Every political party worker in Pakistan will advocates for its party in such a way that the party has bring an enormous ‘tabdeeli (change)’ to the country. The worker will never listen to the criticism, whether it is ‘constructive’ or destructive’. The worker wants everyone to praise its party and never mention the problems the party is creating for the citizens.
It has been observed that our political parties do not always learn from their mistakes nor admit them, which ultimately harms that party and its leadership faces difficulties in the next election. The reason why Pakistan is not progressing yet is that every politician who comes to power shows a dream to the people keeps his shortcomings hidden.
The people always hope that the democratic government will benefit them, but in fact that government always does things that are temporary and there is nothing left for the betterment of the people in the future. One of the major problems for Pakistan is the lack of long-term planning.
Unsettled issues in the political structure, such as power-sharing, centre-province relations, dynastic and corrupt politics, the absence of commitment by any stakeholder to genuine constitutional democracy, and, institutional checks and balances, are all hindering the development path and the fight against rising inequality.
Ever since the creation of Pakistan, its citizens have always cried with innocence and kept asking for only the necessities of life, which every Pakistani should get according to the Constitution of Pakistan. The country faces a number of severe challenges that have been left unaddressed for far too long.
We have drainage system problems in every province, while the majority of citizens are still deprived of clean and drinkable water. Rising water scarcity is the most existential of all the challenges facing Pakistan. According to the World Resources Institute’s ‘Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas’, Pakistan ranks 14th in terms of countries facing extremely high water risk.
The population is increasing day by day, but our agricultural growth is declining, due to which there is a shortage of food items and people are moving from villages to cities. If the citizens continue to move to cities and stop farming, the country’s economy will come to a dangerous turn.
Political leaders spend more time vilifying the other than conveying what they stand for and how they propose to address the country’s challenges. Those in power seem to equate government performance with humiliating rivals while opposition leaders return the compliment by using equally offensive language.
All politicians are asked to reform themselves and first criticize their party or take it in the right direction.
Pakistan’s development can only be achieved if people in every province of Pakistan get jobs because of their qualifications and the quota system has to be abolished. The farmers should be given their due rights and provided with all kinds of comforts. A basic minimum consensus on strategic issues would compensate for the change in policies and ensure continuity to an extent that is required.
