so u mean to say that jaffar has joined PMLN and will run from Rajanpur NA-174?and how confident are u regarding his joining and whats the source of the news regarding his joining? and bro u say PMLN are hunting for other khosa's but bro Amjad Farooq khosa from NA-171 has already joined PMLN so was just checking as to who the other khosa's are? and could u tell the status about maqsood leghari?is he joining PMLN as well?
Looks like elction season has started.
@Haroon Farooq:
Brother, PML-N is not banking too much on Jamal and Awais. Both brothers are actually depressed and quiet frustrated since the day they submitted to the whims of a man claming to unleash a Soo-nami. However, if they chose to; PML-N would not have too much problem taking them into its folds. As of this moment, Jaffar and Mohsin are very much in the bag and some other notables of the Khosa clan are being propped up to take the place of their Sardars in D.G. Khan.
Pertinent to note here is that SS wanted to kick out the father and sons company a long time ago but NS intervened purely out of respect for Zulfiqar Khosa. That was perhaps the biggest reasons why the likes of Jaffar, Mohsin and rest of the folks were asked to be on standby. I guess SS was right afterall.
Those who think PPP is gone, see how many notable politicians are joining PPP. If he would have joined PTI, he was termed hero, otherwise he is feudal, money grabber etc. Grow up dudes.
@adnan
brother how far have the negogiations gone with leghari's and when are they joining? Is Jamal Leghari and Awais joining or is Jaffar and Maqsood also coming with them and when are they joining?
No set back for PML(N). He was never going to get ticket, therefore he joined second finalist.
Pakistan says: Thank you Mr. Khosa. What would i do without you!
Father is in PML-N and Son in PPP. What is that???
By this move Zulfiqar Khosa building pressure on PML (N) for greater role in decision making and Khosa family also want to be looked as pro seriaki province.
Another major set back for PML-n !!
Expected! Saifuddin and Dost Mohammad are expected to jump off the ship as PML-N would not be allocating them tickets in the next elections. PML-N has already lined-up the other half of Legharis and they would contest on PML-N's ticket in the up coming elections.
@Iram,
Please cut your mightier than thou crap. If there was a civil dictatorship in PML-N, its member would not have the audacity to leave the party while serving as sitting MNAs. Ever thought as to why no one leaves MQM?
@Iram: As if PPP has a democratic process withing party :S
it was expected. nothing new because of their domestic issues and localpolitics.
Thee is Civil dictatorship in PMLN, how can one survisves there?
All I can say with regard to this article is :)
Its good self-serving politics to keep a finger in every pie..........principles be damned.
These Baloch sardars of Punjab have no morals at all. They are feudals and just show them the money and they will sold themselves to the highest bidder.
