Same faces

Published April 22, 2013

POLITICAL parties have presented their manifestos. Some say they will change education policies and bring uniformity, some say they will get rid of corruption in minimum time, some say the Islamic system should be established, etc.

Ironically, it is the same parties, same people, same promises and same public with a new printout of manifestos.

They are promising that they can solve problems in a very short time period, which seems to be a joke.

There are so many conflicts internally. There is also energy crisis, a weak economy, infrastructure, massive corruption, education, health etc.

It would be a miracle to overcome such problems in 90 or 100 days or in a limited time. We should prepare for the worst.
