SHC rescinds the official assignee’s acquisition of Mohatta Palace. The Sindh High Court on Thursday told the official assignee not to take possession of Qasr-e-Fatima, popularly known as Mohatta Palace, pending the outcome of a nearly 50-year-old suit over the heritage property.

While disposing of a series of intra-court appeals filed against orders of a single-judge bench, Aqeel Ahmed Abbasi also stated that due to the age of the matter, the final judgment/decree on the suit pending before the single-judge bench may be passed as soon as possible, preferably within four weeks of hearing concluding arguments from the parties’ lawyers.

Additionally, it added that a single bench had asked the province government and defendants to change the subject property’s name from Mohatta Palace to Qasr-e-Fatima in all papers, and that the change would be deferred until the suit’s ultimate disposition.

“However, the learned single judge may make appropriate orders to that effect, either with the assent of the parties or otherwise, at the time of resolving the subject suit’s ultimate fate,” the two-judge bench stated in its judgement.

Directive issued to change the name of the heritage building in all papers to Qasr-e-Fatima.

Additionally, it stated that all attorneys for parties must appear before the single bench on the next scheduled day, which the lawyers believe would be Dec 8.

“The suit may be taken up for argument on Dec 15, at which time counsel for the parties may make submissions on all factual and legal issues raised in the matter, and the single bench may issue appropriate orders and finally decide the suit by judgement or decree in accordance with the law,” it concluded.

Last month, the division bench issued an interim order prohibiting the official assignee from assuming possession of property after the province government and the Mohatta Palace Gallery Trust, which operates a museum there, filed intra-court challenges against earlier single-judge bench judgments. Subsequently, adjoining neighbours of Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah’s heritage property in Clifton petitioned the court to overturn the single bench’s order.

On Oct 13, the single bench authorised the official assignee to take possession of the building for the purpose of establishing a medical college, which would be managed independently with the parties’ permission.

Additionally, the bench said in another decision that all documentation must refer to the heritage property as Qasr-e-Fatima.

The provincial government, on the other hand, stated in its appeal that an assistant advocate general consented to the impugned decision of Oct 13 without authority since he lacked instructions to record his consent, and so the consent was not binding on the appellants.

Litigation filed in 1971 by a relative of Fatima Jinnah against the Shireen Jinnah Charitable Trust and others about the administration of her moveable and immovable estates, including Qasr-e-Fatima.

Land-grab legalization ordinance: Haleem Adil Sheikh

Land-grab legalization ordinance: Haleem Adil Sheikh

/0 Comments/in /by

Land-grab legalization ordinance: Haleem Adil Sheikh. Haleem Adil Sheikh rejected the Sindh Commission for Regularization of Construction Ordinance on Thursday, describing it as an attempt by the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) administration to legalize land grabbing and forgeries.

He told a press conference at the Sindh Assembly building that approximately 3.9 million acres of state land were illegally occupied in the province and that the PPP government intended to legalise all encroachments and counterfeit documentation on ostensibly “humanitarian grounds” in light of the situation created by the judiciary’s order to demolish Nasla Tower and remove encroachments along the Gujjar Nullah.

“If the ordinance is intended to compensate residents of Nasla Tower, Gujjar Nullah, or Orangi Nullah, as well as those who live in katchi abadis, this must be included in the draught ordinance,” he remarked.

He accused the Sindh government of having ulterior motives, stating that “it is clear from the planned commission’s membership that it would be headed by a retired judge and would likely include Murtaza Wahab and a representative of the Association of Builders and Developers (Abad)”. He stated that stakeholders and parliamentary parties should be consulted on legislation in accordance with democratic standards.

He also proposed that the planned commission be notified by Pakistan’s top judge following extensive dialogue with the opposition. The commission, he contended, must be chaired by a serving Supreme Court judge, as the Supreme Court was now hearing a case involving illegal construction and land grabbing in Sindh.

