A strategy that may not helpWhat Nawaz Sharif wants to do in days to come is to present himself as a politician who has been more sinned against than sinning. The movement for the ‘restoration of justice’ is in fact a movement for his own restoration as the prime minister. The so called ideology is self- serving and alien to democratic traditionsBoth Maryam and Nawaz have put the SC and the military leadership in crosshairs. By insisting that the actual reason behind Sharif’s disqualification was the registration of the case against Musharraf the two are in fact blaming the army for his removal. Any move in the parliament to introduce a person-specific amendment to please Nawaz Sharif is likely to be resisted by most of the opposition parties.
