Unfortunately the people are being subjected to too much of corruption and bad governance these days and ironically all in the name of democracy. They are not only getting dismayed and disillusioned with the politicians but have also started doubting the suitability of democracy for the people of Pakistan. Therefore, an idea comes to the mind and quite a plausible also, that we all in our respective constituencies surround (ghairao) the houses of our respective MNAs and MPAs for their not doing enough for us, such as, getting us uninterrupted electric power supply round the clock. In the same ghairao we extract a promise from them that they shall not contest the election again as they have failed us in delivering what was expected of them. This way where we will get rid of the old corrupt and incompetent politicians, it is quite likely that we may find fresh political aspirants who could be honest, dedicated and more competent.