“If the opposition’s reservations are not eliminated, we intend to challenge the ordinance in court, as this draught ordinance will pit the Sindh Assembly, political system, executive, and governor of Sindh against the courts,” Mr Sheikh continued.

He also objected to the Sindh Local Government Amendment Bill 2021, describing it as a clear violation of the Pakistani Constitution and the spirit of devolution of powers to the grassroots, and announcing that he would fight the bill in higher courts as well.

According to him, Articles 7, 8, 32, and 140-A of the Constitution call for the empowerment of local government institutions and the transfer of education, health, civic services, and other fundamental tasks and responsibilities to the third tier of governance.

“On the contrary, local government bodies are stripped of all their fundamental functions and obligations, leaving them with simply the responsibility of managing public restrooms,” he continued.

“The amendment bill would place primary healthcare under the control of the Sindh government, including Sobhraj Hospital and Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, the Leprosy Centre, the Sarfraz Rafiqui Shagheed Centre, the Karachi Medical and Dental College, the Infectious Disease Department, and a number of educational institutions.”

Ring Road Rawalpindi Project Master Plan 2022

Ring Road Rawalpindi Project Master Plan

/0 Comments/in /by

Ring Road Rawalpindi Project Master Plan

The finalization of Rawalpindi Ring Road Project will be a huge opportunity for real estate investors in Rawalpindi-Islamabad. The reason to construct this route is to accommodate the massive flow of residential traffic coming from twin cities. This project would positively impact the housing industry, as it costs around PKR 50 billion. As per the real estate experts, this project can boost economic opportunities in the real estate industry.

It would be a 64 km longer route that would start from Channi Sher Alam Bridge near Rawat and end at Thalian Interchange. It is a 300 ft. wide road with a commercial area on both sides and also has ten overhead bridges, three interchanges, and six flyovers.

Impact on Housing Societies

Overall, this road would increase the worth of the housing ventures, especially the ones near Motorway and New Islamabad International Airport. This project would divert the heavy traffic flow, as the residents of the twin cities would have direct access to New Islamabad International Airport and M2 Motorway. If you are looking for more investment opportunities near the under-construction Ring Road, then we would suggest following housing projects that promise maximum returns.

  • Blue World City
  • Kingdom Valley
  • Nova City
  • Rudn Enclave
  • Capital Smart City

Blue World City

Blue World City is an upcoming elite housing project in the capital by Blue Group of Companies and Shah Jian Municipal Engineering. This housing society would be adjacent to Rawalpindi Ring Road and Chakri Interchange. As of now, it is very much popular among real estate experts due to its world-class facilities. With the new Ring Road construction, this housing society would be connected to New Islamabad International Airport directly.

Kingdom Valley

Kingdom Valley Islamabad is another upcoming luxurious housing venture in the heart of Islamabad. Its location is near to New International Airport and Chakri Interchange. Apart from that, this low-cost housing project offers residential plots at affordable rates. The location of this housing society makes it a unique development in the federal capital. It is approximately five kilometers away from Rawalpindi Ring Road Project with other prominent housing societies such as Blue World City and Capital Smart City.

This project would also have direct access to New International Airport, Bahria Town, and Defense Housing Authority through the Ring Road. Apart from Ring Road, this housing society would also be reachable from different routes of the twin cities, including Thalian Interchange and Rawalpindi Cadet College. It will be a perfect location away from the hustle and bustle of the hectic urban life. Yet, the distance would not be a matter of concern for the inhabitants and potential investors. Moreover, this real estate venture also authorizes a puzzling course of action to important parts of the city.

Nova City

Nova developers are working on this project, well-known providers of a modernistic and luxurious lifestyle to their investors. They consider the desires of residents when coming up with their initiatives. They also provide astonishing client support and complete consultancy to the investors who need it. It has great importance as it is certainly accessible by the Ring road and CPEC route. Moreover, the residents can expediently reach both Rawalpindi and Islamabad within half an hour from Nova city. This housing society is only 6 minutes away from Bango, Attock.

