There is a famous saying that "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely". Going by this phrase Pakistan is gradually moving away from absolute power. consistency and continuity of democracy has beginning to pay the dividends and finally we have seen again the talks and the public pressure to put an end to financial corruption.
When a minister in arrested (even many perceive it to be cosmetic arrangement) in KPK that means democracy is taking roots.
A segment of media laments that only politicians are taken to task over corrupt practices. If that is so it is a great sign that our system is willing to raise clean politicians, unlike dictators backed and promoted by US and the West. We have seen politicians been brought to the justice in the past too and if there was any softness over corruption it was none but the military dictators.
