Ever since i grew
up politically,the most tossed quote was Democracy is the only viable solution
to problems faced by the land.Starting after 2008 elections when self exiled
leaders bowed back on the ground,we have been in a constant state of democracy
if democracy is to elect by people and by vote.
But there's another menace owing to this democracy and that's the
relentless miss governence aimed at satisfying personal motives and super
personal desires.Appointing friends and relatives to key positions is what
iam saying.
Now as mid august approached and the long marches started from
data ki nagri Lahore,everyone from the parliament(Termed a part of status quo
by opponents) is yelling for democracy.Democracy in it's essence is definitely
the best form of government a state can have but what to say of the democracy
focussed on commissions and kickbacks,infested with nepotism,drenched in
corruption.
While talking of the scandinavian democracies in the world,one observes
that their parliament focussed first on the basic rights of masses.Improving
judicial system,stamping out corruption,strengthening local system,devolution
of power to grass root level.That definitely took time but they streamlined
their efforts.One simply can't satisfy his appetite repeating democracy some
200 times a day.No doubt they are not perfect in terms of performance and
nothing in the world meets that benchmark but what they did was meeting the
threshold of performance in terms of health,education,land,tax and most
importantly rule of law.This type of pro active democracy is acceptible to
everyone,this type of governence produces receptive masses denying dictatorship
or other forms of government at any cost or post.
While talking of this land,everyone knows that our leaders want
democracy just to satisfy their need to be power centric.Being in a state of
democracy from last 6 years,democratic leaders are unable to devolve power
through local body elections.What can be said regarding health and education
sector.Every year we loose our pretty,cute,innocent kids owing to some ailment
entirely due to someone's negligence.And what about flood hitting us every
year,We pay millions in terms of compensation money but we are unable to spend
the same to save and preempt the catastrophe.Judicial commissions are
formed.They do formulate the report although that is published by media house
as part of their exclusive story.The culprits are free to roam around.We are
not even heading towards betterment.One can see that setting free Gullu
Butt,worst flooding,Model town tragedy brought bad name to trio of state
pillars.With Pakistan in a state of turmoil owing to IDP’s and floods,Prime
Minister headed to U.S and stayed in Most expensive hotel there.After the news,do
you really think people will keep themselves glued to slogan of democracy.And
by the time,you must have seen your electricity bills,Do you still support this
type of dormant democracy. Democracy in Pakistan is Duration Oriented,It
should be performance oriented.
Last five years of democracy brought a mammoth of embezzlement
stories and that is why democracy is facing the music now.With supreme court in
action and vibrant media in reaction,nothing much happened if we think of rule
of law being prevailed.And while listening to Bilawal's speech,i was
consistently bothering about why the guy kept quiet in his 5 years tenure.We do
know the situation of our country with fragile economy and mobile autonomy but
above all corruption has no justification.
For those who rant dictatorship comes with a package of corruption
too,i wanna prompt that dictatorship is a paratrooper form of government.not
elected by masses while democracy in it's essence means by the people,for the
people,of the people.
Why Imran Khan and Dr.Qadri despite all their blunders
survived to continue their sit in for that long and with that media lens,was
they were talking of people's rights,the slogan was very popular.Pakistan
Tehreek Isaf totally converted a political move to somewhat movement
for masses.Although it's getting more and more difficult to deliver in
KPK,eventhen the conversation from both the containers was actually right..And
finally let me say that this is the first Imran Khan,more and more will come in
future and will get popular,Only performance will block their way to islamabad
and red zone.Belly teaches all the arts,the art to rebel,the art to destroy
symbol of democracy,the art to snatch your rights.
