It is sad and unfortunate that Nawaz Sharif elected by vast majority of people had to leave the chair of PM in such a disgrace manner. But this is not a new happening in Pakistan. This stupidity is going on since partition. Was it not better if people of Pakistan decide who should stay and who should go. Already the loyalists of Ex PM are appreciating take over by the General, so that they may have a chance in sharing of power and continue to steal the wealth of the country.
The other day I was listening to CBS where an Indian journalist telling the world that even after the lapse of 52 years, people of this country have not learned self governance and how to run the affairs of the country. Though these remarks were extremely damaging for Pakistanis in face of the world, but they are true. Perhaps Quaid-e-Azam failed to realize that there is no one after him who would lead the country to democracy and prosperity. What had happened to this beautiful land on earth after 1948, perhaps he would have second thoughts about the creation of haven for Muslims.
This is fourth take over by the army. First take over in 1958, resulted in corruption of army and bureaucracy and paved the way for breaking up of the country. Second take over in 1968, resulted in break-up of the country in 1971. Third take over resulted flow of drugs, terrorism, division on the lines of ethnicity, sectarian cast and creed among people. General dragged his power for 11 years until he along with his colleagues killed in C180 plane disaster. But by that time damage done to institutions was irreparable. No one should be happy about such take-over. History has proved that such take-over by army proved detrimental to the foundation of the country and people had to pay heavy price. I pray to Allah, to save this unfortunate land where I was born, from further surprises, disasters and humiliations.
People might argue that what democratic governments have ever done any good to the country. Yes it is true that all democratic governments were corrupt including the last one. But since they were elected by the people, it is their right to continue or change the government, not by overthrowing the legitimate government through brutal force which shows how much an ordinary living soul has a right to live in that country. Any way how weak is the democracy, it is much better than the absolute power, which corrupts absolutely.
Nawaz Sharif and his political predecessors should have continued to rule till new elections or he should have changed with in the parliament rather than kicking them out in such humiliation which has always resulted in humiliation and embarrassment for all Pakistanis with in and allover the world.
Sincerely,
FARID M
