Statement on the situation in Egypt




We are with the people of Egypt! However, I believe there has to be some political stability in the country. With our experience here in Pakistan, the previous government was the most corrupt, but they were the only one to complete their 5 years tenure in our history. No one was happy but there was one consensus by all the political parties and military that for the sake of democracy, we must give a full chance so that any party in rule do not complain again that we were not given the chance of completing full tenure and be politically victimized on that basis as it has happened before. While still there are so many issues here and good governance is a challenge in this part of the world, I am concern that what will happen if after one more year another elected government is ousted again in Egypt? And if people are inspired by it in countries like Pakistan then only military will take over and even so-called democracy will just be a dream and we will not move an iota on the path of true democracy
