It is a debatable decision to postpone the much awaited elections in Pakistan. Whether President Mush was right? Its time to analyse the circumstances leading to postponement. May be he thought that the time is not ripe for elections in view of the assassination of Benazir, since it will take time to heal the wounds. But then he has taken various scenarios into consideration including the confidence of the political leaders to hold rallies etc., since as Imran was telling that no one would dare to hold rallies for fear of attack. It is therefore very clear that postponement was taking all these factors into consideration. But then Government sincerity will be tested if the extremists were crushed with iron hands. If this is done the intention of the good will be appreciated or else people may tend to think that this was done to avoid clean sweep by PPP riding high on the sympathy of Benazir's death. President Mush is totally in command of the affairs of the country, it will not matter much who comes to power at the centre as executive powers were rested with the President. All talks of installing a puppet government is nothing but wishful thinking. It is therefore essential for all parties to take part in the elections and restore the rule of law and see that democracy is in full bloom. The problem of extremists is there but it cannot be solved with a magic wand, it has to be tackled tactfully. All right thinking people in Pak should join to crush extremism in its interest.
