Re: NA 89 - Ahmed Ludhianvi declared winner
I hope you know the problem, and why it seems like that?
What you mentioned, it normally happens in third world countries where creed, cast, sect, colour and religion matters a lot … and government of person who is not secular is seen as danger by many. Reason is that:
When a secular person gets into power (I mean, really secular, not one pretending to be secular), than it is expected that he would not interfere with personal life of citizen (be that citizen belonging to any creed, cast, sect, colour, or religion), hence people feel comfortable that they can live the life they want according to their beliefs and background … and would not get discriminated in country they believe is their own. Hence, most forces feel content.
On the other hand, if person who gets into power is not secular (at least officially claiming to be not secular, rather representing a creed, cast, sect, colour or religion), then people feel uncomfortable that he would interfere with their life, and that means they would not be able to live the life they want according to their beliefs or background … and would get discriminated in country they believe is their own. Hence, all forces join to oppose such transition of non-secular person in power.
