The political landscape of the country presents a depressing picture because some political leaders have a false impression that they can create new tendencies in politics because of the substantial general public backing.
Such politicians set bad examples and damage the party’s reputation. When any party regains power, they vow to take revenge on the opposition. They threaten them with the worst consequences if they act against them.
The question here arises; whether such leaders should be allowed to attack each other in the name of protests and political activity.
The closed-minded attitude of the leadership always proves fruitless, damages the party’s politics, and pollutes the political environment in the country.

When people take note of the allegations that tarnish the reputation of political parties and their opponents and the minute they accuse each other of being conspirators, turncoats, and defectors, citizens are left with the impression that a whole lot of political leaders are self-centered and lack integrity.
These days, the political divide has reached the highest level with the government and opposition engaged in incessant conflict. This has an emotional impact on the people’s view of leaders, particularly when their emphasis and main concern should be on persistent economic challenges and lessening the suffering people are going through.
