Re: Independent TV channels in Pakistan taken off air
I would not be surprised if present government set up comes back to power after next election, with much larger majority. I would not be surprised if votes of opposition would reflect what they show today when they protest against government (I mean Zilch) . Every one in Pakistan knows what support people like NS, BB or MMA have today in Pakistan. :)
MMA shows their strength regularly when they call for Million march and that ends up as joke.
PPP showed their strength when Asif Ali Zardari landed in Pakistan then kicked out. There strength was also exposed when Chief Justice Fiasco was going on this year.
Support with PML (N) and NS was evident when he landed in Pakistan and suppose to be million people receiving him ended with a bust (I think Shahbaz when he landed in Pakistan, managed better reception, shows that if not huge still there was some support for PML(N) few years back ).
Support of combined opposition was exposed during Chief Justice fiasco this year, when in a country of 160 million people, government did not found any necessity to take extra measures to keep law and order under control. How pathetic was the protest, that combined support of opposition plus Lawyers and Journalists in a country of 160 million people, where Politicians, Lawyers, Journalists behave like wild animals, nothing unusual happened and government did not bothered to take any unusual measures :).
