The questions arise: If Pakistan has to go forward as a federation, can it be run without federal political parties especially the one which has given constitution 1973, leadership one after another?
The questions arises: If Pakistan has to go forward as a federation, can it be run without federal political parties especially the one which has given constitution 1973, leadership one after another, political workers, best parliamentarians, democratic spirit and culture, political know-how and so on? Could you bring another true celebrated leader in Pakistan after assassination of Zulifqar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto? Of course not. You need to give a rethink to your policy of promoting Ladlas (pampered politicians). You helped promote a party in retrospect; now you are averse to its leadership and policies since it could not deliver and give proper results. Wouldn’t history repeat itself in future with regard to your pampered party and its leadership? The political puppet show must come to an end. Let the people decide their true representatives, their leadership and party to decide their fate and fortune. This is the nitty-gritty of PPP: All power to the people.
