Notwithstanding what the PTI is or is not saying, the levels of polarization in the country are at unprecedented levels. The curbs on social media and other measures to suppress the people’s voice will not do much. The country needs consolidation, a grand dialogue as recently suggested by Senator Raza Rabbani. Sadly, no one, including the powerful elements, is interested in reading between the lines. The elephant in the room should be noticed and paid attention to as soon as possible and corrective measures should be taken quickly. The gloomy picture of the overall political landscape is worrisome and could spill over and damage the unity of the country and push the people further towards anarchy. The people in power should sit and solve this problem for the sake of the country.
