The coalition and the promises

Lately, there've lots of developments in the political scenario. I wasn't going to write about them but since Mubi asked me about my views on the recent breakdown of the coalition of the ruling parties, i think i do want to write a bit about it.
Anyways, the first thing that comes to my mind is that this step was very much on the cards. I'm only surprised that PML(N) realised this so late that they wouldn't be able to work with the new PPP. I say the new PPP because right now PPP is all about mr. Asif zardari and his close aides rather than the close aides of BB. Last night, my dad and i were discussing the same thing. What we found disgustingly fascinating was that how easily zardari sidelined people close to BB, the true Jialas who were responsible for handling the affairs of the party e.g. Amin Faheem, Naheed Khan, aitazaz ahsan etc. Zardari himself was kept away from the political picture of PPP by BB for obvious reasons. Therefore, the people Zardari brought with him were surprisingly the people who he lured with the otherwise impossible stints of power (sherry rehman and co.).
Anyways coming back to the point, the day this coalition was formed on the basis of the restoration of the judges, and the Muree Declaration was signed, my intuition told me that this wont go on for long. And 2 agreements, many promises and months later the inevitable happened. First the ministers resigned and then the PML(N) publically announced their dissociation with the PPP. And everyone knows what this means. The old dirty politics has already started. The politics of 88-90 when two of the biggest parties of the country would leave no stone unturned in insulting and tarnishing eachother's image. Surprisingly, the apocalypse has already begun. A couple of days ago, ministers from PPP and PML(N) were engaged in a wordy showdown in a shitty masalay dar current affairs talk show, the likes of which are very much in demand these days. The host, Mubashar Lucman is one of the stupidest presenters i've seen and i've seen many. He was taking pleasure in instigating the two morons into blasting eachother out (though his inclination was much more towards the PPP guy and was supporting him). Anyways, what followed was a shameful discussion which a caller rightly pointed out seemed like "2 unparh khawateen jo bachon pe lar rai hon". This scenario is not limited to one programme or channel only, barring a few presenters and a few party representatives, everyone is busy these days shitting the other party. Very very naive very naive i must say. And that too after such experience in politics.
After this dissociation of the coalition, the only benefit to PML(N) is that they've come clean on only one account, and that is the promise they made. Simultaneously, it has given us another reason to doubt the fabulous mr. Zardari. Although i believe that the issue whether judges should be restored or not is very very debatable (i believe that if the judges are restored, it might be extremely difficult for them to be fair and impartial because of all the politicization), the key point to note is that mr. Zardari promised and made accords publically in all sorts of ways and later said "its not Quran or Hadis that it cannot be changed".
Well reality check mr. Zardari, a promise especially by a person who calls himself a statesman should be kept at all costs. True its not Quran or Hadis, but Quran and Hadis have repeatedly stressed on the extreme importance of fulfilling all your promises at all costs.
Enough of the rant, in the end i'd like to quote the Quaid on this very issue, he said:
"Statesmen should never eat their words!"

the rest we wait to unfold
