Karachi : Mumtaz Bhutto has announced that he is joining Nawaz Sharif''s PML'N' and critics are predicting that this may provide a solid base for Nawaz Sharif in Sindh.
Experience shows that PPP has been only single party in the history of Pakistan which has remain solid and unbreakable since its birth.
Mumtaz Bhutto was a founder of PPP who gave main support to his cousin Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto in forming the PPP but since the death of Zulifqar Ali Bhutto he tried to took over PPP but was denied by Benazir Bhutto.
Mumtaz Bhutto's loyalty with Nawaz Sharif was evident when former prime minister Benazir Bhutto’s government was dismissed in 1996 on charges of corruption and bad governance by her erstwhile party loyalist, then President Farooq Leghari, the establishment chose Mumtaz Ali Bhutto as caretaker chief minister of Sindh.
The establishment’s plan was to manipulate the general election in a manner that the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) remained out of power.
The plan was executed successfully and the PPP lost the elections. Nawaz Sharif came to power at the center and Mumtaz Bhutto grudgingly gave way to Liaquat Ali Jatoi to form the government in Sindh.
Though no signs of propelling out PPP from Sindh but still Mumtaz Bhutto’s decision to merge his Sindh National Front (SNF) with the Pakistan Muslim League-N might actually propel him into the power corridors.
It is very astonishing though that, Mr Bhutto has never missed an opportunity to attack the PPP and Punjab. In a recent interview, he said the “smaller nationalities” were under occupation by Punjab and until this occupation ended, the nationalities would not get their rights.
Let's see how Nawaz Sharif uses this card to get grasp of power in Sindh too, although PPP has history of deflecting leaders like Khar's, Sherpao's, Legari's, and Mumtaz Bhutto which never made any significant impact on her workers to deflect from main party, let's see what results this new alliance.
