Ans:  The Importance of Democracy In Pakistan

Democracy is a system of. government in which people choose their leaders and make decisions by voting. This system is based on the direct approval of the public. This method of government has been popular in the world for centuries. People opt for their rulers for a specific term. These rulers are, in fact, their servants. If they serve them well for one term, they can be elected again. This system has been regarded as the best system of government. At times, democracy has been replaced by autocracy or dictatorship. But the ultimate victory went to democracy.
In Pakistan, we see different types of systems. The real misfortune of our country was the death of the Quaid-e-Azam. He succeeded in winning for us a separate country but he could not get enough time to set it at the track of democracy. Those who followed him had their axes to grind. They were never loyal to the nation. They plundered the national wealth.
The politicians were not sincere. They quarrelled among themselves over minor things. They lacked the national spirit. They were selfish and mean. The result was that the governments could not be stable. This provided an opportunity to the heads of the army to interfere in politics. The natural outcome was the military government.
Under military governments, offices are generally held by technocrats. They are skilled persons and know their business very well. They do not have their vote-bank to please. So they can carry out their politics in a better way.
It does not mean that we should debar'democracy and opt for the military government. We should, in fact, devise some effective system of true representation of the public. *
If the elected members are the true representatives of the people, democracy can work successfully in Pakistan. Otherwise, every time the general elections will result in disaster. There must be proper checks on our political leaders so that they may not be able to cross their limits. Only this thing can make democracy, a sign of success in Pakistan.
