The electorates' verdict has placed Pakistan in the corridors of uncertainity .Despite the odds, it's a great opportunity for the strange bedfellows Zardari and Sharif to be the agents of positive changes in Pakistan .It's on them whether they make or mar the better possibilities roped in by the electorates , who have not provided any one poltical bigwig total control over the political scenario . However , the big obstacle in its attainment is that both of them are not very great visionaries and also not very capable of conceiving sound strategies to tackle the complex challenges . The crumbling economic structure and dominance of extremists have reduced Pakistan into bundle of negative developments .It's time for these two leaders to have a strong coalition by rising above their differences and prejudices .
