Pakistan: March 23 Resolution – Forgotten Imperatives of a Progressive Nation
by Mahboob A. Khawaja, PhD.
( March 24, 2016, London, Sri Lanka Guardian) If you wish to view the screen of virtual reality of Pakistan’s politics – come and see the mirror – how Pakistan is being governed by the wrong people, with wrong thinking and doing the wrong things. Continued daily bloodbaths of the innocent civilians triggered by terrorism, overwhelming militarization of the public institutions, destroyed commerce and trades and non-productive economic culture have incapacitated the operational body of Pakistan. Its existence and freedom are challenged by its own political rulers. The thinking hubs of the nation must initiate planned steps and organize revulsionary collective ideas and ideals to deter threats to the national freedom, integrity and future of Pakistan. Those who embrace power through intrigues, gangesterism, political killings, military coups and backdoor conspiracies are not the legitimate rulers and answer to the aims of the peoples’ aspirations for a strong Pakistan. The priorities must be focused on developing a new system of economic and political governance by disconnecting the interdependence on foreign aid, debts and dictates. The nation has been dehumanized to its critical and painful juncture of very survival. Under the circumstances, what is there to celebrate a Pakistan Day of March 23? The symbolic Pakistan Day celebrations will remain devoid of much needed change and reformation goal of the institutionalized corrupt system of governance. Pakistan is in desperate need of political change and a new political system of governance to safeguard its national freedom and a sustainable future.
How Absolute Rulers Betrayed the “Pakistan Resolution of March 23?”
