There is uncertainty in the country at the moment as the present Government had failed to perform its political role in containing the crisis created by it’s own leader.

There is uncertainty in the country at the moment as the present Government had failed to perform its political role in containing the crisis created by it’s own leader.

A naïve man Nawaz Sharif had been inducted in politics in 1980s to counter the growing influence of late Benazir Bhutto. But he failed to perform as a politician. He was found a better businessman and industrialist as he minted more money by misusing the official powers of the state in multiplying his industrial units.

He was so desperate that he violated his Government’s laws and shifted two sugar mills from Central Punjab to Southern Punjab—the area earmarked for producing grains only. Desperate to earn more and more money, he shifted two sugar mills to the Southern Punjab and the Superior judiciary had finally ordered to dismantle the sugar mills from Southern Punjab.

The mills were owned by Sharif Family and it was an embarrassment for the sitting Prime Minister for being involved in a dirty scandal. Imran Khan agitated against his misrule and staged protest rallies in Islamabad for more than100 days.

Later on he was involved in Dawn Leaks when the Government Ministers were found leaking the top security discussion to a newspaper only to embarrass the Pakistan Army with a specific charge that it was alleged exporting terror.

It had brought a bad name for the country as Pakistan was accused of involvement in subversion in neighbouring countries. Why the PML leaders did this? No one knows. The Dawn leak issue is yet to be settled and responsibility is yet to be specifically fixed on top PML leader.

Later on the Prime Minister was found in money-laundering scandal in Panama Leaks in which he was ultimately disqualified and forced to resign the post of Prime Minister. Since then, he is in state of shock and yet to come out of the shock of his life.

The present Government is facing the deeper crisis and it was unable to take the country out of the crisis. N Leaguers are themselves are violating the laws and involved in hooliganism to obstruct the process of accountability.

The events at the Accountability Court confirmed that the N Leaguers planned the move to disrupt the court proceedings and bring the presiding officer under pressure and delay the process to frame charges against the ‘royal couple’. Additional Advocate General of Punjab was seen in the picture slapping the Police officer on duty when they were stopped to enter the court room. The N-League Lawyers were used to create chaos at the accountability court.

There were more than a dozen Ministers and MNAs present at the scene to supervise the event to ensure that the court proceedings are disrupted.

Where was the Government? Why the Government had not taken action against its supporters? The Government had failed to deliver and proved incompetent to deal with state affairs, including maintenance of public order outside the courts. It is the duty of the Government to protect sanctity of the courts in all circumstances.

The Government is supposed to deal with economy, address security issues, should play a role in securing peace and security in the region. It should confront India on all fronts on Kashmir dispute.

The Indian aggressive designs are known to all and only the ruling politicians are unaware about it as they have their own priorities instead of devoting their energy on national security.

In the present context, the PML-N had lost its credentials to rule the country following its disruptive approach to create chaos and confusion and divert the attention of the people to personal and petty issues. Following the threat to Iran by the US President Trump, tension had mounted in the Gulf region where massive US fleet is present on the vast Mekran Coast adjacent to Gwadar.

The N leaguers are found more interested to bring back Nawaz Sharif to power by all means as his political survival is given more importance than to national security and integrity.
