No alt text provided for this image

1 .During five years tenure 2013-18 of PMLN, there have been many opportunities for the PML-N to increase its popularity with the masses. For example,

  • Mian Sahib claims today that there were forces behind the 2014 sit-in staged by the Pakistan Awami Tehreek and Tehreek-e-Insaf. He could have exposed these forces far earlier.
  • The PML-N made various Faustian bargains (unfair/immoral) over the years to prolong its rule, decisions that weakened both the party and democracy in the country, however, the PML-N has committed several blunders.
  • It has taken ‘U-turns’ on many important issues and has overlooked a number of other key problems. After coming into power, for instance, it did not give foreign affairs the importance it warranted.
  • The PML-N during its government term, compromised on many important matters. Sometimes this was done on the pretext of the ‘doctrine of necessity’ and sometimes in the name of reconciliation.
  • It did not make any institutional reforms /amendments to income tax laws because of a fear of powerful tax evading lobbyists, thereby depriving the government of revenue for development projects and concomitantly slowing institutional reforms.
  • It introduced Lifafa Sihafat, Purchasing of Judges& care least for long term Projects
  • Mian Nawaz remained entangled in taking revenge from Musharraf and defaming Pak Army through Modi friendship?

2. Election 2018 & PTI Regime was a direct blow to the Hierarchy of PMLN & PPP. The matters started worsening right from the outset but both the political parties remain compact and undisputedly united. Recently PMLN rotting of politics started from Mian Nawaz Sharif hate speech against Army and establishment followed by Maryam Nawaz licking the sputum of PPP/Zardari at Garhi Khuda Buks & her PTI abhorrence turned into Halloween syndrome through few significant events occurring concurrently in Feb 2021,so as to say:-

  • Nawaz Sharif Passport expiry and his refusal to come back in Feb 21
  • Death of Mr Mushahid Ullan, the most audacious / arrogant stalwart of PMLN in Feb 21
  • Maryam hardliners group& Dawn Leaks culprit’s dispersal (Tariq Fatimi, Pervez Rashid. Irfan Siddiqui) & discarding of Zahid Khan name for Senate in Feb 21.
  • Maryam permission for treatment abroad refused by the Govt. in Feb 21. 
  • Maryam Nawaz threatening of the Supreme Court for noninterference in the Senate Balloting Procedure change in Feb 21.
  • Maryam blaming establishment for Daskka Polling Chaos in Feb 21.
  • Nomination of Yusuf Raza Gilani as PDM candidate for Senate during Feb 21, apparently as weaker nomination as compared to Dr.Abdul Hafeez Sheikh of PTI.
  • Maryam called for by NAB in Feb 21 to appear in the case of hooliganism outside NAB office on the previous hearing.
  • Hamza Shabazz release from jail on bail in Feb 21

3 Hamza Shahbaz on bail. .A two-judge bench of the LHC announced the order after the counsel for the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) completed his arguments in Wednesday’s hearing. Earlier this month, Hamza had filed his second petition before the high court for post-arrest bail on merit in the reference related to money laundering and assets beyond means. The bail had also been sought on an additional ground of hardship and inordinate delay in the trial proceedings as the Supreme Court in January denied relief to the petitioner with a direction to approach the LHC with fresh grounds for bail. The petition filed through advocates Azam Nazir Tarar and Amjad Pervaiz stated that Hamza was arrested on June 11, 2019, while the reference was filed on Aug 20, 2020, whereas the charges were framed on Nov 11, 2020, after a period of "unconscionable delay" of 17 months. It said the delay could not be attributed to the petitioner in any manner whatsoever. It argued that the petitioner was entitled to bail on this ground of delay alone without touching the merits of the case.

 4. Maryam Nawaz seems twinged at Hamza Shehbaz’s release from jail on bail, the development has triggered a new debate in the country. Maryam, who holds the office of the vice president of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), has apparently said that Hamza’s release would add to her strength. However, she has also warned the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) against summoning her, saying that appearance before the NAB would prove the last nail in the coffin of the accountability watchdog. The question being raised is this: If Hamza has been released on bail, then whose turn it is to land in the jail? TV anchor Asma Sherazi has said that apparently the government, not Maryam, appears to be perturbed at Hamza’s release. Special Assistant to Punjab Chief Minister Firdous Ashiq Awan has said now there will be a match between Hamza and Maryam. 

5. PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz cannot be expected to like any democracy wherein her party is not in power, Special Assistant to Punjab Chief Minister on Information, Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan, said Wednessday evening, terming the former first daughter the "Calibri queen"."We cannot expect the one from the 'royal family' who is aware of certain mannerisms and lacks democratic behaviour, the Raj Kumari [princess], to like any democracy wherein her family is not in power," Firdous Awan told media.The Punjab CM's aide said she "strongly condemned" those who took shots at Prime Minister Imran Khan's character because of jealousy and grudges and tried to mislead people through toxic statements."In politics, there's criticism of and disagreement with opponents [and that is] the beauty of democracy and the soul of politics," she added.

PMLN PARTY TERRIBLE POLITICAL PERFORMANCE AFTER 2013 ELECTION

6 .The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) stood victorious in the 2013 general elections with Nawaz Sharif subsequently taking over the reins of government. From the very outset, the PML-N government took a few good, cogent steps of which the significant decrease in electricity load shedding is one worth mentioning. The improved law and order situation in Karachi and the to a large degree successful drive to win the War on Terror are other potent examples.

7. In the economic sector, Ishaq Dar artificially controlled the dollar by taking out loans and stockpiling foreign reserves. This damaged the value of the Pakistani Rupee as well as the export sector. The PML-N also failed to increase either exports or foreign reserves. The outgoing government did not appoint a foreign minister which led to various setbacks in international relations. It neither focused on boosting tourism in the country nor did it promote trade with neighboring countries.

8 .The gas pipeline agreement signed with Iran during the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) era was also shelved, resulting in Pakistan being deprived of cheap gas. Instead, the PML-N decided to purchase expensive liquefied natural gas (LNG) which has caused foreign reserves to plummet. The PML-N also failed to undertake agricultural reforms or tax large landlords due to fears of political fallout. It did not provide much needed subsidies to the agricultural sector either. Ignoring the agriculture sector is in fact one of the biggest mistakes the PML-N committed. The PML-N government also paid little to no attention to the upcoming water crisis. They have finally dealt with the issue after ignoring it in the past five budgets, but this now seems a case of ‘too little, too late.’ We cannot forgive this omission since future generations will suffer because of the PML-N’s apathy.Over 40 MAF of water is going into the sea and is being wasted. The Kalabagh Dam and the Diamer-Basha Dam have a capacity of 6.5 and 8.5 MAF of water storage, respectively. But the Party did not pay attention to these hydro power plant projects. Instead, coal and LNG plants have been established in Punjab which come with two disadvantages. First, they have negative effects on the local environment and second, the raw materials being used in these projects must be imported, which will once again strain our foreign reserves.

9 .The PML-N government also delayed reforming the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA)until the final week of its tenure because of opposition from two coalition partners, Maulana Fazalur Rehman and Mahmood Khan Achakzai. This delay contributed to the creation of the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement and to the resurgence of terrorism in these areas. The PML-N did not also wholeheartedly implement the National Action Plan (NAP),while the National Counter Terrorism Authority (NACTA) was never activated. The PML-N did not priorities the education and the health sectors either. Student unions were not restored in educational institutions. A much needed syllabi update was also neglected. An adequately educated and aware youth could have become a bulwark for democracy.

10.The PML-N obliterated the supremacy of parliament by not removing the amendments introduced in the dictatorial era, and this led to the party suffering from this blunder. Former Prime Minister Mian Nawaz Sharif was disqualified from politics for life owing to the articles a dictator inserted into the constitution. Under Article 140 of the Constitution, financial, administrative and political authority and responsibility need to be transferred to local governments, but the PML-N restored the old, British-era deputy commissioner system. This was a cruel mockery of democratic values. Restrictions were also imposed on the freedom of the press and on the freedom of expression. Using the pretext of the Cyber Crime Bill, the media was effectively muzzled.

11. It is a great day for Pakistan but there is still some speculations about Pakistan getting out of Grey List during March 2021. PM Imran Khan, Mr. shah Mahmood Qureshi &Gen Qamar Bajwa Teams have produced wonders in International Relations, CPEC Gwadar Reorientation, Restoration of Sports Activities , Regional Politics, Covid Control & Global Peace Initiatives through Bajwa Doctrine, Anti Terrorism Drive & PM stern Accountability Continuation(MA).
