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.
