Historic statement by Ayaz Amir:

Dar’s announcing the government’s readiness for unconditional talks with the PTI is not the dawning of wisdom. If only it had been that. It is the government being left with no other choice, wisdom driven into its head first by the huge rally in Islamabad on November 30 and then the closure of Faisalabad on December 8. Had these not happened, rest assured there would have been no offer of talks. Laaton ke bhoot…

Historic statement by Ayaz Amir:

The iron rod – sarya – has melted, because Imran Khan and the PTI have proved tougher and more tenacious than at least I could have imagined.

If such approvals r required from the PM how can the ECP work independly? New CEC seeks ‘unauthorised’ Prado http://www.dawn.com/news/1150637

Mr. Prime Minister why so much hullabaloo over a 3000CC car for the CEC when COO PCB is using a 3600CC vehicle (specially imported from Japan) vs his entitlement for 1800CC car?

New CEC seeks ‘unauthorised’ Prado

ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) sent a summary to the Prime Minister’s Secretariat on Friday evening, seeking a new 3000 cc ‘Prado’ for new Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Justice Sardar Raza, despite the fact that he is only authorised to have a 1600-1800 cc car as per his service rules, sources in the ECP confirmed to DawnNews.
The reason stated for seeking a Prado is that the new CEC requires it for field work. He will keep the authorised vehicle with him too.
PM Secretariat officials confirmed receiving the summary but said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has not yet made the decision to grant a Prado to the CEC.
Justice Sardar Raza was appointed as the new CEC last week after the post remained vacant for 16 months.
