Re: PPP government 3 years and counting
You are mistaken about the Swat operation and Bajaur, the Army had tried repeatedly to clear things up they needed political backing..they got that from the PPP and ANP. The Army as a force to put down insurgency is quite weak without political support..what has happened is that the Army doesn’t allow the civilian govt to make any decisions during the post operation because it wants to take all the credit.
Balochistan is in an insurgency situation thanks to Musharraf, unfortunately the FC/Army won’t allow any intiatives to take hold..but the moves have kept the door open in a situation that could have been far worse (apologising for military actions, Balochistan package and 18th amendment)
NFC, all groups made compromises, Shahbaz had no choice to comrpomise unless he wanted the PML-N to be doomed as a provincial party.
Freeing the judges and NRO, the govt flip flopped, but in the end they accepted public pressure..that is what democratic govts do..compared to the previous govt which didn’t do either.
None of this is an excuse for a dismal performance by the PPP but they should be acknowledged.
lets for a moment accept all your arguments just for heck of it. now tell me, after all these justifications, i wonder if you still want to call any of them as “success” ? that was the question at the first place
