The Opposition has finally stitched it up. At last count, it had confirmed over 200 votes to oust the PTI government in Islamabad. These include most PTI allies plus a significant chunk of sitting PTI MNAs answering either to Jehangir Tareen or dealing directly with Nawaz Sharif. It was important to get past this 200 number because Imran Khan is sure to offer fresh inducements to his allies while pushing state institutions like the FIA, NAB and Police to cut the Opposition down to size. A formal notice of no-confidence is expected to be lodged next week if – the big IF — all goes according to plan.

Significantly, the Opposition has decided to focus on ousting Imran Khan and postponed “other” thorny issues till after a successful vote of no-confidence. These “other” issues include who will be the new Leader of the House or prime minister, what will be the composition of the new government, for how long will this government last, what steps it will take to order and ensure free and fair elections and whether or not all or some provincial assemblies will also be dissolved and national and provincial elections will be held simultaneously as in the past.

But there is a big assumption underlying this forecast. That is, IF the ubiquitous Miltablishment does not signal NO, or otherwise. Indeed, the delay in announcing an irrevocable date for D-Day is related to confirming assurances of “neutrality” from the Miltablishment that has time and again bailed out Imran Khan and “betrayed” the opposition. An indication of the sort of uncertainty that exists on this front can be gauged from a recent statement by Mariyyum Aurangzeb, the PMLN spokesperson, accusing (and warning) a top pro-Imran Khan Miltablishment official based in Peshawar of calling up PMLN MNAs and asking them to refrain from participating in this exercise. The opposition knows that if this move fails for one reason or another, it won’t get another chance for a long time, during which Imran Khan may be expected to reset and consolidate his power equation with the Miltablishment and divide and rule over the opposition.

Curiously, while the war clouds are darkening over his political horizon, Imran Khan has jetted off for a meeting with Vladimir Putin, the modern Russian Tsar, in Moscow, who decided to invade Ukraine, trigger war and incur global condemnation. In the event, there was no joint statement, press conference or banquet for the visitor. This is a case of either over-confidence – the Miltablishment is with him and he doesn’t have to worry about anything — or cynical desperation – it’s all over, so might as well get some billing back home for meeting the top world leader of the moment! Certainly, there was nothing in the brief meeting that would suggest any “breakthroughs” in the realm of “geoeconomics” or “geostrategies”.

There is, of course, no doubt that Imran Khan has alienated, or lost the support of, most sectors of state and society at home in less than four years. By virtue of its close association with Khan, the Miltablishment is also smarting from the popular backlash against it. A degree of bitter resentment has also seeped into it on account of Khan’s arrogant and dismissive attitude, no less than his attempts to manipulate its leadership. Still, suspicions linger about its readiness to fully trust the Opposition and learn to live and let live with it.

Then there’s the media. It is up in arms against new laws to gag it into submission. Even the most biased pro-Imran anchors and commentators worry about their falling credibility in the face of rising anti-Imran sentiment. But journalists are a cynical lot by definition. If the oppositionists drag their feet much longer on the vote of no-confidence, the media will waste no time in lambasting them.

Not to forget the Election Commission of Pakistan. It is about to release evidence of large-scale fraud and money laundering in the PTI’s foreign funding case. That is bound to make nasty headlines for Imran Khan and facilitate the opposition’s strategy. The ECP also intends to challenge a new Ordinance that violates its code of conduct for candidates and supporters in the run-up to elections.

Finally, the judiciary is waking up to resist Khan’s unconstitutional diktat. The judges in the case against Maryam Nawaz Sharif have ticked off NAB prosecutors for delaying matters because they lack evidence. The Chief Justice of the Islamabad High Court, Athar Minallah, has just upbraided FIA officials for violating SOPs and deliberately misreading sections of the PECA law by arresting media owner-editor Mohsin Baig. Most significantly, the good judge has suspended action under the new PECA amendment aimed at arresting and punishing free speech on social media, which is an indictment against Khan and his yes-men in the law department who drummed up such a black Ordinance in the first place.

