ISLAMABAD: The ruling party PML-N has accomplished the plan to make hue and cry and to create atmosphere of pandemonium in the Parliament during the speech of PTI’s chief Imran Khan today (Wednesday).

Whereas, on the other hand the trick played by Pakistan People’s Party on the floor of house during Nawaz Sharif’s speech has made annoyed PTI as well as PML (Q). The PPP provided space to the government to avoid any noisy scene to be created by PTI in the assembly.

Opposition leader Khurshid Shah has also succeeded in creating differences between the opposition.

Both the opposition parties PTI and PML (Q) have understood the double game of PPP as the string of PPP is in the hand of Asif Ali Zardari and he is in contact with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif through Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman and Rehman Malik.

The former president Zardari has played his cards cleverly and forced Tehreek-i-Insaf to apart its way from the joint opposition in a way the PPP would not be blamed. On the other hand Chaudhary Pervez Elahi of PML (Q) seems to be angry with PPP on double crossing the joint opposition. He also emphasized on the point that joint opposition should evolve a combined strategy on new questions.

In the “fixed match” between opposition and PPP, the major players of the game are Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and former President Asif Ali Zardari. In spite of desire of Nawaz Sharif to hold midterm elections, but Asif Zardari forbade him to do so because he wants that PML (N) should complete its tenure and PPP may get a chance to make preparedness for the next general elections.

The Chairman PTI has an intent to reply comprehensively the allegations levelled against him about the off-shore companies today (Wednesday) in the National Assembly, while PML (N) has also prepared to make hubbub in the house during his speech and those PML (N) leaders that are disreputable for speaking loudly including Khawaja Asif, Saad Rafiq, Daniyal Aziz, Talal Chaudhary and Captain Safdar would try to prevent Imran Khan from completing his speech.

The real endeavour of Mian Nawaz Sharif, Asif Ali Zardari and Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman’s politics is to make Imran Khan unaccompanied and make him unpopular among the people before 2018 elections.

Imran Khan face double threat, one is the internal differences between rank and files of the PTI and other the cunning moves from two major parties notorious for doing negative politics.

After seeing the ‘Captain’ standing behind Khurshid Shah, the both Nawaz Sharif and Asif Zardari got the satisfaction of their ego and if PTI would continue to remain in the joint opposition, Imran Khan would be left alone by the pessimistic manoeuvres of both PPP and PML (N).
