How can the PPP-led government claim to be the sole representative of the entire Pakistani population of 180 million?
ISLAMABAD: We have witnessed many a times that political leaders the including prime minister and president say that they represent all of Pakistan’s population of 180 million.
Surely, they, and others who make such claims, ignore the fact that many people didn’t vote at all in the last election, and that many who did, did not vote for the PPP. So how can the PPP-led government claim to be the sole representative of the entire Pakistani population of 180 million?
Yes, the masses can and will support them — but only if they don’t plunder our national resources and obey the law.
