In India all political parties have agreed to form a grand alliance against corruption. Here in Pakistan there also is talk about grand alliance, but against what - against the sitting government !.

 Let us believe (and with good reasons) that the present government is dirty corrupt and needs to be removed, but what after that - who will replace them.

Each and every party in the opposition alliance has been tried out and miserably failed. A grand alliance to overthrow the incumbent government and replace it with those in opposition is a classic case of 'more of the same' 

If Pakistani political parties cannot form an alliance against corruption which is the biggest threat to our existence, then we need a change of system. Rotation of faces does not mean continuation of democracy. A paradigm change is a must if Pakistan is to make any headway to the positive zone  -- Faridul Haq , Chitral 05 July 2011.
