Political chess

As expected, the MQM has done it again. The PML(Q) and MQM joined the government for the passage of budget 2011-12. Once done now, the MQM has followed their tradition of blackmailing and getting the benefits for the future. The two leaders will now have a meeting in London, shake hands and decide their future course of action.

Unfortunately, it is nothing but staging a drama for the public consumption. The PML(N) is also not far behind. Their rhetoric against the government during the campaign for AJK elections was a clear cut indication of the same. It is an open secret now that all these parties have done so in preparations for the next elections. Will they become serious and start taking politics, governance, law and order, justice in their true stride? The public should be ready to face the irregularities in the future also.
