Pakistan PM says plot to derail democracy will fail
2014-10-05
His plot or someone else's?
His plot is not a plot...
[Khaleej Times] Addressing a gathering at the site of development projects being undertaken in Murree on Friday, Nawaz Sharif
... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf...
expressed confidence his government would overcome all odds it faced at present and make Pakistain a welfare state.

He said the hill resort will have a university of international standards, a modern hospital and water supply from Kohala.

A large number of people gathered to see Sharif when he visited the under-construction building of General Post Office on The Mall. The building is being restored to its original British era design of over 100 years old.

Later, talking to his party leaders and workers of the local chapter he said that all promises made during the election campaign with the people of Murree would be fulfilled.

Meanwhile Pakistain People's Party (PPP) Co-Chairman and former president Asif Ali Zardari has said that some people are trying to cash in on the current political crisis by holding large public meetings.

In an obvious reference to PTI chief Imran Khan
... aka Taliban Khan, who ain't the sharpest bulb on the national tree...
, who is attracting massive crowds at public rallies, Zardari said the people attend them to voice their resentment against the government and increase in electricity prices than for any love for (Imran) whose sit-in has flopped.

The former president who flew into Lahore for a week's stay in a bid to revive sagging spirits of his party leaders and workers in Punjab where it has almost been wiped out, was talking to newsmen after a meeting with Jamaat-e-Islami
...The Islamic Society, founded in 1941 in Lahore by Maulana Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, aka The Great Apostosizer. The Jamaat opposed the independence of Bangladesh but has operated an independent branch there since 1975. It maintains close ties with international Mohammedan groups such as the Moslem Brotherhood. the Taliban, and al-Qaeda. The Jamaat's objectives are the establishment of a pure Islamic state, governed by Sharia law. It is distinguished by its xenophobia, and its opposition to Westernization, capitalism, socialism, secularism, and liberalist social mores...
Amir Sirajul Haq
...current head of the Pak Jamaat-e-Islami. Siraj was born in 1962 and entered politics shortly after that...
at the party headquarters in Mansoora.

The objective of the meeting, Zardari said, was to save the country and the nation and not just the (Sharif) government.

Dismissing criticism that he and Premier Sharif are projecting only dynastic politics, Zardari said his son Bilawal Baby Bhutto Zardari
...Pak dynastic politician, son of Benazir Bhutto and grandon of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. As far as is known, Bilawal has no particular talents other than being pretty and being able to memorize political slogans, but he had the good luck to be born into the right family and he hasn't been assassinated yet...
was taking extreme risk by entering active politics.
