When the National Assembly Session starts on Monday, there is a lot that the ruling Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) has to grapple with. The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) intends to come down hard on the ruling party.
The NA Session is taking place after 25-day recess. The first couple of days are expected to be devoted to late Nusrat Bhutto, the former first lady, mother of Benazir Bhutto and the former house member who passed away last month.
Leader of the Opposition in the NA, Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan is said to have a fiery speech to make especially after his recently held press conference whereby he pledged to bring about evidences of how PTI is being supported by the establishment.
He is also likely to come up with scathing criticism of the PPP government whom the Opposition Leader accuses of covertly lending support to Imran Khan in order to help him break the Punjab vote bank which is currently favouring the PML-N.
With the sudden rise of Imran Khan’s Tehrik-e Insaaf (PTI) in Punjab, the Muslim League-Nawaz is engaged in prolonged stretches of struggle to overcome the emerging rival first in order to counter or dethrone the PPP government through ‘Go Zardari Go’ campaign.
Imran Khan succeeded in assembling one of the largest gatherings in the history of Punjab’s politics in recent years on 30th October. Previously it was late Benazir Bhutto whose arrival in Lahore in 1986 had attracted hundreds and thousands to
welcome her arrival after exile.
The PML-N which had started the ‘go Zardari go’ movement on October 19th finds itself distracted now. Instead of adding new momentum to the campaign which aimed at dislodging the PPP government from centre, it is now trying to secure its own backyard
which is threatened by the rising popularity of Imran Khan’s PTI.
Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan wants to bring the case to the notice of the PML-N which he says is that of efforts to create puppet parties in order to divide the established parties. What remains to be seen is how the PM responds to the string of accusations that
is likely to come in the speeches.
