پاکستان کے سابق وزیر اعظم اور مسلم لیگ نون کے سربراہ نواز شریف اپنے بھائی اور بھتجے سمیت صوبائی دارالحکومت لاہور کے چھ حلقوں سے امیدوار بن گئے ہیں۔
پاکستان مسلم لیگ نون نے بدھ کو لاہور کے قومی اور صوبائی حلقوں کے لیے اپنے امیدواروں کے ناموں کی فہرست جاری کر دی ہے۔
پاکستان تحریک انصاف اور پاکستان پیپلز پارٹی پہلے ہی لاہور سے اپنے امیدواروں کا اعلان کر چکی ہیں۔
پاکستان کے صوبہ پنجاب کے دارالحکومت لاہور سے قومی اسمبلی کی 13 جبکہ صوبائی اسمبلی کی 26 نشستیں ہیں۔
لاہور سے پہلی بار ایک ہی وقت میں پانچ خواتین قومی اسمبلی کی نشستوں کے لیے میدان میں ہیں۔ ان میں دو کا تعلق پیپلز پارٹی سے ہے جبکہ تحریک انصاف اور آل پاکستان مسلم لیگ کی ایک ایک جبکہ ایک خاتون آزاد امیدوار کی حیثیت سے انتخاب لڑ رہی ہیں۔
نواز شریف سولہ برس کے بعد عام انتخابات میں امیدوار کی حیثیت سے سامنے آئے ہیں اور لاہور کے حلقہ این اے 120 سے انتخاب میں حصہ لیں گے۔
اس حلقے سے ان کے مدمقابل تحریک انصاف کی ڈاکٹر یاسمین راشد اور پیپلز پارٹی کے زبیر کاردار ہیں۔
کلثوم نواز کی کزن اور آل پاکستان مسلم لیگ کے ٹکٹ پر معروف پہلوان زبیر جھارا کی بیوہ سائرہ زبیر بھی امیدوار ہیں۔
مسلم لیگ نون کے سربراہ نواز شریف کی بیٹی نے اسی حلقے سے اپنے والد کی انتخابی مہم چلارہی ہیں۔ اس حلقے سے مسلم لیگ نون کے سابق رکن قومی اسمبلی بلال یاسین کو اس بار صوبائی اسمبلی کی نشست دی گئی ہے۔
بلال یاسین مسلم لیگ نون کے سربراہ کی اہلیہ کلثوم نواز کے قریبی رشتہ دار ہیں۔ گزشتہ انتخابات میں کلثوم نواز نے قومی اسمبلی کے حلقہ این اے 120 سے کاغذات نامزدگی جمع کرائے تھے تاہم انہوں نے انتخابات میں حصہ نہیں لیا تھا۔
شہباز شریف نے لاہور سے قومی اسمبلی کے حلقہ این اے 129 کے علاوہ صوبائی اسمبلی کے دو حلقوں سے بھی امیدوار ہیں۔ وہ اس حلقے سے پہلی بار انتخاب لڑ رہے ہیں اور ان کا مقابلہ پیپلز پارٹی کے سابق رکن قومی اسمبلی طارق بشیر سے ہے۔
اس حلقے سے تحریک انصاف کے دو امیدوار ہیں اسی لیے تحریک انصاف نے اس حلقہ سے ابھی تک کسی بھی امیدوار کو پارٹی ٹکٹ جاری نہیں کیا۔
حمزہ شہباز کو لاہور کے حلقہ این اے 119 سے ٹکٹ دیا گیا ہے وہ گزشتہ انتخابات میں اسی حلقہ سے کامیاب ہوئے تھے۔ اس حلقہ میں ان کی بیوی ہونے کی دعویْ دار عائشہ ملک بھی ان کے مقابلے میں میدان میں ہیں۔
حمزہ شہباز قومی اسمبلی کی نشست کے علاوہ پنجاب اسمبلی کے ایک حلقہ 141 سے بھی امیدوار ہیں۔
پاکستان تحریک انصاف کے سربراہ عمران خان بھی لاہور کے قومی اسمبلی کے حلقہ این اے 122 سےامیدوار ہیں۔ ان کا مسلم لیگ نون کے سابق رکن قومی اسمبلی سردار ایاز صادق سے مقابلہ ہے۔ اس حلقے سے پیپلز پارٹی کے بیرسٹر عامر حسین کو ٹکٹ دیا گیا ہے جو پہلی بار انتخاب لڑ رہے ہیں۔
سپریم کورٹ کے سابق صدر اور پیپلز پارٹی کے سینیٹر اعتراز احسن کی جگہ ان کی بیوی بشریْ اعتراز پیپلز پارٹی کی امیدوار ہیں اور ان کا مقابلہ مسلم لیگ نون کے سابق رکن قومی اسمبلی شیخ روحیل اصغر اور قومی شاعر علامہ اقبال کے پوتے منیب اقبال سے ہے۔
ولید اقبال تحریک انصاف کی جانب سے امیدوار ہیں اور ان کے والد جسٹس جاوید اقبال مسلم لیگ نون کے ٹکٹ پر سینیٹر رہ چکے ہیں۔
خیال رہے کہ 1970 کے عام انتخابات میں لاہور سے پیپلز پارٹی کے بانی ذوالفقار علی بھٹو کا مقابلہ علامہ اقبال کے بیٹے جسٹس جاوید اقبال سے ہوا تھا اور نواز شریف کے والد میاں شریف نے جاوید اقبال کا ساتھ دیا تاہم جاوید اقبال کو شکست کا سامنا کرنا پڑا۔
لاہور کے حلقہ این اے 127 سے سابق گورنر پنجاب سردار لطیف کھوسہ کے بیٹے لطیف کھوسہ پیپلز پارٹی کے امیدوار ہیں جبکہ ان کے مقابل مسلم لیگ نون کے وحید عالم خان اور تحریک انصاف کے نصر اللہ ہیں۔ یہ تین امیدواروں پہلی انتخاب میں حصہ لے رہے ہیں۔
سابق گورنر پنجاب میاں اظہر جو خود بھی لاہور سے انتخاب لڑ چکے ہیں اس بار ان کا بیٹا بیرسٹر حماد اظہر قومی اسمبلی کی نشست کے امیدوار ہیں۔ ان کا مقابلہ مسلم لیگ نون کے سابق رکن قومی اسمبلی مہر اشتیاق اور پیپلز پارٹی کے رہنما اورنگ زیب برکی سے ہے۔
قومی اسمبلی کے حلقہ این اے 130 سے سابق وفاقی وزیر ثمینہ گھرکی امیدوار ہیں۔ اس سے حلقے مسلم لیگ نون نے نیا امیدوار متعارف کرایا ہے اور اب یہاں سے مسلم لیگ نون کے سہیل شوکت بٹ امیدوار ہیں۔

