Why should executive presidency be abolished. If not for executive Presidency SF could not have defeated terrorist. What is needed is not to abolish executive presidency. But to remove Executive Presidents immunity powers. If MR does not have immunity powers he would be the best leader for this country. Abolition of executive presidency is only a slogan

Number of comments for this post shows that people are not interested in SF political agendas. He should remain a war hero.
