I agree with the corruption part and tax theft etc but at the same time I would also second columnist's observations. This has been done several times and the same game is being played again, only pressure groups keep changing as per requirements.
nawaz sharif is ******* child of punjabi generals. tell me one PM who has been forgiven ore times than nawaz sharif.
a) giving bmw to army chief
b) forcing army chief to resign
c) preventing army chief to land on pakistani soil
d) attacking supreme court
e) leaking confidential minutes of meetings held in PM house
f) inviting indian PM to his grand daughter's wedding
If any other PM had done any one of those things, they would have been hanged or at least banned. However, nawaz sharif is adopted son of punjabi generals and they forgive his every sin. This spin you see is in media is for international and local public consumption but from inside army and nawaz sharif are both punjabi brothers eating pakistan.
1) nawaz wants to portray to international powers that he is anti extremist and pro india but army doesnt let him work
2) army wants to portray to punlic (mainly punjabi paindos) that all problems are because of nawaz govt and he doesnt listen to us. At the same time they want to portrat to international powers that civilians govt cant manage pakistanis problems.
3) both army and nawaz want $$$ from US, NATO, Commonwealth and now China for their services in the region
4) both are equally corrupt and so from the inside they compromise to loot pakistan
