  1. It must be conceded that the past four and a half years of an elected PPP-led coalition government have been some of the toughest for any elected government in our history. Not only has the government been under pressure if not siege from the cast of usual suspects, including the military and an overly assertive judiciary, the opposition has blown hot and cold in terms of cooperation with, and also stubborn resistance to, the present dispensation. The challenges faced by any government taking over after the traumatic assassination of Benazir Bhutto and the depredations left behind as a legacy by the Musharraf dictatorship would have tested the most resolute of political leaderships. PPP had no quantum of solace since it came into power. Historically you can analyze this fact that PPP was never given a smooth ride to run this country. Constant leg pulling, conspiracy, palace intrigues and mudslinging always hindered process of delivering. Yet PPP is stick to strengthen democracy in this country.
