Social Issues and Pakistan

(akram saqib, sahiwal)

Man is social animal. He cannot live alone. It is natural to him to live in a community. The collective life demands certain facilities which are categorized as the basic human needs. A man can thrive and survive only in such societies which provide these basic facilities. Man needs shelter in the form of house. He needs education. He needs basic health facilities and food. He needs security of life and property. In a welfare state all these basic human needs are responsibility of the state. It creates harmony and peace among the masses.

The situation in our country is quite opposite. People are facing a lot of problems. One of them is It is such an obnoxious issue as is gnawing at the very roots of society. People are feeling ill at ease. They are facing the problem day and night. Their lives have become nightmares. They feel insecure and threatened all the time. They are always on the horns of dilemma. They are becoming psychological patients. It is changing the whole society into a mental hospital. Nobody is safe from the evil impacts of this monstrous problem.

There are many overt and covert causes of people’s bereavement. A few time servers are at the back of this problem. They are greasing the palm of the authorities and playing havoc with the society. The profit mongers have brought the whole society on the verge of the volcano.

As food is essential for the body, the peace and harmony are essential to society. Everything department homes and offices work smoothly if there are feelings of justice and security. But unfortunately we the Pakistanis are devoid of this facility. There is constant dearth of this commodity in our country. Common man is to bear the brunt of the circumstances. He is unable to get enough food, essential education and safe haven for his family. He is constantly in danger due to this anathema. The solution has become an enigma. The men in the helm of affairs are always evading the situation. Media raises a hue and cry but its voice reaches only the common man. The politicians and bureaucracy are playing musical chairs. The people are waiting for miracle to happen.
Societies stand on justice. Justice means everything right at its proper place. But there is injustice all around us. Social fabric has torn into pieces. Satan is dancing over the corpses. Everybody is at the end of their tether. If the situation remains the same for some more time, we are going to face anarchy. So it is the need of the hour to rescue the nation from the heinous clutches of this anathema and put the nation on the path of progress and prosperity.
