Why Nawaz Sharif Not Contesting Election in NA-123

By Ali Yar Khan • Oct 6th, 2009 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look • 7 Comments

One wonders about what sort of leaders we have got in this country. We simply don’t have any choice when it comes to the politicos and we have seen enough of the military dictators. From Nawaz Sharif or Asif Ali Zardari, nothing is worth to be chosen with satisfaction and the second level politicians like Imran Khan, Munawar Hassan, Altaf Hussain and some others are simply hopeless cases.

Nawaz Sharif was, some months ago, a popular leader in the Pakistan, infact the most popular leader. His disinterest in the national politics, his biweekly visits to Dubai, Saudi Arabia and London, and his confinement to the Raiwind, neglect of other parts of Pakistan has punctured his balloon pretty much badly and he is not in the position to trigger a nation or even Punjab-wide movement. He is on self-destruction spree, it seems.

In the bye-elections, PML-N has committed back to back blunders. First, they tried to postpone the elections altogether in Rawalpindi and Lahore and now the case is in the court. If they are waiting for the terrorism to end, then it means that we are not going to see elections in NA-55 and in NA-123  for some years. Not taking part in elections by Mian Nawaz Sharif from NA-123 is also extremely damaging to the PML-N.

The 10-year deal struck by PML-N Quaid Nawaz Sharif with former dictator Pervez Musharraf with the guarantee of Saudi Arabia is haunting the Nawaz Sharif  and his party. So much is the power wielded by this deal that now PML-N doesn’t talk tough about the trial of Musharraf and there is rising talk that Nawaz Sharif might not contest election from NA-123 because KING has admonished him.

Our politicians are hostages. Zardari is hostage of NRO and his past, and the Nawaz Sharif is hostage of KING. Musharraf is behind NRO and the Saudi deal and he must be rejoicing while the nation of Pakistan suffers in bewilderment.

  1. Musharraf regime was going so well but Pakistanis made another mistake that they came under the CHIKNI CHAPDI BATEIN/DAWEY by the time tested and corrupt politicians and now they are totally helpless.

    The first mistake was their agitation against Ayub Khan.

    Our polticians have always disappoint their people that’s why they distribute sweets when the so-called democratic govt. being replaced by a military dictator.

  2. NS has got serious threat to his life and that is even more surer than the threat to BB. NS even now avoids to be in Pakistan,as he has been assured that even Raiwind is not safe for him, because someone very powerful doesn’t want to see him anymore.

  3. O Zamir, come on. I guess PML-N also needs its share of martyrs.

    On more serious note, if what you say is true, then pml should tell it publicly and nonone would mind as we all have seen the end of bb.

  4. There are strong rumors in police circle for many months that sharfif convoys could any time be attacked and it can be happened any time and any where so police officers are highly reluctant of giving such duties that are close to both brothers.Every body knows that both are taking stance against military establishment and it is annoying the musharf lovers and that is the reason they are vulnerable to such attacks as musharf promoted generals are on controlling positions. I think yesterday’ attack at UN office in highly protected zone is also sent as warning signals to all such leaders who try to raise their heads against generalship in Pakistan.
    Saudi interference is just a fake act being created to degrade him as intelligence groups are working on daily basis against such people who can create problems for army men in coming days.

  5. The Civil political leadership is degraded by MILITARY DICTATORSHIP which licks the dollars from america from the time of Ayub Khan,Yaya Khan,Zia and recently Musharaff.Will any of the Missiles or Tanks produced by Pakistani Army will be named after these Heroes?
    The army of Islam under a vry senior general is in charge of assasination and Gen Machrystal is the one who headed this asasisnation wing in CIA before he became the boss of Afghanistn.

  6. Zardari is definitely not a hostage of his past or the NRO. Nothing was proven against him - anyone with the slightest sense of justice appreciates that the reason for his jail sentence was political, never legal. The man has proven his worth time and again, and continues working himself into the ground for the survival of Pakistan. Just because you are unable to accept the wonderful work Zardari has done does not make him incompetent or corrupt. It only makes you blind.

  7. hey ria ..
    i am sorry if am offensive ..
    but are you stupid ? it was proven in switzerland court that money he had in his account was black money …
    whole book can be written for his corruption .. no verdict was given for his cases because he never wanted to get one .. so he always provided fake medical certificates and appeared once a month in court
    mr 10% is now mr 50% ..
    destruction of sectors like steel mill, pia and now rental power plans prove it

    just go and check the pics of hotels and cars they rented while in US ..

    i laugh my a$$ off when you say “wonderful work Zardari has done”

    name one wonderful work ….
