When Benazir was killed even then his spouse didn’t take leave of his senses and didn’t make any public statement against the state of Pakistan. It is a pity that his son, in a fit of anger apparently on a suggestion of a federal minister that the provincial government of Sind can be sent home packing in case it failed to deliver, Bilawal has warned about the creation of Sindudesh akin to Bangladesh in case the federal government didn’t stop, what he billed as its excesses with his party. The common man of this country is extremely annoyed over it because what he has said, in a way, amounted to what Modi has been saying.
Politicians should be very careful in the use of proper words while expressing their views on sensitive issues , whenever, they address public rallies. One can give Bilawal some allowance as he still is in salad days when it comes to politics but it is essential that whosoever drafts his speeches must tell him that some things are always better unsaid.
Maulana Fazlur Rehman is out on a limb. Hitherto, major opposition parties don’t see eye to eye with him on his strategy to oust the elected government from power with street agitation as it would set up a very wrong modus operandi, besides, making ground for possible promulgation of yet another military take over. Maulana’s tragedy is that feels himself an odd man out in the country’s politics as long as the PTI is in the saddle. He finds himself between the devil and the deep blue sea. He has created such an hype over his decision to lock down the federal capital next month that now he finds it exceedingly difficult to retrace his steps without some face saving. Would the rulers provide him with one?
