PPP's ministers on TV Talk Shows The President of Pakistan, who is also the Co-Chairman of PPP, should stop sending a few ministers (and there are a large number of them) to the popular talk shows on the television channels. They create such a pitiable reflection of his party because of their poor performances. The other day, while facing penetrating questions of Kashif Abbasi in the presence of two competent stalwarts of "˜N' and "˜Q' Leagues, a lady federal minister from Punjab had a nosedive on the issue of principles in democracy. Each argument she gave not only shattered the image of PPP, but it exposed her incompetence which made the other two guests frequently burst into sarcastic laughter. To make the situation worse, she kept interfering unnecessarily while the other members were putting their viewpoints with strong logic. Is it because the leadership has put them in awkward situation or they really do not know how to answer genuine questions? And why did it remind me of the last days of Musharaf's regime when his ministers fell flat on their faces during similar discussions.
