Who is actual threat for govt, opposition or allies?

Opposition is getting united now. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the PPP chief had a meeting with Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman yesterday. They, after the meeting, adopted a joint strategy against the government in parliament.

The opposition not only introduced its bill in the National Assembly but beat the government 117-104 votes on PML-N Javed Hasnain’s bill. Later, PTI lawmaker Asma Qadeer failed to introduce a bill that proposed enhancement of punishment to those pass obnoxious remarks against women.

The joint opposition’s another victory was the overnight cancellation of the joint session of parliament by the government.

Will opposition be able to give tough time to govt on TTP, TLP issue?

However. the government is facing a more serious threat from its allies than the opposition.

Yesterday, the PTI’s core committee held a meeting. The meeting discussed how to make legislation in the parliament because  opposition is not agreed to cooperate. National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser has written a letter to Shehbaz Sharif offering to hold talks. But, the PML-N leader has not given a response.

On the other hand, the government allies are not happy with the government. Recently, the MQM-P had urged the government for allowing it to open its offices like the TLP. The party also refused to support the government on the electronic voting machine issue.

The PML-Q’s central executive committee also met yesterday.  The party also refused to extend support to the government on the issue of electronic voting machine.

The segment of PTI’s core committee, during a meting, has suggested Prime Minister Imran Khan to focus more on allies than the opposition. They said the PTI’s allies are more serious threat than the opposition specially the MQM-P and PML-Q..

We need to take our allies on board, the meeting said.
