Reducing tensions between political forces and state institutions and establishing a working relationship is a national need of Pakistan.
Fundamental reforms are necessary to save the state system from collapse and move the country forward.
They include an independent and autonomous Election Commission, the formation of a representative, active, conscientious and law-making parliament, representation of educated middle-class people in parliament, reduction in the size of the governments and privileges of the ruling elite, determination of the boundaries of the establishment, prevention of corruption at all levels, an empowered local government system, a fair, transparent and workable taxation system, restructuring of the civil service, purification of the judiciary, appointment of judges on merit, and an empowered, responsible, transparent judicial system accessible to the common man.
Democratic election of the leadership of political parties and establishment of internal democracy in them is most important ..
Implementation of a conflict resolution approach to solve the challenges facing the federation and the state should be the way forward ..
Political parties will have to wake up from their slumber and work on these issues - without following the path of fundamental reforms, Pakistan's stability, prosperity and security will remain under serious threat.
Expectation: A few aesthetic cover drives ➔ "A star is born!" ➔ Pakistan cricket is saved.
Reality: 171-10.
We build them up into overnight stars just to tear them down, but the bitter truth is we are fundamentally lacking basic talent and skills right now. #PakCricket
As a hardcore cricket fan who never watches football, I'll say it with no shame that football is the far superior sport. Cricket will never grow the way it should and is slowly being killed.
