The Pakistan story

in #story7 years ago


Pakistan has to have aggressive foreign policy, compatible and dynamic domestic policies with strong focus on finance and economy and social sector, catering to the needs of the people. The rulers and the bureaucracy should go an extra mile to find out what do the people want and how their needs and aspirations could be satisfied and actualised?

It is the firm belief of the leader for a cause that creates a strong following. And it is the hope that they have together that makes things happen. That is the story of Pakistan and dream for a separate homeland for Muslims in the Indian sub-continent under the flag of Muslim League and the leadership of Muhammad Ali Jinnah. His towering personality and constitutional approach made the miracle happen. Islamic Republic of Pakistan came into being. We need leaders today who can strengthen Pakistan and its institutions and make this nation proud of its history and society. Much needs to be done to achieve a reasonable standard of good governance and to let democracy function. At the same time defence of the country has to be given the highest priority in the face of internal and external threats and waves and shades of terrorism, extremism and sectarian divide. Now a days we don’t talk of the menace of ‘provincialism’. But that problem was the first that Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah had pointed out to the people of East Pakistan seven months after the creation of Pakistan in 1947.

Sadly, the mainstream political discourse in Pakistan is completely devoid of talking of real issues. Talk shows on electronic media are simply waste of time and a display of distasteful behaviors. Media hardly plays its part bringing vital issues into mainstream. Sensationalist reporting is often that could be avoided. Meaning of what we call news has to be understood.