Democracy at its best: Kith and kin grab a lion’s share of PML-N tickets​



- See more at: http://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/201...-share-of-pml-n-tickets/#sthash.7x7sgEoO.dpuf

ISLAMABAD - The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), which trumpeted the mantra of fair play and judicious distribution of party tickets for the forthcoming general elections, has left all other political parties far behind in the race of injudicious distribution of tickets. The kith and kin of the PML-N leadership have grabbed a lion’s share in the distribution of party tickets for reserved and general seats.​
The Sharif family is leading the race and about 30 percent of tickets have been awarded to close relatives of the family.​
The party’s Information Secretary Mushahidullah Khan, who is a senator himself, has managed two party tickets for his daughters for the reserved seats of the National and Sindh assemblies respectively.​
Another PML-N leader, Saad Rafique, who always talks about principles and democracy, has reportedly fought hard to gain a handsome share of party tickets for his family. He himself would contest from NA-125, while his younger brother Salman Rafique would contest for a Punjab Assembly seat. Another close relative of Saad has been accommodated on reserved seats for women.​
Saad’s wife Ghazala has also served as an MPA on a reserved seat in the previous term, while Salman was adviser to the chief minister on health.

Another Leaguer, Jaffer Iqbal Gujjar, is not far behind Saad Rafiq, as he has also succeeded in winning four tickets for his family.

His son Umer Jafar, daughter Zeb Jafar, son-in-law Faisal Iqbal and niece Maiza Hameed Gujjar have been awarded tickets for the upcoming elections.

PML-N Chairman and Senator Raja Zafarul Haq’s niece was also awarded a ticket.

