Quite a disaster, one would say, that an agricultural country runs short of domestic wheat demand. Add to it, the fact that some projected a mega bumper crop this year; based on which the powers that be, exported our actual wheat produce to other countries. End result, queues of people at stores, short fall of wheat supply to flour mills and typical hoarding and looting scenarios that follow any shortage in our society. But the big question is; does all the hoo-haa of post election triumphant politicians actually amount to anything tangible for the people?
Just yesterday, heard my dad comment that if the people think Asif Zardari is better than you, then you must have done something really really terrible. It may also means that our people unfortunately suffer from long term memory loss, as they conveniently forget doings of the corrupt and invite them on stage for another round.
I'm kind of sad for Makhdoom Amin Fahim, who might have even seriously listed down things he will do first after becoming PM. But he has just become the first victim of this twisted game of politics. I have a feeling that slowly everyone around BB will slowly become sidelined while Mr Z is in charge of the party.
The Sharif's on the other hand probably suffer from another dilemma; they raised the restoration of judges slogan so many times, that now they can't back down from it. But at the same time, the PPP cannot afford to get into confrontation with the President and risk losing the power they have secured after a very very long time. They don't have any other martyrs left to sacrifice next time around for a sympathy vote.
