Without mincing words, let me say no one is sincere in resolving the national problems, and this is how the country is being run by the ruling elite for long. It was against such a background and with mounting desperation that the nation identified a saviour. The reality has left many disappointed and disillusioned.
The current opposition, after being ousted from power through a vote of no-confidence, has been ridiculing national institutions, spreading venomous propaganda against other politicians, blaming them for all the ills without proof, and labelling everyone ‘else’ a traitor. All this simply reflects immaturity and hunger for power.
Empty slogans, full stretch abuses, misogyny and sexism are used as tools that have torn apart our culture and civility. Let no one throw dust into eyes of sanity and sense, or whatever is left of them in the country. This nation will no doubt prevail strongly over brainwashed mobs creating frenzy, chaos and anarchy across Pakistan.
The opposition failed miserably during its four years in power. It will do well to remember that. At least the masses may do themselves this favour. It is high time the nation realised the significance of being politically mature.