The new entrant into the party’s fold, Amir Muqam, was rewarded for parting ways with the PML-Q and has been given two tickets, disappointing many aspirants who blame a few influentials in the party for the withdrawal of their names. ​
​
Pervaiz Malik is contesting for a National Assembly seat from Lahore and his wife has been selected on a reserved seat for the National Assembly.

Marvi Memon, who is contesting election on the general seat of PS-88 from Thatta, is also on the list of reserved seats

Similarly, PML-N provincial leader Nehal Hashmi’s wife Faryal Rabab Hashmi was never seen in any activity of the party, but her name is in the priority list for women’s reserved seats.

“Despite tall claims of bringing in new faces in the forthcoming elections, the PML-N kept its old tradition alive and only a handful of powerful big guns kept the ideological and loyal party workers at bay by once again winning a lion’s share in award of tickets for their families in the coming elections,” said Nayyar Sultana, a diehard party worker.

“PML-N’s loyal leaders and workers – who stood beside the Sharif brothers in thick and thin and kept fighting the war for the party’s survival when their leadership left them in the lurch by settling themselves in Saudi Arabia –have been given a cold shoulder, and tickets have been awarded on the basis of nepotism, likes and dislikes,” she added.

According to political analysts, the PML-N leadership would have to pay an unprecedented price for such an indifferent attitude towards the loyal and time-tested workers of the party, who were left high and dry in the award of ticket, causing deep cracks within the party.

The political pundits said results of the upcoming elections would be quite surprising, so it was the need of the hour to go to the polls with new faces, as the people were fed up with the old ones.

They said the PML-N should revisit its policy otherwise the election result might be very shocking for it.

The irate party workers were of the view that in nominating candidates for reserved seats, the party leaders had preferred their family members over sincere and active workers, vowing they would stage protests to get their demands accepted.

They alleged that the PNL-N leadership had committed “nepotism” by selecting the “wives and daughters” as candidates for reserved women seats.

Despite repeated attempts, PML-N Information Secretary Mushahidullah Khan did not respond to Pakistan Today’s calls.​

