Politics of protests

Pakistan is a country where democracy is struggling to make its roots strong and deeper. But there are many hindrances on its way to development. More than half a century has passed since the independence, but unfortunately the country still falls in the category of underdeveloped or less developed.

The various elected governments took the reins of country but died a premature death. The present PPP-led government is an exceptional case that has survived more than previous elected governments. It’s a blessing for Pakistan. A few days ago, Begum Nusrat Bhutto, rightly titled as ‘Mother of Democracy’, passed away. It was a good to see that almost all politicians and other stakeholders showed great respect for her and paid homage to her.

But it was also sad to note that some political parties started to observe protests and strikes. It cannot be said a good omen for democracy and development of the country.

At least, they should have waited for the completion of rituals and ceremonies of that great leady who worked hard for democracy. It is true that the government may have not performed well, but the circumstances in which it came to rule were also not so great.

  1. nice article. yes u r right this govrnment took over rule in a critical situation but its an elected govt. all other parties gave all support to this govt to establish, get mature and rule fairly, but inspite of a friendly opposition govt failed to deliver services to public, the public related issues are still not been resolved, this puts a great ???? mark on efficiency of this govt. it is requested to elaborate ur view points with examples and logics to convince ur readers. thanx
