Democratic practices


We attained independence 37 years ago for establishing a democratic and exploitation free society. Although we started our journey by introducing parliamentary type of democracy but the journey was halted time and again. After 1990 we got another chance which we failed to sustain. As an inevitable result, we faced 1/11. Now we have got yet another chance to establish a democratic society. But democracy cannot be imposed; it must come from society itself. The political parties must practise democracy within the parties and also adhere to the norms and practices of democracy. The institutions like the judiciary, ACC and PSC must be strengthened. Otherwise, the talk of democracy will mean nothing.
