Nawaz convenes party meeting in Jeddah

2005-06-03

Former prime minister Mian Nawaz Sharif has convened a meeting of party leaders in Jeddah in the third week of June to discuss the party's internal affairs, Daily Times learnt on Thursday.

Last time I looked, Jeddah's in Soddy Arabia, not Pakistan. Why do they call it the Pakistan Mooselimb League and not the Soddy Mooselimb League?

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders Raja Zaffarul Haq, Iqbal Zaffar Jhagra, Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, Memoona Hashmi, Mamnoon Hussain, Pir Sabir Shah, Mushahidullah Khan, Sir Anjam Khan, Chaudhry Jaffar Iqbal, Tehmina Daultana, Sardar Zulfiqar Ali Khan Khosa, Khawaja Saad Rafique, Imdad Chandio and Sardar Yaqoob Nasir have been directed to reach Jeddah soon after the National Assembly's budget session. The meeting will decide about the PML-N's provincial office-bearers. Sources said that except the PML-N Balochistan, all three provincial chapters had differences over the appointments of provincial chiefs and general secretaries. Mian Nawaz Sharif had forwarded a list of the provincial office-bearers to party chairman Raja Zaffarul Haq a week ago, but the announcement was not made due to the adverse reaction from of senior party leaders.

#3 I do believe you're right, Phil F. Except that I think you're missing some of those accent thingies that point in various directions... but then my French is rather limited, so I can't tell which and where. Sorry ;-)

#2 So they've basically eliminated all forms of political opposition except for the religious fanatics.

HMM.

There's a phrase in French that I keep remembering.

"Apres moi, le deluge." At least I think that's it.

#1 While Nawaz is lucky enough to lead from the Magic Kingdom, Benazir Bhutto leads the PPP from Dubai, while Altaf Hussein leads the MQM from London.

But I guess things like that can happen when the leaders of a countries largest political parties have all been accused of Murder, attempted murder or corruption.

Only the Turbans are allowed to both live and campaign in Pakland.
