Well what else he can say now?
As I said, the protests are OVER! We will see by January 2016.
Correct.
But I this even you seem to have a lower opinion of the resilience of the Pakistani political system--looking at one of your posts above. I think had there not be Parliament there would be more anarchy and lack of unity than now. To you only a tragedy like this seems to 'indict' the system; to me the tragedy shows the strength of the system.
Totally agree. I do have a low opinion of our institutions because they do not perform per their intended role. NS himself is to blame - he simply does not attend parliamentary sessions. He does not appoint people on key positions. He is running this country via 5 people of kitchen cabinet. If the beneficiaries of a system do not act to strengthen it, then I can take all the principled positions that there are, but I can not defend this system - not with any modicum of adequacy.
Yes we have a parliament - thanks be to Allah. But it is an underperforming institution because important stake-holders do not uphold its sanctity.
We do not have total anarchy, but you will have to admit that we do have partial anarchy and that is because this partially functioning system (whatever the causes) does not address our most urgent and emergent problems.
Our institutions are a work in progress.... There is a long way to go. There have to be at least three more timely elections before we progress far enough to secure and half-trust this system. The fear of Khaki shadow will take time to subside.
