@El Sidd ..
I guess it all boils down to the Establishment. Wipe the slate clean of all players once and for all (complete system overhaul) or get the 3 usual corrupt suspects out and give IK a fair shot at next GE.
I don't know what the main reservations are against IK. Maybe
@El Sidd can shed some on that?
AH was done before, his shelf life was over for those who nurtured him. Almost all goals achieved.
NS had no intention to fight next elections anyways - he wants to play the role of his abba jee had - the issue is within family. That is why all force is being put to save the future PM.
AZ is in no position and politically extremely weak and he knows and admits this fact, he has no choice other than to unwillingly forward Bilawal as PPP leader.
So all of the above are already subtracted by design or more so by default.
@PakSword - You are spot on issues of $ for PA - however China has no issue with IK, nor with any other including PPP. Their vision is strategic not tactical, and no party or leader can go against China even if it's Maulana Fazlur Rahman as PM
KSA can play its cards and is still playing behind the scenes; their Ambassador and rep of King Salman recently met IK and SMQ.
Turkey is insignificant as yet - due to Erdogan's own issues - it wants to be seen as player like Iran and KSA and also due to its European card which it couldn't play due to non inclusion in EU for so long- now situation is different in Europe after the defeat of pro Russian stooges in Netherlands and France, and also Brexit.
@Farah Sohail - you are spot on IK's blabbering re every issue on earth. In Jalsas you don't ever touch upon policy nor strategy. It's showcasing performance and procedural and tangible stuff that sells.
He has a lot to learn - but unfortunately he has no credible predecessors to follow. If he was in US as candidate - he could learn from Lincoln, Roosevelt, Washington, Reagan etc., and picked up a leaf from here and there - in Pakistan, he's at disadvantage - very few predecessors if any are worth following
He is honest but not shrewd or cunning - and our system requires cunningly shrewd politicians to get into the power corridor, additionally he is too blunt and doesn't believe in "No comments" philosophy which is a cornerstone of any presser of any diplomatic leader.
As for PA - I quoted a conversation with one of the PA Generals in London recently, where he stated we have no issue with IK, if he let's us have the complete authority to fire shots in certain domains.
Defamation case is a joke - if it is taken up then Zardari can file against Shahbaz and so on and so forth- defamation is not so easily possible in western democracies what to say of South Asian styled farce democracies
10 arab wali offer jo banda le kar aaya tha...jis main uska apni bhi commission tha....aap ka kia khyal hai ...ke woh koi itna integrity wala banda hoga..jo jhoot na bolay? Jo bribe offer karraha hai...woh koi bhtt imaandar aadmi tu hoga nahi.. So 99.9% chances yehi hain ke woh backout kar jayega court main ke main ne aisa kuch nahi kiya.. Aur waisy bhi court main jaa kar kon kahay ga ke haan main offer le kar gaya tha? Sab se pehle tu court usay hi poochay gi..ke kiun kia aisa? Aap aisi offer le kar kiun gaye? Ye masla hoga..os case main IK ko.. Aur doosri baat jo aap ne kahi....ke agar us ne sach bolna chaha bhi tu sharif family usay nahi choray gi.. Koi apnay business aur apni life ko IK ke liye kiun khatray main daalay ga??
What if ABC, DEF, or XYZ says it's him that who brought the offer. It's so vague that it will be quashed in a sec.
