Hi
I'm back after quite some time. If you see my previous posts and the country now, you'll find quite a change. If the progress of our country is depicted as a graph, it would seem like a descent from the steepest roller coaster. Bad governance would be a very humble term to describe this mess. But if you ask Yousuf Raza Gilani, the ex-PM who was convicted from court for contempt, he would say he did great. He became the longest governing PM, presented five budgets and, and.... Sorry can't think of any more. But he should thank Asif Zardari for these 'achievements', who somehow made their allies blind, deaf and dumb.
So now there is flurry of activity among the politicians to elect the next PM. But surprisingly, the party chief, Mr. AZ couldn't come up with better candidates than Makhdoom Shahabuddin & later Raja Parvez Ashraf. Both are questionable characters. Is there no one in PPP who has no blemish? But then, why would AZ want a person who'd put country ahead of personal or political gains to be the next PM, knowing well that the first job the new PM would be expected to do would be to indict AZ?
Despite the arrest warrant for Makhdoom Shahabuddin looming over him, his nomination papers have been approved nonetheless, which is a surprise! Raja Parvez Ashraf has allegedly corruption charges on his head in dealing with the rental power plants. He probably is solely responsible for the power crisis in the country. Then we are seeing Maulana Fazl in the race also. That's really funny to see. What can I say about him?
So that leaves Kaira and Mehtab in the race. The latter is unlikely to win as he is a nominee of PMLN and it doesn't have enough numbers in the house to back him.
So, if our elected parliamentarians are still blind, deaf and dumb then we might not be much surprised.
