Changing politics

Letter November 30, 2010
What the writer has written is very relevant to an understanding of contemporary Pakistani politics.

KARACHI: This is with reference to Rasul Baksh Rais’s article of November 29 titled “Changing politics”. The writer is a worthy and well-known scholar and what he has written is very relevant to an understanding of contemporary Pakistani politics. As a society we all seem to behave as sheep and what we need is a leader. That is the job of politics, in that from the whole political process a person worthy of leading the whole nation should come up.

That, unfortunately, has not yet happened. This is partly because those in power do not think of the nation but usually of themselves or a narrow group of people allied to them.
