The circumstances in Pakistan are getting more atrocious on daily basis. It’s a fact that political instability ultimately leads to economic instability in a society. Unfortunately Pakistan is going through this phase.
People seem to be more distracted and infuriated by the economic instability in Pakistan. The ever-increasing prices of goods, unemployment and load shedding are making people edgy and intolerant. When they can’t make their ends meet, they come out on the street and start protests which lead to much loss of private and public property. These protests are of no use as the government doesn’t pay any heed to them.
Every political leader is taking full advantage of the people’s misery. Instead of working together to sort out the problems prevailing in the country, they behave childishly and indulge in blame games.
If indeed they want to help the people, they should put aside their petty partisan interests and work in unison. If they work together, as is the spirit of democracy, they can maybe bring some stability to the socio-political landscape of Pakistan.
