Islamabad : Political parties in Pakistan seem to be flaunting their knowledge of the English alphabet. While the manifestos of two parties are based on five Es and Ds, another party is to unveil a list of poll promises focussing on five Rs.
The Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid-e-Azam (PML-Q) announced its manifesto based on five Ds – Democracy, Development, Devolution, Diversity and Defence.
This followed the manifesto of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto’s Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) that focussed on five Es – Employment, Education, Energy, Environment and Equality.
Now, former prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s Pakistan Muslim League is turning to five Rs — Restoration of sacked judges, Removal of Musharraf, Revival of democracy, Revenue generation and restoring the country’s Reputation, a party leader told IANS. Pakistan goes to the polls Jan 8.
