Re: How many politicians will relocate overseas before the next election?

So in other words you are saying. Zardari is corrupt but its cool and Sharif being corrupt is not cool?

Re: How many politicians will relocate overseas before the next election?

^^^ I think you are assuming too much. I am not saying what you are implying.

I am only saying that on this forum (and also in Pakistani media) many people are full of 'tasub' and are keeping quiet (or would not like to see truth) about corruption of one (Nawaz) but crowing a lot about corruption of other (Zardari), when both are equally corrupt.

If I had tasub (partiality) in me, I would have also done the same, crow about the corruption of one and keep quiet about the corruption of other.

[It seems when it comes to Nawaz Shareef, some people in Pakistani media as well as many on forums follow the principle: The person is son of a B* but I would prefer to keep quiet or would not say anything about the person because he is son of our B*].

Au contraire! You do have it. Which is why you were busy fudging up the number to predict Musharraf and PML(Q) would win big time in 2008. Remember the flawnalysis? :)

And you still continue to pander his case every chance you get despite all his wrongs.

Nothing personal, just setting the record straight. You aren't holier than the others. You too have the "tasub".

Re: How many politicians will relocate overseas before the next election?

The math to the OP's question is really simple:

Anyone that does not get to be a part of the Govt., is in fear of being investigated for corruption/scams, will flee the country. Anyone. From MNA/MPA to bigger crooks. They all like to keep a backdoor open, just in case.

My prediction was pre-‘protruding from hole to successfully get killed’ action by BB. Anyhow, PMLQ still got second highest votes in election (8 million votes), and to beat them in election it took 2 parties (PPP and PMLN) joining strength, Media supports full of propaganda, Supports of religiously retards, Voters love of getting screwed by their exploiters, plus death of BB.

Anyhow, prediction can be wrong, and that is why it is called prediction, not outcome or result.

Pandering? ... Pandering to whom and for whom? ...... for You to Musharraf or for Musharraf to you?

Maybe you are right and maybe not. Anyhow, I do keep questioning myself when giving comments on others, that if I am fair (equally fair to all) or my comments and treatments of others are results of Tasub. But then, people who have tasub do not realise that unless they are told or question themselves, and I am no Angel.

I think this is very true. I sometime watch a program on Geo TV, hum sub ummeed se hein. The writer there is always making fun of Zardari and every other politician ... Zardari specially. But he never makes fun of Nawaz or Shahbaz. They are hardly present in any of his skits, and when they are present then it is only to make the other person in skit look bad.

Sharifs have played the provincial card just like many other politicians in the country. Somtimes even worse. For example in the case of power crisis where they are blaming non-Punjabis to somehow taking revenge. Even Imran says that Sharifs are more or equally responsible for this crisis themselves. Yet even those who support PTI are ignoring Imran and going along with provincialism of Sharifs.

Re: How many politicians will relocate overseas before the next election?

^^^You are absolutely right. When it comes to corruption and nepotism, even judges of Punjab high courts are full of tasub. Recently on TV, NAB chairman said that NAB has not dropped corruption cases of Nawaz but are restricted to act as Punjab high court stopped NAB from pursuing cases on Nawaz corruption.

Most TV anchors, especially those from Punjab (or having background from there), they portray Shareefs on TV as if they are Angels. Actually, I have noticed some anchors even taking evasive actions by changing or twisting topics when anyone start mentioning corruptions and wrong doings of Punjab government or criticising Shareefs.

Many times I have seen some Anchors argument in taking evasive actions to protect PMLN, Shareef brothers, or Punjab government is that making comment ... ‘If they have done something wrong then does it mean PPP should also do that?’

If I was in the program I would have said to the anchor that ‘valid reason or not, if you think that something is wrong then criticize and scrutinise all who are involved or no one. You cannot make selective judgements, selective scrutiny, or do selective criticism’.

^ A fantastic case of selective memory. Also forgetting that only until a couple of years ago, a certain Bhai was totally 'immune' from any criticism or parody on TV channels, otherwise their offices would get ransacked and personnel harmed.

Anyways, PPP is in government, and should take actions when PML(N) guys are involved in corruption. Magar haram khor, haram khor ko kaisey pakray ga?

Also forgetting that it is the government in sitting that is criticized most, anywhere in the world. If those who are responsible to curb corruption are themselves involved in mega-haram-khori, that is news, major news.

Regarding the topic, still nothing about those who are permanently located abroad and plunder locally.
