Filed Under Pakistan | Leave a Comment

President Pervez Musharraf’s ruling out the possibility of formation of a national government is clear enough to show the intention of his government to let the polls be held on time. The spokesman of the president Maj. Gen (retd.) Rashid Qureshi confirmed and affirmed the statement of the president, Demand of a national government is coming from those who overestimated their public support and that of their allies. They decided to boycott elections and they find themselves left alone in the lurch.

America and other western powers have already experienced their by asserting to have the elections on time. Postponement of election on one pretext or the other will not lead to any safe corner. When all major political parties are participating, a free and fair election is the only course which will take the wrecking ship to safe shore. A government of national consensus may be formed on the basis of the results of election by allowing all major political parties of the country to play their role in resolving the problems the nation is faced with. Boycotters will stay away with patience till the next elections after five years. To allow the elected government to complete its term is the most important element of the democratic process.

Filed Under Pakistan | Leave a Comment

The tragic blast of Karachi, January 19 took nine precious lives and left fifty two seriously wounded rendering them fully and partially crippled. How the incident took place is not so important. When and why are of prime significance. The unfortunate incident took place when President Pervez Musharraf was present in the city. No sooner than the blast took place firing and picketing started in various parts of the city, almost simultaneously. Losses caused by the hooliganism yet remain to be reported. But serious traffic jams and fear were immediate results.

Some channels were found crying hoarse to give impetus to the fact people of particular ethnic group were made target. Some people were also shown expressing anger that no ambulance had reached for two hours whereas slides were running of TV that authorities and ambulances had reached the place of happening. It all seemed to be a preplanned scheme to create trouble.

Now when the government is bent upon holding the election on stipulated time and the major political parties have decided to fight the battle by ballots any sort of chaos may benefit only those who made wrong decisions to boycott elections.
