The Language of Politics, the Voice of Institutions, and the Tremor of a Press Conference By Raja Zahid Akhtar Khanzada There was a time when politics in Pakistan carried its own etiquette. A certain civility shaped the vocabulary of public life. In gatherings of the elders, words were weighed before they were spoken. Somewhere along the road, that tradition fractured.
