With every passing day, the new assembly is swaying away from its mandated path. The two main partners have not matched the maturity shown by the nation. Recent developments do not suggest a smooth journey ahead. One cannot imagine that the 'N' leadership was so naive to trust PPP wholeheartedly. Nawaz Sharif and his party have done so much for lawyers, what has he got in return? Nothing. Once again Aitzaz is repeating mistakes of the recent past. It is time the lawyers returned the gesture and joined the PML (N) en mass. Aitzaz should provide the lead and fight bye-elections on PML ticket. Institutional movement needs political support which will follow in due course of time. Nawaz Sharif should not mix personal issues with the national ones and welcome all factions of Muslim League. One thing is for sure; Musharraf will never use 58 2 B. If he does, then he will go down with the PPP and PML (N) will sweep the next elections, the last thing he and his allies (PPP) want. -KHURAM KHAN, Lahore, via e-mail, May 18.