Apart from that, its location holds a substantial value as the position is contiguous to the CPEC-Ring Road Interchange. It is easily accessible with a short drive of under ten minutes’ places like Dhok Korak (Attock), Kanal (Rawalpindi), and Qutbu (Attock).

Rudn Enclave

Rudn Enclave is another emerging housing project that is just nearby Adiala Road Rawalpindi. This housing venture has an ideal location as the ultimate alignment of Rawalpindi Ring Road Project is strategized through its route. Along with that, the Adiala Interchange is planned right opposite the first entry gate of Rudn Enclave. Moreover, it is only 10 km away from the Islamabad Farmhouse and 20 km away from the busy Kachery Road.

It is planned near the under-construction Ring Road, around 400 to 500 meters away. So it also links to New Islamabad International Airport. The distance of following other locations would be less from Rudn Enclave after the construction of the Ring Road.

  • Reaching New Islamabad International Airport within 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Giga mall and T-chowk are only about a 10- to 15-minute drive away.
  • The residents would be able to reach zero Point in 20 minutes through Kashmir Highway.

Capital Smart City Islamabad

Capital Smart City is the first-ever smart city housing venture under development, only 3 km away from Ring Road Rawalpindi. It would also enjoy a superb arrangement from other parts of the twin cities. It is going to be a bewildering region with state-of-the-art infrastructure. The developers are planning its miscellaneous streets so that they would be easily accessible from the other parts of Rawalpindi-Islamabad. This housing society spreads over more than 50000 Kanals of land area. Other prominent housing ventures such as Eighteen Islamabad and Blue World City are only a few miles away.

Conclusion

The construction of Rawalpindi Rind Road Project would positively impact the prices of housing societies on its route. But, it completely depends on other factors such as location and status of construction alongside invested amount, whether the investment return rate would be higher. The prices of the housing projects in its route would immediately increase after the inauguration of Ring Road. Looking at the current scenario, one can imagine that property prices would increase almost 50% more in the next two years. The best time to invest in any of the housing societies is now. For further information about the upcoming real estate projects, please get in touch with Estate Land Marketing. We have a team of marketing specialists and real estate professionals who would personally guide the investor about the payment plan of all the housing societies near Ring Road.

Punjab Assembly attempts to embrace protesters’ demands in Gwadar

/0 Comments/in /by

Punjab Assembly attempts to embrace protesters’ demands in Gwadar. The Punjab Assembly has passed a resolution urging the federal government to immediately meet the aspirations of the people of Gwadar.

On Thursday, PML-N MPA Samiullah Khan introduced the resolution in the PA. It stated that this House asked of the federal government that it listen to the grievances of the Gwadar residents who have been protesting for several days and resolve their concerns on a priority basis.

The resolution expressed concern that the demonstrators included a sizable number of women and children and that they had come to the streets to seek their legitimate rights. Gwadar was critical to the country’s development and ignoring its citizens would be irresponsible on the part of the government, it stated, adding that the federal government must move swiftly to repair the law and order situation after resolving the demonstrators’ grievances.

Since Monday, a huge number of women and their children have taken to the streets of the port city in sympathy with the struggle for the rights of the people of Gwadar and other Makran communities. The demonstrators, who included women from Turbat, Ormara, Jewani, and Pasni, held a sit-in in Gwadar city. The protesters claim that the residents of Gwadar have been duped by the CPEC (China-Pakistan Economic Corridor), as they have reaped no benefits.

Additionally, fishermen have been deprived of their livelihoods, border trade has been prohibited. Similarly, they claimed that the drug mafia was operating the narcotics and liquor businesses with the connivance of the local administration, resulting in the youth becoming drug addicts and the province government taking no action to close liquor stores or combat the drug trade.

