**JP** another form of Azab-e-Elahi

Shameless nawaz & co., who are in love with the brahmans and vajpayee & sons., had been hiding in his bill when a war is being waged, and now instead of standing against criminals, he suddenly seems to have gotten an anti-military injection...good for him, he has ruined the country before, now he will ruin his career, for good, and we all will be  very thankful for his permanent departure, another form of azab-e-Elahi...

Punjab's 'Gubru sher' tangles with the Army

I woke up this morning to a Punjabi song "Main unh gabru sher Punjab da". It reminded me ofNawaz Sharif's latest "haa bakree' "Burrkhees". Like Maula Jat Nawaz Sharif wants thePakistani Army to end what he calls its "India-centric obsession". "End your domination of foreign policy if you wish the criticism to end". Mr. Sharif knows that the Army will not tolerate being attacks as in institution so he was careful with his words "The army is under the domination of a handful of people with a specific mindset". It is ironic the that worst criticism of the Army is coming from the heartland of the Punjab–Lahore (or Raiwind to be more precise).

Mr. Sharif loves Vajpayee and the Indians because it helps him build his business. Keeping his audience in mind his words need to be taken with a grain of salt. Mr. Sharif was speaking at the headquarters of the South Asian Free Media Association (SAFMA) in Lahore. Mr. Sharif called upoin the GHQ to abandon its hold on the foreign policy of the country, especially its "India-centric obsession", and its inability to tolerate criticism. He then began his rheotric about the so called sabotage and the so called invasion of Kargil.

He reiterated the PML-N policy of adherence to the strategy of normalizing relations with India as a corollary of its stance on Pakistan's status as a nuclear power. Mr Sharif has expressed his determination to continue his post-1998 policy with India on many occasions.

The question is whether the PMLN is currying favor with the Americans or the Indian? Or is the Sharif rhetoric simply pointed an Army Chief who is battered and facing a tsunami of criticism. Mr. Sharif wants to own this war on terror. This run contrary to Saleem Shehzad's new book in which he wanted Pakistan not to own the American war.

Mr. Shairf's part is now known as the GT Road Party between Pindi and Lahore. South Punjab is pretty much up in arms against what is calls the Takht-e-Lahore's dictatorship. Mr. Sharif's anti-Army rhetoric will get him trouble in his province. His right-wing party has more traction within a Punjabi-dominated army than the PPP. However there are limits to the criticism to which the population will accept.   rupeenews.com
