Our day starts with statements, slogans and criticism on important issues by print and electronic media. Sometimes there is a glimpse of a better future, shown by politicians, experts and analysts but the facts and ground realties are very different. Healthy criticism is always great, but we have criticism for only criticism. Our politicians should refrain from distorting facts and misinterpreting situations to suit themselves and reveal the truth. The reality is that the common man is suffering with no hope from relief. Now that we have an ongoing war in the tribal areas, there is a need for our politicians to come up with better plans so that the common man can hope for a better tomorrow. Pakistan cannot afford any political instability, and now there is a need for everyone to unite.
