MML courts PML-N

MML = The Reunion party of the Industrialists and the Few-dulls of PakistanRecommend

Another bid to ‘unify’ the different factions of the Muslim League is
being witnessed these days under the patronage of Pir Pagara. The
Muttahida Muslim League (MML) that has emerged from these efforts is a
merger of four factions of the League — PML(F), PML(Zia),
PML(Like-minded) and Awami Muslim League. Historically, the
unification of Muslim League only comes about when some shadowy forces
are at work. Otherwise, their practice has been to ‘unite later, split
first’. The Muslim League has very often been the handmaiden of
dictators and part of anti-democratic manoeuvres in our history. Under
newly appointed president Pir Pagara, PML-Q’s dissident group who like
to call themselves ‘like-minded’ have joined the MML bandwagon in yet
another opportunistic move, perhaps encouraged by the ‘invisible
angel’ friends of the Pir. It is ironic that Allama Iqbal and Jinnah’s
Muslim League has remained hijacked by opportunists for the most part
of our history as an independent country. These ‘men for all seasons’
waste no time in hopping from one party to another, depending on in
which direction the favorable wind is blowing, just to remain close to
the powers-that-be.Recommend
