Of Politics and People

"IN the game of politics, it’s usually the public that loses and politicians do nothing but play politics with the people”.
These words of one of my professors of International Law and Contemporary politics are still on my mind. These words depict a clear picture of the present political scenario in the country where the Co-Chairman of Pakistan Peoples Party Mr Asif Ali Zardari is struggling for this sole defined purpose that the public may not become the loser thi#s time too, as in the past, hence he is cobbling up all together but reported rather disinformation launched by the anti-PPP and anti-people lobbies in the media regarding the growing factionalism over the nomination of premiership in the party has demoralized the staunch workers of the party.
The PPP loyalists and disciples expect from the Makhddoom of Hala and others to re-write new history of loyalty and attachment. Positions are not important it is the attachment and loyalty which becomes quotable in the annals of history.
Of course, as the political parties grow old they become unable to take care of the interest of all their party members. Those in the inner circle form cliques and usurp all the privileges, while those at the periphery are pushed into weaker positions.
