The real choice before Pakistan

The real choice before Pakistan

By Beena Sarwar

The PNA movement termed Bhutto a threat to democracy (just as Benazir Bhutto’s and Nawaz Sharif’s opponents did). But, ultimately, the greater threat was Army intervention. There is now a consensus that this was a historic mistake that is best not repeated. Those who criticise the Asif Zardari presidency as a threat to democracy might consider again what the real threat actually is. Many do now seem to realise that the real issue is not who the President is but the need to keep the Army out of the political arena.
