Recently, PML(N), the ruling party of Punjab, showed its strength by organising a rally in which myriad people participated. In their debates, the political leaders of the said organisation launched Go-Zardari-Go campaign and severely criticised the federal government. In response to this, the Punjab chapter of PPP organised press conferences in which provincial leaders of PPP passed eccentric remarks about Sharif brothers and their comrades.
Perhaps, the immaturity of our political leadership is playing an obstructionist role, more than any other, in the way of democracy. The leaders of both parties are raising slogans of high platitude in the favour of democracy but their actions are totally opposite to what they say. In this age of media, the time of platitudes has elapsed. Now the nation has become aware about its rights and knows how to protect democracy.
If both parties don’t want to derail the present democratic process, they should remain adherent to CoD. Otherwise, the nation will protect democracy but reject these two parties.
