WHO WILL WRITE THE EPITAPH OF THE PML (N) IF NOT MARYAM NAWAZ?

I have since long believed and contended that the “N” version of the Pakistan Muslim League would pass into history as quietly and steadily as her previous brands. There was Field Marshal Ayub Khan’s Muslim League that breathed her last with the exit from power of her founder. Then came General Zia ul Haque’s Muslim League, followed by the “J” or Junejo version.
It was with the exit of General Zia that his protégés assembled to form a Muslim League that had Mian Nawaz Sharif as its CEO. It was appropriately named as PML (N). When his government fell in 1999 and General Pervez Musharraf stepped in to take control of the Nation’s destiny, a new Muslim League was fathered with several pretenders’ to its leadership. In reality it was Musharraf’s Muslim League —i.e PML (M). It was to survive as PML (Q) under the leadership of the Chaudhries.
The second stint of the PML(N) witnessed the ‘return to power’ of Mian Nawaz Sharif yet again. And ‘the fall’ too came ‘yet again’— though this time his term of office was longer.
Now that all doors to the corridors of power seem to have been closed to the Emperor of Jati Umra, his PML (N) has gone into the process of disintegration quite visibly and steadily.
That leaves only the PPP (with its power-base restricted to Sindh) to challenge the emergence of the PTI as the sole National Party— under the leadership of its founder Imran Khan. Incidentally these ‘two’ are the only major political parties that were formed in the times after the Quaid, and that had explosive impact on the destiny of the country.
There can be no denying the fact that the PTI means to Pakistan of today what the Muslim League of the Quaid had meant to the Muslims of the undivided India. Precisely why the defeated political forces have rallied behind the “Comic Alliance” of the PPP, the PML (N) and the rest.
Despite the ‘woes’ of the PPP under Zardari’s leadership, I am led to believe that the PPP is not yet as lost a case and cause as the PML (N). Bhutto’s PPP can still survive as a reasonably effective opposition to the political Force of the era— Imran Khan’s PTI. That is if Bilawal can convince the voters that he his more of a ‘mother’s son’ than a father’s.
Meanwhile the question of the day is WHO WILL WRITE THE EPITAPH OF THE PML (N) IF NOT MARYAM NAWAZ?
