Democracy provides the citizens a platform where they can voice their sentiments in a civilized and non-violent manner. The democratic regimes are often targeted for the un-kind reason that they show more restraint to criticism which is appreciated until it becomes a direct attack on state functions. We need to give the elected representatives the space and chance to prove them because Democracy is not only essential as the mode of governance for Pakistan but it’s more important to enable the right to choose for Pakistani people. As education and literacy rates go up, people would like to choose for themselves and democracy can ensure that.

For God’s sake, keep them away from politics. They chant slogans against the US on the one hand and on the other their own sons and daughters study in its universities. Who are they fooling? Their game is over now. Everyone is well aware of their intentions. We don’t need their version of jihad. The Pakistani nation needs peace, prosperity and better health and education facilities. We need strong democracy to deal with this menace. Without any doubt democracy is a formidable source to fight extremism and this can be seen in the case of Pakistan as after restoration of democracy the war against terror was well-planned and the representatives of public were taken into confidence. Also it the war lacked the legitimacy of public support which is vital for keep the moral of soldiers high. Extremism cannot foster in democracy as democracy provides the every stakeholder the opportunity to present their view in front of public without resorting to violence.
