The forthcoming general elections will be held peacefully under a national government, enjoying confidence of all major parties and groups, predicts a clairvoyant. He also sees continuity of the system and a lady ruling the country for a long time, a respectable personality fading out from the national scene. He also sees more target killings in Karachi and Quetta, more incidents of drone attacks in tribal areas and unnatural deaths, elite class and bureaucracy becoming very strong, police getting more powers and the poor people will suffer more with every passing day. Military will remain engaged on the western border, more financial scandals will surface as time passes.
The darvesh sees no external threat for Pakistan and USA becoming very popular in the country.
