A Change is always a Source of Hope

Nawaz Kahn Naji

‘Drowning man clings tightly to even little help’ is a very very famous proverb and our current political system is not different than a drowning man and at such time a change is like a little help for that man.

Recently by-election was held for the vacant seat of Ghizer district when the 35 year winning candidate of PPP ,Pir Karam Ali Shah, was elected as governor of Gilgit-Baltistan.
Pir Karan Ali Shah had been winning the seat for the last three and half decades and Nawaz Khan Naji, the prominent leader of BNF was contesting against him as long as he kept winning.
This time the hope was high for his win as the ‘winner’ was no more in the contest but there were some strong oppositions for him both from PPP and PML-N.

Through unofficial result Nawaz Khan NAji has won the election with large margin. I don’t know much about him if he is a good leader or not or will he keep up his words or will deviate just like other ‘leaders’ but I do know one thing that he is a man of courage because he does believe in the fact that real failure is when one falls and remains there. He has fallen many times and stood up with even greater energy and commitment.
The second positive dimension I see, if he really wins, is that the people will have the change in leadership after a long time and if he fails to upheld his words then they will be satisfied with Edison’s theory of discovering one more way that didn’t work.
So lets welcome a new leadership of BNF and see if they can implement what they have been shouting for the last 5 to 6 decades.The people of GB and in particular Ghizer really need a little help to cling to in the form of change in leadership.
