Re: 18th October 2014 , The Pakistan’s future in the hand of young Pakistanis
Of course it will be big, people are being transformed from every part of rural Sindh, as admitted by their own organisers and workers. Matching the number isn’t an issue. But will this jalsa mean that PPP will start playing the role of true opposition, discard all their mukmukkas with Nawaz League, and genuinely hold government accountable on issue, and get them to act? Or are we going to to see another repeat of where Bilawal will put up and his fake bravado, make some chest thumping contagious statement only to have people like Khursheed Shah and Rehman Malik to say to the media the next day that those were the ‘personal’ views of their leader, the party has nothing to do with those views. We saw that happened with his Eid speech, and may speeches before that.
If he’s going to use this jalsa as a platform to make characteristically pathetic, shallow and personal digs at Imran then that would only add to his popularity as Hashmi episode has clearly proved.
If PPP really thinks it will gain any good will or popular support by targeting PTI and attacking them for being an opposition to Nawaz League, then they are tragically delusional and in for another rude awakening. Being a tough opposition sitting government always earns you some credibility and support, but sadly it is PPP who has everything to lose by playing the B team to Nawaz League.
