Without a prime ministerial discussion between the leaders of the main political parties, the 2024 election campaign comes to an end. Consequently, the country has been deprived of witnessing a thought-provoking, spirited, and knowledgeable discourse concerning pressing matters.
Typically, the nation saw nothing more than a theatrical production throughout this campaign. Each time, the leaders of the various political parties spoke to their own agitated audience while also repeating their rhetoric and making accusations against one another.
Why haven’t our political leaders engaged in a prime ministerial discussion, I wonder? Was it just that there had never been a custom like that before? Yes and no are the answers.
First, let’s investigate the background of this prime ministerial argument Pakistan.
I conducted in-depth interviews with former prime minister Benazir Bhutto on a variety of topics in 2007, as she was getting ready for her historic return. Her remarkable grasp of both internal and global topics made me think of US presidential discussions.
I have conducted multiple interviews with Nawaz Sharif, another former prime minister. Those were significant times.
After his banishment, Nawaz Sharif was now living in Dubai. This also provided an opportunity for Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto to get together and form an alliance against Pervez Musharraf, the dictator at the time.
Additionally, I was the first to interview the two prime ministers simultaneously as they were seated side by side at Senator Ishaq Dar’s Dubai home. They were going to sign a democratic charter soon.
