Democracy and revenge

Letter June 30, 2012
Alas, the election of Raja Pervaiz Ashraf as prime minister will carry on that ‘revenge’.

ISLAMABAD: Benazir Bhutto once said “democracy is the best revenge”. For the last four and a half years the masses were living under the illusion that the ‘revenge’ has been taken by the PPP government quite successfully. Alas, the election of Raja Pervaiz Ashraf as prime minister will carry on that ‘revenge’ — on the masses of course — for some time more.
