The political scenario in Pakistan has changed. As PPP has spent almost four years in governance and political parties have started keeping their eyes are on the coming elections, they are busy in rallies and arranging public meetings to attract public’s attention towards their rhetorical speeches. The politics of cross-allegations have started among the political parties to humiliate or disgrace one another.
Recently, Nawaz Sharif addressed a public meeting in Dhobi Ghat, Faisalabad and claimed rhetorically to apply ointment on the injuries of the nation. He vowed to heal the nation’s sorrows claiming that he would root out corruption and bring the corrupt leaders to book. Will he bring himself to book for what he did in the past? Didn’t he embezzle during his governance?
He levelled allegations on PPP and Asif Ali Zardari. The sitting government has pushed Pakistan to darkness. Corruption, inflation, energy crisis, gas loadshedding, hike in petrol prices and various other crises have engulfed Pakistan due to PPP’s wrong policies. Unfortunately, we daily listen to various accords signed by the sitting governments concerning trade issues, energy issues and others but the accords disappear from the sight after a short time.
Countering Nawaz Sharif’s address, PPP’s Mr Babar Awan immediately called on a press conference. He claimed Nawaz Sharif’s public meeting in Faisalabad was the start of PML(N)’s end. How disgusting it is! Perhaps Mr Awan has forgotten his own tenure when he used to be secretary of Zia-ul-Haq and made speeches in Dhobi Ghaat on behalf of the late general. Now he speaks against the general because of his position and other interests in PPP.
Rhetorical speeches cannot solve nation’s problems. We condemn such politicians who just speak and do nothing for the nation. Also Mr Babar Awan should leave politics of the martyred and start politics of the alive. The PPP government always refers to their martyrs but why they don’t think of the alive who are losing their lives due to bad governance and policies.
