Historic opportunity

This refers to the editorial “Democratic breakthrough” (Feb. 23). The people of Pakistan have provided a historic opportunity to the nation’s leaders to erase the black era of military rule and rewrite the chapter on democracy. It is up to the leaders to demonstrate to the world that they will not allow the military to influence the civilian government. The PPP and the PML(N) should resist the pressure exerted by the Bush administration on Islamabad in the name of combating global terror.

Peaceful co-existence with close neighbours being a pre-requisite for the prosperity of a region, every Indian is genuinely interested in the well-being of Pakistan.
