Pakistan Post Elections

This discussion with Dr Tara Kartha, Dr Ayesha Siddiqa, Lt Gen Ata Hasnain(R) and Gautam Moorthy (R) was simply fantastic. We covered a lot of ground and many aspects of Pakistan which will define the country in the post election scenario. All pointers are that political instability will endure which will keep Pakistan internally occupied and economically weak. For the first time the Pakistan Army has a political egg on its face which it will have to wipe off. To do so will require some effort. Two important points did emerge. Firstly the people of Pakistan have conveyed a major message to its rulers. Secondly Pakistan lurches from crisis to crisis. Interesting days ahead.
