PML-N’s win?

Letter February 23, 2018
People in Punjab are only likely to further sympathise with Nawaz and the PML-N

HYDERABAD: The disqualification of Nawaz Sharif from party leadership may push the former prime minister into a corner but it is most likely that this disqualification by the Supreme Court may only help his anti-judiciary campaign and instead provide an ego boost to his party to fight even more passionately.

People in Punjab are only likely to further sympathise with Nawaz and the PML-N and become even more convinced in casting their votes in his favour come the general elections this year. One cannot deny the fact that the PML-N, unlike the PPP in Sindh, has helped develop not only the urban centres of Punjab but also the rural areas. This will only work in its favour and it would not be a surprise if the PML-N manages to form the next government at the centre.
