Pakistan is the country where the political landscape changes in Bink of an eyes. It literally surprises everyone and thus creates absolute thrill and drama. The friends become foes and foes turnaround as folks. The people just watch and get along with this political feast. the country already starved off real entertainment finds it an ideal opportunity to witness this jigsaw puzzle. The warm weather and continuous energy shortages have just made our politicians real energetic and zealots.
The two traditional rivals PPPP and PML N have come on big time to each other. The days are not far when both leaders zardari and sharif were calling themselves brothers and were promising to continue their brotherhood and friendship to next generations in form of hassan nawaz and bilawal zardari. The warmth from both sides was expected to last briefly and as anticipated sharif parted ways on account of false promises and commitments from zardari. but the classic friendship on government levels was still on as pppp was part of shahbaz led Punjab coalition and PML N as termed by critics was playing role of friendly opposition.
The things begin to slide in last February when shahbaz ousted the pppp ministers from its cabinet and nawaz started to pass on harsh comments to zardari. The recent showdown comes from AJK elections campaign when nawaz tightened its screws on zardari and termed the federal government along with zardari corrupt, timid and incompetent and blamed zardari for the pressing problems of Pakistan in terms of terrorism, load shedding, unemployment, corruption and growing inflation. The heat was on when zardari addressed the gathering on eve of BB birthday at naudero larkana. Zardari's outburst was rather more emotional hitting nawaz personally calling him apolitical, molvi and friends of militants. Zardari's burst was rather obnoxious as he is also president and analysts thought his brawl at the times was above the sanctity of his office which is constitutional and figurehead of federation.
Pak politics has now certainly entered into period of uncertainty and unpredictability. The traditional rivalry has once again resurrected and its just matter of time when the real battle of power begins. The things for zardari and pppp would not be smooth as uneasiness among masses on account on long breakages of electricity, unaccountable corruption, increasing prices and above all target killings and manifold terrorism nevertheless security failures in abbottabad and PNS mehran. Nawaz with all to play for may have set some targets to dislodge current set up and mobilize people for real change . The public at fences will have so much colourful political performances to look for in days to come.
