Dear
By the way people like Shaukat Azeez also won 2002 (although a bit later) elections. The people who won in 2002 will never come on surface unless the strategy of a dictator will call for a need to utilize them for certain reasons. We can't quote 2002 as an example.
Nawaz shareef family in fact came on screen after the demise of Zia although Nawaz had earlier been elected (in fact selected) as Chief Minister Punjab in Junejo regime (in fact Zia regime).
These votes have never gone to the pocket of Maulanas even before the times of Nawaz's popularity. So, these will also not go to them even if NML disappears again.
I just remind that in the history of Pakistan whenever these Maulanas have won some seats that was merely the result of some rigging or conspiracy of external or internal factors.
The only one family that had been winning seats since inception is of Mufti Mahmood's family (now Maulana Fazal ur Rehman). Other some examples are of NWFP. However, a bit of fair elections bring ANP or PPP in power even in NWFP. In Sindh JI remained popular (at Karachi only) but emergence of MQM in Zia regime practically closed JI's chapter in Karachi for ever (at least for foreseeable future times).
Still, if you feel they are popular, I have no issue with your feeling and belief.

Kamran.
