Repairing System Is Need Of The Hour

(Inshal Rao, )

48 years ago Pakistan parted into two which occurred due to Indian interference & conspiracy but the main reason was their depravity to which India took advantage & by anti state actors exploited the situation. If people of East Pakistan were honoured, facilitated with equal opportunities so Indian conspiracy could never be survive. We have another example of Indian interference in Balochistan& arrest of KulbhoshanJadhev is the proof who admitted that Indian spy agency R&AW supporting & funding to US designated banned organization BLA. But question arise why armed movements arise? Why anti-state emotions exist? Why common people join such organization? Simply the answer could be grievances which are not addressed by Authorities and resulting anti-state elements take advantage of this. Question arises again why grievances exist & could not be resolved? Answer is that there is double standard, dual nature law, status quo, corruption & illicit use of power by bureaucracy and influential persons resultantly sense of deprivity increases which provides opportunity to anti-state elements within & outside state. However, it is the need of the hour to "repair the system" particularly need to fix democratic deficit & governance failure. To meet systematic gap it must be Pakistan's policy & elected Government should rapid work on reforms & their implementation aimed at repairing the system which is not only vision of PM but also longstanding wish of nation and key to nation's prosperity. First of all Gov't must tackle lawlessness which is the mother of all crisis and restore the rule of law in true spirit instead rule of persons. For national integration & state sustainability reforms in public service is most important as we have learnt from 1971 when Bengali civil servants refused to unload ship at Chittagong port due to their affiliation with Awami League, Moreover it is common notice that person appointed political basis are loyal to their parties & not with their duties. Secondly our institutions & system derailed due to political appointments of incapable persons so Gov't must reform civil service act & modernize police act to ensure neutrality & professionalism of bureaucracy and depoliticization should be functionalize. It must also ensure merit system in recruitment at federal & provincial level specially in Sindh. Its certain need to end corruption and political influence in appointments & transfers to make the people service oriented. It is the prime responsibility of Gov't to make sure stoppage 'decrees of traitor' to civil society & must provide space to enable effective functioning of civil society which acts as watchdog in democratic, constitutional values & rights of people. During IK's whole campaign he emphasized decentralization & effective local gov't bodies for the betterment of system and now IK is in power so he must fulfill his promise but 18th amendment would be prove big hurdle in this. Due to 18th amendment each province has its own law and obstruction in implementation of gov't orders so this should be revisit because it is noticed that after passage of 18th amendment ethnicity rate increased massively.Directly & indirectly 18th amendment created states within the state so need of the hour is to revisit 18th amendment. On the basis of ethnicity Different regions are demanding provinces but it would further create new problems because there is need of rule of law first then any other thing. It is pertinent to mention here that it is IK who first ever among politicians who focused on environmental issues & struggling to get benefits of natural resource economics. In fact, climate change is the global issue & Pakistan badly effected, no doubt IK's program of Billion Tree Tsunami & Clean Green Pakistan would prove in best favor of state & nation besides it must be reassessed development projects to minimize risks as in past our few bridges caused heavy land erosions by Indus, Chenab &Jhelum rivers resultantly thousands of families become unemployed due to loss of their land. Pak leaders who during five decades ruled the state like monarchs had never put intentions on poor people problems & remained busy in their business, increased the volume of both internal & external debt, majority of them are now in quandary & they don't know what future they hold. Since IK appeared in Pakistan politics he made intentions on lingering problems of poor and after coming into power He started to make ground work for reforms aimed to repair the system but bureaucracy and traditional politicians obstructing by delaying tactics. Despite this ground work is going on & in some fields ground work has been done and implementation process is on but need ensuring transparency. Youth loans, housing scheme, health card programs are beyond appreciation but its time to make new social contract to ensure equal opportunities for poor and their due share in national resources, there should be subsidized loans for farmers& youth, crop insurance under gov't authority, provision of quality education & merit base recruitment must be top priorities. There is dual standard for rich & poor, it must be end now, there should be rule of law and must be same standard for rich & poor. Time to end protecting violators of law, looters & plunderers. Reforming judicial system is the need of hour as nation may rid off from "PeshiPePeshi" tradition. Nepotism is basic part of our culture, it must be quite now. Most importantly bring "say no to corruption" out of advertisements & books, instead ensure implementation of it on ground. Ruling Party seems sincere in reforming financial sector but transparency & accountability needed to reach designated position. As it is longstanding vision of IK to ensure effective local bodies system, depoliticization, rule of law, free society from status quo and this is the need of hour to free from all crisis. Hopefully Gov't will engage in repairing system for the betterment of nation.
