Serious incapacities of Jamaat e Islami

Jamaat e Islami (JI)  has always been bent upon dedicating its loftiest services to Army establishment in particular and in return never tended to get recruited its competent and patriotic workers. 
The lesson learnt of 1965, 1971 and Afghan war too is, that Jamaat failed to introduce its workers to the corridors of powers. Ironically in Afghan war too, Jamaat strictly avoided the practice. In contrast other parties like PLMN, PPP, ANP, MQM and even PTI of yesterday fully opted the choice with scrupulous recruitment in administration. The result is these parties retained their position but Jamaat is still acting like a step mother in eyes of establishment. 
So I think that if same generosity is continued, we will soon be disappeared like a voice in the air and a drop in the atmosphere. In this engineered and mechanical era, change is nothing without controlling the reigns of perks and powers!
 Anyone please!

A fascinating work by Paulo Friere 'Pedagogy of the Oppressed'.

I am reading a fascinating work by Paulo Friere 'Pedagogy of the Oppressed'. The basic theme of the book is about reflecting on the reality of a situation and then changing it through a well thought action to create a new desirable situation ie transforming the world through reflection and action. Paulo says a word without action is mere verbosity and action without reflection is unconsidered activism. I am half way through the book and it seems a 164 pages commentary on the verse 10 of Surah al Fatir of Quran:

"Whoever desires honor [through power (change of situation as per Paulo)] - then to Allah belongs all honor (extrapolating honor it becomes realities/situations of Paulo). To Him ascends good speech (reflection/word as Pailo puts it), and righteous work (action according to Paulo) raises it. But they who plot evil deeds will have a severe punishment, and the plotting of those - it will perish." (Reflection without action is meaningless and action without reflection is futile)

Jamat-e-Islami : The missing points

Jamat Islami (JI ),  Being the oldest party of Pakistan . I feel really sorry for its defeat in Karachi and it’s rather surprising for me that PTI has been leading with 50% vote in the constituency despite that PTI has not served Karachi in contrast to JI in the past.

If I look back and see the contribution of JI to Pakistani society in various field of life then I don’t find any match, especially in private sector, in education, health, disaster management and ideological boundaries. But still JI has not converted its struggle into a political win. 
Why is that ?

Recently I came up with a various discussions with non JI’s in Islamabad engaging them in various burning topics and I tried to figure out the orientation of peoples minds toward JI leadership and polices.  I realized that what people think about JI and why they vote for other parties rather than JI.

People think that .......

1. JI leadership is not attractive that much to be accepted wholeheartedly .Because they don’t think out of the box.
2. They don’t speak in common language of the public, But they have a self-centered approach to problems.
3. Mostly of its leader are out dated and are away from the recent changes and trends that is happening in our society.
4. They are not agile and dynamic and remain stick to its outdated principals which need a lot of improvement.

In short, they think that they are just like Muallas.

May be all the above points may not be valid but this is what I  summarised .

In the past JI was not like this, in the leadership of Syed Maudodi (RA).  In that time JI was considered a very vibrant and organized party by properly utilization the worker talent and capabilities.

Now,  I think that volume wise JI workers have been increased but this doesn’t turned JI into a wining position on the political front. So it means that JI is missing something …….!

The missing point is this , that JI should have to focus on recent trends which is the best way to change the opinion of public and what is being practiced by PTI and its outcome is very positive.

Now every one of us has realized that Pakistan media is a change agent and affecting mind frequently.  The space given to JI is proportionally very less and un-effective.  

If JI focus on this area .So that to put a great impact on Pakistani society then they have to establish a robust media team which should be  research oriented. Their task should be to produce multimedia content with the help of professionals.

Moreover they need to invest in national media to be awarded with proper, frequent and positive coverage.  

I hope in next election JI can attract public opinion toward their self.

Pakistan Media is Biased in NA 246 karachi Election Coverage

Talat Hussain (Journalist ) has raised a question in his program that the media coverage is totally unbalanced  especially in NA 246 Karachi.

The Electronic channels forget  that , not only PTI and MQM is in the battle field  but Jamat Islami (JI ) has also have strong vote bank and worker activism in the constituency.
The media seems that it sidling one party while promoting another party and this behaviour can be term as rigging before election through media.

Media reports should be based on facts and figure , not by keeping its own political agenda.
He said that its is true that media can change the mind of people in election campaign by portraying a party activities from the front and recently media give coverage only to PTI and MQM while a very negligible coverage is given to JI.
This is a question mark on media ?????
