A citizen’s appeal

In a deeply divisive and polarized political environment, charged with hatred and hostility, I along with many other citizens of Pakistan, feel deeply appalled at the degradation of our political atmosphere.

I appeal to all parties and individuals of every political persuasion to pause for a moment and to take a step back. With anger, allegations and animosity, we can neither reach a desirable destination nor build a great nation. In fact we can end up destroying the only home that we have.

I am convinced that we can come together in numerous ways with peace and goodwill for each other. I am convinced of the numerous ways we can rapidly reform this country and the numerous ways we can collectively endeavour for its peace and progress.

Incessant disagreements and pulling apart can only lead to irreparable fragmentation. This is thus an appeal for peace, sanity and dialogue – the only path that can heal and lead Pakistan towards progress and prosperity.
