Current Political Situation of Pakistan: Overview
The article initially provides a brief overview about current political situation of Pakistan. Pakistan is a developing country and it is politically unstable but we live in the world where everything is possible. Democratic governments have always failed to complete their tenure which eventually results in a long lasting dictatorship reign. In Pakistani politics, there is a clear domination by few families only and these families have never produced long lasting fruitful results. The political system has been stagnant since 70′s and no drastic change has taken place. The chair of head of state has been a war between the head of the army staff and a few noticeable political leaders. Who has suffered? Well, you guessed it right, the nation!
Pakistani Politics Current Situation

If we observe the political situation of Pakistan, much of the politics is based on different ethnic groups. It’s fair to say that the current political situation of Pakistan is in dire need of substantial changes if we compare it to the political systems of leading nations in the world.
Role of Political Parties in Pakistan
Pakistani PoliticsAlmost every party represents a particular ethnic group, therefore no party has got the support in every region because the role of political parties in Pakistan is very much based upon different ethnic groups they represent. This is one of the major reasons of slow development in some specific areas as compared to others. There are a number key problems in political system of Pakistan, & the list grows on and on with every passing minute.

    When Pakistan emerged on the map of the world as a sovereign and independent state in August 1947, it was like a baby in ICU with hardly any prospect of survival, on account of its extremely vulnerable defence and fragile economy. However, despite numerous setbacks, crises and turmoils of gigantic magnitude, it has so far been able to survive and make some progress due to several factors, perhaps the most important of which is its strategic geographical location and its particular ideology.…

    The 1973 Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan promises Parliamentary System of Government with the President of Pakistan as head of the state and a popularly elected Prime Minister as head of government. Unfortunately, over a period of time, in the lust of power few powerful figures have made some amendments to the constitution. These amendments changed the constitution so as to be biased towards the Presidential System.…

    Foundations of Pakistan lie in democracy. Democracy here means rule of the people. Like other successful democracies the power of administration is determined at the grass root level through electorate. It then moves upward in the administrative hierarchical structure and is then dispensed off downwards. Other state institutions including defense, judiciary and bureaucracy complement democracy. Though there have been incidents where one or more institutions conspired to help establish dictatorships but public resilience at large have been too overpowering to let dictatorships flourish unchecked. Consequently three of the four military backed dictators had to step down in the face of growing internal pressures. Public rejection to one man rule is what is quite uncommon in other third world countries like Nepal, Iran and China, where democracy remains a relatively new concept.…

    Such is the sad story of the failure of political leadership and its harmful fallouts on the body politic of Pakistan. Since then Pakistan has remained the victim of repeated military interventions and disruption of political processes. Role of Judiciary The greatest political development in modern times has been the substitution of medieval absolute monarchies by popular democracy under the philosophical assertion of popular sovereignty. Democracy means self-government or in the words of Abraham Lincoln “government of the people for the people by the people.”…

    Political instability in Pakistan is a huge problem for us The territorial issues and border conflicts with India, the socio-economic differences within the country, the struggle for a share of power between the provinces and the early death of the founder of Pakistan Mohammad Ali Jinnah, are some of the realities which not only politicized the policy making elites and their willingness in introducing the fair democratic procedures but also encouraged the non-democratic elements including the army. Even after 63 years, as a corollary, the country could not get cleaned from feudal, tribal, panchayat system and sectarian segregation. In this grim situation the public has been left untutored in the kind of vigilance usually needed to hold political leaders accountable. Pakistan failed to establish a stable democratic government due to constitutional conflict. Due to political instability, Pakistan’s economic and social growth has been curtailed. The root cause of Pakistan political woes lies in its feudal and the winner-take-all approach to governing that has been practiced by successive civilian and military leaders. The Muslim League that brought independence to Pakistan, lacked internal democracy. Once partition and statehood had been achieved, provincial and local political parties have confined the Muslim League to just a paper-party. There was no opposition party to counter Muslim League initially, but later on, Muslim league itself disappeared. Coupled with the political legacy of Muslim League, the civil and military bureaucracy, that was of much importance due to its scarce number, gained so much power that they depressed the political institution. The constitution-less 10 years-history from 1947 to 1956-was an ill exercise of the political actors, which invoked the military to interfere in the politics. Absence of a complete constitution, allowed the people with power to manipulate the political and constitutional institutions, as they wanted. The powerful…

    Islamic Republic of Pakistan, a country of 170 million people, full of natural resources and more than 60 years of independence but still not respected in the world community. In less than 30 years of independence, it’s one wing gets separated (Bangladesh). Remaining part till today is living on IMF, World Bank and foreign donations. Majority of the population is living in rural areas without basic necessities of life. It is a country where financial gap between rich and poor is widening day by day. From the last 10 years, extremism is increasing. What ever happens in the world it is almost understood even before investigations that it will have a link with Pakistan. Almost every kind of problem exists in Pakistan, including electricity load-shedding, bad economy, less educational facilities, less hospitals, inflation and no pure water in many parts. These problems exist in Pakistan right from its independence which as mentioned above was more than sixty years ago. Thus in these 60 years, why our beloved country is not among developed nations even with so many natural resources? Like China, it got independence after us and is now a super power in the world. Like Japan whose major cities were bombed to ashes and has no natural resources but still today they are world economic power. If one would think about the reasons for the problems which Pakistan is facing today, there are numerous. But above all is one. i.e., politicians. “Do our politicians represent our people”? In a democratic system, the elected people should represent the nation so that nation should have faith on their decision. They should think for the betterment of their people and country. In case of Pakistan, look at our politicians. Majority of them are only interested in securing their seat in national assembly through any means. Many of them have criminal cases on them. And above all, there are people who cheated constitution of Pakistan but…
