The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) has ramped up its criticism of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government, deciding to openly challenge its policies. Sources indicate that PPP leaders have been given the green light to publicly criticize government decisions, particularly at the federal and provincial levels.
PPP leadership has issued specific guidelines, urging members to speak out against what they deem as ineffective and flawed government policies. The party has emphasized that remaining silent would imply tacit approval of the government’s actions, prompting a call for opposition on critical issues.
The party fears that inaction on its part could result in political fallout, with blame for the government’s missteps potentially falling on the opposition. PPP leaders are keen to avoid any damage to the party’s reputation and aim to hold the government accountable for its failings.
As part of this strategy, PPP has directed its central and provincial leaders to highlight the shortcomings of the federal governmentโs policies, signaling a shift from its previously more cautious approach. This move marks a deepening political rivalry between the two dominant political forces in the country.
