Senate Polls

Re: Senate Polls

So PPP is still the winner after so much halla gulla. With ANP as coalition partner they make more than 2/3 majority to pass any law or block any law. In future even PPP loses elections, it has good majority in Senate to dominate any other party. This reminds me of elections soon after departure of mardood Zia-ul-Haq, when I had debated staunch IJI supporter that BB was going to win. He was so confident (I did not know at that time Mirza Aslam Beg, then CAOS patronized IJI and gave government money considered it as his father’s to IJI and other candidates to defeat PPP, perhaps that person knew this and he was very much confident that IJI was coming to power.) Some times pandit don’t understand the dynamics of Pakistani politics and their views are purely based on prejudism, ISI’s feed back, lack of knowledge, ignorant or purely subjective.

Re: Senate Polls

Oh yes that is true, and he has been CM of Punjab till SS was elected... and they still say, no one cares about South Punjab!!!

Re: Senate Polls

His son was the CM until SS.

However you are right that the clans from South Punjab have ruled Pakistan, its a myth that they South Punjab people have been neglected by Punjab...

Its the other way round, South Punjab people have been neglected by their own jageerdars...

Re: Senate Polls

yaar !!! these Khosas and Lagharies always get me confused..

Re: Senate Polls

anyways, Zulfiqar Khosa has remained governor from August to October 1999 (when Musharraf took over)...

Re: Senate Polls

South Punjab clans like Legharis, Gillanis, Qureishis, Khosas, Doltanas, have always ruled Pakistan in one way or the other.

Re: Senate Polls

If my memory serves me right, there ain't any govt in Pakistan in last 60 years where these are not integral part of it... this the so-called founder and nijat-e-dahinda and the liar who can beat nazis at any day without net practice mehmood duraani, who has been doing politics for south Punjab and Bahawalpur for last 4+ years (since he lost his job as information minister of Mushy), what he did for the region when we was in power??? what laghari did when we was president, or when he was minister of telecom or when we was minister or privatizaion? or when he was part of Bhutto govt or when we was part of dolatana block?

same goes for Khosas, there are so many of them that one cannot even remember their name and almost all of them are in govt, someone is CM or adviser to CM, someone is Governor, someone was part of Zia's cabinet and some were with Bhutto and some with Ayoub... what they did for their area?
