A Farewell to Politics of Religion
By: Asif Mahmood
If the title suggests a propinquity to Ernest Hemingway’s epic “A farewell to Arms”, it is not unintended. If Ernest’s was a tale of tragedy and loss, this one is an account of both combined. How else one may comment on the outcome of recently held by-polls? People have once again proved that when it comes to political maturity they are light years ahead of our political parties, especially the religio-political entities. Voters appear to have had enough of amateurism and gave thumbs down to the politics of exploitation and non issues. At least for now it seems that the age of jingoism has been consigned to a long awaited and well deserved rest (in peace).
