Political
Bickering:
Taking us Nowhere

Accusing
the political opponent for anything bad has been a long
established culture among our politicians. In the first
couple of days after the deadly grenade attack on the
AL rally on August 21 many hoped to see an end to that
tradition when people cutting across all political camps,
beliefs and ideologies condemned the heinous crime in
unison. The almost unanimous reaction was that this attack
was not just against a group of individuals but an attack
on the sovereignty, democracy and secular values of the
country. They all demanded quick arrest of "the enemy
of the country". The government, apparently shocked,
vowed to hunt down the perpetrators of such a gruesome
crime. |
