Unfortunately, today, Pakistan
is facing many problems which tend adverse effects to the country. Poverty,
terrorism, poor educational reforms, political instability, diplomatic scenario
on the international front, etc.
Although the above mentioned problems hold an important stature in the list of
troubles that our country is enduring, but in my opinion, corruption is the most
attention seeking matter in this regard.
Corruption is a termite which will , God forbid hollow the base of our country
and when the base is weak no country can expect development. Expressing further,
I think that this very corruption is the root cause of all the matters that I
mentioned in the beginning.
By definition, corruption, in terms of mutual affairs is the unlawful
distribution of rights in such a way which obscures the concept of fairness.
When a person is unable to attain his due right, it is obvious that he will
develop a negative sentiment against those who hinder his right. This unfair
distribution of finances, promotes poverty. And when people cannot afford the
necessities of life, even the basic requirements, they are propelled to commit
illegal acts to make a living, even terrorism. Many a terrorists who have been
caught in the war on terror have confessed that they violated the law to earn,
for fulfilling the basic commodities of life.
Due to the menace of corruption social differences have arisen in the society.
People who are weak economically due to unfair distribution of economic
contents, are unable to educate their children at good institutes, It is hard
luck of the country that, there are many parallel education systems, instead of
single comprehensive one.
When the society is facing social differences, political instability is aired,
causing bad governance. Hence it is seen many times that people often loose
their confidence in the political leadership; therefore the arrival of the
military governments is seen.
And due to this internal turmoil, Pakistan always have to face diplomatic
pressure on the international scene.
Unfortunately, corruption is seen at every level and in numerous forms. Let it
be leadership to the person in charge of some warehouse at a local factory.
There is a need to differ between privileges and corruption. When a person
exceeds his legal boundary of benefits he is to be accused of doing corruption.
We still have time. If we want, we can undermine this menace and save our county
and register a safe and prosperity nourished future. Anti-corruption
organizations need to be made efficient and fair and square. And at the grass
root level such diverse programmes of responsibility building; be introduced
nationally, which would groom the citizens in a way focusing on sincerity to the
country. Electronic media and national awareness programmes at educational
institutes such as lectures by un-controversial & honest personalities and
patriotic think tanks who provide their services on volunteer bases; can be
efficient and result yielding tools for this matter
May Allah always give us the strength of attaining Rizq-e-Halal, affluently and
with respect. Aameen.
