General Musharraf has given free hand to PML-Q to earn their place in the next set-up. PML-Q never liked the deal between Pervez Musharraf and Benzair Bhutto, but their position is so malleable and fragile, they never had the muscle to impress Musharraf to revoke the deal.
General Pervez Musharraf has given them now a fair chance that if they succeed in undermining Benazir in the coming elections, then they will carry on with them and Musharraf has got the nerve even to carry on with PML-Q for the next some years despite of US pressure of making Benazir the next Prime Minister of Pakistan.
PML-Q is now taking Benazir head on. They are not giving any respite to her. It was basically started by Benazir in her arrogance, when she landed at Karachi airport some days ago. She even drafted a letter to some officials including President Musharraf and showed her fears about people like Punjab Chief Minister Pervez Elahi. When she took sacrifice of hundreds of innocent people in Karachi during her welcome rally, she didn’t waste time and accused Pervez Elahi and some other people for the sad incident. Then she started spraying venom in every direction aimed at the PML-Q leadership, which is also not very much popular in the people of Pakistan and this way she was gaining some support even in the Punjab and that was naturally very much alarming for the Chaudhary brothers.
But Chaudhary brothers are also masters of this game of intrigue, power and cajoling. They also started their side of profound attack and accused Asif Ali Zardari for the blasts. Zardari has become a synonym of corruption in Pakistan and people believe anything against him. PML-Q kept its lotas from integration by continuous attacks on Benazir and their survival now depends upon anti-Benazir campaign.
