In the present political set-up of Pakistan, Chief Minister Punjab Mian Shahbaz Sharif has made himself conspicuous through his extraordinary performance. A clear vision and seriousness of purpose are his hallmark. He is seen to be working tirelessly to better the standards of governance in the province. I think the PPP government in Islamabad has much to learn from this man as it is drawing a lot of public ire for its inept handling of the affairs at the centre. A perception is presently gaining currency in the general public that given an opportunity, Mian Shahbaz Sharif would prove himself to be a better prime minister of the country than the present incumbent. The PML (N), and their allies in other parties, would do well to consider Mian Shahbaz Sharif's elevation as the Prime Minister of Pakistan in a future political dispensation. At this critical juncture we need a person of his serious commitment and dedication to steer the country towards stability. -TASNIM A. KHAN, Lahore, August 11.
