We read in our school books that Alexander’s Greek army had defeated Raja Porus, but refused going beyond Jehlum. Well, its not fair to compare history’s immortal Greek conqueror with Pakistan’s ill-fated ex-Prime Minister – kicked out of office for lying by country’s supreme court. But brining in Jehlum’s role into Nawaz’s journey towards ever increasing defeat is tempting. It’s here, in the beginning of May, that Nawaz’s whirlwind journey across Punjab to woe the voters started to falter.

Though he has since then received a bit of respite in Chishtian, yet, he remains an outdated cast in Pakistan’s political scene, which is moving fast after his pro-India statements and after putting up a lackluster defense in accountability court – he denied ownership of the Avenfield apartments, despite initially claiming on record the “family sources” of its purchase.
Nawaz’s Ignored Slogans in Jhelum are the Start of the Endgame in Punjab
In Jhelum, PML-N was humiliated. The city appears to be on course to elect PTI’s candidate Fawad Chaudhary. The dent in PML-N’s politics in the city had started back in 2015 by-elections when Nawabzada Matloob Mehdi narrowly defeated Fawad Chaudhary. The victory margin of 73,408 votes in 2013 was reduced to only 8,000 votes. The defection to PTI from PML-Q played a major part in turn in his fortunes in 2015 as his votes increased by staggering 118%.

As PTI looks to make the next government, Fawad is favorite to win in Jhelum’s NA-67.
Jhelum was cruel to its past king. The man who ruled Jhelum for decades and enjoyed unparalleled support saw his empire crumbling down. Jhelum dethroned him. Discouraged Nawaz went on to cancel his rallies in Chakwal, and Gujjar Khan. He did turn up finally in Multan, but it remained a lackluster show.

Though, Buner was better, but nowhere near the charged crowed which was at display in Southern Punjab Tehsil Chishtian. The popularity of Nawaz was dwindling especially after his anti-establishment and anti-Pakistan statement in the local daily. With no much public enthusiasm in his previous outings, what changed in Chishtian is intriguing?

Political circus in Pakistan is keeping a good show. Ousted Prime Minister Nawaz is all guns, blazing against the country’s institutions which decided to stay put with all the national and international pressure to offer him NRO-II.

Was it the promised Iftar dinner, which Nawaz Shairf himself announced on stage or something else? He heaped praise at the crowed for showing up in numbers, which may have charged them up to respond strongly to his slogans.
PML-N’s Supreme leader is conducting a ludicrous exercise in cities, and towns, he is visiting. He shamelessly asks people to give verdict on his innocence in corruption cases. It means, if a person gets accused of murder or theft, he should gather people to take vote in his favor to discredit the courts guilty judgment.

Nawaz has practically no way avenues left, [after he announced his crusade against the Pakistani institutions for not allowing him a respectable exit in corruption cases] unless, he gets a last-minute help from international establishment.

After spending 35-years in politics and serving the country on three-occasions and ruling for almost 25-years as Chief Minister and PM, if he is unable to defend himself in courts, he has no right to defend himself in ‘courts of people.’ He has chosen his way, now law of the land will choose its way, which will not be too appealing for a man caught red handed in embezzlement and corruption in front of entire nation, yet he has the audacity to face people and scream on his innocence.
