The two major parties that have ruled the country in the past are currently under an unprecedented squeeze. Rana Sanaullah, the most important PML-N leader in Punjab after Shehbaz Sharif, has been arrested by the ANF on an improbable heroin smuggling charge.

Some of the differences between the opposition parties were brought to light during the Rahbar Committee meeting. Unless the opposition parties manage to evolve mutual trust, they may not be able to perform the role the masses expect from them.
