The security situation in the country necessitates consummate cooperation and harmony not only among the political leadership of the country but also in their political messages and public appeals. Pakistan Armed Forces are fighting decisive war against terrorism resulting in influx of IDPs in millions. In such a situation all the political stakeholders of the country should come up with practical strategies to mobilise human and financial resources to help the IDPs. But unfortunately few political parties like PTI and PAT have opted for heating up the political issues. Instead of motivating the masses to gear up their moral, financial and practical support for operation against terrorists, these parties are focusing on their political point scoring. The prime minister has rightly given the message that these elements should fully support the operation and instead of working against the democratic set up they should utilise its platform to air their concerns. It is hoped that sanity will prevail and parties will decide in larger national interest to strengthen the democratic setup in such crucial point of time.
