Political Instability in Pakistan

Now a day's everybody knows Pakistan is such in a terrible condition, where bomb blast, target killings, suicide attacks etc are going on. And by all these we must want the strong action to stop these things. Our country people are afraid, our leaders, our government are weak to stop them. So we need to develop the strong force to stop these things. In spite of all these, Politics in our country is playing an important role than our whole forces like army, police, rangers etc are doing. Politics in our country and other countries is very important. In Pakistan Politics is the back bone, for improvement. Political Parties are playing an massive role in Pakistan, where their party leaders have an status all over Pakistan and as well as in the hearts of people. People of Pakistan really owe them; they follow them, respect them and obey them. Political leader is like a guardian to them. But now politics in our country is going very worst due to bad judgments and lots of more. According to me there are few factors that are suits on the Political Instability in Pakistan and these are as under,

1) American Influence in the Politics of Pakistan:

        

    Great powers have great designs Pakistan has resource rich area in the north-west, people rich in the north-east. Pakistan is junction of South Asia, West Asia and Central Asia. US interests in the regions to contain the Growing China, nuclear Iran, terrorist Afghanistan, and to benefit from the market of India.
     Security and Business are two main US interests in the region while Pakistan is playing a from line role against terrorism. Therefore Pakistani governments, either military or civilian, always sought green signal from Washington which supported dictators.

     Secondly, America’s influence in Pakistan grown very much, and America’s pressure increases to our politicians, which makes bad results, like drone attacks, war on terror etc made Pakistan worst.

2) Illiteracy:

  

    There are many reasons for Illiteracy such as poverty, population expansion, feudal lords and wadera system, low allocation of budget, male dominated society and lack of schools in rural area. In which Pakistani politics in controlled by Feudal lords.

Many Politicians have fake degrees and they are sitting in national assembly. That’s why Pakistan is going to worst.

3) Bureaucracy:

A bureaucracy is a group of non-elected officials within a government or other institution that implements the rules, laws, ideas, and functions of their institution. (Wikipedia)

    According to this definition, In Pakistan many bureaucrats are implementing such rules, laws etc. that are unethical to politics and that are making politics unstable.

4) Weak Judiciary

     

          Judicial weakness is at the root of security problems. According to the article of paktribune.com on 5^th-Nov-2012- "The security forces detain many insurgents under the name of kidnapers, thieves, corrupt, but after a while they are released back and then they return to doing their actions again, and more strongly than before," he told those gathered.

"If they were to be punished under the country's laws, the security will be better in society. [But] now, no one feels safe except of those who are in power," he added.

 Judiciary plays an important role in crisis Management in Pakistan Politics. If the Judiciary is strong than Politics will be strong.

5) Controlled Media

Today our Media that represents our Pakistan is sold out to corrupt, insecure persons. That’s why the truth is not coming out, many reporters, journalist dies due to these acts, no one even know. In politics there are some people that are corrupt, that have cases for murders, they don’t have feelings for Pakistan just they come here for money and in that case our Media support them that’s why their faces don’t comes to screen. Our Media hides the reality form us, they only shows that what they want to show us, they even don’t care about people of Pakistan. Just still they wants’ to grow up there channels rating.

6) Corruption

     The some corrupt politicians in Pakistan put the nation in severe economic crisis and the nation is still looking for a growth strategy. Our Economic planners look towards the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and other multilateral donors for guidance to spur growth.

        Corruption in Pakistan is widespread, particularly in the government and lower levels of police forces. The country has had a consistently poor ranking at the Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index with scores of 2.5 in 2011, 2.3 in 2010,and 2.5 in 2009 out of 10.  In 2011, Pakistan ranked 134 on the index with 42 countries ranking worse. In 2012, Pakistan's ranking dropped even further from 134 to 139, making Pakistan the 34th most corrupt country in the world, tied with Azerbaijan, Kenya, Nepal, and Nigeria. (Wikipedia)

6) Army Influence:

According to the critics, army influence in politics and in affairs of Pakistan increases very much.

Army in involving in politics day by day. According to the many Journalists, Army era has now ended, now there will be Pure democracy era. Army’s role in Politics is like a tramp card in which they can change the Government and make new Government called Dictatorship.

“The influence of the Army in Pakistan's domestic politics is a major challenge”.
