Yet another visit to UK

Tensions rife at home

 

Mian Nawaz Sharif it appears will have to undergo treatment in London which might take a number of days.  What has given a new twist to the issue is the statement from the Prime Minister’s political secretary which tells of a weeklong ‘personal visit’ which would ‘also include ‘medical treatment’’. The clarification by Ch Nisar indicates that the party has taken quite some time to decide what to tell the public about the Prime minister’s state of health.  In any case Nawaz Sharif’s stay in London will be closely watched by the opposition

 

Ch Nisar meanwhile has turned his guns solely on Imran Khan while explaining that his remarks about the Leader of the Opposition were misunderstood. The change in attitude is presumably the outcome of the consultative meeting held by Nawaz Sharif with major party leaders before departure. The PPP meeting called by Bilawal Bhutto has meanwhile decided not to join the proposed PTI protest outside the Raiwind residence of the Sharif family. Instead it has decided to cooperate with opposition parties including the PTI in the Parliament on the basis of issue to issue understandings. In another balancing act the PPP leadership y reprimanded Rehman Malik for holding unauthorized meetings with the PMLN leaders.

 

With the PPP abstaining from extra-parliamentary protests this will remove a major worry of the Prime Minister and his party.  Imran Khan will now have to be content with Jamaat-e-Islami’s support which may not be as forthcoming in Punjab as in KP or Karachi. The PMLQ will be of little help to Imran Khan in agitational activities. Will Khan seek a meeting with Tahirul Qadri while in London to ensure his backing for the proposed sit-in? Unwilling to fritter away its energies through protests after the Model Town experience PAT is currently concentrating on mass contacts. It has shunned confrontation and has not gone beyond a small peaceful protest against the Sharif scions’ involvement in offshore companies. Unless the PAT and PTI join hands the Raiwind protest will remain a single party affair.
