Democracy in Pakistan is in its extreme fake form. it can not be called democracy. It is the worst form of aristocracy. in Pakistan, few families, landlords, jagirdars, and rich people have taken control of the country and have captured the whole political and democratic process. They are not the true representatives of the people. they have served their own interests so for. they had no concern with the welfare of the people and state. So for twenty four in no proposed amendments has been made to the Constitution. Among these amendments, not a single one is relevant to the welfare of the people or society. These all have been made to protect their own interest. there is no rule of law. people are not a part of the democratic process. they are weak and have no say in the affairs of state. there is no law and order. weak foreign policy and international role have malign the image of the country. terrorism, target killing, robbery,and corruption are touching the heights and have jeopardized the existence of the state. the above mentioned elements are the indicators of true democracy. if these indicators exist somewhere, then there is true democracy otherwise other form of democracy is prevailing there.
However, one should not desperate with present scenario, inSHALLLAH time will come,the people will take interests in the politics and will come to know about their rights and duties, then they will become enough powerful that they will become the decision maker of their fate. but it will take some time, about ten more years means election of 2023.INSHALLAH

I agree with you. It was aristocracy or plutocracy or may be oligarchy but i disagree with you in present scenario.
Don't intermingle past with present.
In past ,there were hardly ten political parties and circulation of power was moving around them. Today, there are many political parties along with independent institutions like judiciary and media.
Aj ka media and judiciary woh nahi jo 5 sal pehly thy. Same as, awaam b woh nahi jo 5 sal pehly thee.

No matter whether you abuse democracy or not but its for sure that it is the only system through which Pakistan can be made welfare state.

democracy will only flourish here, if the masses are educated.why don't we bring such a people in the government which are honest or which are less corrupt as compare to the others.we have no courage to contest election.if we do not come forward then how we can critisize this system.who brings these people into power?why there is dynatics politics in the country? it is because of us. if we want to eliminate this corrupt system then we can. because we are responsible for it.we should cure it by bringing awarness into the masses and making them educated...

Lala g, relax.

InshAllah everything will be fine.

The process of fine-tuning has just begun.

People are nurtured and their traditional mindset has been changed.

I am sure of change in future and every Pakistani should expect the same.

For change, we should individually play our part like our fore-fathers. We can ask people to vote for loyal and honest people rather than spiritual-guide cum politicians.

Regards,

Democracy in our country has only by name. I think during last five year we just got turmoil of sectarianism, extremism, terrorism. Political parties were fighting for their sake to get political advantage. People were being deprived for their human rights. They were tortured by different ways.

I m very sorry that we could not achieve the real meaning of democracy

Unfortunately scientists have still not succeeded in inventing an instrument that can measure the quality of brain
I think people are becoming aware politically. now it is hard for politicians to propagate deceptive agenda successfully. After 10 to 15 years Democracy would gain some fine momentum.

So you read between the lines.
You have understood what i wanted to say.
