Cricket Captain's Hockey Team

Punjab 'Speed' Mafia may be reeling & SS might be doing some dodgy London cafe  meetings but its stooges are resisting the change particularly bureaucracy & Lohar High Court. Much credit for this also goes to PM who made the graveat mistake by trying to run Punjab from Bani Gala by placing a dummy in CM Punjab's slot. Punjab is different from KPK. Totally different settings.
House of Sharif is marginalised but its nearly four decades of investment in Punjab's 'Afsar Shahi' is still yielding benefits for them. Govt servant who thinks he is an officer is after all a servant but those at the helm of affairs are not familiar with the tricks of the trade to tame these jaded horses. Despite all his charisma, establishing writ of the law in Lohar land has become a problem for 'Hockey Team' of a star cricket captain. NAB is such a lousy institution or should we call it an institution at all. They leak everything to like-minded TV anchors & during prosecution, go on to prove nothing. Govt's big mouth spokesman, (after regaining his confidence) has again unleashed on the opposition. Again too many allegations without substance. Govt presumed that both houses of thugs will opt for plea bargain. Some of the stolen money will come in the system & those who stole it will keep justifying their actions for the rest of the term. Sooner this issue is settled the sooner govt may focus on Promised Tabdeeli. Yet again wrong assumption. Those thieves crossed all lines for money & money is the last thing they will table. Both houses have some commonalities. Both started business from the scratch which grew out of proportions. Both used politics as tool of making money. Both laundered money.  Presently, both are staring down the barrel. Both are not willing to give up on their money. Both will come out of these testing times. Like any other businessmen, if their necks are on the line, they will table money but only a little.
It is sad that active & non-participating women of political families are being named & summoned to the courts whether Maryam, Faryal, Aleema & now daughters of SS but their custodians should have exercised due caution before exposing them to the harm's way. Still sad thing. Does not fare well in our political & societal milieu.
Here is the issue. Corrupt practices have become deep rooted yet accepted norms. Corrupt are well versed in their trade. Whereas, the Captain who won the cup (office) against corruption is trying to play Test Match like T20 with a local field hockey team. The opponents are not in a hurry to let him run away with it specially when there are questions marks on curators, match officials & umpires.

Only Allah knows the whole Truth.
