Democracy ?

The term democracy comes from the Greek language and means " rule by the (simple) people."

Third President of the United States Thomas Jefferson said;

"A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one-percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine."

US President Abraham Lincoln defined democracy as:
"Government of the people, by the people, for the people"

In Pakistan democracy can be defined as;

"Government of the rich, by the rich, for the rich" 

and people of Pakistan, who cares?
