For quite a time, PPP has been considered as only democratic party. People believed PPP can find loop holes (coalition etc,) in structure of Democracy to achieve their objective but they won’t destroy the democratic fabric. But now PPP has fallen to ever low in the Mayor polls for Karachi. Maybe still up than PTI or PMLN but too low for the own ideology of Pakistan Peoples Party. A party which always vowed for civil supremacy and social justice. Allegedly many chairmans of PTI and JI were forcibly abducted before polls to reduce the opposition in numbers for PPP’s candidate Barrister Murtaza Wahab Siddique. This was new low for PPP being advocate of democracy. No doubt Mr. Murtaza Wahab Siddique was most compatible candidate for this post but the way he took the charge is objectionable! PPP has largely remained firm on the narrative of “Democracy is the best revenge” said by Bibi sahiba herself. We hope Barrister Murtaza Wahab Siddique as responsible statesman would step down exposing himself to free and fair polls. Also Mr. PM in waiting Bilawal Bhutto Zardari will reconsider the non democratic behaviour of his organisation and take actions accordingly. Mr. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari willing to take over the PMship this way will bring nothing but just intrinsic as well as extrinsic humiliation to himself, Bibi Sahiba and ZA bhutto himself!
In Pakistan’s political arena, along with general voters there are some non-democratic factors, which play key role in elections. All these non-democratic factors are often more influential than general voters. At present, these non-democratic factors seem lenient towards Mr Bilawal Bhutto Zardari. Although with the help of non-democratic factors Mr Bilawal will come into rule but he would be in dire need of public confidence to rule over them. He would himself has to earn this trust by setting the democratic precedent and uplifting public morale. Such non-democratic tactics, as practised in Karachi Mayor polls, will damage the PPP’s public image severely which they can’t afford at present.
