A house of cards

The humour continues. It appears that the formed President is, indeed, serious about his return to national politics. He won't have that vast network of sticks and carrots that his cohorts in the "political management" cell used to set up the Q League anymore (or does he?) but that isn't something that seems to concern him. He is reported to have requested the Chaudhrys to delay the party elections till his two-year bar expires in November. The latter have reportedly have replied that they will still go ahead with it but will cooperate with him whenever he wants to join the party as long as they don't prop the dissidents against him. There is a possibility of the former President joining the party he founded and a certainty that it will not bode well for him. But without going into the travails of the situation, it bears to note that the ruling PPP observed the anniversary of the July 5th coup yesterday. The President reiterated his party's resolve against dictatorship. If that indeed were the case, why have they limited their anger to the generalissimo of '77 and not '99? Rather than facing trial for treason and setting the country's democratic evolution back by decades, the former dictator is going around talking about joining politics and his penchant for being "an empowered President."
