THE psychological attack by the opposition on the Imran Khan government is effective. The trickle of resignations in the hands of the aspiring senders, even if not in the mail yet, represent a threat. It’s like the tactic they employ inside torture cells, each drop creating its own telling ripple in the bucket, with the intense audience looking for it to fill up and the contents to spill over. It can be really annoying, and we all know how irritable those it is directed at usually are.
These were mainly resignations sent in to their lord-leaderships by the PML-N lawmakers to begin with. These were mainly from Punjab as another hectic day on Tuesday drew to a close. But here and there, there were PPP members throwing themselves in for variety.
