Leadership plays a pivotal role in determining any country’s fate. Unfortunately, the quality of leadership of Pakistan has degraded as our country passes through a critical phase. We are surrounded by problems that are enough to discourage and dishearten anyone. The quality of our gifted leaders’ temperament and spiritual courage of our statesmen is also being tested over and over again. But it is us, the citizens of Pakistan who have to bear with such a tragic lot of leaders. We watch them play their games, telling their lies, playing with our nation and yet remain quiet as if we are a nation of polyester stuffed bean bags! We might even classify as “Punching bags” too!
It is truly Pakistan’s hard luck that we have leaders who are clearly playing with the fate of Pakistan. Many of our leaders have no vision or moral integrity at all.
Elections in our country are filled with cheating and thuggery. And no one seems to do anything about it!Many people would deny it and even if there is real and concrete evidence of this violent transgression, it can be as worthless as tissue paper. Accountability in Pakistan is almost non-existent! No one is answerable to anyone! We just don’t want to open our eyes and face reality. Are our leaders solving our problems? Are they even considering any problems of Pakistan? Where is Pakistan heading off to? Have we ever as Pakistanis thought about the dimensions of this negation of truth in our lives? NO!
Even when our politicians or high officials are caught red-handed nothing much happens. Afterall, we are not a “nation”. We are a “Circus”! We keep choosing entertainers again and again to entertain and amuse the world!
It is always said that justice is one of the most important pillars in the foundation of Pakistan, but where is justice? The rich are getting richer and the poor are dying. Is this justice? Have we ever punished any criminal unless he comes into the eyes of the media? Or is there any guarantee that the criminal will be punished if he comes into the eyes of the media? NO! Why? Because we have very few or maybe just one or two honest leaders who would actually stand up for the real problems of Pakistan.
We can never judge if our politicians are honest or if they are telling the truth or lies but the problem with Pakistani leaders is that most of them are more loyal to their bank balances than to their country and they are pretty much shameless about it!
The citizens of Pakistan, not the polyester stuffed bean bags but the “TRUE PAKISTANIS”: The Awakened Ones are probably losing hope in the future of Pakistan. Our leadership in itself is one of the biggest threats to Pakistan. Being honest, I feel we don’t even need any foreign power to plot against or harm Pakistan. Our respectful leaders are enough!!
