of its Major fault lines in a parliamentary system. We need to facilitate efforts towards the presidential system through a constitutional amendment and referendum, this will eliminate the interference of Military Generals in politics. No other way Military Generals interference can be stopped in Pakistani politics.

IMPORTANCE OF U.N. SECURITY COUNCIL MEMBERSHIP, A LOGICAL ARGUMENT

Out of the 8 billion world population, 1.5 Billion are Muslim and still no Muslim nation has qualified for permanent membership in the U.N. Security Council with veto power. With no voice in the U.N. Security Council, the problems and disputes of these Muslim nations remain unsolved, leading to wars, extremism, terrorism, etc.

Out of 60 Muslim nations, Pakistan is the only one capable of qualifying for this permanent membership with veto power. Should Pakistan follow the road map described in this Vision for Pakistan, they will be able to achieve membership within the next eleven years. Through Pakistan’s membership, peace can be achieved.

In order to achieve a position in the Security Council, Pakistan must move towards economic growth within eleven years. As shown in the previous diagram, the departments of energy, water, infrastructure, industry, agriculture, housing, education, and health should undergo serious planning for Pakistan’s growth. For each department, a team of experts will construct a plan for vast economic growth for the next 100 years.

CRITERIA FOR U.N. SECURITY COUNCIL QUALIFICATION

There are six qualities necessary for a nation to have permanent membership in the UN Security Council with veto power.

POLITICAL POWER

ECONOMIC POWER

SOCIAL POWER

MILITARY POWER

NUCLEAR POWER

MISSILE POWER

Pakistan has achieved three of the qualities listed above (military, nuclear, and missile). If Pakistan reforms its Constitution, then it will be a political power. As a result, in ten years Pakistan will also be an economic and social power. Hence, Pakistan can qualify for permanent UN Security Council membership with veto power.

CONSTITUTIONAL NATIONALISM 

PAKISTAN’S EXISTENCE AS A STATE 

Note: Answers to frequently asked questions.

  1. Currently, there are about 200 nation states in the world. Countries that date back thousands of years like Japan, China, Korea, India and Iran have a strong foundation of territorial nationalism. Most of the 50 European countries were formed on the basis of linguistic nationalism. Few states such as the United States and the first Islamic State of Madina were formed on the basis of constitutional nationalism. Pakistan, being only 65 years old, is too young to have any territorial nationalism and since the country consists of five major languages, linguistic nationalism is impossible. The only other logical choice for Pakistan’s existence as a state is constitutional nationalism.
  2. Unfortunately, the formation of Pakistan on August 14, 1947 came without a constitution.  As a result, on December 16, 1971, Pakistan was divided into two states, Pakistan and Bangladesh. (*Please note that the Constitutions of 1956 and 1962 were not approved through referendum by the people of Pakistan and therefore they have no legitimacy).
  3. The 1973 Constitution (social contract) does not provide political justice to the five regions of Pakistan (Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Kashmir). This lack of political justice has made the constitution structurally defective and unable to hold itself during the military coups of 1977, 1999, 2007 and current hybrid system.
  4. The political instability of Pakistan is a result of the absence of a constitution (1947-1973) and now the structurally defective constitution (1973-present). In order to move towards political justice and bring unity in Pakistan, the need for constitutional reforms must be passed by two-third majority votes in parliament and referendum.
  5. The American, French and Bolshevik Revolutions were all practical manifestations of the Islamic Revolution. They transformed the political, social and economic systems in those regions. Logically, humanity does not need anymore revolutions. To achieve change, nation-states can only reform their constitution.

POLITICAL JUSTICE

 

Classification of Justice?

POLITICAL

National and International

ECONOMIC

National and International

SOCIAL

National and International

6 Types of Justice:-

  1. National Political Justice (NPJ)
  2. National Economic Justice (NEJ)
  3. National Social Justice (NSJ)
  4. Internation Political Justice (IPJ)
  5. International Economic Justice (IEJ)
  6. International Social Justice (ISJ)

Note: Constitutional reforms are National Political Justice for Pakistan. A country without NPJ cannot achieve the other five types of justice.

WHAT IS POLITICAL JUSTICE?

NPJ is the right of the people to fairly and independently elect thier government. Therefore, if the people of a country are electing their executive and legislative branches separately by a direct vote with over 50% majority, the country has 100% national political justice.

NATIONAL POLITICAL JUSTICE. (NPJ)

THE 1973 CONSTITUTION HAS NO POLITICAL JUSTICE

 

  1. Developed nations are in fact “developed” because their constitutions are compatible with the common sense and collective wisdom of their citizens. In an undeveloped nation such as Pakistan this is not the case.
  2. The 1973 Constitution was not approved by a constitutional assembly and also not by referendum.
  3. The 1973 Constitution was drafted by keeping in mind that Pakistan is one nation. In fact, there are five nations in Pakistan (Sindhi, Punjabi, Balochi, Pukhtun and Kashmiri). This truth is recognized that the 1973 Constitution was not a fair social contract between the five nations in Pakistan.
  4. The people of Pakistan do not have the right to directly elect their executive president, governor and district mayor.
  5. The people of Pakistan do not have the right to directly elect their senators.
  6. The senators, MNA and MPA are not elected by a 51% majority vote.
  7. The special seats of Parliament (about 20%) are completely unjust to the system.
  8. Independent members of Parliament have sold their loyalties against the will of their voters.​
  9. The senate does not possess any power in the 1973 constitution, making the union between provinces weaker.
