With the general elections just two months away, the political temperature is rising. Already, some parties and their leaders have begun complaining about unfair play, specifically the lack of a level playing field, including PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto and the PTI.
These complaints are often veiled references to the alleged favouritism being shown to the PML-N by the institutions. The PPP chairman has also criticized the economic track record of the PML-N, which is akin to throwing stones while living in a glass house. Most people will likely be able to see this criticism for the self-serving political gimmick that it is. While the PTI and PPP are complaining about unfair treatment, neither of these parties objected to similar treatment meted out to the PML-N after the 2018 elections. The winds now appear to have changed course and are blowing in favour of the PML-N.
