The token sit-in by the opposition and some of the PML(Q) Like-minded MNAs, PPP MNA from Balochistan, etc has created quite a stir. It appears (as per speeches of the participants of the sit-in), that the days of this government who have miserably failed on many counts, are numbered.
I personally feel that the government will be able to drag along for fiveyears. Come what may, these rulers will not accept their failure and quit. An example in this regard is Ayub Khan who was forced to quit the presidency due to riots due to rise in sugar price. But what has gone wrong now? Or may I dare to comment what is right today ? No governance, poor law and order, wrong foreign policy, corruption at all levels, people starving, no gas and no electricity. I read a report in your paper that USD 97 billions are the deposits of Pakistanis in Swiss Banks. Whoa!
This is perhaps one of the few countries where the sons and daughters of our leaders, bureaucrats and even officers like an SDO/XEN are studying in the USA. What an amazing country. This overt form of corruption can be cured if we have true accountability in place. But, who will bell the cat?
