Hype in politics … PML-N and PPP face-to-face

Despite the detailed judgment in the contempt case of Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani has yet not come, he has proved that he enjoys the confidence of the majority in Parliament.

However, the fuss being created at every sitting of both the houses, the National Assembly and the Senate, by the PML-N lawmakers therefore would achieve little more than creating provisional obstacles in the smooth working.

One will be wonder if the PML-N’s claim is really genuine that it stands by the supremacy of Parliament. It became isolated in the parliament due to agitation it exhibited inside the two houses.

In quite bravo move, the National Assembly threw its weight behind the premier by passing a resolution in favor of him. All the parties except the PML-N voted for the convicted prime minister.

In the meantime, the lower house approved a resolution with simple majority in favor of a Seraiki province. Dissimilar to the PML-N, the Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) has rendered its support to a separate province that would comprise of all Southern districts of Punjab.

The resolution also proved that they were backing the ruling party rather than the PML-N which wants to carve out four more federating units.

The only constitutional way of removing the prime minister is by calling on him to show majority in the National Assembly.

However, Gilani has overtaken on the PML-N by taking initiative to prove that he still commands a majority of the lawmakers. The only best way under the circumstances would be to wait for the next elections due in less than 12 months.

I could not understand the impatience of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N). It is ineffective to scatter energies in organizing protests and public gatherings when even the leadership is not hopeful of drawing large crowds in view of the rising mercury and the harvesting season.

By the time the elections arrive, the PML-N would have consumed much of its energy against a single rival while others will use the period to make inroads into its constituencies.
