PDA : First Test First Failure
By Sameer Shaharyar • May 12th, 2008 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look • 8 Comments •Though US Assistant Secretary of State for South & Central Asia Richard Boucher has gone victor to United States as he saved his puppet tinpot dictator one more time, the nation is in despair as the Pakistan Democratic Alliance, which was the result of their mandate of 18th February has crumbled like house of cards, and it has failed to show any results even in the first major test.
The termination of the illegal acts of Nov. 3 and the reinstatement of the deposed judges was the issue over which the deadlock occurred between PML-N and PPP, and the bigger party in the coalition found itself helpless due to it’s invisible commitments and deals with the President General (r) Pervez Musharraf and America.
The nation wasn’t expecting really that the leadership of Pakistan People’s Party would dump the aspirations of people of Pakistan so soon, and would tow the line of Musharraf and would give preference to the opinions of handful of people like Farooq H. Naek, Babar Awan, Latif Khosa and Rehman Malik over the wishes and mandate of the people. PPP has not only failed to fulfill the requirements of the coalition, but it has provided the missing shoulder to the President General (r) Musharraf. PPP used delaying tactics and the extensions of the deadline for the reinstatement of judges and even made a false promise in the Bhurban Declaration, but then fell into the lap of forces of darkness.
PPP is now trying to double cross the PML-N. It has gained time and it’s efforts to alienate PML-N in the Punjab have become ultra active. They had already decided to part with PML-N in the center, and their stubbornness over the judges issue was calculated and planned and was according to the script. Despite of dislike of Sindhi PPP leadership, Zardari has patched up with MQM, and now he is trying to make inroads in the Punjab.
Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gillani has decided to spend two days in Lahore and he has already met with Najaf Sayal, the member of forward block of PML-Q, who earlier announced his support for Shahbaz Sharif. Now Najaf Sayal has promised PM Gillani the support of more than 250 MPAs in Punjab when and if needed. Efforts to make Hamid Nasir Chattha, the President of PML-Q and the chief minister of Punjab have become very much high tempered, and Governor Khalid Maqbool is also playing his part.
Only if the ruling coalition would have shown prudence and had they restored the judges after releasing them earlier, they would have been more focussed on the other issues like load-shedding, flour crisis, law and order and war on terror, and they would have more strong to counter the shenanigans and onslaught from the President House.
Mian Nawaz Sharif has fulfilled his commitment according to the oath he took from his candidates, and now Zardari should rethink his strategy as America never shows loyality with its friends, and when Musharraf could tell Chaudhary Shujaat to leave the throne of PML-Q, then Zardari is nothing in front of him.
But then, politics has no heart and blind power has not brains.

aaagggggggggrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeddddddddddd,but
who is musharraf
Musharraf is front face of those forces, who want to rule here in any way. These forces always supports their selected people as per their thoughts… they selected pure religois kind of man ( Zia Ul Haq) when our nation was basically not as aware of religious polices…because Bhutto was not religious… they slected him to increase JIHAD concept for Afghan battle… then they selected 100% opposite guy…who is fully liberal…regardless that our society was almost following left over laws of Zia… now again we have suffered because of severe resistance from same forces who first adopted JIHAD concept and now had to change themselve as liberalism…lot of confusion in our policies… effectees are only one … the one who neither want to be so called Jihadi for other countries war and neither want to see their daughters and sisters in see through dresses ( All Pakisatni girls are like our sisters and daughter)… Where we go now…Please some body tell me.
Dear Dr Razahaider,
I often oppose your views or argues ( for opening new discussions mostly) but its really great experience to read your views. Its learning process for me at least. thanks and keep writing and commenting.
sir you are too humble and down to earth ,my regards Sir, as regard to you disagreement with me, regarding multiple issue, I owe your reservation with oblige and consider it your prerogative as in my opinion it is this difference of opinion that opens horizon of thoughts and transformed the sphere of thoughts in to extended perceptions and conclusion.
