Even though it’s too soon to be excited, this development has been a welcome surprise. Despite all of their disagreements, Pakistan’s prime minister and KP’s chief minister were able to have “good talks” on Wednesday about their future partnership. Therefore, it makes sense for the PTI government in KP and the PML-N government in Islamabad to maintain a steady working relationship. Since he presently has the upper hand, Mr. Sharif would want to think about other ways to defuse the situation, such advocating for the early release of political prisoners. Half of the crises will be resolved if politicians can come to an agreement to settle their differences between themselves.
