Does Prime Minister Gillani have any power at all?

Filed Under PML, PPP, Pakistan | 1 Comment

It was said that former PM Shoukat Aziz was a showpiece prime minister only and the real powers were in the hands of President Pervez Musharraf. We are seeing a repetition of the same situation in the new government as well. It seems that PM Gillani is prime minister in name only. The real powers of the prime minister are being enjoyed by Asif Ali Zardari.

Important political and administrative decisions are being taken in the Zardari house. The prime minister only follows the instructions passed on to him by Zardari House. We can say that only names and faces have changed.

A government of the family, for the family by the people

Filed Under Pakistan | Leave a Comment

Our leaders without any exception are very large hearted. They want all members of their family in the parliament - brothers, sisters, sons-in-law and other near and dear ones. Without them they feel alone in the parliament and consider the democracy incomplete. A glance at the list of the members of parliament federal/provincial will remove all doubt. All from the family makes a good government.

Bleak future of PML - N government in Punjab

Filed Under Pakistan | Leave a Comment

It is in the air that in case of disqualification of Mian Shabaz Sharif , the Chief Minister of the province the PML-N would like to surrender the government to the PPP on the basis of a democratic theory that if the government is not in his family it should go to the other party.

Had the PML-N chief a bit large hearted and of a democratic bent of mind he should not have disturbed Sardar Latif Khosa . This young man should have been given a chance. However, it is never too late to mend.

APDM and General Musharraf

Filed Under PML, PPP, Pakistan | Leave a Comment

When a government of people’s elected representatives has come into existence and it has also started to function properly with full democratic glory APDM seems to be a superfluous organization. Moreover, it is no longer the APDM which was formed in the beginning. It is only a residual of APDM and gathering of boycotters having a strong will to rule the country without contesting elections.

The remainders of the former whole are not even opposition. They are self claimed people’s voice. They should leave the fate of General Musharraf to be decided by the elected members. APDM should not dictate.
