PDM & PM

It is heartening to see Ardogan leading Muslim Ummah. Name of our PM also resonates as credible Muslim leader. His religious understanding is current and relevant. His politics is below par due to poor team selection. Inexperience is taxing. Needless to say that things are good with the Army. Those out of favor from the Army are hopelessly disgruntled. Still, PM didn't have to brag about one page thing. It helped build the narrative. IK was to make big impact but due to his flawed decision making particularly under pressure that impact  might have to wait till his next term in office. Yes, today it seems I shall get ready to receive torrents of PDM supporters' logic sans logic. 
Lack of iron hand against Kiayani, Tareen & Khusro is a political compromise. And compromises have price. Now this may invite PTI supporters' stereotype rutty rattai past governments' charge sheet. But no real solution to regulate economy more so, inflation. Letting Nawaz Sharif go was a blunder. Nawaz Sharif has created some stir. But his narrative lacks end state in view. His adopted strategy is heading for collision sooner or later. Damage will be determined by intensity of the collision. For inability to mobilize masses, NS mustered support of street power lord, Maulana Fazl ur Rehman. By rescheduling first Jalsa of PDM to Gujranwala he out- maneuvered PPP and Maulana. On first given opportunity he made that controversial speech and willy-nilly his allies had to stand by his narrative. He also became de facto leader of the pack. Ironically, the pack is full of opportunists like him. Longevity of this alliance is conditional to respective interests. Clash of interest could mean end of Jeb Kutra union. PM used this term of Jeb Kutras today and it was totally irresistible not to  repeat it here. PPP is already dragging its feet because the bayania is going to cost it Sindh Raaj. In case opposition resigns, there could be no elections. Simple by elections can spoil this option and a risky gamble, PPP can't afford. If elections take place, Nawaz Sharif's current revolutionary bayania will cost him and his PDM mates. Pro Pakistanis can't approve this petty political circus. One heavy hearted acknowledgement that by virtue of his craftiness, Nawaz Sharif's ambush speech baffled govt and its average spokespersons. Below the belt pelting of Fiaz ul Hassan Chohan and likes will not affect current position of advantage of NS bayania. Govt has to stop fluttering in the face of an unforeseen political challenge.
 
Political experience in office will do wonders to PM's ability to handle domestic politics. Right now mian monster is basking on western twisted freedom in UK. UK is supportive of any thing anti-Islam (Rushdi), division & distortion of Islam (Ahmadis' staunch support) and lastly, Anti Pakistan segment. Absconders of native laws are prized taxpayers to UK govt. They don't even need to ask trail of this taxable wealth. Whether stolen, laundered or kickbacks, its money which contributes to their economy. UK like other 'well-wishers' abhors idea of stable Pakistan wherein, Political and Military leadership is in sync. So no surprise that destination of Paddington is London. 
Final word, solution of current political circus is implementation of the writ of the state. Instead of subordinate institution tackling things through ISPR and other tentacles, state has to take lead. PM has to show his leadership mettle. In case, he needs a reminder, 'Sir, international image is good just need to bring house in order. You are The Chief Executive of Pakistan.' Take no prisoners when it comes to security of Pakistan. By the way, Pakistan is way too blessed not to withstand this internal turbulence. Its people are its center of gravity in total contrast to common misperception that its General Headquarters. Narratives do have impact. Nawaz Sharif in his  desperation of bleak political future has the propensity to stoop to the bottom of lowest level.Nawaz Sharif and his gang of ten have already crossed lines. This menace should stop.
