After judging the mood of the Supreme Court, Mr Babar Awan has tendered his unconditional apology on his behaviour and words that led to suspension of his license and a contempt case in the court. It seems almost all the leaders of PPP are now facing, or have faced, courts in one way or another.
It is very unfortunate that since coming into power of the present government the country gradually is sliding into an atmosphere of political instability culminating in economic and energy crisis.
The crisis of today’s Pakistan is lack of visionary leadership. If the government side is deprived of any far sighted leadership, a total bankruptcy of visionary leadership is to be found in the opposition as well. In the given conditions, the people of Pakistan in general and the youth of Pakistan in particular will have to take the bull by the horns and initiate a struggle of their own instead of waiting for any messiah.
When Mr Zulfikar Ali Bhutto laid the foundation of PPP in 1968, he was also a newcomer as compared to the giants present in the political arena for 50 to 60 years, but the youth of Pakistan rallied around him and performed miracles for Pakistan. Let us hope that one of us from the youth will stand up and lead the revolution.
