Is the party really over?

Party is over?

Mr. Cyril Almeida deserve full kudos for writing today a gem of an article titled “The road to nowhere” which shall be remembered by the posterity as one of his best, specially his words “the pantomime on Day 100 was ruthlessly exposed on Day 101”.

In my opinion if PM Mr. Imran Khan does not immediately reshuffle his finance team, the party will be over sooner than later.

If ideology of any ruling party is out of sync with its financial policies, it is not only doomed, but immediately thrown out from the hearts and minds of its own supporters.

PTI won on the promise of reducing poverty (and not minimising corruption as is wrongly perceived because reduction of corruption is not an end, but a means, to minimise poverty) which has increased astronomically in the 101 days of the PT’s era, by obviously induced devaluations, to just please the IMF for implementing its wrong theory that salvation of economy lies in devaluation of currency.

Today, PTI is more unpopular and destroyed by even not yet taking the IMF loan, than the PMLn and PPP were, after actually taking the IMF loan.

The entire leadership of PTI must know that it’s party, honeymoon or pantomime is over, after it committed harakiri, on the day 101 of its rule; and the rest is just, completing its tenure.

Now for PPP, it is a golden chance to resurrect and stage a dramatic comeback on national level, by sacrificing bygone era faces of top leadership.
