It’s quite natural that history repeats itself. Few years ago when the then President Pervaiz Musharraf was in power, he did his best to oust all the senior politicians. Musharraf went to such extent that he expelled Nawaz shareef and Benazir Bhutto with immediate effect. Prior to banishing Nawaz shareef, he was made a prison under the charge of hatching conspiracy against the Chief of Army staff and kept him in captivity for few months in Adiala Jail. Today, the same person who was violently and restlessly exercising his power , has been made a prison. His lack of political far-sightedness has largely affected his political highness and devalued him in the political arena. He must be thinking that it was his grave mistake to act peculiarly against powerful elites of that time. History is full with examples that whosoever turned out to be part of power corridor , behaved abruptly and unconsciously. But, the victory speech of Prime Minister Nawaz Shareef implies that he has learned from the history and trying his best to improve his political status. His words of forgiving all the wrong-doers did not only promote his visionary approach but also showed his mature and grown democratic mindset. This is what our democrats need to adopt. Playing dirty politics based on character assassination will not bring any productive result. It is the maturity that is required for wealthy democratic system. Hence, attacking one and other is useless because history repeats itself.
