Re: Politics of power
Any indecency in political affairs has yet to be observed. It’s no secret that our democratic leaders are very well-behaved, well-educated, and courteous. They know how to peacefully express resentment and how to handle the difference in opinions. The use of ethnic hatred for political gains by democratic leaders is unheard of.
Absolutely nothing can tarnish the angelic image of our democratic leaders. Such heinous and shameful act of physically assaulting people for political disagreements is indeed done by “an invisible hand” to stain the image of our democratic leaders. It’s either establishment, India, or agencies. Let’s hope and pray that invisible hand stops here and does not go after our other respectable political leaders, such as Zardari and Sharif.
Cover absurdity with absurdity, nice try poster.
**I **am not sure who you are comparing these politicians with, if for instance I do agree with the strength of your argument and accept them as a very “non-behaving” herd of indecent vermins, the question still remains as to who you are comparing them with.
Difference in opinion is life line for the existence of healthy democratic culture, it is not a culture that exists only in Pakistan, look around, you will find much more vivid display of such behavior, however nowhere else it has been used as a pretext to destroy the system itself.
Our democratic leaders are human beings just like you and me, why you want to see an “angel” in the skin of a human, they have their own vested interests, have their own bias, but none the less they represent a system that has inherent capability to improve upon its flaws, that can learn from its mistakes and that has support of the masses.
When ever you question the integrity of political system, you indirectly question the collective wisdom of the masses, you question your own intellect, and your own ability to recognize good from the bad, let the system work, let them age out of temper tantrum, give the system a fair chance to stand up to its own feet.
We are all human, we react in different manner, we all celebrate victory in a different way, being sober is a culture of long education, a long tradition of fairness in approach. Those who reacted in a shameful way can be and will be recognized, and the existence of invisible hand will not be so invisible. Such unhealthy acts should not be used to stigmatize the system, it should not be used as pretext to overthrow the democracy.
Last but not the least, members of civil society has seen the ray of hope after a long battle with the establishment, they have been atrociously beaten up, jailed and abused, it is human nature to react in a way he was reacted with, what do you expect from an average human being?
Both zardari and Sharif are two faces that represent a system, they will not stay for long, give masses a chance to look under their skin, let masses give a chance to distinguish a rhetoric from a noble intention. Don’t make them a victim of establishment that will make them hero again. If democracy is overthrown in the name of indecent culture , and dictatorship is imposed for another decade, these people will still be hero because they never went through the litmus test of integrity. They would never lose the trust of masses without a fair chance.
If I covered absurdity with absurdity, your magnanimity would be in not saying it on my face, but again we are all human, and you are no exception, we react the way we think appropriate.
