Re: Pakistan Drama - Is Musharraf-Bhutto conflict all it seems? - BBC
But I don't get it. They stopped her from holding a procession in Pindi citing increased risk of suicide-bombing but they are seemingly happy with her leading a procession from Pindi to Lahore. These bombers I am sure also know how to drive cars...
The authorities haven't actually said if they will allow her rally yet. Btw, the rally is from Lahore to Pindi. Usually it is the other way round. Now why do you think she quite deliberately chose Lahore as her starting point? Nawaz Sharif's rather panicky letter to her should give you a little indication. More of the drama.
Anyhow, in a couple of days time the National Assembly is due to be dissolved, so starting the 90-day process to elections. That will take the wind out of the still budding domestic "movement" against the Emergency and snuff out any international protests at the same time.
