The recent deal between the PPP and the PML(Q) is a recent “all-in-national-interest” episode of a drama that has been going on for as long as we can remember. Musharraf did the same and was a dictator for over eight years. He handed over Pakistani citizens to USA in the national interest, followed by killing of Nawab Bugti, Lal Masjid massacre, the NRO, etc. Now Ch Shujaat would like us to believe that he has decided to extend his support to the PPP-led coalition government in the national interest and that this has nothing to do with either Moonis Elahi’s case, or the temptation to be in power.
