Elections 2008
Posted by hatim
It was elections day in Abbottabad on 18th Feb 2008 and I had the chance to vote for first time in my life. Elections always have negativity surrounded around them, people think that it has already been decided that who shall win and who will loose. Most people believe that it's no use to go out and vote as even if thier opnions were taken into account, they would no doubt choose some one who eventually turns up to be a corrupt person and does nothing for the nation, A few days back I was having a discussion amongst my colleuges that we are not a nation and we still need nation building. Even though there was a 40% turnout in the present polls I still believe that we are not a nation, yet. With democretic forces hopefully coming into power in Islamabad, there is a chance that there will be some nation building. As for me I am happy that I exercised my opnion, but I am skeptical as to how the new government will handle the current situation of Pakistan.
