Elections delayed.

Well the news is out.Election comission of Pakistan has delayed the elections to Feburary 18th.This was despite the two main politcial parties PPP and PML-N ,in addition to a small no of other parties, which vehemently opposed any extension in the election date.I again remind the readers that the PPP, which was the victim party,didnot want elections to be postponed.Their decision to go ahead with the elctions at the original date was commendable.The PPP-Q(called the killer league by Asif zardari,and rightly so)and mqm ,on the otherhand wanted a delay in polls which they would rig ofcourse.I just dont understand how can the election be postponed esp. when the election commission said they would consult all political parties.All parties except two were against delay in polls.This itself is sufficient to suggest that election commission is not independent.The reason which might be given is that the the law and order situation order in sindh is not satisfactory.duhh ...call in the army .army can be deployed to swat areas so quickly...why cant it be used in maintaing law and order in polls.
