@afzaal khan:
Unlike y'all, when have I or any of my other like minded bloggers claimed that the political leaders we support comprises some sort of a religious deity who is the fountain of righteousness and piety. I am sorry for causing ulcers to y'all but unless a spade is called a spade, you folks would be a bucket load of jokes.
@Adnan Siddiqi
Fine PTI is bad, your lot who doesn't get tired of telling us how virtuous you are why you stooping so low? You stones and glass houses etc etc ?:P
Diametrically opposite philosophies forming electoral alliance, who are these people?
@afridi:
Indeed the credit should also go to PTI for forming an alliance with Aftab Sherpao who was Musharraf's Interior Minister and under whose watch Lal Masjid debacle unfolded. Not to mention JI which was a junior coalition partner of the same despicable JUI in KPK back in the MMA days and was equally responsible for shoving the province into the dark ages and not doing didly squat when NATO was merrily running a logistical supply line into Afghanistan then.
shameful alIiance
So much for the so-called secular liberal party, the ANP.
Hahaha wat a funny game pakistani politics is.. ANP n JUI-F alliance !!!!!
Ideology … what?
Wow .... an extreme leftist party in alliance with an extreme rightist …!!
I guess its survival mode for the two opportunists …. Their ever decaying support has made them desperate !
PTI must be doing something right !!
I think this should be a reminder to those who divide Pakistan's political parties into pro-Taliban and anti-Taliban forces that desire to seek power trumps all ideologies. It is even more disappointing coming from a party who has made so many sacrifices fighting for a liberal Pakistan.
In the name of National interest...maulana and ANP interest
Strange bed fellows. Never thought that it will be such a climb down for ANP.
