Re: Parvez Elahi for PM?
Here’s an interesting article!
**Punjab’s Parvez Elahi bids for PM, Aziz not amused.
**Lahore, Oct 28 (IANS) Pakistani Punjab’s Chief Minister Pervaiz Elahi is making an independent bid to become the country’s prime minister after next year’s general elections, raising the hackles of incumbent Shaukat Aziz and other policymakers of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q).
** Elahi has launched his campaign ‘at full throttle’ to fulfil his ‘long-cherished dream of grabbing the slot of the prime minister’.**
** ‘Obsessed with his wish to outrun the Sharifs in political credentials and achievements, Pervaiz Elahi is having daydreams of repeating (former prime minister) Nawaz Sharif’s success story,’ the newspaper said.**
‘The significance of lobbying in the US, especially with blatant Uncle Sam’s intervention in the politics of Pakistan, has multiplied over the years. Lobbying is a little-known phenomenon for (Elahi), whose politics have got more to do with local manoeuvering,’ The News maintained.
