Give
praise where it is due

Present PPP-led
government has always acted according to public demand and opinion. Within
three years, this government has achieved milestones such as the NFC Award,
Swat Operation, Balochistan Package, 18th and 19th Amendments, etc. Instead of
always demanding more from our government, we should now realize that democracy
needs time to strengthen its roots and structure. Nothing can change within
days. However, lots of things have changed in the short span of three years
within our system.
The recent decision to decrease the size of the cabinet is
also a great achievement and a positive move forward for democratic growth and
evolution. Our free media and opposition actors should at least encourage this
achievement of the government. This reform will not only save national wealth
but will also help in the better functioning of the ministries. Instead of
propagating it as 'old wine in a new bottle, the media and opposition elements
should have said a few words of encouragement; this would have also shown their
sincerity towards the nation and love for democracy.