But it’s the economy, stupid. It shows no sign of limping out of the Intensive Care Unit. The hardships of the people are not about to go away. Indeed, that is the major reason why the PMLN wants an immediate election after Khan’s ouster which it can win and rule for five years thereafter rather than struggle to lead a government for a year or so and incur the wrath of the people for not being able to deliver before the elections next year.

So we wait and watch for The Big IF …..

Huh? Stop peddling lies here. JKT took an air ambulance to London. He out. PML-Q isn’t playing ball. PMLN members don’t want to give any tickets to the PTI turncoats. You guys are cooked.

Government is daring them to bring No confidence motion. 27 PML/PPP National Assembly members have signed up to switch sides.

But again Patwari need some sort of motivation to dream of khota Biryani that he will get to eat :
 
.
This is why I am skeptical of this whole exercose.

These people don't have anything in common, and are looking to double cross each other any chance they get and get advantage for themselves. They aren't sincere with each other.
Nobody is sincere in politics.
Corrupt political family limited just wants to oust PTI to put in their 3rd generation snakelets. This is enough for me to support PTI despite their shortcomings.
 
. .
The only hand pulling the opposition back is their own.

They can't figure it out themselves what they will do if the motion succeeds...PML wants new elections, PPP wants PML to take government and get the blame during this time, so that PPP will be in a better posiiton by next year.

Shahid Khaqan himself said that they do not need allies for the motion to succeed.

Couple this with the numerous statements by people from all sides of the aisle that there is now neutrality. Unless someone is suggesting that a CC is going rogue.
PMLN justs wants to do something till 2023
2023 basically they are going to win easy by taking almost all central punjab atleast 90 seats over there and then getting freebies from south punjab enough to form govt with mualana sahab

Nobody is sincere in politics.

Why would you vote for in competent PTI
have you seen how rupee went to 145 as soonas they got elceted and then to 170 when they signed IMF. Unlike PMLN they negotiated poorly and let the rupee fall so much

What other proof of incompetence you need?

Also look at the inflation they caused ..our inflation is almost 10-12%. You cant attribute all of this as globally as USA inflation is just 8%

What about their promise to make pakistan richer then westeen countries?
 
. .
Whats the general mood amongst the general public (question only for resident pakistanis, oversees ones ignore this) regarding PTI in general and the possibility that they get removed in particular?
 
. .
Imran Khan performance has been wayy below par. Rising inflation, screws up the foreign exchange no mega projects. There’s a long list of his failures. However having said that, I would still prefer Him or some other tom dick Harry third person over Zardari and Nawaz anyday. Particularly because they rule the country as if it is their father’s inheritence. One is a looter and the other is badmash thug killer. Imran on the other hand is neither and atleast is trying to break the status quo.
 
.
Hehehe.. These guys are so naive. They are being pushed to file this motion and get egg on their faces.. why would any sane political person play such high stakes game when only one year of this govt remains.
 
.
This is another circus establishment wants to creates amongst politicians by hook or by crook. There is no need of No-Motion against PM when almost four years already passed and opposition winning every election after a dismal PTI performance. It creates chaos in its aftermath for everyone except establishment. Better to give IK his last year in politics once and for all i/o making him a hero again by throwing him out unnecessarily.

Furthermore, In essence the opposition number game can only be fullfilled if JEHANGIR TAREEN group joins them/PMLN and everyone knows JKT group is eyes and ears of establishment. People who accusing opposition of foreign support either extremely naive or stupid or themselves stooges of establishment for creating disinformation in ordinary public.

As i said earlier, there was simply no need of No confidence motion, it doesnt suits oppisition specially PMLN. Its establishment ploy to drag PMLN in horse trading shit storm and anarchy post NCM. The SS group in PMLN learning it fast, Why accommodates No bodys, establishments stooges pawns like Qleague, JKT, BAP on important position only bcz they are black mailers? PMLN& associatesa wins elections easily they only needs to wait just one more year. All these groups would be made siyasi yateems automatically once and for all from Pakistan political scene. This is the only true way forwrds. Only vote ko izzat do idealogy need to remains and sustains Inshallah.
