To make Pakistan a progressive, prosperous and modern state, the civilian government and establishment should cut down their expenditure and make available more funds for education and social justice. Educated citizens are the real assets of any civilised advanced country.
At present Pakistan is dominated by intolerance, violence and injustice. How long the country can survive with such pathetic conditions?
When fundamentalists, obscurantists, extremists and terrorists have taken up to dictate hatred and impose their agenda by force. They have penetrated in every institutions of the country. Religious radicalisation has been fostered by the civilian as well as military rulers for such a long time that it is not possible to put the country on the path of progress without abandoning the slogan of Pakistan is the fortress of Islam.
Instead of promoting the religion, Pakistani Nationalism should be promoted. For the last 30 years thousands of innocent citizens have been murdered in the name of faith. These innocent people are killed in the name of religion. Over the years, intolerance has hardened and made murderous elements that are now threatening the very existence of Pakistan.
