THE behaviour and conduct of those at the helms of affairs in various power centres remain as it were decades ago. They continue taking the people for a ride, which is increasingly becoming difficult to tolerate.
Neither political nor military governments have been honest to our people for they have failed to give a semblance of prosperity for the people. Even if our dictators were pure and honest, we could still have earned an honourable name in the comity of nations.
To my mind, as Pervez Musharraf himself has admitted, the NRO was the worst thing to have happened. We badly need something like a Truth and Reconciliation Commission to give one last chance to the powerful now and those in the past to come clean and help the disgruntled and frustrated youths to create a truly new Pakistan.
