The dust of PTI's resignations had merely settled when MQM came up with its own set of resignations. Thanks to Maulana Fazlur Rahman, MQM and government decided to sit on the negotiating table to sort things out. While the matter is still being discussed, we come to hear rumours that PPP is also weighing the option of walking out of assemblies.
As things stand, MQM would want to prolong its own issue of resignations to see how PPP goes about this option. And if PPP does resign from assemblies, then it will also boost MQM's case and Altaf Hussein will be in a better position of bargaining with the government. ANP, under threat from Karachi operating, may follow the suit. It obviously doesn't make a good picture for Nawaz Sharif because the concessions PPP, MQM and ANP would want from Nawaz Sharif, are actually not in his hands to dish out. It will be interesting to see how PTI plays its cards as things unfold.
Given the complicated scheme of things, where are we heading towards? Do you think present setup will come up under severe agitational pressures in coming days or weeks?
