New political party on the cards

New group formed to provide effective opposition to govt

LAHORE: The increase in the number of disgruntled leaders and workers of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) coupled with serious allegations levelled against the central leadership of both parties have led to a new development in the country’s political landscape with competent and political circles of the country deciding to constitute a new political party.

This political party is expected to serve the role of an alternate platform to the PPP and PML-N in the next general election. The name and manifesto of the new party is expected to be decided after sometime, while preparations to register it in the election commission have also been made.

A senior politician named Muhammad Ali Durrani is busy in its constitution and is in contact with the estranged workers and leaders of both the parties.

Sources have revealed that a roadmap has been prepared for the foundation of this party according to which a new platform is required keeping in mind the political limitations and other legal difficulties faced by both the political families.

 Currently, the political workers of both the parties have been rendered helpless and this emergence will be a platform for them.

In such a situation, the new political party will come to the fore as a big alternate which will have the support of a strong block in every electoral constituency.

The Zardari and Sharif families, owing to their clash with the state institutions and cases filed against them, are not in a position to play the role of the opposition.

The new political party is being founded with the aim of providing the government with an effective opposition in parliament.
