Structure of any country is based on four pillars, Judiciary, Armed Forces, Government, and the Opposition in the assemblies. Judiciary has to make sure the enforcement of law and provision of justice to the citizens. Armed forces have to secure the country form both external and internal enemies. Government has the responsibility to run the affairs of country both on International and national levels.
Unfortunately, all these pillars have weakened in the year 2011. All of them failed to come up to their defined roles and expectations that a common man keeps from these institutions.
More than 2,500,000 cases are pending in lower level courts, high courts, and the supreme court. A large number of petitioners have died without getting justice. Government is not ready to implement the orders of Supreme Court that are against the interest of ruling party. Armed forces have proven incapable a number of times. Opposition parties, specially PMLN, have failed to act as a real opposition.
We are lacking gas resources. Electricity load shedding cannot be finished in spite of promises by the government. After the stance of Pakistan on killing of 26 army soldiers by NATO, USA has stopped aid to Pakistan. Hence it can be said that 2011 was the worst year in our history.
PTI has emerged out as a third party in 2011. However, instead of giving some agenda for Pakistan, they are just bringing in the notorious politicians in the party. These so called leaders could not do anything for the nation in past. PMLN is also raising the slogans of revolution if they are given a chance.
On a serious note, both of them, individually, cannot improve the financial condition of the country. In this critical time, an intelligent party leader will not take risk of coming in power. Whoever dares to take over will be a definite looser. All party heads need to sit together and find some solutions for the country. My suggestions are as follows:
- President Zardari must be forced by all four pillars to invest at least one billion dollars in Pakistan. Supreme Court has failed to implement its orders for writing letter to Swiss Bank. There must be a deal with Zardari that he will not be asked to give money to the Treasure. However, he must invest that money in Pakistan.
- Nawaz Sharif should also bring money to Pakistan that he is earning in UK and Saudi Arabia.
- An interim government may be formed for at least two years that should bring country back to the track. Good and capable people from all parties must be taken in the interim setup.
- Elections should be held at least after two and half years.
I wish 2012 be a year that brings prosperity to our country.
Situation is really pathetic and one cannot expect any good thing coming to Pakistan in the near future. Imran and his team have a good programme, but they must not bring the corrupt leaders in their front row. Elections in every 2.5 years is not a good suggestion as it costs a lot in holding them. I wish that sincere and honest leaders must unite together and come forward fir saving Pakistan. Pak Army and the Supreme Court should cooperate with them in this regard. Present assemblies must be dismissed immediately.
