History repeats itself

It’s quite natural that historyrepeats itself. Few years ago when the then President Pervaiz Musharraf was in
power, he did his best to oust all the senior politicians. Musharraf went to
such extent that he expelled Nawaz shareef and Benazir Bhutto with immediate
effect. Prior to banishing Nawaz shareef, he was made a prison under the charge
of hatching conspiracy against the Chief of Army staff and kept him in
captivity for few months in Adiala Jail. Today, the same person who was
violently and restlessly exercising his power , has been made a prison. His
lack of political far-sightedness has
largely affected his political highness and devalued him in the political
arena. He must be thinking that it was
his grave mistake to act peculiarly against powerful elites of that time.
History is full with examples that whosoever turned out to be part of power
corridor , behaved abruptly and unconsciously. But, the victory speech of Prime
Minister Nawaz Shareef implies that he has learned from the history and trying
his best to improve his political behavior. His words of forgiving all the
wrong-doers did not only promote his visionary approach but also showed his
mature and grown democratic mindset. This is what our democrats need to adopt.
Playing dirty politics based on character assassination will not bring any
productive result. It is the maturity that is required for wealthy democratic
system. Hence, attacking one and other is useless because history repeats
itself.
