Tribune Take: PML-N's past might haunt the party in Sindh
PML-N's historic backing of projects like Kalabagh damn will make it hard to win votes in Sindh, says Tunio.
In today’s episode of the Tribune Take we take a look at Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif's latest rally in Sindh.
Hafeez Tunio, reporter The Express Tribune, says the PML-N is trying to change the perception that it is only a Punjab-centric political party by campaigning in Sindh as well.
At the rally in Larkana, the party chief said if he comes to power the first thing he will do is to arrest Benazir Bhutto’s killers. Rebuking the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Nawaz said that four years have passed since Benazir’s murder but her own party’s government has failed to arrest the killers.
Tunio says even with such rhetoric votes are going to be very hard to come by for the PML-N. He says since the PML-N has a history of backing mega-projects such as the Kalabagh dam, which are perceived to be anti-Sindh, Sharif will have a tough time winning seats from Sindh.
