AMBIGUOUS ACTS

IT was not surprising to read that the
President won’t let parties slack off (“Prez won’t let slack parties sit
idle: Aide” January 2, Page 3). The President’s move to re-extend the dead-line
for consensus time and again can only go for so long. How long is he to continue
to act in such an ambiguous manner? Time is running out for him to emancipate
the nation from the political shackles of irresponsible and insincere major
political parties. They remained defiant to his calls for forging the consensus
for the fifth time and might continue to do so, considering that rift between them
appears to widening. How can the President be sure that parties will forge
consensus to form a national unity government within the latest extended
dead-line?
It seems that the more time is given to the
parties, the more the new proposals are put forwarded by the ruling parties,
creating more mistrust and resulting in a never-ending political standoff.
Instead, it would much better for the President to call for a round table
conference with all the political parties from the erstwhile CA to collectively
find a solution.