Rawalpindi bans construction of schools and hospitals on major highways

/0 Comments/in /by

Rawalpindi bans the construction of schools and hospitals on major highways. Divisional Commissioner Syed Gulzar Hussain Shah banned the approval of educational institutions and health facilities on major roadways on Thursday, citing the need to avoid traffic congestion and accidents.

“No new approvals should be granted for schools, colleges, or hospitals along the main road. All schools and hospitals must have four road-cross assistants,” he stated, and directed the deputy commissioners of Rawalpindi Division’s four districts, including Rawalpindi, Attock, Chakwal, and Jhelum, to ensure that assistant commissioners of the division participate in traffic awareness campaigns in their districts.

Schools housed in rented buildings should promptly relocate, change orders should be issued, and the condition of an assistance on the road will apply to hospitals as well, he said.

The commissioner was co-chairing a meeting with Regional Police Officer Ashfaq Ahmed to discuss improving the Rawalpindi Division’s traffic system and current circumstances.

Saif Anwar Jappa, Additional Commissioner (Coordination), Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Ali, a city police officer, the secretary of the Regional Transport Authority, the director of excise, the deputy director of information, and traffic police officials attended the meeting.

The conference was convened following the chief secretary of Punjab expressing worry about the recent deaths of four youngsters in a road accident in Bahawalpur.

He issued severe instructions to strengthen the province’s traffic system in all 36 districts in order to prevent a repeat of this unfortunate catastrophe.

He advised commissioners that all schools located on major thoroughfares should have their four road-crossing assistants on hand to assist students in crossing the road.

In partnership with the district administration, a public awareness campaign on road safety will be conducted, during which members of Rescue 1122, the motor vehicle examiner, assistant commissioners, and district commissioners will visit schools and colleges to deliver lectures.

The commissioner stated that a traffic audit should be conducted by a team comprised of traffic police, Rescue 1122, and highway officials.

Mr Shah stated that all dark spots on the road should be identified and the services of a traffic sergeant should be sought in this regard. “At least two drivers should be kept on long route buses, and strict action should be taken against workshops where trolleys are installed in front of moon vehicles to prevent their manufacture, which causes accidents and endangers the lives and property of the public.”

RPO Ahmed stated that every year, between 18 and 20,000 individuals become crippled as a result of traffic accidents, a figure that is larger than the number of fatalities.

One should wear seat belts while driving and helmets while riding a motorbike might help prevent accidents, he said, adding that it was critical to raise awareness about road safety education, enforcement, and the environment.

He also emphasized the critical nature of road safety audits.

The limit on banks' housing exposure has been increased to 25%

The limit on banks’ housing exposure has been increased to 25%

/0 Comments/in /by

The limit on banks’ housing exposure has been increased to 25%. The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) upped banks’ exposure to housing and construction to 25% from 15% of their aggregate advances and investments on Wednesday.

On July 15, 2020, banks and DFIs were encouraged to meet obligatory financing requirements for housing and building development (residential and non-residential) of at least 5% of their domestic private sector advances by December 31, 2020.

To enhance housing and construction financing through capital markets and microfinance banks (MFBs), the SBP decided to allow banks and DFIs to count their housing and construction finance exposures toward meeting their mandated housing and construction finance targets.

Banks were permitted to finance directly or invest in bonds, TFCs, and sukuk issued by management firms of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs).

Banks were instructed to make investments in REIT units or shares subject to all other applicable restrictions.

They were permitted to invest in sukuk, or Pakistan Mortgage Refinance Company’s bonds (PMRC). However, investments in sukuk or bonds, as well as the amount of refinancing obtained through PMRC, will be deducted from the necessary target calculation.

Financing to microfinance banks (MFBs) for the purpose of extending housing credit to qualified borrowers up to the extent of MFBs’ actual disbursements. Banks that lend to MFBs for home finance would be required to report such transactions separately to SBP.

The central bank stated that the aforementioned exposures will be considered in aggregate up to a maximum of 15% of a bank’s or DFI’s statutory targets for housing and construction finance on a particular day.

