The third bet PM Khan has made is that the Generation Z voter in Punjab will convert into the Generation Z voter of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa вЂ“ ie she or he will lean PTI when push comes to shove. But this cost is mitigated by PM KhanвЂ™s third bet. The cost? Every governance failure in Takht-e-Lahore reminds people of what Buzdar has replaced. By denying this role to the traditional power brokers of southern Punjab, the Chaudhrys of Gujarat and the Aleem Khans and Jahangir Tareens of the PTI, PM Khan has established an unstable but manageable equation in Punjab.

The unseen hand of politics that delivered Punjab to him, the PML-QвЂ™s easy load and portable loyalty, and the conglomerate of petit bourgeoisie mafiosos that make up part of the PTI вЂcoreвЂ™ in Lahore were all vying for the CM role. Buzdar may not be much, in terms of governance, or performance, or even presentation вЂ“ but he is everything PM Khan needs to ensure his tricky triple balance in Punjab. This equilibrium has necessitated the appointment of Usman Buzdar as chief minister вЂ“ a ridiculous choice that is redeemable only if one understands that any other choice would have already produced a change in government at the centre. Second, PM Khan has bet on an unequal and unstable political equilibrium in Punjab as a necessary instrument of his sustaining the power to fight and win the next general election (most likely in 2023). But if PM Khan manages to register better than expected growth, he will have pulled off a small heist with a big potential political payoff in 2022-2023. Where Tarin will generate the forex needed to sustain this growth-at-all-costs approach is a mystery вЂ“ given the hardball that the Biden Administration seems to want to play with Pakistan.

PakistanвЂ™s current account deficit is growing and without US dollar denominated, concessional gap financing, the growth story will barely begin before it begins to asphyxiate in the absence of US dollars. The early returns from this approach are also not surprising. I am a big fan, as I was in 2016, when Ishaq Dar had delivered the same thing. 'Elections strengthen any nation and incompetent governments like this one weaken it,' Khan said, while reiterating his earlier demand for early elections.First, PM Khan has bet on Shaukat TarinвЂ™s growth-above-all approach to the economy. 'The question to be answered now is that who was responsible for this change in the declaration: did Zahid Hamid act alone, or were other people involved? This question will now have to be answered as it is part of the demands (made by Tehreek-i-Labbik Ya Rasool Allah) that the government has agreed upon,' he said. 'We were all taken aback when this matter first blew up,' he claimed. He accused the government of trying to make changes to the Khatm-i-Nabuwwat declaration 'through stealth' without discussing the matter at any parliamentary forum. 'I prayed two nafil-i-shukrana (prayer of thanks) when the army stepped in and fixed the situation' following the the botched Faizabad operation, the PTI chief further said. 'The government has no idea what would have happened if this matter had escalated they should thank the army for stepping in and diffusing the situation,' he added. 'The whole nation should be grateful that the matter was wrapped up in two days, otherwise there would have been a catastrophe of great magnitude and these people would have hidden out of sight leaving the nation to bear the brunt of the disaster,' Khan said. PTI chairman Imran Khan on Wednesday said his party workers were willing to join the Faizabad sit-in as 'the matter had left the realm of politics'.ДЄddressing a press conference in Islamabad, Khan said, 'The government should know that whenever a question is raised on the finality of prophethood, there's always a reaction of great proportions because of the religious history attached with the matter.'
