PAKISTAN is passing through a state of political instability. Instead of being together in this situation to resolve the crisis, every politician is struggling to score points and to degrade other political parties.

The politicians are so busy in their personal clashes that they have forgotten that they are public representatives.

If the situation remains the same, the country might face a political disorder that may result in a situation which would be unaffordable for the nation.

Instead of degrading each other, the political parties must sit together to plan a strategy that leads the country towards prosperity and development. The politicians must not forget that they are accountable to the people.
