A number of our commenters have been suggesting that the honeymoon between PPP and PML(N) – or, more specifically, between Asif Ali Zardari and Mian Nawaz Sharif– will not last. That the “judges issue” will bring the demise of this coalition.
While one has been hearing such talk from the inception of the coalition, I myself am not sure. And by that I mean, I really do not know. In many ways it is a new Asif Zardari and a new Nawaz Sharif. Whatever views we have of them are, by definition, rooted in experiences that not only happened quite long ago but also in very very different circumstances. This is a very different time, a very different situation, a very different game. This is not to say that I think the coalition will, in fact, survive either the judicial crisis or other crises to come. It is merely to say – bluntly and honestly – that I really do not know.
And because I do not, maybe it is best to ask our readers what they think.
Hence, this APT Poll (its also been quite some time since the last one). Let us know what you think.
The fact is that it has survived. In any such coalition we should expect differences. Till now they seem to have worked these out. I think there is too much public pressure and scrutiny on this. As if everyone is saying you SOULD NOT survive and just wanting it to break up.
I say, give them a chance at least.
As long as Musharraf (their common enemy) is there they are more likely to stay united. Once he goes they would most likely go in different directions.
It will not take a long time and will break with in year.
@ it can survive if “they ” let it,
apparently you understood by
” they” i.e. Zarbhutte and Mian ji,
NO, not at all, its people around them,
their advisors ” The mafia makers ” !!
The break away of coalition is a dream for Seculars and
anti-Islam . The only winner will be Fazlu, although, himself,
not necessarily against coalition, well, some times you do get
worst advices by your own ” entourage “.
Guddi charhi hoi hay, Mian-o-Zarbhutte ki,
Dekhiay sambhal kay, aksar hota hay bo-kataa !!
