Gulalai’s outburst

Published February 18, 2018

having criticised the PTI, her own party, MNA Ayesha Gulalai is hurling abuses at Imran Khan. She has now turned her guns at her recent mentor, the PML-N, and its party head Nawaz Sharif and his daughter, Maryam Nawaz.

The former PTI well-wisher, after belated realisation, has even gone further and said: “Nawaz is more dangerous than Imran”. Can there be more cynical politics than this? Have not our politicians become a purchasable commodity?

Such an unprincipled democracy has become a joke. It is the reason that the public has come to hate democracy because politics has become a dirty game.
