Comments on: Nawaz Sharif Play With Kitten http://www.pkhope.com/nawaz-sharif-play-with-kitten/ A Candid Blog Thu, 24 May 2012 13:22:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Salman Khan http://www.pkhope.com/nawaz-sharif-play-with-kitten/comment-page-1/#comment-1160597 Salman Khan Sun, 28 Mar 2010 15:17:42 +0000 http://www.pakspectator.com/?p=22937#comment-1160597 The former prime minister and PML-N chief brought the constitution amendment process to a halt while announcing his backing off from signing the draft during a press conference here on Thursday evening. Interestingly, the press conference was held around 6pm, a mere one hour prior to the already planned formal draft signing ceremony by all parliamentary parties, which had been scheduled for 7pm with the PML-N’s consent. Citing unresolved differences over the appointment of judges to the superior courts, Nawaz Sharif asked the government to refrain from tabling the constitutional package in parliament without first reaching a consensus on the issue. “The government will face difficulties leading to a clash of institutions if the constitutional package is brought to parliament without a consensus,” said Nawaz Sharif. He said he and his party did not agree with the constitutional reforms package in toto. The question arises, why couldn’t he and his party members tell this simple fact to the media and the Committee itself? They had consented in letter and spirit less than twenty hours ago and even till 11 am on the day of the press conference. Its a matter of common sense that the Prime Minister had not moved the session requisition summary to the President for the joint session, without taking into confidence biggest opposition party!

PML-N has got the perception or may be it is their wishful thinking that democratic set up is at the brink of pack up. This is a good news for them. In a true democratic scenario they have no mandate other than North Punjab, therefore, power can not be grabbed without the help of Establishment, as had been done in the past. We will perhaps once again watch musical chair of power game. For forming tout governments in smaller three provinces, no problem for PML-N, they have quite a good experience in this field. The problem is that PML-N is not in good book of America (Rendezvous with Osama), therefore, this party is not beneficial for powers behind the curtain. On one point I agree.
