Clouds of uncertainty

A decade or two ago in the case of a political crisis the military takeover was seen as an acceptable option. Now the situation has changed and the people instead of seeing it as option take it as a problem which is evident from the celebrations by the people at Musharraf's departure which is unprecedented in the history of the country. The people through their vote had again given the chance to the political parties, which in the past have not been given the due time and space to deliver.

Although many factors are responsible for this uncertain situation, the main issue is of governance. Due to this all other issues whether they relate to economy or political decision-making like the restoration of the judges, situation on the borders etc have not been handled properly.

After Musharraf's departure it seemed that the situation would improve and everybody heaved a sigh of relief in the hope that now the country would be on the right track. This was evident from the enhanced confidence of the stock market on the very first day. But the clouds of uncertainty again engulfed this short-lived celebration as the major political parties are once again at the loggerheads, especially on the issue of the restoration of judges.
