Mr Zardari the President of Pakistan after being thoroughly blackmailed by his coalition partners have now joined hands with the opposition PML (q) of chaudary brothers of Punjab in order to get rid of the Nawaz-shahbaz sharief brothers of punjab menace.The most interesting thing to notice is that most of the PPP party and leadership is very opposed to this alliance.some PPP ministers and advisers have resigned or removed in the past few months to please the coalition partners and now some will be resigning for this alliance.Mr Zardari took oath of 14 PML(q) ministers yesterday...making the size of Mr Gillani's cabinet to 36.
MQM has also been offered to join...recently PML(q) has been in direct as well as indirect contact with MQM.and since they have worked closely togather during the musharraf's rule its quite obvious that MQM will be more relax with PML(q) in the cabinet.
Now the Big question is that in the PPP-PML(q) deal that has been made public both have agreed on principle about the constitutional and administrative changes and the one most important change would be the formation and creation of new provinces and districts.A seriaki province from punjab and a hazara from khyber pakhtunkha(kp). which is the demand of the people of those area and causing much hardships for the leaders and politicians of that region.since it has become the top priority of the voters.The political Irony is that MQM has always supported the demand of the breakup of Punjab and the creation of a seraiki province but itself has totally given up the thought of any division of the sindh province.So now when they had a chance of getting Karachi province on a platter MQM is vehemently opposing any such thought. Few days ago the chief minister of Punjab mr shahbaz sharief hinted a karachi province and MQM and its supporters protested violently by burning and killing.This confusion may cause MQM its vote bank which consists mainly of the Muhajir community of urdu speaking in karachi,hyderabad and other urban centers of Sindh province.The Opposition parties as well as coalition partners will definitely accuse MQM of cheating on the mandate even though it has now clearly changed its path from "only the Muhajirs" to a more acceptable and diversefied "Mutahida" and keeping its vote bank and street power intact.But if this new political set up is able to do the unthinkable where would MQM be wont it look very silly and stupid when the backward people of Hazara and seraiki province will be celebrating and rejoicing ? and Karachi would still be burning....
