Deteriorating state

Why is the state apparatus declining day by day? Why is the life of a common man not secure in Pakistan? Why are people moving/migrating to the West? The only answer to all these questions is poor governance, democratic dictatorship, corruption and poor law and order.

Successive governments have tried to implement agendas other than the welfare and wellbeing of the nation. Our so-called elected representatives are democratic just in name. Their actions are no different to dictators. Corruption is the name of the game. Healthcare and education are the worst performing sectors in the country. Last but not least, a terrorist indoctrinated mindset is destroying our younger generation. We have reached a dead end. There is a need for our leadership – both civilian and military – to take a unified stand against these problems.