However, in a fresh circular issued on Wednesday, the exposure limit was doubled to 25%.

“The exposure limit for eligible investments and financing has been increased from 15% to 25% of obligatory targets for housing and construction finance,” the circular stated.

The government and SBP have been attempting to revitalise the housing and construction industries, but banks remain wary of extending housing loans.

On July 6, the SBP decided to penalise banks that fail to reach mandated housing and disbursement quotas.

“It has been agreed that banks that fall short of their targets in terms of housing units and disbursements will face penalties beginning July 31,” the SBP stated.

The government’s primary objective was to create ten million employment and five million affordable housing units within three years, however there has been no discernible progress in this direction.

EU to build Global Gateway to oppose China's Belt and Road

EU to build Global Gateway to oppose China’s Belt and Road

/0 Comments/in /by

EU to build Global Gateway to oppose China’s Belt and Road. The European Commission proposed on Wednesday a plan to mobilise 300 billion euros ($340 billion) in public and private infrastructure investment globally, in response to China’s Belt and Road initiative.

“Global Gateway aims to mobilise up to 300 billion euros in investments between 2021 and 2027… by bringing together the EU’s, member states’, European financial institutions’, and national development finance institutions’ resources,” according to a commission paper.

The Global Gateway plan makes no reference to China’s longer-standing international infrastructure agenda — but EU leader Ursula von der Leyen described it as a “roadmap for significant investment in infrastructure development worldwide.”

The funds will not come from the EU or member states’ coffers, and the proposal will require support from international institutions and the private sector to achieve even a fraction of its goal.

China announced its worldwide investment strategy, dubbed Belt and Road, in 2013, as a signature project of President Xi Jinping. Beijing stated that by 2020, it would have invested $139.8 billion, including $22.5 billion last year alone.

Officially, it seeks to create land and marine infrastructure that will improve China’s connectivity to Asia, Europe, and Africa for trade and development, and it has partnered with other countries.

The West, on the other hand, views it as a means for China to exert influence over poorer countries. They accuse Beijing of pushing emerging economies to incur excessive debt and argue that the opaque contract procedure is prone to corruption.

China maintains that it respects its partners’ sovereignty while providing financing for cooperative projects, while detractors allege that Beijing’s contractual provisions ignore human, labour, and environmental rights violations.

The EU policy is an outgrowth of a concept unveiled in June at the industrial powers’ meeting in Cornwall by the G7 countries to provide poor countries an alternative to the Belt and Road.

EU Commissioner for International Partnerships Jutta Urpilainen defended the bloc’s record, telling reporters that European development aid was “quite close” to the level of Belt and Road funding between 2013 and 2018. Along with raising finances, the EU plan intends to transfer European technology and experience to emerging economies.

“We want Global Gateway to be a trusted brand that stands out for its excellent quality, consistent standards, and high level of openness and good governance,” Von der Leyen explained.

“We are adamant that this will ensure that investment has a tangible impact on the ground. And this is done in a sustainable manner.”

SHC: DHA withholds land allocation and reclamation data

SHC: DHA withholds land allocation and reclamation data

/0 Comments/in /by

SHC: DHA withholds land allocation and reclamation data. The Sindh High Court asked the Defence Housing Authority on Wednesday to give records and paperwork for all property allotted, including land reclaimed from the sea, after the official assignee complained that the DHA was refusing to deliver the required data.

A single-judge SHC bench chaired by Justice Zulfiqar Ahmad Khan also issued notices to the DHA, Cantonment Board Clifton, Cantonment Board Faisal, Cantonment Board Malir, and Karachi Cantonment Board and others for Dec 15 on an application seeking contempt proceedings against them for failing to comply with the court’s earlier order prohibiting them from using the land sanctioned as public spaces for commercial or gainful purposes or from creating a third-party

Additionally, it directed the DHA to submit information about land reserved for other projects and the Civil Aviation Authority and Port Qasim Authority to share information about commercial properties and reclaimed land, respectively.

