‘N’ forward bloc comes out in open with 27 members

LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-N Punjab Assembly member Laila Muqaddas on Thursday came forward with a forward group and announced to support Pakistan People’s Party in the province.

Addressing a joint press conference with PPP central leader Qasim Zia here, Laila claimed to have support of 27 PML-N members in Punjab Assembly. She said Sharif brothers were playing to the gallery and that both had lost mass support.

NS was boasting the support of PML-Q's forward bloc. As you sow, so shall you reap.

Raazi: Personally I disagree with this move. IMHO they must first resign from their respective seat (won on PML-N's ticket) and then recontest the elections.

@ Abdul

Ideally I agree with you !
But realistically that's what politics is all about in Pakistan.
Horse-trading and Lotacracy !
It was Nawaz League which created Q-League's forward bloc and now it's PPP's turn to have a forward bloc in Nawaz League !

@ Razi

You are right in saying "As you sow, so shall you reap.
" !!!

@Socrate, "realistically that's what politics is all about in Pakistan." I agree. And that's a shame.

After PML(Q) and PML(N), now it is PPP,s turn to lose a significant number of LOTAS in Punjab assembly.

Hey Abdul , yar thanks for Justin. lol


people dont get your blood pressure shoot. Forward Block and corruption. Shahbaz Sharif made first "forward Block" in Punjab in PML-Q. If that was made by giving Ders e Koran to MPA, consider same ws done by PPP.
You cant expect PPP , not to play the game Shahbaz Sharif started

Sherry, lol@blood pressure shoot. I guess you are right.

Some of the above contributors accuse PML-N for creating a forward bloc within PML-Q.

Two points I would like to mention here:

1. PML-Q (the Kings party or 'Qatil League' as our current president described it once) was/is by itself a FORWARD BLOC created against PML-N.

2. How can this behavior be used as a justification for what PPP is up to lately, even if we assume that PML-N had a hand in creating the forward bloc in Q-League.

@anonymous, two points:

1. PML-N itself is a forward bloc created from PML-Junejo at the behest of General Zia-ul-Haq.

2. Your point valud. Two wrongs don't make a right. That's why we should condemn both PML-N and PPP for doing horsetrading. Nobody can claim to be a principled politician in this mess.

@ Raazi

With reference to your points above:

1. I tend to agree with you, but PML-N has since then (1980s) established itself as the "mainstream PML".

(Having said this, I don't condone what Mr Nawaz Sharif did against Mr Junejo -- in fact, what he did was utter wrong, ethically speaking, two decades ago in 80's.)

In the same way, I don't see PPP as a forward bloc of then Ayub Khan government (as some might like to). (Mr Bhutto, as we all know, was a senior member of Mr Khan's team).

2. Forward blocs, in general, do a great disservice to democracy and the country: they try to hijack the political landscape for their financial benefits or ministerial positions or otherwise. Should these people have a "change of heart", they should first resign from their MNA/MPA seats and run again based on their enlightened views.
