Modern Politics in Pakistan

(Tasawar Munir Safi, Lahore)

Like other third world countries the people of Pakistan is also facing lots of corruption. This corruption is not only the corruption of wealth but ethics also. Trade and business, teaching and studying, jobs and professions everywhere corruption has eradicated the roots of the tree of prosperity and development.

In Pakistan tragedy is that a cobbler who mends and produces shoes he cannot buy even a washroom shoes, a farmer who sows and harvests the high quality of grains he has to face the hunger, a mason and laborer who provides shelter to others he cannot provide a safe house to his family. The poor and miserable middle class of society is speedily coming down and touching to poverty. He is in tension of starvation and hunger there for many of dacoits and street criminals are belong to very respectful and noble families who do crimes to fulfill their basic needs and necessities.

When nations touch the depth of decline and merciless situations often they loses their ethics and social values, they quarrel for food and drink, they kills and die for the fulfillment of their needs and desires. At that time man loses his man kindness and makes his identity with money and wealth not with civilized and ethical behavior.

In this huge corruption it is a hopeful and joyful thing is that Pakistan of the doorstep of a great and positive change especially in politics and thoughts. A productive and an educational politics, an accountable and a politics which is demanding the rights of the poor and the weak are circling among the people, among the youth and seniors.

A man in street knows the mazy of politics. Situations and circumstances are noising NO corruption, NO fraud, NO illiterate ruler, and NO exploitation. Awareness among common people is showing interest in politics.

The role of government institution and media is plying a special part in this respect. Especially military eldership and bureaucracy are looking much serious to support and stabilize the democracy and to encourage the democratic efforts. Media is empowering the truth and disclosing the yellow journalists. Top class media groups war of earn rating and popularity compel them to make the main story to the issues of poor and common interest.

Democratic leaders especially PTI, PAT and MQM are preaching and educating their supporters and voters about true responsibilities of politics and politicians. However, all the problems and hardships of nation right but on other hand these hardships and political in stability is promoting and supporting a new and positive trend of politics which will be copied in next generation of politics in Pakistan.
