Re: Takht e Lahore

So Jamali was a Baloch president but we all no the plight of the Baloch. It does not matter if you have a Chief Minister from a particular area - it does not make it a representative and egalitarian system. There are huge differences in Northern Punjab and Southern Punjab, not to forget Northern Punjab and the other provinces. Northern Punjab is more developed.

The way Punjab is treated with others is different - has there never really been a military operation there?

I am by no means a fan of the PPP but the way the PPP and its supporters and viewed by people from Northern Punjab and even on this forum simply because they do not have a strong enough presence there shows there is an element of discrimination. Pepople out of North Punjab simply do not understand the appeal of the PPP in most of Pakistan. They are to an extent seen as traitors even though they are the only party which unites most Pakistan (for better or for worse).

On the other hand it maybe that politicians from Northern Punjab are fairer, less corrupt and more organised in terms of development. Personally I feel it is a mix of everything. Maybe Punjab is more developed because it was the region more loyal to the British in Pakistan and it was there the British centred the power and as Pakistan came aout in 1947, we never moved on from there.

PPP is seen as the people’s party everywhere except for Northern Punjab, and it is the only party that unites Pakistan? Is that right…

The rest of your post is pretty much everything you always type everytime you post.
