The best or worst, hope or despair, wisdom or nonsense, the season of light or darkness: the immediate present means different things for different people. Take the political dialogue. Everyone agrees that it is the way to follow even though no one thinks it will produce anything. Whether political parties or parties and the establishment or even reach the neighbors.
Consider the political dialogue between PTI and PML-N. Both are trying not to retire from conversations, without giving anything. That the conversations have more or less exploitation is evident to all.
But the government continues to work in its response, even when it is not hidden from anyone who cannot deliver to any of the demands of the PTI. On the other hand, each second person of PTI trunk to Adiala has the hope of convincing their boss of sticking to them, while Imran Khan seems to not be.
But despite the abyss, the two parties have reached an agreement on the presidency of the Public Accounts Committee, almost a year after the general elections. The position has gone to Junaid Akbar of PTI. More than anything else, he points to Hulchul (bustle) in the PTI.
In addition to suggesting the name of Akbar for the PAC, the party also made it the new president of the party for KP, where previously Ali Amin Gandapur was in charge of the government and the party. It is also worth noting that Akbar’s name for the PAC meant to remove Waqas Akram, which is considered close to Gandapur.
Akbar is from the Anti-Gandapur camp, which presents other heavyweights such as Atif Khan, Arbab Sher Ali, etc. But this is not the only claim of Akbar de Fama; It is also known as a hard alineator, a description that no longer applies to Gandapur. So, while this leadership change could be just an effort to balance the various fields within the party, it is also leading to speculate on another protest demonstration in which the work of organizing and leading the party will not be the domain of the prime minister of kp only. While the CM stands out in optics and rhetoric in the streets, its habit of sneaking silently has caused a lot of consternation.
Apart from your mission, there are some nerves at the closed doors.
But these are not all the changes within a party that is known to play snakes and stairs with its second level. He has also put the Asad Qaiser of Modern in the role of Nawabzada (Nasrullah); Now it is reaching other parts for a ‘great alliance’, an elaboration of all the parties in the opposition for the saints while conducting conversations behind the scene.
On the other side of the hall, the government continues to pretend to govern a kingdom that does not face any challenge of hordes inside and outside. After having delivered the conversations to Irfan Siddiqui (which is not really from the Shabaz Sharif camp), the prime minister is liquidating lyrical over the economy; It seems to believe that times are good enough for the expansion of the cabinet. If the rumors have any truth, Noonie’s loyal ones will be rewarded during the expansion, although one or two portfolio could be considered to give the government a better face. The change has been inexplicably delayed but not filed.
However, Noonie’s counterparts in Punjab are broadcasting different vibrations, since the CM of the province has been in visits that are strongly similar to an electoral campaign. In recent weeks, he has been visiting educational institutes where the reception has been awakening, although a little choreographed. But what is more important, was accompanied by the unconditional Noonie with a national presence, in Sialkot, Khwaja Asif was seen next to him; In Gujranwala, Khurram Dastgir was not far away; While he was in Faisalabad, he was flanked by Abid Sher Ali and Talal Chaudhry.
It gives credit to the feeling that the urgency of the task facing the PML-N is limited to Punjab, and not to those of the center. Those in Islamabad have their own demons to fight, but popular support is not one of them; For those in Constitution Avenue, Delulu affirms about the economy and forever be in flight to foreign climates is what they enrolled.
Interestingly, it is the PPP that, as Pakistan, has been caught at the same crossroads during the past year. Apparently he is not happy with the state of affairs (but happy enough to not give up any of the small advantages that he enjoys; and children are: governments, presidency and a parliamentary position or two). What can you do, except to withdraw your hands desperately before the clumsy government that passes the draconian laws, for which the PPP is forced to vote? The PPP has really become Devdas, complaining and feasting its path through life.
But the true battles are getting rid of elsewhere. The Supreme Court seems to have woken up from its dream and is ready to fight inside, while the powers that are also observed. Apart from his mission, which is not hidden for anyone, there are some nerves to the closed doors. This is not only obvious for the interest of n in conversations.
Consider the very disconcerting trip made to the United States by the Minister of the Interior in recent days, since the new president took an oath. Mohsin Naqvi went to DC, while the government in Islamabad did little but discussed the new administration in interview programs.
He did not take property or interest in what was happening in DC, or explained why his Interior Minister was doing the work of the Foreign Minister, who is too busy taking care of all finances. So much so that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs even distanced himself from the visit when the optics became a bit controversial.
This distancing simply strengthens the perception that the visit was sanctioned by others. But he still does not explain why a minister would be sent to Helter-Skelter to the United States, resulting in many moments of ‘Oops’. In addition to allowing Twitter storm in a cup of tea, all he has done is to strengthen the PTI claims that he has some tricks under the sleeves. Own Metals?
