Is PTI a movement or an ideology?
Listen to article To determine why PTI is not finding success it is important for the PTI to find an honest answer to the above dilemma. It calls itself a 'movement' but acts as a political party like any other. That remains the first dichotomy in how it is structured and how it thinks. A movement can base itself on ideology and at an opportune moment clad itself in the garb of a political entity to succeed if power shall define success. Some political entities will originate as political entities clothed in traditional electoral process and consequences. China's Mao Tse Tung was an ideologue who began a movement to a defined political end. Over a couple of years, he led the movement to victory and replacement of an order that he and his followers fundamentally disagreed with. It seems the PTI fast forwarded to power without internalising the purpose first. Pakistani politics is less of ideology and more of power grab. That much is clear and hence the various mutations of how politics is shaped in this country and what external factors determine how it will play itself out in governance and policy formulation. It is equally true that political parties hardly enthuse or embrace a political philosophy and act more like a tribe which associates with each other for the common purpose of accessing power to deliver tribal or personal interests. Hence there is larger importance and value of enablement by external entities than the political process to find power. The arbiters in the process assume disproportionate weight in an exercise which in essence should reflect a level of acceptance with the people, in whose name power is exercised. But then that is too much of principle and adherence to rules and laws enshrined in the Constitution which are mostly set aside in a political culture based on expedience than purpose. A perfect example of how we might judge a political journey exhibits itself in the neighbouring country. India has three main streams of politics reflected in its three major parties at the national level. Congress, the matriarch of Indian politics carries within it the dynamics of dynasty, and the politics it has practiced through decades. Gandhi may have begun a movement which got converted into a political thought over time to which many Indians gravitated. From Gandhi to Nehru, it may have seemed a generational passing-on of the baton but Nehru's long stint at power after independence and a few hits and misses after it settled in the Nehru family to carry the torch forward. Somewhere along the way a political purpose was defaced by a singular objective of gaining and holding on to power to which all other members of Congress Party submitted and subscribed. Today the party brazenly reflects the attributes of a political tribe where authority resides in the leadership belonging to the Gandhi family to which all others defer. It is equally brazenly claimed across South Asia that the mental make-up of the populace is more inclined to seeking dynastic exclusivity in their political leadership - euphemism for convenience of relevance and acceptability. And then there is the BJP enveloping RSS ideational philosophy based on Hindu exclusivism which then has been used to define nationalist identity through a political process. It has a leadership cadre and its own internal process of enjoining leadership upon whoever they choose to assign the responsibility. Narendra Modi was a tea-seller who rose in the ranks of the RSS to move laterally into first the chief minister-ship of Gujarat and then the prime minister-ship of India. Those invested with the BJP/RSS philosophy generationally transfer the values and beliefs constituting ideology from one to the next. What is left for the world to see for academic reasons is whether governance of a diverse political entity as India has a reverse effect on ideology, or if ideology mutates to deal with the challenges of governance in a diversly constituted polity. Most right-wing parties generally exhibit strict adhesion and submission to ideology. Adolf Hitler perhaps is the most eminent example of an ideologue who mutated to a political system that wreaked havoc in pursuit of an ideology of exclusivism. The third example is that of the Aam Admi Party led by Arvind Kejriwal. The roots of the party lain in an anti-corruption civil society movement of Anna Hazare. A movement gave birth to a political entity around principles of clean governance and eliminating graft from within the system. In the presence of the two major parties, the Congress and the BJP, it could not establish an electoral impact on a nation-wide scale but was the first party to form outside the state system with nation-wide aspirations. It was successful in winning repeated elections in Delhi which has traditionally been a Congress haunt. Allegations against Kejriwal and weak performance in the 2024 elections have lowered the stock of the party and its political prospects. A party formed on high ideology of clean and effective governance has been adversely impacted by challenges of contemporary governance. Ideology stood forsaken for political expedience — the reverse of what it was meant to be. The party is another example of insufficient time to imbibe and internalise the principles to form an abiding creed of sufficient believers. Without the usual cycle of commitment to the intended belief system or embedding its purpose in its structures and processes it turned into a routine political entity, losing both its base and its popularity. Although the PTI had a longer ingestion period, it could not establish a well-founded purpose either in slogan or in ideational expression. It had a weak intellectual definition. In comparison Zulfikar Ali Bhutto did a stellar job in giving a populist slogan as well as in intellectual interpretation of its purpose. In politics all parties descend below their aspirational standards and normalise over time but the PPP in Pakistan was lucky to continue evolving itself in ideational measures to sustain its appeal and romance. The PMLN tried to mimic the process for its own sustenance but succumbed rather quickly to the expedience of power. It has thus become a typical power-centred political entity. The PTI continues to struggle to define itself. It can neither easily find power nor can it underpin its intellectual purpose. Fighting the establishment — read military — cannot fill in for either ideology or an intellectual underpinning. ZAB had martial law to contend against which gave him relevance and longevity. Nawaz Sharif was a product of martial law. Imran Khan's politics is to offer himself as an alternate to either. That is neither power-based electoral politics nor an ideational pursuit especially if you are at loggerheads with the same principles. If PTI appears confused and lost, there is good reason to it.