Additionally, the bench directed the Sindh government to designate focal individuals to provide pertinent information to the official assignee on title and occupancy of the reclaimed property.

When the bench heard a suit brought by six plaintiffs under the Whistleblower Protection and Vigilance Commission Ordinance, Official Assignee Dr Chaudary Wasim Iqbal filed an interim report in accordance with an earlier order requiring an inspection of the reclaimed land and the provision of details of 22 private entities’ commercial locations.

The court grants the authority two weeks to provide the necessary paperwork.

According to the article, the official assignee had issued notifications to the DHA and other defendants for them to furnish relevant records and papers as well as to establish focal persons to ensure compliance within the specified time period.

The report stated, however, that based on the position adopted by the DHA’s law officer, it appeared as though the DHA was purposefully withholding the papers while the plaintiffs submitted a copy of the 1973 master plan pertaining to the initial assignment of property to DHA.

The official assignee explained to the DHA legal officer that without documentation of the initial allotment, it was impossible to determine the dimensions of reclaimed land.

He indicated that architect Marvi Mazhar came to donate her services and draw the proportions of the reclaimed area, and she was requested to give aerial mapping of the reclaimed property.

Apart from inspecting six properties in DHA, the report stated that other officials from the official assignee’s office inspected several sites on Nov 29 — Falcon Mall, PAF Museum, The Venue, The Signature, and Imperial Wedding Halls — that were under the control of the military estate office and Pakistan Air Force.

Read more with EL news : The five fronts of the conflict, according to the RED ZONE FILES

The squadron leader of PAF Base Faisal responded to the official assignee’s letter, stating that no commercial activity was being conducted under the command management of the PAF base, and that all commercial activities on the site of the under-construction Falcon Mall had been halted in light of the Supreme Court order, as well as the removal of signboards depicting the mall.

Additionally, the report stated that the Karachi Urban Lab (KUL) stated that it lacked the resources necessary to carry out this task, while the National Institute of Oceanography Pakistan (NIOP) stated that it had never been contacted regarding conducting scientific research on the process of reclaimed land from the Karachi shore.

The official assignee sought that the bench direct the DHA to give documentation of the land initially granted to it and information of every other land that came into their occupation as a result of reclaimed land either by the DHA or by any other federal or provincial department.

He also requested that DHA share title deeds to reclaimed land under its occupation with other corporations in addition to the land sold to other enterprises.

The bench granted the official assignee’s petition and continued the proceedings until Dec 15.

On Oct 23, the bench directed the DHA and other official defendants to ensure that the land previously sanctioned as public spaces was not used for commercial or gainful purposes until the case’s next hearing and directed an official assignee to inspect the reclaimed land being used by the DHA and submit a report with photographs and maps of the land with the assistance of KUL or NIOP.

Additionally, it barred DHA from reclaiming additional territory, transferring it to anyone, or developing third-party interest in the land.

The five fronts of the conflict, according to the RED ZONE FILES

The five fronts of the conflict, according to the RED ZONE FILES

/0 Comments/in /by

RED ZONE FILES: The five fronts conflict. The winter brawl is intensifying. With the arrival of December in Islamabad, the political thermometer is reporting several spikes throughout the scale. The country’s stability — or, more precisely, its lack of it — can be measured on at least five fronts that are currently experiencing active and latent conflict.

PTI vs. ECP: This continuous conflict has intensified again again, with the PTI government insisting on the election commission ensuring the use of electronic voting machines in upcoming by-elections and general elections. Punjab’s government has also entered the fray, throwing a few odd punches and stating that ECP must use EVMs in the province’s upcoming local government elections. The ECP, on the other hand, has stated repeatedly that it cannot rush into implementing the EVM law due to a variety of practical constraints. The threat by the government to withdraw financing from the ECP if it does not implement EVMs in the elections has escalated this conflict. Insiders in the Red Zone believe the ECP would not budge from its position that it will not introduce EVMs unless it is satisfied with the machines’ adequate testing and the infrastructure required for the large exercise. The relationship between the PTI government and the ECP has deteriorated to the point where different constitutional entanglements are possible in the coming days. Expect a scarcity of steadiness.

