The ‘shoey’ Side of Politics

Malik Qayoom!
Maybe someone can help solve this riddle. Could be that only President has the ability to fire the attorney general and the PPP has no balls to ask mush to do that.

I was reading one statement from Sherry Rehman and I realized that the reason they can't just do away with the Pemra or NAB ordinances is that President has to sign on the legislation. He may sign the amendments but they just don't have it in them to ask him to take them back.
I think the PPP wants to avoid confrontation with Mush or they have been told not to confront him.

hp,

... no i think they are keeping malik qayoom around since he is the point man in all the nab cases against zardari - they want him to finish his job before he retires or accepts an ambassadorship to chad ........

.... look, i don't think musharraf is going anywhere - the deal has been done on the plus-2 formula ..... nawaz sharif will make a lot of noise but in the end he will declare victory for 'reinstating' the cj and reluctantly accept musharraf as the president ........ he might surprise us by telling zardari to take a hike and withdraw from the center in which case zardari will tem up with the q-league and mqm ...... there is a lot at stake - bmw's, plots, palaces in dubai, grade 11 jobs in pwd ......... nobody wants to give all that up - god knows when they will get another chance !

Hamid,
Zardari got in to power and he will try to keep it even when that means licking NS's balls or eating resign-no-i-take-it-back maverick's dirty sh1t.

Seriously the issue is that PPP has to look after the issues in Sindh, specially unemployment and law and order etc. He will make every deal that keeps his party in power. The PPP will not make a sudden or a radical move.
So just watch the game!

well i think zardari will have to choose to work with the PML(N) and MQM. And he will choose MQM. Because if PPP allies with MQM, they still have the 2/3 majority in the NA as required.

hp,

... the problem with 'watching the game' is that nothing gets done in this atmosphere of uncertainity when everyone feels things can change any minute ....... everyone is busy playing politics and trying to make hay while the sun shines - nothing meaningful gets done and tahmed's beloved unwashed masses continue to get screwed .... it would be nice if they can resolve these issues and put in a government that knows it will last five years and will be accountable to the people .........

nomansiddiqui,

Another muttarwa chutya.

Because if PPP allies with MQM, they still have the 2/3 majority in the NA as required.

How? Can you count idiot?

One thing I absolutely hate is these morons coming on FP and talking nonsense.

HP, the executive authority still rests with the president through the PCO of 3rd November. It hasn't been revoked. It will be within a week.

Does that solve your riddle?

#131 Posted by HP,

I agree with this post. PPP has a lot of responsibility on its shoulders, and is in a very tight spot. I'm sure they're playing the game carefully and patiently. Because if they don't PML-N will eat them up (which they will in any case, but that's another argument).

zeemax,

......... do you really think musharraf is going this year? .... i don't think so - ppp will keep him around regardless of nawaz sharif ...... a deal is a deal - and kiyani is part of it ......

As I said before, in that case, chowk is not a representative sample. Here, the ahl-e-zubaan can give a run for his atthianee to any gama-majha from gawalmandi.

I might agree with you re. refined culture if you were talking about Lukhnow or Allahabad but not the entire bhaiya land. I do not know about karachi but if you were to see the namoonas of bhaiya culture that Delhi is teeming with these days, refined is not the first word that would come to your mind.

Har cheez chorro, The real question is will khassilullah betichod burbur (presumably the one who will drive the bus service to the arabian sea) descend from the sky with tampax's jihadi thokoo's and the shireen jinnah homeboys in a toyota 4*4? So many questions not many answers...

Re: # 113; hamidm sahib [.... to give you another example: what are the first few questions a punjabi asks you ?
" thuwadee zaat ki ai ?"
" ai koti thuwadee apne ai ?"
.... once he has determined whether you are a arain or a lowly jaat]

don't even think about getting me started on 'arains' hamidm sahib!!!! they should be left with their 'ganday di fasal' and to enjoy themselves!

just look at Amir-ul-momineen (Zia) and Mian Tufail combo and you'd know what I mean!

'lowly jaat', who are you calling a lowly jaat eh!! There is no need to get personal hamidm sahib.

and I thought you were an educated man!!

Re: # 139; DM ji

Punjabi bashing is our national sport; done more by Punjabis themselves!

When one is comfortable in one's skin, these things become increasingly immaterial, I reckon.

btw Vaisaakhi mubarak!

Hamid mian,

Finally, it seems that you and urstruly are converging on a similar note

[.. i think as a nation we are ready for public guillotines, hangings, beheadigs and ritual stonings ........ i can feel the rush ! ]
