The National Reconciliation Ordinance (N.R.O) is intended give more power to President Zaradari. He will use his executive powers at whim, and will not need the approval of the parliament for any decision be it right or wrong. There would be no debate in the parliament, the president's decision would be final. In short he wants to become a dictator.
The elections which were conducted were sham. No one elected anyone, the results were announced, no one knows if they were genuine or not. Zardari made himself president and Gilani is prime minister because Zardari wanted him to be. Much of the parliament is filled with religious clerics (Mullahs) who have no concept of democracy. They can only preach not make a sensible speech. Had there been honest elections, the Mullahs would not be seen in the parliament. No one cares about religion. People want jobs, they want incomes which can match the ever increasing prices of virtually everything.
The country is run by charlatans, completely corrupt people, frauds; wheelers and dealers. Everyone has a suitcase ready, in case the tide turns they can escape Pakistan. But Pakistan is no longer in no mood to forgive. These people will be hunted down wherever they are in the world, captured and put on trial, for all the horrible things they have done.
At point Pakistan may have felt powerless, but no more. These people will have to pay and pay they must. These moves by Zardari to become a dictator should be stopped and no one should ever be allowed to rule the country by decree.
Democracy should be everywhere. Every city, town and village. In every Division and sub-division and in every district and sub-district. Civil servants and the military will have to withdraw from everything.
One wonders why is it that those who grab power would be able to survive in their position. Some have had horrible ends and many people who held key positions were also destroyed. It would be best the existing government resigns and should new elections. The elections should be honest. The original 1973 Constitution should be accepted without the amendments which were made later.
