Mission is Tough for Nawaz Sharif

Also published at The Pakistani Spectator

Pakistanis want their, whatever and whoever politicians back in the country. They want the continuation of the political process, and they simply want armed forces out of the corridors of national politics, and they also want the hardliners top creating little states within the states. It would be the quest for the preservation of the identity, which would lead to the election of Nawaz Sharif.

Nawaz Sharif’s recent homecoming is one of those fresh blow of which nation was waiting. Many people, especially in the Punjab and NWFP provinces think that Nawaz Sharif is the best hope for Pakistan. The country, he has returned to, however is not the country he once ruled. Pakistan is altogether more violent than ever. Militants and self-proclaimed state holders are waging little yet bloody wars against their own people in Swat and North Waziristan.

Nawaz Sharif can count on the unqualified support of his supporters throughout the country, and he can enjoy the most popular vote, and his rating are also sky high, but he has got a tough road ahead. For Nawaz Sharif there are many challenges both at national and international levels. For him, balancing the demands of his country with those of other nations depending on him to solve the scourge of terrorism will be his biggest challenge yet.Nawaz Sharif has done well to remain straight forward.

He has made his point and line of action clear. According to him he doesn’t want to confront or avenge anybody and he doesn’t want to start the politics of intrigue. He has also made plain that he hasn’t really come for the Kursi like his counterpart in the PPP, and he has come to ease the gruesome burdens of the nation. His tone is suggesting that he has learned to let the bygones be bygones.There are many gaping challenges for this man, who right now enjoys the highest ratings and how once became the hero of the nation by banging the nuke tests. Nation right now wants him to develop a national consensus in all the nooks of the country, and that means hell lot.
