Hollow laments

The other day I went through the agony of watching Nawaz Sharif being interviewed by three very old journalists. NS's reply to every question ended with a lament against the PPP. He even complained of Pervez Musharraf getting a royal send off from the PPP. To the viewer, NS seemed to reiterate his total lack of maturity on national affairs. I am amazed that none of those journalists asked him as to why the Punjab government provides full security and protocol to the ex-President when he visits Lahore. These visits are going to be more frequent now as he loves Basant nights. -KHURAM KHAN, Lahore, via e-mail, February 8.
