Nawaz & Asif: When will these meetings bear fruit?
February 18th it was when the nation voted in favour of the PML-N and the PPP. It was that day and it is to this day that we wait and wait endlessly for something positive to come out of all the so-called deliberations and discussions that have been taking place.
They have kept meeting time and again. As if on a vacation or something – from Dubai to Islamabad onwards to Murree and Bhurban. From there to Dubai again and off they go to London. The change of atmosphere didn’t help. They must have thought it would.
What have these deliberations and discussions been about? Judges? Judiciary? Or about how to plunder together – in an apparently civilised manner – sharing the big bucks on the basis of popularity assessed by the February 18th voting? After all, they’ve stayed away from this country for so long!
They’re meeting again. Now these meetings are held in their palaces. I presume this time it will be about the disqualification of Mr. Nawaz Sharif and Mr. Shahbaz Sharif from contesting the elections which is obvious and pretty much written on the wall. They’ve both been sentenced by a court of law and they shouldn’t be expecting anything positive either.
The PML-N says it may ask its partner, the PPP, to form its government in the Punjab too in case Shahbaz is disqualified.
May be its about pressuring Asif Zardari to use his contacts in the establishment to do something for the Sharif brothers!?
I’m surprised how all of their family men get elected un-opposed? Shahbaz’s son, Hamza too has been elected to NA-119 unopposed like Shahbaz himself got elected unopposed to the Provincial assembly.
Let us see how long these meetings continue. They are surely a big waste of time and money. Will they bear any fruit? I am the least optimistic about any positive outcome.
As far as the votes which brought them to power. We definitely need an ‘overhaul’ of our election process! Our politics at the national level is actually family-politics, personal struggles and the lust to dominate! It’s like a large house where a lot of people live like a joint family!
Why? Because all – ALL – all of them are related to each other, from somewhere or the other! Amazed? I’m not! I’ve seen this bunch closely enough!

Perhaps they are dating
ON a serious note, however, the hopes of people are now all dust.

well just a glimpse over political shows(except those that are being transmitted ova GEO) gives the view how much people are going against the two coalition partners. and they know ther govt. is not feasible to run in such a havoc environment they have created for themselves, so yes i agree they might b planning for a save passage for themselves rather than meeting for a national cause.

Well said, Wajih! And I think the last ditch efforts of Nawaz Sharif have failed, as the LHC has ruled against him, declaring him unfit to become a member of parliament!

well i think the nation we are (ignorant,selfish, bounded by our egoistic frame of minds, not willing to change, slaves of strong and masters of weak) deserve these kinds of leaders.
people who give vote on zaat,bridary,sectarian and ethnic(y to just blame the illiterate , the so called educated [in fact professional] class has same attitude as a whole)belongings and not on national agenda deserve hunger and poverty.
if we want change then we need to change our approach as a nation(jaisi qaum wasai leader,waisi hi fauj aur wohi bera gharak mulk ka).
May Allah help us and guide us.

One Thing Faisal, stop playing into the hands of the media and stop blaming our military for everything! When things go right, it is because the politicians used the military well, when they turn sour – people like you point at the military!
It is a shame that you point fingers at those who are there to protect us day in and day out!
Respect them, rally behind them and support them so that they can fight the upcoming threats! Get over this judicial crisis to see how quickly the US is zeroing in into Pakistan for a possible attack and take-over of our nukes!
It is people like you who have brought to this day, when the military will be reluctant to fight because it has no support on the ground – why? because the media and those who were paid to ruin the image of our esteemed military have been partly successful!
May Allah have mercy on us!
