Letter To The Editor: Nawaz the silver lining in clouds

Nawaz The Silver Lining in Clouds

Finally the historic transition period has come to end and all the elected members of National and Provincial Assemblies have been sworn in.
Though, in the last five years democracy did nothing for people, except oppression and devastation yet it has started smoothly sailing in our country. It would not be exaggeration to state that democrats have started realizing the core concept of deliverance.
They know that governance is the only option through which democracy can be strengthened. And recent election results of all units of the federation speak volume in this regard. Since, large share of population has turned out to be politically mature it would not be easy for newly elected government to throw dust in the eyes of the people. Honestly speaking, people are fed up from the existing status quo mindset and desperately demanding change in our political system.
Actually, our youth comprises one third of the whole population and almost sixty percent of youth is either unemployed or victim of slaughter of merit. Merit is the only way through which wounds of educated people can be healed and Nawaz Sharif has to realize that either he wants policy of consensus based upon distribution of resources or a policy of making Pakistan the fastest growing country in the region.
Technically speaking, Nawaz Sharif does not need support of any political party because his seats have already secured the required quota to name its prime minister yet he intends to carry all political parties in government boat. Yes, there is no harm to form coalition government but to fulfill the dreams Nawaz Sharif showed to youth can only be fulfilled by showing zero tolerance to corruption.
And presently, he is the only ray of hope for the entire nation. Being a youth, I wish him best of luck and conveying a message that “Dear Prime Minister” never compromise on merit and corruption after taking the oath of premiership because you are the “Sliver Lining Cloud”.
