Real Democracy
Since my childhood, I have always hoped for one leader or another, that they will take our country to great progress, but alas, no such leader ever came. Hoping for progress has been too much, we haven’t even stayed on same level but kept going downwards, but I still haven’t lost any hope. I can’t say anything about our leaders, but I trust our nation and God. I would like to mention that great leaders in the world do something wrong by mistake, but our leaders do something good by mistake. Musharaf gave freedom to media and took great credit for it, though he hoped that this media will keep singing his praises, but this unconscious good deed became the cause for his downfall, as he never consciously did anything good for this country or it’s people. People are now very aware of the country’s situation, thanks to the media. Previously, those people who took part in elections used to choose lesser of all evils. Once I asked someone who is he voting for, he told me, I asked, “why this candidate?”, he said, “why the other candidate?” It made me wonder that he was right, why the other candidate? People see one candidate’s unconsciously done good deed and for that vote for them. But now, in next elections this won’t happen, people won’t choose lesser of all evils, but the best in all goods. We have seen the dark times of dictatorship and now democracy in uniform. Now many things are clear, it’s not difficult to differentiate between good and evil.
I will again like to repeat that some people dismiss other’s good work just by saying that he only did that to get people’s vote, or he did that just because of public’s pressure, or he did that for that greed, or he did it with that fear. Here I would just like to say that in Quran, Allah has often frightened people of hell, and in other places have mentioned the heaven, now if someone stop doing bad deeds from the fear of hell or he does in hope to get in heaven in result, so, whatever option he chooses it doesn’t matter, the main point is to not to bad deeds.
We shouldn’t criticize someone’s good work, but learn from it. If one political party is doing good while sitting in province and other isn’t even from federal, instead of getting jealous of provincial government and criticizing it they should learn from it, cause these are the things that will get that party into federal government and get this party out.
Well, in the end, all I have to say is that I am seeing a great change in near future. A great positive change will take this country towards great progress. Now we have chosen a religious party, and a liberal party and a party that will work as a bridge between both these parties. I think future’s government would be public democracy in real sense where President will keep his word and those breaking the constitution will be in prison instead of Supreme Court.

It is a public democracy and as a Pakistani you have to live with this system because the influence factor in out country is almost corrupt. Each time you insist for a democracy without reckoning that to have public democracy is not the only factor that put out country on track.
I guess you ignored the grass root level, how people are thinking what they exactly want, which they have never expressed with whole honestly. But their practical doing in our society reflects what they want. To speak out in public the good one and asking for good system is not the point which shows the true face of the nation.
My dear, you are hoping for an impossible cause, people in Pakistan have no idea how to live a discipline life. I have no idea what is he exactly is the ration of educated people in Pakistan but considering my mess in real life of Pakistan I deem 95 per cent people are uneducated and atleast 90 per cent are without ethics.
In Pakistan whenever you saw a real democracy. DID YOU? No body know what is it, how it looks like, what is its shape….just learnt but never experienced. YEAH YEAH it’s a good thing and impressive one…
We were never taught to live in a real democracy then how you are expecting to have a real democracy…you know what? we will die if a real democracy will imposed on us. 99 per cent of Pakistan nation lost the patience they never want to stand in a disciplined like row…
