From the very first day, PPP enters in the corridors of powers; its co-chairman announced that PPP will pursue the policy of reconciliation. This was not a mere lip service, PPP proved at every step by taking along the worst foes of past together including ANP, MQM , ANP and PML-N. PPP buried all the old feuds despite smear campaigns against its leadership in the past. It was first time in the history of Pakistan that there was no political victim in the country. Every thing was well for the first two years of the coalition however PML-N reeled on the old bad ways and once against started the political bickering by threatening to part ways with coalition and finally it parted ways for the personal vested interests. The same old bad politics of accusations, blame game and mudslinging once again geared up against the PPP leadership. Despite all the wrong doings of PML-N, PPP leadership waged entire efforts to PML-N along. However PML-N had nothing to do with the problems of masses and was engaged to regain its falling image. Now if PPP has extended its support to PML-Q why there is big fuss, even in the past PML-N leadership was active in back channel diplomacy while conducting tacit meetings with PML-Q leadership. I suggest PML-N not to derail the democracy and stop maligning the image of PPP.
