The bond of family politics is quite prominent in Pakistan. It has played a very important role in the past. In a democracy, every individual has the right to come forward and declare himself a leader. We don’t want to flourish the patterns of aristocracy and monarchy in our country. The power must have a trickle down effect. When power will be in a few hands, how can we get a proper democratic culture?
In Pakistan, most of the political parties are continuing with the same policy of family politics. They don’t want to dilute power down to the masses. The implementation of martial laws disturbed democratic process to get momentum. We always blame military for these acts, but the democratic governments have played a key role in paving the path for this interference.
This is the time when the course of history can be changed. People are more vibrant and aware. Media is playing a very important role in updating the society. Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) must work on different lines as the expectations of the people are mounting day by day. PTI is a beacon of hope for all of us. The old style of doing politics must be banished. This will open new horizons for our people where everybody will get a chance to come forward.
