As year 2017 is ending in next three days and the country is cash starved to meet its international obligations, the political and religious forces are closing their circle around Sharif brothers to take revenge of June 2014 Model Town tragedy and blunder of changing wording of oath of Khatm-e-Nabuwwat.

A very confident and exuberant Dr Qadri said "while the elder Sharif went home in Panama case, the younger brother will go home in Model Town case. He said the nation should be informed on whose orders the police force of 45 police stations came for operation in Model Town, if not on those of the Chief Minister himself.
Meanwhile, the deadline given by Pir Hameeduddin Sialvi for resignation of Rana Sanaullah to resign before 31st December on account of his controversial statement expires within three days on 31st.

Meanwhile more and more religious and political parties are announcing their support for sanctity Khatm-e-Nabuwwat. Political observers have noted that though the disqualified prime minister is putting up a brave face, against the coming bad times for his party, his younger brother CM Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif left for Saudi Arabia on Wednesday on a special plane sent by the Saudi government to "hold important meetings there." It is worth mentioning that Saudi Arabia has been Pakistan's best friend since its inception and tried to bridge destabilizing political differences between the government and opposition parties.
