Makafat Nagar, Sharif Mohalla, Seventh Heaven

My dear practical son Shahbaz!

Peace be upon you! I have not contacted you for a long time. Ever since you became the Prime Minister again since February 8, I am constantly worried about your performance and success every moment. First of all, congratulations, this month has been very good, your government system has worked. Getting the IMF loan is a huge positive. Your lively speech in the United Nations has shut the mouths of the opponents. Immediately after this speech, General Zia-ul-Haq and KM Arif came to our neighborhood to congratulate me. Continue reading poems. It was also confirmed that your communication and relationship with the army is getting stronger, the visit of the Prime Minister of Malaysia Anwar Ibrahim to Pakistan is also a matter of perfection. The ice melted in your meeting with Anwar Ibrahim in Saudi Arabia. Anwar Ibrahim has a long relationship with Pakistan. He remembers the beauty of Shalamar Bagh and the book shops of Karachi. He has come to Peshawar every year. Anwar Ibrahim has an old relationship with Jamiat-e-Islami and Jamaat-e-Islami. Liaqat Baloch has been hosting him, the Amir-ul-Azeem has been visiting him in Malaysia for the sake of this relationship, he had a meeting with the delegation of Jamaat-e-Islami, but he stopped them in the hotel. Granted, not allowed to go upstairs, Anwar Ibrahim himself came to the lobby and met his old relatives. This method was completely inappropriate, make an inquiry as to who did this. Anwar Ibrahim has made a bold announcement to import rice and halal meat from Malaysia, this will help Pakistan economically. This month is good for you as the Saudi prince is coming to Pakistan with Saudi investors, then 7-8 heads of state are coming together to Islamabad after a gap of many years due to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization meeting, the Indian Foreign Minister said. Coming is also great news. On the other hand, the decision of 63 A has put a damper on the hopes of Tehreek-e-Insaf politically, as if your strength has been strengthened in terms of politics, foreign policy and the cooperation of the army. A strong relationship has developed even though he is very discreet and cautious when you complimented him that you respected Henry Kissinger even after he retired and remembered his services in building China-US relations and then when you told President Xi that our father Mian Sharif always advised us that the benefactors who retired from practical life should be remembered. And then he gave you a tour of his village and now you see his personal warmth for you. You set a good example, I have never forgotten the kindness of Brigadier Qayyum and General Jilani that they played an important role in making Nawaz Sharif the Chief Minister. But now I am getting strange news regarding my family, it seems that all the traditions have been forgotten, the benefactor who played the most active role in the no-confidence motion, Nawaz Sharif and the army negotiated, General Asim. He held seven meetings with Nawaz Sharif regarding Munir and then confronted PTI on the front foot. Such a great Mohsin and his Chief Minister Punjab and Nawaz Sharif did not even have a single regular meeting, what tradition have we followed? It has also been heard that although there is a lot of personal love and warmth between uncle Prime Minister and niece Chief Minister, there is no effective communication between the federal and Punjab governments. The people of Islamabad are limited to the boundaries of the capital and the people of Punjab are considering the center as a non-territory. The staff under the Prime Minister was discussing one day that the Prime Minister should meet a delegation of 150 lawyers in Lahore. Which location is appropriate? The color of the meeting in the office of the Muslim League would be political, but the staff does not have the courage to use any government building under the jurisdiction of the Chief Minister of Punjab. There is access, it is being said that everything will be based on merit. Merit generally means that no one else’s will will work, only the will of the Prime Minister and the Chief Minister will work. They should make it black or white in political language. called merit. Hamza’s friends told me that he is not heard of in Punjab, he has run the Muslim League organization for years, calling him Nolft is politically incorrect. Counseling which was the specialty of our family seems to be completely lacking in the younger generation.

Dear son!!

After I left the world, you have given your elder brother a position like a father. Nawaz is certainly worthy of it. And also motionless and constantly silent. This duplicity is destroying Noni politics. Shahbaz son, you don’t do politics anyway, you don’t talk about politics, you don’t address political meetings, you don’t visit anywhere in Punjab? You are not doing politics, you are just doing a job. I have always explained to you brothers that inflation is a killer poison for governments. The biggest problem for your government is expensive electricity. Will not listen.

Shahbaz son!!

Listen, Nawaz used to discuss every political matter with me and take my advice, I heard all your advisers are technocrats, you should consult more senior political associates like Khawaja Asif, Rana Tanveer and Rana Sanaullah, uncle and niece. We should sit with Nawaz and discuss the same policies of the federation and Punjab, it should also be decided whether Maryam should lead the politics going forward or you? Also think that among Junaid Safdar, Zakaria and Zaid. To give someone a chance or not? Will Hamza remain in the background or has a role been envisioned for him in the future? It should also be decided whether Nawaz Sharif has to do politics in the same way with a long silence and complete avoidance of mail meetings. If he does not come out of shock, anger and despair, then he should leave politics. The last thing is that Imran has been defeated materially in the judicial, military and public spheres, but he is still morally and politically on the victory stand. As it stands, it is true that successive defeats will demoralize the PTI, but the complete disillusionment of these crores of people active in politics will prove heavy for the state. My advice is to keep the avenues of reconciliation open. Don’t let them fall into the darkness of despair.

Yours, Father
