Why the land of the pure has turned into the land of corruption, favouritism, nepotism, extremism, inequality and exploitation? Who is responsible for this dismal state? Why the honest hardworking people have become dead soul? We are still not clear about our national interests and ideology.
Our 50 percent population is still deprived of education, health, and is living below poverty line.
Which state institution is responsible to define national interest objectively? Is it not the responsibility of the state and government to control its territory and guarantee the security to its citizens, maintain the rule of law and create an enabling environment for self-sustaining economic growth?
Does our national interest say to consider India our enemy number one and Afghanistan our strategic depth? Is it in our national interest to live on foreign grants and loans while our rulers live like kings and make false promises with the people?
