ISLAMABAD: Despite Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s complaints against the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government, President Asif Ali Zardari remains one of the main guarantors of the stability of the current system.
Although Bilawal’s recent outburst against the PML-N government and Shehbaz Sharif made headlines, there is no threat to the regime, which was established with the support of the PPP.
All top PPP leaders, including Bilawal, know that despite their complaints against the PML-N, the party will not withdraw its support from the Shehbaz government, which would not survive without PPP support.
Everyone who matters in the current system knows that President Zardari is in harmony with Prime Minister Shehbaz and Army Chief General Asim Munir in supporting the current system for the political and economic stability of the country.
Recently, Prime Minister Shehbaz had declared News that he, President Zardari and Chief of Army Staff General Asim are on the same page for the political and economic stability of the country.
For all measures taken for the stability of the system and to improve the economic health of the country, these three actors work together.
For the same reason, the PPP supported all critical policies, including the legislations proposed by the government, in addition to supporting the economic agenda set by the SIFC (Special Investment Facilitation Council).
According to a source, on some issues related to SIFC decisions on which some Sindh PPP leaders had reservations, the President played his role to ensure that everything went smoothly.
A few days ago, Bilawal had accused the ruling PML-N of violating its agreement with his party.
In an informal chat with journalists at the PPP media cell in Karachi, Bilawal said real politics was based on respect and the ruling coalition should adhere to its agreements.
The PPP expressed its displeasure over the behavior of the PML-N and its governments at the Center and Punjab. The PPP has repeatedly stated that the PML-N, especially the Maryam Nawaz government in Punjab, is not respecting the agreement reached between the two parties at the time of government formation.
Some senior PML-N leaders admit that what the PPP had promised Punjab has not yet been delivered.
The PPP was promised that it would be given political space in Punjab by letting it nominate its choices in civil administration and police officials in districts and tehsils where the party had won the February 8 elections .
Punjab Chief Minister Maryam, however, insists that she would not accept any political interference, including from her own party, in civil service appointments.
