Its better to announce early elections rather than offering CMship to these sold-ables. I have no comment on whatsoever going on btw Q and PTI but making Buzdhar CM of Punjab was the biggest blunder. If you want to rule Pakistan you have to rule Punjab with a strong CM that has or should've serious competence level in controlling bureaucracy. Apart from all this, it seems like in Khan's direction, Chaudry's intentionally prolonged this whole process of dealing with Khoota-league so that Imran will gain and show his public strength to Panda sitting in GHQ lol -- Tajarbakaar tola phir se 3 saal politics karnay walay say bezat "As usual". I must say Khan should offer COAS seat to Chaudry as well and fire this extension wala shaks who has no use. In fact, his defensive doctrine literally costs us a lot on IBs / IF. Apparently, the perpetual behavior of this man is consistently damaging us.

Whether this panda is incompetent like Gen yahya or corrupt like Gen kayani ,only a time will tell ,but one thing for sure he has done tremendous damage to strategic apparatus of pakistani state .

IK took 4 years to revert back his biggest stupid decision, but what will PE be able to do in one year time ... chalu daiar aaye durust aaye
Chaudry pervaiz was the best choice from day 1 instead of that goof 'tommy'' buzdaar , but by this whole blackmailing shit ....... IK shoul not have taken this decision now .

I agree, IK should have dissolved the assembles but then with JKT and Aleem Khan maybe he fears he hasn't got enough money required for a national election drive. You see honesty has a price, that's why its a test.

Buzdaar was a blunder or not? Only time can tell, maybe even time can't tell! Imran Khan swore by Buzdar's honesty and said he gets all allegations against him checked and verified by his agencies. Well then, either the system couldn't bear a simple sharief guy? Everyone thought they were better than him? He should be thrown out? Or agencies had been fooling and double crossing Imran Khan? Which is a very dangerous proposition.

Where COAS role is in all this? Can not be defined. Hence its better not to give any statements about him. Personally I do think a lot of Army strongly supports Imran Khan. The sentiments from lower levels does get carried all the way to the top of the Army chain. But then, who let Nawaz run away? Which agency was behind it? Was there any or it was just a genius doctor that managed Nawaz to obtain uneven blood test results?

Are there some isolated powerful people in agencies who are Anti imran/Pro nawaz? Or whole parts of it/ all of them are compromised? Whats the check and balance system on this lot? A lot to think about but there would be no real answer. I think people are unnecessarily venting frustration towards COAS.

And finally, set aside all other scenarios and consider one! Maybe the state is setting up the stage for something bigger? A complete overhaul of the system for which its necessary to stage a big event, play with people's emotions and sacrifice a good leader. Or maybe create allusion of it. Maybe its all going as per a plan to perform a reset.

After ch. Pervsiz elahi as CM, if PTI survives no confidence vote in center..
Then
1.
In next 18 months, Ch. Pervaiz elahi will easily pull a dozen PML-N members if not more.

2.
Tareen group will likely be merged with one party or most probably be disintegrated between PML-Q, PML-N and one or two in PTI. Most likely scenario would be that they would be pulled by PML-Q.

3.
For PTI to win punjab in next elections and form an "independent" government or a government with more seats than their current position... they must get Ch. Nisar on board. He has a huge clout and would be highly influential. Current projects plus him are needed.

4.
If PTI can not get Ch. Nisar then
a)
Either PTI be ready to be a major supporter of PML-Q as pervaiz elahi is bad news for mainly PML-N and his party share in provincial assembly will definitely improve at mainly PMLN expense.
b)
Sans Ch. Nisar, Imran Khan must meet Jahangir Tareen after winning VNC and reconcile with him.
c)
If Ch. Nisar joins PML-Q, then no matter what PTI does, PML-Q will hold the punjab government even after next elections.
d)
South punjab province if made before next elections (almost impossible) will weaken PMLN in Punjab (remaining Punjab i.e.). South punjab may be lost to PMLN thus needs rigorous work by PTI.
e)
Punjab minus South punjab will need a coalition government in Lahore. South punjab seats are key to retain majority in a punjab assembly which will now have 3 major parties (PML-N, PML-Q and PTI)

5.
Imran Khan needs to delay election atleast till April next year. His real trump card is the health card. One year of health card can do wonders for him across Punjab provided he accomplishes either point 3 OR point 4b above.

There have been hints about system change over the past few months, maybe they were waiting for an opportunity and everything that is happening is being controlled to achieve this?

Good Decision by IK. Buzdar as CM Punjab was a Big Blunder.
Imran Khan took the right decision by not installing a big player as CM Punjab. Imagine how powerful the likes of Aleem Khan would be after 3 years of Punjab's CM-ship. They would have blackmailed Imran Khan into doing all kinds of stupid stuff, including NROs and what not. Jehangir Tareen would have pressured the government into dropping all cases against him in the NAB, and would have got billions of rupees in illegal subsidies for his sugar industries. And Pervaiz Elahi could have created another bloc in Punjab to undermine the PTI's mandate in Punjab.

At this moment, Pervaiz Elahi's ascention to CMship became inevitable. It just had to be done. Let's hope, there is good in this, for Imran in the future.

Buzdar's CMship also taught us how irrelevant the CM is when it comes to good governance in provinces; the bureaucracy has the most responsibility. This will be an incentive to give more power to local governments, and create new provinces in the future, for administration purposes.
