Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has more foes than friends in his own party, who often miscalculate his clout and personal rapport with the Sharif brothers.Lately, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif distanced himself from the interior minister apparently owing to the sensitive issue of civil-military relations.Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif – whose friendship with the interior minister remains immune to ups and downs – controlled the damage.Chaudhry Nisar used to act as a go-between for Raiwind and GHQ. And when the prime minister broke that protocol, his relations with the interior minister deteriorated.One power center is the so-called Lahori group, consisting of Ishaq Dar, Khawaja Asif, Saad Rafique, Abid Sher Ali, Rana Sanaullah and others. All of them tend to feel closer to elder Sharif than his younger brother. –
