@The Accountant @PakSword @Farah Sohail and fellow posters here, kindly ponder on the following possibility that seems inevitable to myself:
What will happen after the accountability court verdict?
I have posted repeatedly that it is naive to think that verdicts against the chor family will destroy them politically.
I have posted that PTI not fighting PMLN on political grounds let alone legal, is a bad move to
wait for verdicts. Hold this thought here.
Now, just assess the sudden political jump start of PTI. What is the reason for this upsurge of whirlwind IK political activity?
In my opinion, this is not a reassessment or change in policy but;
PTI was counting on NAB court verdicts to arrive within 6months deadline of 10th March. PTI's political jump start after extension of trial cases i.e. after deadline, is just acting according to their pre planned strategy of wait and watch until first week of March.
Now, coming back to
waiting for verdicts:
What will happen after verdicts do arrive?
(What if it's a mixed bag and Judge Basir decides to balance some in favour and others as guilty? a case like forgery against Baji as inconclusive or mistakenly or something?)
Let's discuss the ominous, like we assume, that what will happen if all verdicts are against chor tubber?
(First thought, as a side note too: it is indeed
MakafateAmal in my opinion, that trial cases have run beyond the deadline and got extended... Because now, the verdicts shall come during the time of Care Taker Government instead of Bakvas Sharif controlled PMLN Government.
PTI needs to be extremely aggressive on care taker government strategy as a lot depends on who is in charge of the care taker Government when verdicts come out.)
The first thing after adverse verdicts is that the sentenced criminals would immediately file an appeal to avoid being arrested for any extended period of time.
But due to a non PMLN - carectaker - government, the sentenced criminals will be arrested and sent to jail. (although Shahzadi Kazib Maryam Bakvas might not even be arrested on grounds of being a woman and special case treatment of bail might be granted till filing of her appeal).
Politically, the scenes of Bakvas Sharif and Maryam Bakvas being arrested might become a political rallying point for the stubborn and run of the mill PMLN supporters. No need to remind you that they are Shauri-(Chittay Anparh)-Jahil.
That is why, instead of waiting and watching, which was the decided modus-operandi before end of first week of March trial court deadline...was such a bad move by PTI.
PTI could have countered every Jalsa and Social Media Convention NARRATIVE of Maryam by just countering its narrative daily and after each trial court hearing - live on television and killed and buried it right there instead of giving them complete freedom to carve out and strengthen it because of months of waiting and watching.
People didn't take Maryam Bakvas as seriously before her repeated Social Media Convention speeches got so much tv time and coverage because of her outrageous contempt of court made people take notice.
As Repeatedly posted earlier...(Like it or not...however seemingly insignificant)...Political activity and struggle bears fruits...lack of it...does not.
The Hikmat of wait and watch by PTI till only recently has...Strengthened PMLN.
The Hikmat of not taking notice by SCP of Contempt of court and BANNING from Media Coverage has...Strengthened PMLN.
In the end, do you think that going to jail and coming out on bail on the shoulders of thousands of cheering - Chittay Anparh - Shaori Jahil - supporters will strengthen the narrative of victimization and being the poor suffering underdog that people of Pakistan love so much???
How significant will be the role of care taker government in staging the set at the time of arrests and at the time of release of these criminals on bail???
What will be the "appropriate time" that SCP will call Bakvas Sharif and Shahzadi Kazib Maryam Bakvas for their - ALREADY NOTICED BY SCP - contempt of supreme court???
To me, SCP looks like the only (reluctant) political saviour of people of Pakistan in the considerable foreseeable future.
