Mismanagement, corruption, pathetic political system, education and dearth of political awareness were the main reasons that always prevented Pakistan to emerge as a democratic and well governed country.
Pakistan has been facing these challenges since its teething years. But, since media is free, judiciary is independent, people are intellectually liberated and army is sidelined from politics, Pakistan marks a remarkable success on political, social and educational fronts.
Today, more then 216 political parties are registered in election commission and all of them are willing to contest the upcoming general elections with sheer enthusiastic spirit.
This pluralistic political system and judicial populism, coupled with free media and educated civil society, can make a new Pakistan. It appears from the current situation that status quo mindset is being changed apart from existing style of governance.
To welfare people, a well organized administrative system is need of the hour. And, this can only be achieved by strengthening meritocracy and delivering governance system. Unless merit is not promoted and practiced, the dream of welfare people can never be transformed into reality.
Political parties after coming into power should seriously ponder over the point that they will welfare a common and educated person or their so called Jiyala, Bhai, Choudhry or Tabdeeli Razakaar.