Pakistan risks wasting ‘golden opportunity' in US market: FPCCI
Despite securing the lowest tariff rates on exports to the United States in the region, Pakistan risks losing this competitive edge due to high energy costs and production inefficiencies, warned Atif Ikram Sheikh, President of the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI). The United States has lowered its reciprocal tariff rate on Pakistani goods to 19%, compared to the 20–25% imposed on regional competitors such as Bangladesh, Vietnam, and Sri Lanka. Meanwhile, archrival India faced a 50% tariff after US President Donald Trump issued an executive order imposing an additional 25% tariff on goods from India on Wednesday, adding to the 25% tariffs already announced. 'The US has imposed the lowest tariff in the region on Pakistani products,' said Atif Ikram Sheikh, urging authorities to 'take full advantage' of this situation, read a statement on Thursday. However, higher production costs in Pakistan, as compared to other countries in the region, can neutralise this benefit, he warned. 'Taxes, high electricity rates and gas prices for the industry are a major obstacle to taking advantage of low tariffs,' said Sheikh, urging the government to take immediate action to resolve these issues and reduce energy prices for the industrial sector. 'A significant increase in exports, especially textiles, to the US is possible amid a reduction in production costs,' he said. The US administration struck a deal with Pakistan, in which Washington would work with Islamabad to develop the South Asian nation's oil reserves. 'We have just concluded a Deal with the Country of Pakistan, whereby Pakistan and the United States will work together on developing their massive Oil Reserves,' Trump wrote on social media. Islamabad described the deal as a marker of a broader partnership with Washington. Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb, who led the final round of talks, said there was a larger economic and strategic agreement. The US is Pakistan's biggest trade partner. 'This golden opportunity should be taken advantage of,' said President FPCCI. He said that investment in the export sector is essential, saying that Pakistan must create a conducive environment for FDI. 'Low tariffs, single-digit interest rates, sustainable policies and long-term planning are the solution to the problems,' he said.

Auto sector woes: What's good for Australia may not be good for Pakistan
As a lingering post-colonial inferiority complex continues to shape our national thinking, many still look to the West as a shining example – a blueprint for modernity. But what works for their today may not be what Pakistan needs for its tomorrow. As our policy-makers inch closer to opening used car imports and scaling back support for the local industry, decisions that could trigger rapid deindustrialisation and the quiet, seemingly permanent closure of Pakistan's automotive sector, they would do well to pause. On the surface, it may appear that 'even Australia did it.' But scratch deeper, and the differences couldn't be starker. In 2010, Australia had an 80-year-old automobile industry that was producing a around 239,443 vehicles annually to fulfil local demand. Pakistan's auto policy: fueling imports, killing industry But something else happened that year too. The Australian government liberalised the sector by reducing tariffs to just 5%, expecting global efficiency and higher exports. The result: swift deindustrialisation. Multinational brands found it cheaper to shut local operations and import from their foreign plants. By 2017 all local plants had closed. Yet interestingly, global brands like Toyota continued to dominate. It was number one in 2017, and still the market leader in 2024. And the market size? Still hovering around 1.2 million vehicles, 7 years later. The difference? A decade ago, those cars were built by Australians, using locally made components made with cutting-edge technology. Today, they're all imported. If a mature, exporting industry couldn't survive liberalisation, what hope does a nascent Pakistani industry have? But Australia liberalised its auto sector from a position of strength. It was a post-industrial, high-income economy characterised by high-value exports, strong services and mining sectors, and clear alternatives to cushion the shock. Pakistan, by contrast, is still in the early stages of industrial maturity. The direction we're being nudged toward seems driven by abstract ideas of 'efficiency' and 'resource reallocation.' In theory, this sounds great. In practice, it's dangerously vague. Where exactly are these so-called 'more efficient' destinations for capital? Has anyone mapped them? Is the investment already sunk into the automotive sector ready to be reallocated? Have the 2.5 million people directly or indirectly employed in the ecosystem been offered meaningful alternatives? Or are policymakers once again making decisions in haste, without regard for the industrial ecosystem they're about to dismantle? Australia's withdrawal was strategic, a pivot to areas better suited to its demographic and economic structure. But what is Pakistan pivoting to? With a population of 240 million, Pakistan has no shortage of labour or talent. Nor does it benefit from a surplus of high-value service exports. So why spend scarce foreign reserves importing fully built-up vehicles, when it can use that same capital to feed its own manufacturing base, grow the domestic parts industry, and build a more self-reliant, value-adding automotive ecosystem? By 2010, Australia had completed its industrial learning curve. It had built the technical foundations that the automotive value chain naturally fosters – process engineering, supply chain integration, metallurgy, systems design. Pakistan, on the other hand, is still climbing that curve. Shutting it down now would be like dropping out of university before the first exam and calling yourself overqualified. Policy mimicry without context is a shortcut to structural ruin. Are we really choosing our future – or merely imitating someone else's past? It's time we learn to read our own map.
