Moral Bankruptcy
Andleeb Abbas
Sunday, January 3, 2010
The common trait which brings PML-N and PML-Q together is their tainted and corrupt past. A few days ago, these two parties were sworn enemies. However, despite their inherent dislike for each other, they somehow always ended up ‘compromising’ with each other

While i do agree with your article i detect a hint of bias with regard to your openly using the names of PML-N and PML-Q and yet omitting the Term PPP. you have named the President and Prime Minister but not the party. I believe there are significant examples other than those two individuals that could very well be named here and yes the PPP too is as corrupt as the other two parties if not more. if parties are too be named than the rule should apply across the board.
Let me take your last two lines. What is happening to our country and people is what was unseen and now we have seen it. Lets face the reality that we do not have 21st century leaders and followers mindset and neither we are developing it. Atleast this is not going to happen in our life time and what we will leave is more devastated country, lost nation and more than 50% unproductive populace if we do not start build institutions and places where people can be provided with true education and positive content.
Agreed with the observations, we have to go with democracy and being member of this society its our duty to support those who really want to work for Pakistan only. Such leadership in current scenario is not visible but as per my humble opinion, we, the people shoudl work to strengthen the image of Mr. Imran Khan, who is the only person whome we can trust. i am still not a member of his political party but in my views he has good track and he can be trusted as an honest leader
Could nt agree more.Keep it up.
It is. great to see your brave article with the facts, which discover our leadership intent to serve Pakistan. Please keep writing and share your views.
To save our homeland we should do something and by literate others we can change.
Thanks for sharing your latest article.
To me EDUCATION is the solution for the present problematic situation. One who knows must teach the one unaware.
Despite that judiciary is "free", why is it so that army is still unaccountable even when the ex-service men admitted that they played politics with the politicians?
Dear Madam,
The realities of corruption of these parties (all of them) are very old and no one was bold enough to say anything about them when it really mattered. Millions of Pakistani people turned up to receive these corrupt politicians at the airports when they were returning to this country with all these corruption cases against them. Millions of Pakistani’s voted for these politicians with all these cases with them two years back and no body was there to take a step forward and fight for this country. Even people like Imran Khan with whom personally I have very high hopes stepped out of the elections. Now, Supreme Court has given a decision against these corrupt politicians for their old cases so now we are all realizing that these people were corrupt. It is very depressing to see the state our country is in right now and so many competent people are there even then no body is willing to stand up and change the fortunes of this country with such a ‘Huge Potential’
Best regards,
Omar Javed
