Democracy taking roots in Pakistan:
Deputy Chairman Senate, Jan Mohammad Jamali Wednesday said, democracy is taking strong roots in Pakistan and the new government is struggling to the optimum to dispense with its duties.
Veteran politician and a former president of left-wing National Students Federation Mairaj Mohammad Khan says democracy derailed in Pakistan when its leaders opted to join imperialist security pacts such as SEATO and CENTO in the 1950s, paving way for a subservient economy and ultimately transforming Pakistan into a frontline state.
