One of the camels of the country’s politics, which is suffering from Madu Jazer, has finally sat down. The PML-N accepted the conditions of the PPP and decided on the big stage of government formation, but another political camel is yet to sit down.
Important talks between MQM and PML-N are taking place today in Islamabad, in which the power-sharing formula between these two parties will be decided.
PML-N has 79 seats and PPP has 54 seats. The number of general seats in the National Assembly is 266, 60 seats are reserved for women and 10 for non-Muslims.
Thus, the total number of National Assembly is 336. In other words, to form a strong government, PML-N needs some other former allies including MQM with 17 seats.
In the negotiations of PML-N and PPP, it has been agreed that Shahbaz Sharif will be the Prime Minister and Asif Zardari will be the President. The Chairman of the Senate will belong to the PPP and the Deputy Chairman will belong to the National League, the Speaker of the National Assembly will belong to the National League and the Deputy Speaker will belong to the PPP.
Progress has also been made regarding the provincial governors that the governor of Punjab will be appointed while the PML-N will nominate the governors of Sindh and Balochistan.
A leading figure of MQM told Rakim Al-Haruf that Sindh governorship is included among the positions MQM will insist on today for an alliance with 17 seats.
It is not clear whether PML-N will give the post of Governor of Sindh to MQM or not, but by removing PPP from Sindh governorship, PML-N has ensured that this position can be discussed with MQM.
The question is, why is such a constitutional position important for MQM, which has negligible powers? The annual budget of the Governor’s House is so low that it is a big deal if the petrol and maintenance of the protocol vehicles and tea and water for the staff are also met.
If we look at the actions of Muhammad Kamran Khan Tesuri, the answer to all these things will come out.
This is the same Kamran Khan Tesori who for a long time was not even considered acceptable in the movement by the top leaders of MQM. It turned out that Farooq Sattar, who advocated Kamran Khan Tesuri, was also not given importance. Even then he accepted Kamran Tesori as his step son.
When Kamran Khan Tesuri took over as Governor on 10 October 2022, the general perception was that he would not be able to make it to his place. Unaware of the film history of the country, Imran Khan mocked his twenty-three and called him ‘Mulajit’.
Proving the political tyrants wrong, Kamran Tesori opened the doors of the Governor’s House to the public and then started one welfare project after another with the help of industrialists and businessmen. He even opened a modern university in the Governor’s House where IT Expensive education is being given for free.
With these measures, Governor Tesori quickly made a name for himself in the most important city of the province, especially Karachi, and also improved the reputation of the MQM, which was affected after the controversial speech of August 22, and the elected representatives of this movement also went public. He was apparently starting to shy away.
In less than 2 years, Kamran Tesuri has done such a miracle that not only he has made a name in business circles but he has also become a favorite of diplomats of different countries.
Apart from Kamran Tesori, there has hardly been any governor of Sindh who had one foot in Karachi and the other in Islamabad or other parts of the country.
When there are national days of different countries, Governor Tesori is not only the chief guest in Karachi, but he is also invited as a special guest in the events organized in Islamabad.
Tradition and protocol require that if the President or the Prime Minister visits the governor’s house of a province and the governor is in the country, he must be in his official residence on that occasion.
Caretaker Prime Minister Anwar-ul-Haq Kakar came to Karachi a few days ago where he addressed thousands of students learning information technology at the Governor’s House. Governor Tesori was forced to stay in Islamabad due to being a part of MQM’s negotiating team on government formation. . The Caretaker Prime Minister did not postpone the visit even knowing about the Governor’s initiative regarding modern education.
In a personal capacity, Kamran Khan Tesuri has also established close relations with the PML-N leadership during this period. This is the reason why Governor Tesuri had a special meeting with Mian Nawaz Sharif and Ishaq Dar when he went to London before Nawaz Sharif’s return home. This is the reason why he is an acceptable figure for the PML-G as a governor.
Due to these actions, Kamran Khan Tesuri gained fame and also increased his rivalry in some circles of MQM. Instead of trying to get ahead of each other among the members of the political parties, MQM is probably insisting on PML-N to take the governorship of Sindh because Kamran Tesori has become a positive image of MQM in this difficult time.
