That’s the recent activity going on. President Zardari also known as the best man to negotiate and settle deals, has been sent to the conference after countless requests to attend the summit. The core issues that have to be settled are Drones, Apology from US, reopening of the NATO Supply route and most important of all “Dollars – the foreign aid†we would get after advertising and selling our remaining pride, respect and honor. I am sure President would certainly not disappoint us in this important matter. On the other hand we the Pakistanis are so excited to have the Turk Prime Minister. Long live Turk-Pakistan friendship and may they prosper ever after and blah blah blah. But, why is the Turk PM in Pakistan suddenly on such a short notice? I am sure he is not here for sightseeing or the mango season. Although there was a dinner announced later that evening by PM Gillani in honor of the Turkish PM, which was boycotted by the friendly opposition. Given the ex-PM's preferences in food items, apparently the opposition’s protest at the moment was that why “Murgh Choola†and “Paaye†are not included on the menu being the national cuisine of Pakistan. Now due to the current circumstances the American Congress has decided to stop all the funds and defense coalition with Pakistan as a good gesture of their kind rebuttal. NATO has recommended in the summit to Pakistan to open the supply routes and get back on track. But I believe it’s more of an order to open up the supply routes or else!!! Get ready for the surprise gift. Cutting the facts out this is what seems to be the picture, the friendly opposition is persistent that US apologizes for the Salalah Attack & NATO supply should not be opened. They are acting like brats and not pay attention to their immediate guardians a.k.a. PPP. Therefore their foster parents decided that the Turk PM should address the parliament floor and make them realize that they have grown up and to show some flexibility and matureness in these issues. Turk PM would negotiate with the opposition. On the flip side President Zardari would be cutting the deal pretty efficiently. And it seems this is what would happen. The NATO supply route would open soon and they agree on the transit fees per container going through our route. Zardari has demanded $5000 from the current $250, which am sure would be settled somewhere in the middle. He is good at negotiating, kudos for that. The apology from US would never arrive. Drones would get stopped for some time as the elections are near and sooner the technology would be owned by Pakistan itself, hence then it would be acceptable. The foreign aids would begin coming in again with more interest rates, cut backs and harsh conditions to inflate. And the Turkish babysitter would look after the spoiled opposition. Case dismissed, Long live Pakistan. The opinions expressed in the above article are of the writer only and do not necessarily represent Aaj.tv/Aaj News policies or views.