December will determine the scale and outcome of this coming conflict, as the opposition alliance prepares to make critical decisions about rallies, street protests, and a possibly protracted march on Islamabad. However, the PTI government has maintained an advantage in this fight thus far due to the PDM’s lukewarm show of public dissent. Its words have spoken louder than its actions, and its hesitation demonstrates a lack of clarity over its future course of action. Despite assertions to the contrary, the absence of PPP from PDM has damaged the coalition. Another element undermining the PDM, according to opposition sources, is the PDM’s lukewarm support from a sizable portion of the PML-N leadership. The pragmatists inside the party are uneasy with the PDM leaders’ harsh anti-establishment posture and would prefer to unseat the PTI administration by ways other than an all-out attack on the establishment. Thus, the uncertainty appears to jeopardize the alliance for the time being and further erodes the opposition’s chances of presenting itself as a genuine alternative to Prime Minister Imran Khan.

PTI vs Establishment: Despite a narrative that all is fine between Islamabad and Rawalpindi, things remain tense between the two cities. However, the nature of the tension has shifted subtly during the previous few weeks. What looked to be ‘hot’ tension has cooled. According to Red Zone insiders, this coldness is more of a state of detachment, even aloofness, than a genuine conflict at this stage. However, the warmth, cooperation, and active support at all levels have waned. Both sides are wary of the other. This will begin to manifest itself in December’s political dynamics if the PDM accelerates its pace. Numerous members of the PTI leadership are making concerted efforts to mend the wound and restore the relationship to its pre-spate state. An source who recently met with one of the most influential people in the PTI government confessed that the ruling party’s top hierarchy was fully involved in communicating to the opposing side that there was no malice intended. For the time being, though, this front remains active, albeit quietly.

PML-N against Establishment: In recent weeks, the PML-N has attempted to create the impression that its confrontation with the establishment is waning. It has not been entirely successful in accomplishing this. The fault lines are too deep, and the party’s internal struggle ensures that the healing process is useless. Immediately following the quarrel between the Prime Minister and the establishment, the PML-N made the appropriate sounds to prepare the ground for its engagement with the establishment. However, subsequent events, notably the publication of audio leaks, have torpedoed these efforts to some extent. While the war of words has been somewhat hushed, the war of intent has not. The pragmatics inside the party, which includes a sizable number of electables, fear they are losing an opportunity to re-enter the game as a result of the party leadership’s refusal to adapt to the altered circumstances. The clock is ticking. The conflict is still ongoing.

PML-N against PPP: In this week’s Peshawar jalsa, Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari also launched an attack on the PML-N without mentioning names. PML-N and PPP have squared off in the Lahore by-election due by the end of this week. The video evidence of votes being purchased has elevated the verbal duel to a new level. At the heart of this fire is the fundamental mistrust that continues to afflict the relationship between the two parties’ leaderships, despite the seeming camaraderie during the PDM’s early halcyon days. According to PPP insiders, they seek to capitalize on the gap created by the PTI-establishment conflict and have urged the PML-N to play smart politics. Certain insiders have also verified that the PPP’s image has improved in recent years. This has exacerbated the PPP’s relationship with PML-N hardliners, who now feel the PPP is looking to negotiate a deal and extract its pound of flesh at the expense of the PML-N. In the aftermath of the Lahore by-election and PDM manoevres, December will see another wave of friction between the two parties. Additionally, this front stays active and volatile.

With numerous conflicts raging for the spoils of victory, the broader war’s conclusion remains more uncertain than ever.
