The politician most likely to be Pakistan’s next prime minister is a wiser man and a more mature leader than the one who governed twice in the 1990s before being overthrown in a military coup, according to one of the women who knows him best – his favourite daughter. It would be an extraordinary comeback for Nawaz Sharif who 14 years ago was arrested, thrown in prison and exiled.
Of course,no doubt, the daughter of a former Prime Minister entertains hopes for a still higher and loftier 3rd term for the august PM office for her father NS, who is now more maturer and more confidential publically-speaking-politician. His party may win 10 to 20 more seats when comparing with his rival’s PPP seats but one must admit that Mr. Zardari, having his own inner special abilities to live and let live, he will easily succeed in winning the confidence of the smaller parties and the happiest independent MNAs required for the formation of federal Coalition govt. In Punjab, surely it will be PML-N and in Sindh MQM may jump to occupy the driving seat. And about Imran Khan, lesser said the better after his ‘slip of tongue’ and then he fell down and collapsed on Faisalabad stage soon after his most ‘timid’ speech at Chiniot on 5th of May,2013. Baqi Allah, Allah, Khairsallah.All well that ends well with free and fair elections under CEC Khairobhai, really a great achievement.
A.Sheikh very well analyzed and commented. IK might give tough time but at the end what you say is likely outcome.
Dear Shah Sahib, AOA, Let me say artificial, sponsored and pumped-up, made-up leaders like IK have got no future, at all. Such-like people are just like beggars and beggars do not have got the right to choose. Ik is begging all alone and he solely relies on his appeal to youth and most of his fans who attend his public meetings are under 18 of age and have got no right to vote in the forth-coming general elections. Oh, sorry to use this term of general elections. There are no General elections in Pakistan. The last such elections were held in 1970 and those were held under Joint Electorate System in which all Ahmadis through out East and West provinces of Pakistan, used their right of vote and this humble scribe still remember to recall that the Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, His holiness Hazrat Hafiz Mirza Nasir Ahmad Khalifatul Masih Al-Salis(rta)was the first one to cast his vote at the polling station set up in the T.I.High School, Rabwah. These were the last General Elections held in Pakistan in 1970. Those were really the most peaceful and fruitful times in the history of Pakistan. That sort of peaceful period of plus of everything in plenty with cheap prices in both the wings of the country are now impossible even to think of. Anyhow, reverting to the topic. Ik has pinned his hopes on the ‘electable’ and may not beg or bag more than a dozen seats. Anyhow gone are the days of the formation of single party government in Pakistan. Only coalition governments will be the style of ‘weak’governance in Quaid-e-Azam’s left-over Pakistan. Let us hope and pray that stability and prosperity and peaceful day and calm quite night-sleep for the poor common man will become possible after the free and fair elections. InshaAllah.
