Scenes of chaos
WITH
reference to your editorial ‘Scenes of chaos’ (June 24), what happened on
Monday should not surprise anyone. By now, everyone knows that the PML-N
government always overreacts when faced with a crisis.
Whatever
happened could have been avoided by allowing the plane to land in Islamabad as
originally scheduled.
That said, I
wonder why the Canadian cleric, Dr Qadri, is bent upon creating mayhem in the
country of his birth. If he really believes that millions of Pakistanis love
him, why did his party boycott last year’s elections? Even now, all he has to
do is to contest any by-election whenever a seat falls vacant. That way, he
will know how popular he is.
But
apparently he already knows that he doesn’t stand a chance to attain power through
the democratic process, which is probably why he has chosen to destabilise the
government in this manner.
