KARACHI • The pro-Musharraf former ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Q, is passing through worst crisis as cracks are appearing among its ranks day by day and its leaders are either establishing forward blocs within the party or joining hands with its rivals PML-N or the PPP.

The political analysts say party was part of the ruling junta and when it suffered a crushing defeat in the Feb 18 general elections, its members start jettisoning the drowning PML-Q ship immediately, either through forming forward blocs or leaving the party for their political survival.

A perception has emerged among the political analysts after formation of the forward blocs of the PML-Q leaders three days back while several others including MNAs and MPAs in all the four provinces have already left the party and joined either of the two main parties.

When contacted, political analyst, Aamir Ahmed Khan, said that whenever a political party loses legitimacy, the process of its disintegration starts and the same is happening with the PML-Q.

He observed that it has been a tradition in Pakistani politics that a part of Muslim League always is created for establishing a government in the name of democracy and when that regime loses power, the same very PML faction, which had entered the corridors of power, starts disintegrating and eventually the party divides into numerous factions. Forward blocs appear within the party and cracks occur in its ranks and the PML-Q is experiencing the same fate these days.

He said “now a days whatever PML-Q facing is a natural process which always happened to such parties which lose their political legitimacy among the masses and eventually such a group of opportunists disappears from political scenario”.

Khan was of view that a lot of efforts had been done to do the same with the largest party in the country, PPP, by creating factions and groups within its ranks.
