Cashing the pro-Taliban & Anti Amry Sentiment
There are very valid (in PML-ns terms) reasons why it refuses to openly criticise or accept the existence of Punjabi (Punjab based) terrorist outfits.
The last election and the upcoming election campaign will be based on enticing the anti Army, anti American voters.
In Punjab specially Pindi and Islamabad PML-N cashed on the anti Army, pro-Talibanism after the Lal Mosque operation which was blessing for its leadership it used it to it full.
the Sherif brothers benefited and reeked the rewards better than jamiat Islami which was hopping to cash in after the Lal Mosque operation.
Saudi influence on Moderate Sunni Muslims
Like the analyst in the posts above have noted, PMLn will never like to alienate the pro-fanatic & hate based religion mindset of our middle class that has surfaced since the “Islamisation” of Gen Zia Al Haq that started influencing the otherwise moderate Beralvi, sufi Sunni Muslims with the Saudi Salafi faith of intolerance & hatred which is slowly turning the majority sunni population into intolerant society where there is no room for any other sect or religion.
Safeguarding the Vote bank
Lets not deny the fact that we have among ourselves many people who hold grudge against other sects & religion and that’s what the Taliban & Sipah Sahabah have managed to channel into extreme violence against moderate Sunnis in general & other sectarian & religious minorities. the people in this group include well off middle class as well as completely despondent peasants & farmers living below poverty line but this is like a wild card and can swing either way. PMLn has to wrestle these voters from Jamiat Islami & Imran Khan’s PTI (who justifies beheading of captives on the Pakhtunwali custom, & refuses to condemn Taliban terror).
I can predict and Bet that Sherif brothers will stay put and continue to support Sipah Sahabah implicitly the path way to power in the next elections is based on
1. Provincialism
2. family or baradry
3. the PPP’s incompitency & plundering
4. Anti Army sentiment re Lal Mosque (new form of Anti Musharaf)
5. Soft corner to outright support of Secterian outfits
What remains to be seen is if this policy is out of love for these sectarian terrorists that are waging the war against the state or if this unholy alliance is out of convenience to get to power
