So whats your prediction of things to come on Monday, Will NS and gang going to be disqualified? Will they face any jail time? Will new elections be called? or an inhouse change is going to take place because they still have a majority in the Parliament
Yaara I don't know at all.
PMLN as a party is in difficult position, as traditionally Punjabi MNA's are always ready to switch loyalty depending on the direction of the wind and sometimes wand.
I have read a very articulate post above by
@Emmie and he has listed the possibilities from SCP's POV. Thanks for always posting really well though-out and worded posts boss!
In the hindsight; Nawaz must be dreading not resigning and dissolving the assemblies and calling snap elections.
PTI was happy to drag the case as with each passing day the balance of popularity/public opinion was shifting in their favour and it needed the time to organize and "collect" people with votebank. This strategy perturbs PMLN a lot and their strategy is to hoard all possible winning candidates (highest, second highest, third highest vote bank holders), and place them under different groups and at eleventh hour before the elections decide the final candidate. This is great strategy, as it dries up the pool for other parties. Won't bore you with all this stuff, but the crux of the matter is; as of today Nawaz is ready to take a risk, in fact he has no other option left now other than to have a head on collision with Judiciary as chances with Army are almost zero, especially after today's message from PA that we are with accountability and justice .....but also support democracy.
If Nawaz gets disqualified and his three out of four children convicted, Kulsoom (which I had been referring to as PMLK
is ONLY option. No Dost Mohammad Khosa type of experiment can't be afforded now.
I hope Zulfikar Khosa plays his role and somehow land in PTI, if it happens then PTI can make huge dent in South Punjab.
As I said and quoted a PMLN stalwart "only a miracle can save Nawaz now".
He will not only be gone, but he will leave a miserable legacy unlike Bhutto and that will not be cashable (by his future generations).
Rest as they say, anything can change in Politics in a day, in Pakistan it changes by minutes!
