A political leader should not be (only) judged or voted on the basis of his performance, one should also see that whether this leader can represent our emotions and our thoughts. People in Pakistan mostly say that we will vote for that person who has done something for us, who has made roads, fly overs, who has maintained the cleanliness in our city, who has started many big projects like five star hotels, big shopping malls, amusement parks, etc etc, now let me remind you about Mr. Gandhi and Mr. Jinnah, they both were big leaders, one represented the fight for Independence of Hindustan (indirectly Hindus) and the other one represented the fight for Independence of Muslims, they both were followed by a sea of people. On what basis? on performance? They never made roads – flyovers, they never worked on projects for shopping malls, five star hotels, they had no previous performance, but were still followed by many people, just because they were representing their people’s thoughts to others, they were sharing emotions with there followers.

Just like that we should vote for a party who represents us, our thoughts, our emotions, our decisions, our will, not for those who have done hard work to maintain cleanliness in city and to decorate the city, this sort of work is not the duty of an elected party or government, this is our duty, it’s the duty of people who live in Pakistan. On the basis of this I want to say that we should give another chance to PPPP, and give them full support.

Results of election 2008 shows that PPPP will make the government along with PML-N, the people who have voted them they will surely support them, but the people who didn’t vote for them should also support them, they should forget the past, they should stop thinking about what they have done before, let us give them another chance, they might prove themselves better then our last government (PML-Q), who has lost this time. We should now focus on the FUTURE of Pakistan and Insha Allah, they (new democratic govt.) will complete their time period.
