Bilawal dubs both the present PM and his predecesor as ‘selected’ meaning thereby that he has started taking on both the PTI and Nawaz League simultaneously. Should it be assumed that in the next general election he will be fighting on two political fronts at the same time?It is a fact that there is no love lost between the PPP and Nawaz League. No doubt, there has been a marriage of convenience between them also in the past whenever situation so demanded but that was always promoted by political expediences rather than any change of heart. Meat of one has always been poison of another.
Bilawal must have been briefed by experienced political hands in his party that an early polls at this point in time can prove suicidal for the PPP in Panjab, particularly, that is why sometimes he often talks of in-house change rather than fresh elections. Maulana Fazlur Rehman, on the contrary , is in a hurry and he cannot wait till the time the present government completes its stint in office. He, in his own wisdom, thinks that in case the present government got a breathing space and implemented even fifty percent of its electoral promises the political future of his party is going to be quite dark. One doesn’t know what the JI has been upto? Single-handedly it cannot set Thames on fire . It will be suicidal for it to go on a limb in the general elections. Experience of hindsight reveals that the electorate of this country had never voted overwhelmingly for any single religious party in the general elections though the alliance of religious parties has sometimes worked wonders for them.
