Navaz Sharif - the PM of Pakistan
16.07.2017
Ahmed Rajeev
Pakistan witnesses the largest political crisis in recent years. Leaders of the main opposition parties called on Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to step down because of the corruption charges brought against him by the investigation team formed by the country's Supreme Court. Increasing instability in the only Muslim country that possesses nuclear weapons raises fears of experts.

The crisis began with the publication of the famous Panama Papers in April 2016. Among the published documents, there was also compromising evidence on the family of the Pakistani prime minister. According to them, the children of Sharif allegedly related to offshore companies Nescoll Limited, Nielson Holdings Limited, Coomber Group Inc., and Hangon Property Holdings Limited. From 2006 to 2007, these firms were engaged in buying up elite housing in London for a total of up to 13.8 million dollars.

The political scientist from Bangladesh Ahmed Rajeev shared his view on the origins and prospects of political crisis:

6th April 2016, Wikileaks revealed that Panama Papers leak was funded by USAID and George Soros’s Open Society Foundation. Many analysts agreed that the US government is pursuing a worldwide destabilization policy, and the particular Panama papers leak has been serving the purpose of destabilization since the country has been losing her liberal imperial adventures and now wants all the dollars back into her vault in the coming period of great financial crisis. Therefore, the Panama papers leak is not trustworthy at all. It serves primarily the US interest. Moreover, Pakistan’s main opposition leader Imran Khan is acting as political puppet of the US. He and his party are following the so called Panama paper leaks to mobilize people against the prime minister undermining the negative consequences.

On July 7th 2017, the former Pakistani army chief retired Gen Raheel Sharif, the head of the Saudi-led Islamic Military Alliance to Fight Terrorism came from Saudi Arabia by a special plane. Local media reported that some Saudi nationals accompanied Gen Sharif who reportedly left for his residence from Lahore airport’s old terminal while the Saudis moved to a local hotel. His surprising come back coincided with the timing of corruption probe against Nawaz Sharif. Therefore, a ground breaking role can be speculated from the ex-army chief. On the other hand, the US is not willing to pull off so easily from the only Muslim country that has nuclear bombs. It is also true that regarding Pakistan, the US and Saudi Arabia both have similar aim of controlled destabilization in the region for gaining geostrategic upper hand in dealing Russia, China, India, Central Asia and Iran. Therefore, the opposition leader Imran Khan and Gen Raheel Sharif both have the same aim of regime change. I assume they are working together.

It is also well known fact that Pakistan was supported heavily for a very long period of time on the military ground by the US for implementing the US favored geopolitical and geostrategic policy in the Af-Pak region and to increase influence in Central Asia, Iran and India aimed at containing Russia and China. But the current government under Nawaz Sharif appeared as an obstacle to implement such western project since he has given more importance to China-Pakistan relationship and Russia-Pakistan relationship than that of US-Pakistan. Subsequently, the US policy makers are very possibly seeking regime change in Pakistan to destabilize the country in order to disrupt the CPEC project and the Russia-Pakistan rapprochement under the double containment or neo-containment policy.

The current political tension of Pakistan will be raised more. Already, Nawaz Sharif said that he would not step down. Therefore, there is a high chance of high-conflict oriented political and security instability inside Pakistan. Such security chaos also has the potential to turn into regional chaos if any external force supports to expand the radical extremism as a proxy force as we have observed in Syria and Iraq and several other places of Middle East crisis. Since Pakistan has nuclear arsenals, the proxy war will be very risky for the South Asian region. Terrorists will seek to use those weapons against adversaries to create a long lasting fear of nuclear massacre.

Nawaz Sharif is very greedy. He is still refusing to quit even after probe shows that he is guilty.

Nawaz Sharif being in power is a good thing for India. He's a corrupt little neta just like Lalu and company. We know he wants peace - because war is bad for business and bad for corruption.

Nawaz Sharif being PM is good for Porki army, as they can manipulate him very easily and continue to hold real power. He knows they can shoot him anytime, and stays away from actual decision-making.

Though a remote possibility, this could in fact be a conspiracy. We'll have to see how this pans out - the army might just be using Panama Papers as leverage. I don't think they want him ousted.

Who the PM is in pak doesn't matter whatsoever w.r.t India. All the mis-adventures against India come from ISI & Paki Army. PM is not even informed most of the times. Doesn't matter who the new PM is, things will still be run by ISI & Army.

Agreed, but it is better that the PM and ISI be divergent on issues and suspicious of one another, rather than work as one unit to harm India's interests. Imagine if the PM were a competent jihadi like Bhutto Sr - things would be much worse. Better the civilian government and army be paranoid about each other than hand-in-glove.

He would be hanged at the gallows just like Bhutto Sr.

Napaki fauj has ensured that a competent Napaki political leadership will NOT emerge. All PMs since Bhutto Sr. (nearly all before him as well to be fair) have been vapid, inept or good only for optics like Pinky begum. Anyone with even a semblance of competence have either been exiled (Altaf) or halaaled (Murtaza, Shah Nawaz).

The probable next PM Im the dim is all set to continue that illustrious tradition. Too many skeletons in that closet for him to take on the establishment.

For the Napaki fauj, Ganja has outlived his usefulness, so has his family. So with one stroke of Panama, the entire family has had their nuts and nutellas squeezed in a nut cracker. Strangely, the only one left out of this mess is Shabaz Shareef, Ganja's younger, but reportedly more able and competent brother. Wonder what will happen to him.

US would like to change any regime in Pakistan that would want and try for actual peace with India. Nawaj has given many such indication that he want to improve relation with India, directly/indirectly questioning Pak army, spoke for minority, admitted of Kargil backstabbing. If US wants to have influence on Pakistan, anti-India government or establishments must have greater authority in Pakistan. So it is not an ideal situation for US. I had already been thinking that some foreign element could be involved in Panama case against Nawaj and his family from the beginning.
