Of Things to come..The Waheeda Shah slap and the 1977 Rigged Polls. Things to come...

AS My friend Detective Monk would say,here is what happened:

I don't know whether to call it Flash back 1977 or name the article after H.G Wells movie(yes he wrote and supervised a movie in 1939) 'Of things to come" I chose the later.

Some of the first hand accounts I would like to quote(all can be verified by looking into the findings of dual bench headed by Justice Durrab Patel).

Elections were announced in 1977, Bhutto remained Prime Minister, all his ministers remained ministers with Hooter installed Mercedez Benz. Federal Minister Hafeez Ullah Cheema had a Railway Saloon Car parked on the Railway station to facilitate him(Yes Sir a whole Saloon Car).

 Sargodha. Electionday 1977. A few of the PPP goons tried to enter the polling booth, the angry villagers thrashed them and told them to bugger off.




Same thing happened in Another village when PPP goons were thrashed and ask to bugger off. A Provincial Minister approached the polling booth with his ARMED Gunmen (one of them now MPA)  on his car with "Flying Flag.To cut a long story short his motives were questioned,and his armed guards who entered the polling booth were thrashed badly. VERY badly.

  Minister Waheed Ullah Cheema all geared up for rigging was informed through wireless who decided to teach the citizens a lesson. 

Election or War

Minister Hafeez Ullah Cheema entered the polling booth and slapped the Head Master(Just because he could) who was the presiding officer twice and moved on to the Lambardar who slapped him back and his supporters started to thrash Minister Hafeez Ullah Cheema. His official guards panicked and fired shots in the air and the Patriots decided to retreat to the fields outside(booth captured, Jiyee Bhutto).

Then he went to another village with FSF leading the way sub machine guns mounted on the veichles Sirens yelling and capured the polling booth. Repeated a practice which would later cost him dearly.. Stamped the already casted votes twice to make them invalid and filled the box with all the votes he could.

A Practice PPP was unable to repeat on the provincial elections a day later due to public response and threat of violence(Army was called for atleast ONE village, I must add here the Army didn't participate in the rigging, came, observed. Concluded there is no threat from the patriots and left.

 

Day in Court 

Then the tide started to turn and in the judicial Commission Justice Durrab Patel instead of hiding behind by laws asked the headmaster! DID THIS MAN SLAP YOU! Headmaster who was the presiding officer in a village  refused to answer and got so scared he even leaked in his pants!
Justice Patel looked at Federal Minister Hafeez Ullah Cheema and said Look! How people are afraid of ur Muzalim! And told headmaster to wait before he blasted Waheen Ullah on Rigging charges

He ordered the polling boxes opened in front of everyone,the oversmart chaps from the FSF had filled the polling box alright,but in hurry they forgot to fold the paper as they had simply opened to box. Justice Patel Called Minister Hafeez Ullah Cheema with the movement of his finger and told him to pick a vote. Then he ordered the box be closed. Then he asked Mr.Cheema to put the vote inside the ballet box without folding it! Cheema got panicky and reporters put the picture where he was trying to put the vote inside the box in next day's headlines(it was a commission reporters were allowed).

He then looked at the headmaster sb and said Don't be Afraid of this man!! He is Finished!

Then there was the case of  another village where FSF had stamped the vote twice to make it invalid. I don't know the exact figure but it was something like 1700 votes from the total registered were casted,100% turnout (on paper) and 1300 votes were stamped twice. Justice Patel asked Hafeez Ullah, "Yeh Jahiloon ka pura gaoon hey kia" he was told by the lawyer that a school was established there in the 1920s and so&so doctors engineers professors etc are from this village. 
Finger print experts were called who confirmed the existence of massive rigging.

The judge got so amused he asked the lawyer of the PPP minister to request no further boxes are opened as his client is already in deep trouble and court has enough material without going any further.

Then there was the Curious case of Yahya Bakhtiar(Father of Zeba Bakhtiaar the Actress). Indeed he was a great man,Marvels should be erected in his honor. He decided to bypass the polling process altogether ordered polling boxes at his place, filled them and announced the results!! Yeeey! Celebrations!

FSF went from booth to booth casting votes harrassing people thrashing them where ever they want!


General Kayani raha to all of us should be prepared.Jamhooriya and Jamhooriyand pasand lol


Here is what shackles of Chains make you do:




Slapped APO defends Waheeda Shah at press conference

Aj na Bhutto Raha na uskay maanna waley sathi, both Iftikhar Kahloon and Hafeez Ullah Cheema are dead! So is Bhutto. Rehna to Siraf Naam Allah kee hee hey


But there is sure lesson to be learn!
