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 At times, democracy has been replaced by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.
