Is it not the first time that white ruling Muhajirs came on streets in Lahore with full support of establishment. The northern belt of Punjab is heavily populated with white Punjabi speaking ruling class Muhajirs from Indian Punjab. And indigenous communities like convert Mazhabi Sikhs now called Maseih and pejoratively Chorhas, Muslim Shiekhs now called Mussali and menial caste Kammis now called Dehi Khatmatgar and these communities are in bonded labour situation in Punjab. Ratio of Punjabi Muhajirs in Northren Punjab is very high than indigenous black population. It is first time in Pakistan that Sindhi, Siraiki, Pashtu and Balochs (Black+White) but indigenous ruling class is governing Pakistan and provinces. The Punjabi Muhajirs always had backing of Army and they could not digest the current scenario and played a game by using issue of restoration of Chief Justice. The liberal and socialists like Palejo Sahib from Sindh are now part of that game. The Islamists like Imran Khan, Qazi Hussian Ahmed, Nawaz Sharif and our socialists however won the war and inspired Army and its agencies to intervene to restore CJ. Definitely this union of Islamists and Socialist led by Army will break PPP and other collation parties not in months but within days. And if PPP and collation parties will defy and resist that game then there are many chances of armed violence from side of secret agencies and their allies Talibans.