ایاز امیر کے ساتھ کیا ہوا
http://dawn.com/2013/04/17/ayaz-amir-faces-opposition-within-pml-n/
Sour grapes or an end foretold?
As a bag-carrier of the N or Nawaz League, a role forced upon me by Chakwal necessity, I experienced in full measure three things: mediocrity, self-righteousness (amazing amounts of it) and a level of sycophancy on the part of senior N leaders enough to drive anyone out of his mind.​
But I was caught in a web. I had left the N in 1998, having resigned from the Punjab Assembly, realising that by entering electoral politics I had messed up my journalism. Ruining journalism for politics – not a happy exchange. But the Musharraf coup and local Chakwal politics drove me into the N’s arms again.​
Everyone who mattered in Chakwal – the district nazim, Majeed Malik, N’s former federal minister – had all joined Musharraf’s party leaving the opposite side barren and empty. To preserve some kind of balance locally I contested Musharraf’s 2002 elections on an N ticket – and how delighted they were that I was offering myself for sacrifice when the N ticket was anything but a prized commodity – and got a respectable 70,000 to the winner’s 71,500.​
And perhaps even this would have been different if ISI officers, ultimate arbiters in that particular exercise of the ballot, had not sat behind the returning officers.​
And my columns used to be read with such delight in Jeddah where the bewildered paladins of the ‘heavy mandate’ were living out their time in self-chosen exile – this the result of a Saudi and Hariri-mediated deal, whereby the Sharifs washed their hands of national politics for ten years in return for generous Saudi hospitality.​
It is another matter that the Sharifs, never ones to proclaim inconvenient truths, kept denying this deal until Prince Muqrin, the Saudi intelligence chief, had to come to Islamabad and (unprecedentedly) address a press conference where he waved the paper with the deal on it. For anyone else this would have been a knock-out blow. Not for our champions who promptly came back with​
the rejoinder that the deal was only for five years, not ten, a declaration of innocence which left most observers flabbergasted.​
Then came the 2008 elections and I led the pack in Chakwal, except for one constituency virtually deciding which ticket should go to whom. As for myself, I got 125,437 votes, the highest in Punjab.​
But that was then and this is now, and this time – to my infinite relief, you’ll have to believe this – the ticket has not been given to me... because my journalism did not go down well with the party mandarins, and my face, nothing much to begin with, they had begun to dislike. I knew that parting time had come but hung on, not wishing to reinforce the impression among my constituents that I was a regular ‘resignation’ man.​
​
But whatever the reason you will have to believe me when I say, what a relief, almost like getting out of a tight pair of clothes that one has worn for too long. I had enough sense not to turn my column into a party propaganda column, and thank God for that. But while I took jabs at the leadership I was not completely my own man, party affiliation, whether I liked it or not, holding me back and inhibiting my style.​
​
I lampooned, among other things, Nawaz Sharif’s stand on Memogate, considering him to be out of his depth and not understanding the shaping of that particular episode. But I could not say what I thought needed to be said regarding the Asghar Khan judgement by the Supreme Court. Here was an open-and-shut case where a long line of politicians headed by Nawaz Sharif and Shahbaz Sharif were caught with their pants down receiving ISI money, from ISI officers, in the 1990 elections. But no follow-up action, no prosecution, no accountability – the culprits behaving as if they had been washed in holy water.​
​
Imagine if the Asghar Khan case was about the PPP, and not the N League. All hell would have broken loose, the declamations we would have heard, the fire and thunder from the courts, the self-righteous grandstanding. Pervaiz Ashraf, the former prime minister, is disqualified on the basis of a CDA transaction, but the Asghar Khan culprits wear suits of Teflon...nothing has stuck to them.​
​
​
And although I kept writing about the moon and the stars, Ghalib and Saigal, holy fathers and holy water, about the naked double standards on display in this case – stentorian verdict pronounced but no action afterwards – I said nothing, party affiliation keeping me mum, ridicule locked up in my heart and there causing internal damage.​
​
​
There was more hilarity on parade. Bank defaulters, we were told, would be out of the elections. It is hard to think of any fat cat losing sleep over this. The Chaudhrys have been great ones for having their loans written off, everything in order on paper. But the Sharifs went one step further, not going to the trouble of getting anything written off and instead simply refusing to pay anything on the near-three-billion rupee loan taken by them from the National Bank and eight other banks in the 1990s.​
​
All this was ‘regularised’ when Nawaz Sharif became prime minister in 1997 and he went on television and proudly declared that his family was clearing the loans by offering assets in lieu of them. Sharif suggested that this was an act of unrivalled sacrifice.​
​
That the collateral offered was in the form of their most rundown assets is beside the point. The echoes of that announcement had hardly died down when a Sharif relative went to court saying he was a shareholder in the properties offered and that Sharif had no right to dispose them off. This matter is pending in the Lahore High Court, Allah be praised, for the last 15 years. The defaulters concerned are of course preparing to save the nation once more, as they announce the imminent birth of a new dawn.​
Zardari was always Zardari, never pretending to be anything else. The Sharifs were who they were but through an optical illusion with few parallels in the nation’s history we were also expected to take them as sole claimants to that hallowed space called the moral high ground. Loan artists of a kind seldom witnessed before in the annals of Pakistani banking, at the same time high priests of morality: not an easy stunt to pull off.​
​
I was critical but off and on and with my pistols half-cocked, enduring in smouldering silence the speeches of my colleague Chaudhry Nisar Ali who excelled at going on and on, at times for two hours on end, convinced he was Cicero when he was boring everyone to death. For errant politicians in need of a lesson few punishments can be more effective than having to listen to his speeches. They will soon be on their knees, begging for mercy.​
​
The PPP has been a disaster thrice-over, not counting Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s stint in office. The N League has been an equal disaster, the recent performance of Punjab’s little Hitler, Shahbaz Sharif, looking good only when compared to the PPP. Although on a dispassionate scale what he has to show for himself does not go beyond a line of expensive and directionless gimmicks: sasti roti, laptops, Daanish schools, etc. So there’s not much to choose from here.​
​
Einstein’s definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. From stale porridge we have tried before, we are expecting something new. There’s no easy cure for such a malady.​
​
Tailpiece: Musharraf’s judicial hounding: in his position one gets what one deserves. But I wish our memories were not so selective. Everyone remembers, and waxes heroic about, November 3, 2007, completely ignoring October 12, 1999, when Musharraf and his generals committed their original sin. Is it because it suits us to forget some uncomfortable truths? The then judiciary, which includes present-day eminences, validated his coup not once but twice and there was no shortage of judges who took oath under Musharraf’s PCO. Shouldn’t this inculcate in everyone concerned a touch of humility?​
