Over 70 per cent hate status quo!

The country is fast going downhill. I cannot believe how with a three fourths majority the four party alliance could not stop corruption and terrorism. Because of this, the businesses are closing down one by one and the stock market is at its lowest. The future of this country looks bleak. Jamaat-e-Islami also has to take the blame for this condition. They should resign from the government. They are keeping quiet as they want to cling onto power.

We need a strong government with good, honest and devoted people in leadership positions at every level. They should be mandated to run the country for at least five to ten years as democracy has failed miserably. I am sure if there is a referendum today, over 70 per cent will back the above idea, including the donors.
