Dirty Politics of Pakistan
Guest post by Ch. Umar
Pakistan’’s political system has been in the transitional state ever since its inception in August 1947. Pakistan has not been able to established a strong,stable and permanent political order based on moral and democratic values. From the very beginning Pakistan faced a constitutional deadlock which resulted in the destruction of political, social and economic order and due to this Pakistan was deprived of a respectable place in the comity of nations.
Though Pakistan possesses the political apparatus for the smooth running of a democratic system in a country but unfortunately those responsible for its smooth running do not have the will, patience, stamina and character to culminate it in a strong democratic set-up. Politics of Pakistan is restricted to a politics of vendetta, ignorance, intolerance, exploitation and totally unacceptable democratic order.Many reasons can be put forward for the wobbling political system of Pakistan but the most important and worth mentioning are that the political parties carry their work out in a disorganized manner, absence of democratic set-up within the part ranks, lack of political institutions and in the last but not the least the paucity of dedicated political leadership.
Unfortunately, whenever a brave, dedicated and trustworthy political figure risen on the horizon of political scene, the people of Pakistan due to lack of basic and proper education and political awareness refused to accommodate it within its social structure. The most recent example of this phenomena is the manner in which the people of Pakistan treated the internationally renowned political figure of Ms.Benazir Bhutto. Why such incident occurred? the answer is very simple, the people of this country were never allowed to develop their faculties of thoughts, expression, character etc. They neither were given nor were thought about their fundamental rights.Most of the leader feel pride in marring the constitution as most of their energies and potentials were utilized for erecting their own edifice of wealth which ended on a way with no end no goal.
