@Saad Durrani: You are right and funny! Regards, Mirza
Diesel to support yellow taxies – not surprising at all.
@Surreya: The world will now become extra cautious and on their toes on this alliance.
@Mirza: Correct.
@Surreya: Excellent
With Fazlur, Jamat Islami, Rana Sanaullah (and his relative Chief Justice Iftikhar releasing Malik Ishaq and other terrorists from jails) all one under Saudi flag, the PML (N) for sure quickly becoming a Taliban and Al-Qaeda's political wing in Pakistan.
Does this mean their long and bitter fight for the senate leader of the opposition is finally over? Or like many other rightwing alliance it is dead upon arrival? All the tough talk of PML-N against the army is over with the alliance with the army tout mullah Fazal. These rightwing parties cannot contest any elections without the support of each other. On their own they are all big nothing.
Intrigues will now start after the entrance of "Fazal" in this Grand March (grand alliance). It is interesting to note that all these leaders have their own personal interests (business like) and as such has nothing to do with the interest of the country.
PPP can now rest assured there never will be a "grand alliance"!
