I really want this guy to continue as the PMLN party leader and if possible opposition leader as well, it will be so much easier for PTI with him as their main rival.

Quaid-e-Azam Sani i.e YLH never seize to amaze does he. Perhaps his knowledge of our history is as flawed as his fellowship at Harvard. In 1988 elections, PPP won 94 seats out of 207, still formed a coalition government with the help of Fazlur rehmen and MQM. In 1993 their score was even worse...

hahaha no sir, in fact entirety of India was never ruled by foreign empires, there were always a petty kingdom or rajwara here or there that remained free. But the fact of the matter is Muslim dynasties remained the dominant force in India for better part of 800 years. I call only when I see...

Sir but around 80% of the Pakistanis think they are descendants of Arab, Turks or Iranians and had nothing to do with Indus civilization. Other than Rajputs and Jats, I am yet to meet a Punjabi clan that does not trace its lineage from Bukhara, Syria or some other distant place. Baluchs say they...

Does this number of 158 include the 4 seats vacated by Khan and 1 by Ghulam Sarwar. Otherwise it will mean 153 seats in total, which makes getting to 172 that much difficult. But then I don't think they will require 172 for now to get to simple majority, as elections were not held on 2 seats(...

I for one completely support Indian government's move to strip illegals of citizenship, after all that is what we in Pakistan especially in KPK and Baluchistan have been asking of our government. And I just love the fact that Indians have chosen 71 as the cut off year, that was the time most...

You are counting Fata twice. The thing in S. Punjab is that whether intentionally or by mistake, PTI has fielded some weak candidates against independents like Jamshed Dasti etc. So I will not be surprised if Independents end up getting around 10 of those 45 seats, then PPP is still looking...

I said it will be a suicide for the PTI to form coalition with PPP, I was not talking about PMLN-PPP coalition. But one has to say that forming a coalition with MR. 10%, as the league calls him, will have an impact on PMLN vote bank. Bibi's assassination, struggle against military rule provided...

That will depend upon on whether those independents join the PTI party, like what they did in 2013 when they joined with PMLN or they form a Jeep kind of group and then join the government as a coalition partner. PTI is sure to form a government in KPK, and with pending KPK-FATA merger many of...

Sure PSP will be a natural ally of PTI for obvious reasons, but I don't think they will be getting more than 4-5 NA seats from Karachi. They have a nuisance value and may take a chunk of Mohajir vote bank and hence make MQM a smaller player than it was in 2013 with 19 seats. PPP which got just...

This one is pretty close to what might actually be the result. PTI will be 30-35 seats short of the required 137 seats. BAP being the king's party will surely join PTI, they are sure to get 5-6 seats from Baluchistan. But still PTI will require one more 2nd tier party to form a coalition along...

This just shows how insensitive Punjabis can get. I don't think he meant to disrespect Karachites, he is there to win votes not offend people. But this coarse Punjabi humor often portrays us as racist. Unless the whole sentence was that "We have transformed Khota eating "Lhore" and now we will...

Exactly. May be 1 seat from Baluchistan after Jamali joined PTI. 2 out of 3 from Islamabad. But they won't get more than 2 seats from Sindh i.e in Karachi, and even thats a maybe. So in best case scenario they will be getting 5 seats from provinces other than KPK and Punjab. And while 30 in...

There is no need for donations, just pay your taxes. Pakistan is a country not a charity. And if Pakistan can build Diamer-Bhasha costing $1.3 Billion without international monetary support (because it was located in GB) Kalabagh for which World Bank is ready to provide financing for, will be...

In my view the enemy is working on multiple fronts. One is of course denying us water security, but at the same time creating ethnic rift in the country. And in case of Kalabagh we have to compromise on one to solve the other issue. KPK and Sindh has reservations about the project, most of them...

Brother while Punjabi population share in Pakistan is on decline since 47, Punjab will remain Punjabi at-least for next one hundred years if not more. It is because of the massive Punjabi population of the country. Karachi on the other hand is not a Sindhi majority city, in fact Sindhis are only...

Supporting N-League or PTI is a different matter. Agencies really don't have as much clout as sometimes we feel they do in deciding a national election, as you have pointed out about 2008's disastrous campaign of PMLQ. But the kind of support MQM and PKMAP received is another ball game all...

You did not get the point sir. In the 80's SinduDesh was a secessionist movement led by GM Syed which wanted to create a free country out of Sindh. MQM was propped up as a counter to it by the establishment to showcase Sindh as a multi-ethnic province where Urdu speaking population are a major...

For two reasons actually. One Punjabis were present in Baluchistan for a very long time, initially they were there for government jobs during the British and early post partition era, later they moved to Quetta for establishing businesses. By early 2000 most of the menial laborers like barbers...

He is again a product of shortsightedness of our establishment. This is no secret that this man and his PKMAP has been propped up by the establishment during the last two decades. Objective was to diffuse the Baloch secessionist movement and sentiment by showcasing Baluchistan as a multi-ethnic...
