The anomalous tendency to compare civil servants with politicians or pinning the whole future of Pakistan with the performance of civil servants would lead us nowhere but towards conflicts or deadlocks. It needs to be understood that Pakistan is a democratic state where all pillars of state are stable and working under their legal and constitutional jurisdiction.
Besides, all civil servants are bound by oath to remain loyal and sincere to the state as their work is to run administrative machinery and carry out the directions of executive.
To compare or use them against politicians or saying that only a few can save Pakistan and remaining are the rotten lot seems to be a campaign against them and the state at large. Therefore, it would be in the interest of the country if no energies are served in creating deadlocks among state institutions.
