Sir: Sadly, a cursory glance at the events reported in the media clearly indicates that the entire country is mired in bad governance, maladministration and lawlessness, while trying to remain afloat in a sea of political and economic turmoil. The ongoing situation in Pakistan is the antithesis of democracy and good governance. The leadership of marches and their peaceful followers are convinced that only comprehensive constitutional and structural reforms, coupled with accountability and transparency, can ensure a sustainable political process in the country. The time has come to reflect upon the demands of the marchers and take practical steps to save this country. Hashim AbroIslamabad
