A common enemy is the biggest uniting force. As long as PTI and Imran Khan attacks all other parties, they will unite against himThese allies are never permanent. Remember PPP and PMLN alliance that was formed in 2008? How fast it crumpled?
Haha what a "plan" of coalition parties that are standing in govt with only 2 votes majority
Yes, PTI will attack all the parties. Why would it sit with any party especially those that backstabbed it during crucial NCM vote? Solo flight is difficult but still better than these backstabbing allies
The next battle will be between the two old rivals after IK is taken care of permanently.
Golden opportunity to return to the parliament and dislodge this Govt!
Politics is an art of winning hearts and not harping like a wild beast all day.
This SIKHA SHAHI attitude is the real down fall of IK.

ISLAMABAD: Foreign Minister and PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Wednesday said former prime minister Imran Khan knew that he could not win the election if institutions remained neutral and this is why he is running a campaign so the institutions can act controversially as his ‘Tiger Force,’ Geo News reported.
- Bilawal says Imran wants institutions to not play their constitutional roles.
- Says some elements or ‘puppets’ like Imran Khan present in Sindh.
- Bilawal claims in next phase of local body election, PPP will again make a clean sweep.
While speaking on the floor of the National Assembly, foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto said this is the reason Imran Khan has been complaining on why the institutions are apolitical and neutral.
“Imran Khan wants institutions to not play their constitutional roles,” he added.
He also responded to the allegations of rigging in the recent local government elections in Sindh in which PPP emerged victorious and led by a clean majority.
Bilawal said there were some elements, parties or ‘puppets’ like Imran Khan present in Sindh, who always supported dictatorship.
“In local government elections, these elements were expecting that the institutions will not be apolitical and they will be controversial but it did not happen,” he added.
Bilawal Bhutto went on to say that such elements were worried during LG polls because institutions like the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) and others, who take interest in elections, are now neutral and remained apolitical.

“Whenever there is a level playing field, PPP always performs well in the elections,” he said, adding that, “all opposition parties are well aware of the fact that in the next phase of the local body election, PPP will again make a clean sweep and opponents will find no place to escape and their bails will be confiscated.”
Bilawal Bhutto further said that PPP had been struggling to strengthen democratic norms in the country for the last three generations.

PTI need new allies. Old allies were too unreliable. And after their defection to PDM during crucial NCM vote, they simple can't be trusted
If Imran wants to be a more successful politician, then he should have more emotional maturity to decide on how to deal with other parties. Making alliance of convenience with others is necessary in a multi party system. As polls repeatedly show, combined PDM has more support than PTI. If this trend should continue, then Imran will find it very difficult to keep his party together after loosing next election. Only mature and savvy politicians can keep party together after loosing power. Do you think that Imran has the game for it?
Like MWM, Sunni Ittehad and Sherani group all tanga parties.
I do not expect anything less from PTI supporters. But if polls are to be taken seriously, then PTI does not have the necessary simple majority in vote share to afford this hardline position.
Lol so there will be less inflation right before the next general elections? How will imported govt achieve that? With time inflation increases not decreases
I can only agree that everyone earns their comeuppance, but beyond all of the above bold predictions, what do you think happens to the the 30-odd percent of Pakistan's electorate that support this party, some fraction of which are die hard supporters? They can diminish, but I don't see them disappearing. IK has created not just a party but collected the constituency from the urbanite and middle classes, these folks have a very specific type of politics and his is currently the ONLY major party capable of servicing the political ideas of this class. They do not view other parties with credibility.
Backstabbing in politics is as old as politics itself. Politics in a multi ethnic, multi party set up is not for the faint of heart. This is why a politician in the sub continent does not only have to be a good administrator, but also a savvy diplomatic political tactician. Every party and every coalition will have enemies within who are waiting for a chance to become turncoat for the right price. Not everyone can be cut out for this job. If Imran Khan had won 2018 elections outright without any help from establishment, then I would not doubt his prowess.
