Political fervor in Pakistan is on the rise. Elections 2018 are around corner and country is abuzz with political sloganeering, promises, hopes, blame-games and public gatherings. Each political party is busy presenting its manifesto which is a major shift from the sensationalist politics of the past where character and personal life of politicians were more important than issues plaguing the country. Pinning hopes in the upcoming general elections is not unscrupulous. However, a neutral analysis of Pakistan’s political system makes one wonder that how it can solve public problems when the sole aim of politicians is personal uplift.
