A great opportunity
The caretaker government started off their proceedings by entering into the political arena quite ambitiously but consequently failed to live up to their expectations. The more they dug, the more dirt spilled out of the heart of this country. All kinds of obnoxious and filthy corruption was viciously interrelated and no doubt they were unable to curb it. And now the courts are rocking with innumerable bails that have been granted to the people convicted of outlandish crimes. After all these incidents, a question arises in the mind of a common citizen like me, that if our politicians are so innocent and if our leaders are so perfect, then why have we been branded as the most corrupt country in the world probably two or three consecutive times? We human beings are mortal and not intricate robots and therefore mistakes and misapprehensions are bound to occur in our actions, thoughts and decisions. And it is our obligation to realize our mistakes and rectify ourselves accordingly. Certainly, we cannot complain about lack of virtuous and graceful personalities in our country. But they are dispersed throughout the corners of this vast and endless sea of murky water and it has become so difficult to track them down. This upcoming election will be providing our politicians with a unique and distinctive opportunity to learn from the misdeeds that they have been held guilty of. It will also test their grace, smartness, capability and whether they are honest enough to correct themselves.
