Dealing with is better then claiming others

[hanif.sadia]

Pakistan is going through an unstable environment, where everything is unstable and uncertain. These conditions are not new in Pakistan but after six decades of independence it's a serious concern to think. Most of the nations that born before us are now in good position and one of top most example is of our own most nearby and friend country China. China is more big country in area and population then Pakistan, China and Pakistan have lot of similarities both exist in south-Asia, both have agricultural based economy, both of same seasonal aptitude and both consist of various ethnic groups. However china is lifting in the world economies Pakistan is totally mismatched with China in this regard. With every rising issue, we Pakistani people have names to blame. Maybe we get relaxed after putting away responsibility towards any issue by blaming others. If we study chemistry then we knows one of the natural rule of chemistry, that “whenever molecular bonds of any matter become weak a space created between them and external forces come to fill these gaps”. The same is happening with Pakistan, we Pakistani are splitting because of languages, sec, regional culture, and castes and in many other ways. Foreign forces are getting benefit, of these gaps and we Pakistani blame those foreign forces for all sorts of crisis in Pakistan and showing ourselves powerless and helpless to solve the problems.

With the passage of time Pakistan is undergoing more and more problems that hinder the developmental process and increase poverty, insecurity, vulnerability day by day. Most of Pakistani blames America for all sorts of issues and crisis. People though that they are Americans who give, power to Taliban, who give way to India to interfere Pakistan security matters, who encourage India to abolish water treaty and think them as intimately involved in each issue of Pakistan. I do not regret the views of my Pakistani people but if we turn our face from reality it will further hamper our sovereignty and developmental process. It is important to analyze the issues wisely not emotionally, we have to create radical thinking in our minds and make ourselves able to absorb any sorts of changes required to move towards betterment. We should understand that not only our politicians guards of our country but now there is a need of 176 million guards of Pakistan. Means each Pakistani should take responsibility of guarding the country. We mostly prefer to just wake early in morning go to office, university or whatever then join, homes after ending hours criticizing governments for energy crisis, sugar crisis and for all other but do not do something for the country. Sometimes we become emotional in favor of any leader or political party and stop thinking and become unable to analyze and criticize wrong acts performed by them.

If we go through our major crisis such as energy crisis, sugar crisis and water crisis we could understand that main blame-worthy are we ourselves. Government does not make the people aware of real facts and feel better to make previous governments responsible for all sorts of problems. The views of most of our opposition leaders make the people minds against America or India. Nor opposition neither government takes responsibility of all sorts of problems and makes the people also irresponsible. Media that have a strong space to confess people towards the major faults that committed by politicians and public both but it do not arise awareness in people that could make them enable to tackle with the crisis. Media's briefings always show that public is not responsible for any drawback in Pakistan. It is also public fault that evens after declaration of NRO as unlawful, corrupt leaders still enjoying their luxurious seats. Public came on roads to protest load shedding, shortage of sugar but unable to depict the solution, unable to play actual role.

Other then these major issue we are stinging by various other issues that are self-made by our selected government which includes security issue, corruption and havoc, debt burden, inflation, Karachi crisis and habit of tax evasion. This scenario is not new in our political history whenever any government comes into power it mostly adopting policies in their personal interests. While making policies they have keen interest in the bank balances of their own party members. These evil activities are not limited to this government, Pakistan face these evils by each leader of history either from military or from any political party. People party of Pakistan have occupied the Capital Islamabad five times two time in Mr. Bhutto era, two times during Mrs. Benezir Bhutto and this is now their fifth term. Mr. Bhutto era was considered as one of the brightest era despite so many losses that occur in his time especially loss of West-Pakistan. Population of Pakistan is still remembering Mr. Bhutto but they forget that they, themselves are responsible for loss of one good leader. This is the Pakistani Public who come on roads against him and create such a situation that army find a way to take over. Whether the backdrops of those riots were opponent parties but, nor at that time neither now our public become able to distinguish between right and wrong and decide wisely in favor of country. They follow the steps and demonstration of different political parties they do not think that what is in favor of them. Nowadays in Karachi again the same situation occurred. People kill each other on the directions of political parties just on the issue of language. Political parties forget their real responsibilities toward the prosperity of people and creating mischievous concepts among the public.

Our people are unaware of real and fare political process due to which they could not decide who could be the good leader. On one hand so many people threaten by political parties in their villages and circles and pressurized violently to vote in favor of them but on the other hand so many of our people vote criminal politicians in return of bribery in any form. Most of people vote such politicians because of caste, area or due to any sort of relationship whereas, when such politicians came in power they give priority to their own bank balances at first and decide always while considering their own personal interests. In addition due to illiteracy of more then half populations, they are unable to read newspapers and understand political debates and discussions by media. Also media fail to create awareness in a right path. They do not highlight roots and real causes of any issue. Even I could not understand sugar crisis water crisis and energy crisis up till I do not read articles and reports from Internet. So how our poor population could understand these issues and demonstrate in a right way instead of creating violence. Out of 50 present of our literate population only few have, access to Internet and among those very few of uses Internet to know the real causes of issues. Moreover little number of people able to understand English hence unable to read leading English newspapers. Information by English newspapers are always much more than Urdu newspapers and most of our poor and village based population prefer Urdu newspapers.

When I go through various issues and crisis of Pakistan I become able to think that it is idle to blame America for hunger, insecurity and violence in Pakistan. I am not in favor of India or America but I think that we have to look in ourselves. We should analyse our own faults towards these crises. So many people are of the view that America has no interest in Pakistan it is interested only in his personal benefits. No doubt not only America but even most of Pakistanis individuals' priority is always their own benefits at cost of loss of others. The same game that we play with our own brothers within country America is playing with us. Hence it is better to deal with our own attitude and behaviors before claiming others for all faults in our country. It is important to differentiate right and wrong on ones personal eye view despite using eyes of those politicians who are using public's blood to achieve their own interests. We have good politicians as well but it is up to public to decide well, but again as public is unaware of all situation hence media should change its track from just criticizing and enhance the public knowledge about the real causes of issues and make them able to demonstrate and decide well.
