In Pakistan unfortunately there is no limit of cynicism and hate mongering. Despite the author’s criticism of President Zardari’s speech in Sindh it is a statement from a boy scout if you compare it with the no holds barred street slugfest going on between PML-N and PTI..However, these are a part of democracy and free speech and as we say if you cannot bear the heat get out of the kitchen. It was the right thing on the part of president to iron out the difference among various factions in Sind or Pakistan. We cannot take more divisions of any kind any more. Of course Pakistan is a third world country and a nascent democracy with a media which still believes in Santa Claus, Tooth Ferry and cars fueled by water. Gen Mush, Gen Zia and Gen Ayub all were the army chief, president and head of their own King’s Party the former with the complete blessings of current PCO SC. Grabbing three posts was fine as long as they were in boots everybody was compliant and aided and abetted it. However, for an elected president it is the biggest crime which has no parallel in Pakistan.
.......and as the friendly opposition you Sir allowed them to loot and plunder the nation for five full years.
