I thought in 2013 that we are in new Pakistan already, except a few things such as politics of agitation and refusing to respect others' mandate. I think we have lost that new Pakistan because of the factors mentioned above. Sad, but it seems true. We are now back in 1990s or some say in 1970s.
Credit for the new Pakistan of 2013 went to PTI, credit of where do we stand today (that a very old Pakistan) again goes to PTI for their contradictory actions, statements, stances, and behavior. In 2013 PTI was a hope but turned out to be a regret in 2018. What the PTI politics has done is a great damage in terms of wasting an opportunity to bring the change it once stood for. The PTI politics only allowed PML-N to play victim card and re-emerge as a popular political party. If somebody says today that PTI has actually strengthened the PML-N in the last 4, 5 years, I'd agree with the person.
If one does not agree with the written above then what are the reasons for arm twisting of PML-N candidates? Why are people worried so much about return of NS? Why are people concerned about the protests and unrest of July 13, the announced day of return of NS?
And NS et al. are in a strange position when returning back home. If the protest/rallies turn into unwanted violent events and the political unrest translates into violence this might give the hidden hand a chance to postpone the elections....
If hidden hands have actually played the cards, they've put NS and team to test here. To protest or not to protest is the question for them, since they wouldn't want the postponement of elections.
In my personal opinion NS et al. should protest on streets to an extent that it does not result in chaos, and still helps them winning the highest number of seats in National Assembly (simple majority seems difficult).
