PLM (n) should have also named Hamza Shahbaz as the PM nominee. Then we would have had the younger generation as our new leaders: Hamza, Bilawal and Asad. All hail the new young masters!

Maulana Fazlur Rehman is senior politician, his son is expected to be an excellent parliamentarian . There are talks in the town that MFR has interest in contesting for Presidency, and some parties already agreed, the tentative counting of all the legislators in Provincial + Federal+Senate, has comfortable votes to elect MFR as President of Pakistan, and to get absolute majority, MFR extend his hand for political friendship to Imran Khan, but ironically IK lost their opportunity. So what for sure if MFR did succeed in his obsession, IK may not get the better working relation with Presidency, and that could be yet another reason for weak government.
