Allegations About Pakistan’s Political Establishment and Its Media Connections

There’s been a lot of chatter lately about the quality of characters stepping into the political arena and media representation in Pakistan. A tweet by Hammad Azhar caught my eye, where he claims, “The Establishment of Pakistan has to be credited for recruiting dumbest & most comical characters in politics & legacy media as its puppets & spokespersons. By doing so they have exposed to the entire world not just their idiotic touts but also Establishment’s own shallowness.” This tweet, while it might seem like a bold statement, raises some interesting points about the current political climate.

When we talk about the “Establishment,” we’re often referring to a network of influential figures that steer political narratives and decisions from behind the scenes. Azhar’s remarks suggest that rather than fostering competent leaders, this system has relied on individuals who may not be the sharpest tools in the shed. It’s a provocative claim that resonates with many who feel disillusioned by the ongoing political drama and media coverage.

Many people are fed up with what they perceive as a circus act in politics, where the focus is less about substantial governance and more about entertaining the masses. The notion that these figures are merely puppets raises questions about accountability and the genuine representation of the people’s voice. Are we seeing leaders who truly reflect the populace’s desires, or are they merely a façade for deeper, unexamined agendas?

In this landscape, the role of media cannot be overstated. With legacy media often seen as complicit in this arrangement, it leads to a concerning realization: the narratives being pushed may lack depth and authenticity. As Azhar’s tweet points out, this situation doesn’t just highlight the characters involved but also reveals a troubling dynamic within the establishment itself.
