Sever head of ‘sedition’

THE situation has become unbearable. We can no longer tolerate the ‘blame game’ played by some. What we witness on the political front is not the aftereffect of elections but an act which has brought the entire country to a crippling halt.
The nation is in disarray. The National Assembly does not function. The government cannot take its oath and as a result has lost complete authority in absence of the legislative authority.
The political conflicts and sedition has spread like cancer. Rumors and the social networking websites have fuelled tribal wars, sectarianism and regional conflicts.
There is a feeling that the state domains have contracted chronic diseases with no hope of recovery. Can citizens feel secure in such circumstances? Can they look for a bright future?
What is happening is not a reaction to some incident. There are some people out there who have mastered the art of promoting chaos in society and holding to ransom the free will of some citizens while others are blinded by fancy illusions. The hands of these people must be chopped off before they burn the country.

Today we are commemorating the ill-fated invasion of Kuwait by Saddam Hussein 22 years ago. Kuwait was not better off politically then as compared to the current political situation in the country. So why don’t we learn from the hard lessons and tough experiences our country has lived through? After all, does every one of us have to fight for parliamentary seats and positions?
Nowadays people take their conflicts and disputes to the higher authorities. This is done to rectify mistakes and restore the reverence of the nation not only by implementing the law but cutting of the sources of tribal and sectarian conflicts that have seeped into the country — the conflicts which have destroyed the communities.
The constitutional reforms too are important because it is one of the main reasons the country is crippled and because of which the nation lost tons of money — the money which could have been used towards development.

It is imperative to be convinced that our constitutional institutions must work according to correct principles which cannot be flawed, because, the country depends on those institutions for the proper day to day running of its affairs.
If the current state of affairs continues, everyone will suffer. If the authority does not play its role to keep in order its state of affairs disorder will thrive and negligence will spread its tentacles.
The citizens are saying enough is enough. We need to relax.
