There have been two reasons for strong criticism of PTI for the last eight years. First, the party remained a puppet of the establishment. And secondly, from the head of the party to the worker, everyone has a very bad attitude.
Similarly, there have been two reasons for supporting Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz. The first is that the performance of the governments of this party has been better than the performance of any party or regime government in the history of Pakistani power. And the second is that the leadership of this party has very clearly been in the hands of a family with Eastern traditions. One of these two causes has either ended or is about to end, as far as these two parties are concerned. For example, PTI is no longer the representative party of the establishment. Although the struggle to recover the ‘old job’ continues, it remains a political orphan for now. On the other hand, our primary reason for supporting the PML-N is fast disappearing. The performance that we were aware of is not visible in the Shahbaz Sharif government.
Ishaq Dar has always been the most powerful member of the government after the Prime Minister in the PML-N government. And, of course, they have been based on performance. This time too, when he suddenly arrived in Pakistan from London, just hearing the news of his arrival, the value of the dollar started to plummet. This had an effect on Dar Sahib himself that he became excited and spoke loudly. He claimed to bring down the value of the dollar below two hundred rupees, but when the stage came to do so, the dollar proved to be more powerful this time.
It was probably due to the intense pressure to give some good news that a few days ago he shared the news and congratulations through his Twitter handle that Maryam Nawaz has been made the senior vice president of the PML-N.
The information was for us and congratulations to Maryam Nawaz. We definitely do not deny that this family news must have been very important for Dar Sahib, who is the in-law of the Sharif family. But we want to hear the good news from our finance minister
If you leave government work, the pool of political work of PML-N as a party has also opened in Punjab. When PTI chief Imran Khan announced the dissolution of the provincial assemblies of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in November last year, the PML-N challenged him to fulfill this commitment. Not only was that challenge accepted by Imran Khan, but the Punjab Assembly was constitutionally dissolved.
Rana Sanaullah was sitting in the gallery of the Punjab Assembly to see the success of the PML-N movement, but he had to see the failure. The question is, why did this happen? The answer is that the PML-N is suffering from internal strife. The first problem of this party is that now it has three Prime Ministers. Prime Ministership changes anyone’s profile. Now see that Shahid Khaqan Abbasi used to be a part of the Pindi group of PML-N till 2017. Now he is finding it insulting to be associated with the Pindi group. Shahid Khaqan Abbasi secretly came to London on an apology pilgrimage but could not save his beloved Miftah Ismail. Mian Shehbaz Sharif is the third Prime Minister of the N-League. They are faced with the challenge of protecting their interests as well as settling their children. And from here arises the division that exists within the Sharif family. Maryam Nawaz is trying to secure the future of Hamza Shahbaz, the younger brother.
The same situation is with all the political parties. Bilawal is a new-generation leader in the Pakistan People’s Party. If there was any difficulty in his footing, it has been completed by his Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In a short period as Foreign Minister, he has proved that he has a strong grip on foreign affairs like his maternal grandfather and mother.
JUI chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman is also going through the phase of settling his crown. His son Maulana Asad Mahmood has not been able to establish even a moderate level of influence. In this chapter, the situation of Chaudhry Parvez Elahi is the most interesting. The challenge was to settle Moonis Elahi but the situation has become that Moonis Elahi thinks he is settled and his father needs to be settled. ANP’s Asfandyar Wali Khan is also facing the stage of settling his so Amal Wali Khan.
Bilawal Zardari, Maryam Nawaz and Hamza Shahbaz are the expected big players of the future in this game of politics. Big not in the sense of having great talent but in the sense of inheriting a great legacy. We have already mentioned Bilawal. Maryam Nawaz’s situation is that her total introduction so far is that she is a crowd puller, but crowd gathering in politics is not a part of the whole. There is no observation of the political stakes that have to be fought on the tail of this crowd compared to Maryam or Hamza.
Especially the situation of Hamza Shahbaz has been very funny. He was the leader of the opposition in the Punjab Assembly and a candidate for the chief ministership, but did anyone see him on the scene in the recent Punjab game? He sat in an unknown cave and waited that when the elders of the family would overpower Parvez Elahi, he would appear and take over the prime ministership. His Twitter account also went silent as soon as his so-called chief ministership ended. But as soon as the no-confidence motion against Parvez Elahi became heated, the activities of his office, which is set up like a doctor’s clinic, started to be shared again on Twitter. And now it’s over again. By the way, we have also seen a clip of a few seconds of his prime ministership, in which he is seen coming out of a building, believe me, the desire to see Pharaoh has been fulfilled.
In such a situation, the economic situation of the country is in front of everyone and it is critical. Army Chief General Asim Munir has also said like every former Army Chief that the country is going through a critical situation. But from the behavior of the national leadership, it seems that their real problem is that Bilawal Zardari, Maryam Nawaz, Hamza Shahbaz, Mo0nis Elahi, Asad Mehmood and Amal Wali Khan are going through a critical period. Everyone is focused on settling their child. Now, until these children are settled, the country will not be the first priority of the political leadership. If these children settle down, there will be a possibility of cheap dal flour for our children. So we have decided that next Friday we will send a chit to Imam Sahib and request him to pray for the early settlement of these children so that the national leadership can focus on solving the country’s problems.
