My guess is that tomorrow PML-N members will walkout of the committee and blame the other parties for the deadlock, saying that they couldn't bargain on their "principled stand" (of my way or the highway). Their track record says precisely that. They really are not sincere with a resolution here, otherwise they would have picked saner elements like Ishaq Dar, and not the touts of Ch. Nisar for the committee.
Brinkmanship!
Fakhru bhai is like a next batsman in, sitting in the shed, with two balls remaining and two runs to score, he is just hoping that he does not have take a walk to the crease to face the last ball!!!
As I said yesterday.. they will take full three days to complete the bargain. We will get the result by tomorrow. Don't panic Fakhru Bhai!!!
