President Musharraf's emphasis on unity, national reconciliation and harmony in all fairness is the best possible prescription for overcoming the challenges posed to the nation and the country particularly after the tragic demise of PPP Chairperson Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto in a suicide bomb attack.
It was in furtherance of the spirit of national reconciliation, unity and harmony that the country's exiled political leadership PPP Chairperson Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto and PML(N) leader Mian Nawaz Sharif were able to return home one after the other during the last quarter of 2007.
Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto is no more in our midst. But PML (N) leader Nawaz Sharif has also talked about national reconciliation linking it with certain conditions.
While Nawaz Sharif's positive approach towards national reconciliation is welcome and quite appreciable, his conditions that President Pervez Musharraf should step down and never to contest any public office again nullify all his otherwise good intentions.
When President/Army Chief General Pervez Musharraf had promulgated the National Reconciliation Ordinance no strings were attached with it. After the tragic departure of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto from the national scene, Nawaz Sharif is the other national leader whose name is quite familiar in all parts of the country though he is not as much internationally recognised and acknowledged as was the late Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto.
As such, Nawaz Sharif should talk as a national leader with open mind and open heart without attaching any conditions. This is what the nation and the country need at this critical juncture: unity, national reconciliation and harmony.
