Democracy propels prosperity

When democracy goes out by the window, demons enter through the door and become busy with their orgies. That is what is happening in our country. We have lost our identity, we have lost our voting rights and passing our days in abject fear because horrible incidents are happening almost every day.
The government is constantly saying that if the country prospers then there is no need for democracy, but we do not agree with it and is the country really prospering? To cover a diseased body with fine clothes is not prosperity, it is an eyewash.
So, democracy must be re-established and prosperity will follow in its wake.
