Stop the blame game

Stop the blame game

Matters can never be resolved rather become more complex if people start blaming one another particularly those who are at the helm of affairs. Same is the case here in Pakistan where so-called leaders are indulged in looting the country and defending themselves by blaming one another.

The worrying situation is that the political parties are giving agendas but not for the betterment of the country rather for defending their positions. Everybody is passing the ball to the next one which can never be termed as a positive and responsible attitude.

Punjab blackmails the federal government for the implementation of its 10-point agenda while the federal government hushes it up by giving a 19-point agenda. The PML(Q), in a bid to prove itself the real opposition, pushes a 5-point agenda towards the Punjab government whereas the MQM, having the sense of insecurity, gives a 9-point agenda for the implementation of its demands. All these agendas are for nothing but to keep one anothers mouths shut.

But in this foolish blame game, who is suffering the most? Whose life span is getting narrowed day by day? Who is unable to make both ends meet? Its the public.

How would they know that who is sincere to the country when every party is giving a different opinion? Realising the situation, already confused people do not want to get more confused as the terrorist attacks, future insecurity and extreme price hikes have numbed their nerves to the extent that these political issues are of no importance to them. But a storm always comes after a complete silence.

The silence of public over the present political situation can be an indicator for the political up set ahead. There must be a one-point agenda from the people: Stop this non-sense. But it is possible only if they are given a direction or lead in a proper direction.

In the present democratic system, every political party can contribute to the relief of the people. Instead of giving only agendas, they should help one another in making us stronger.
