I agreed with Dr Tahirul Qadri that without changing the present political system, nothing is expected to be change; only one lot of politicians will replace the others with same credentials. Therefore, unless the opportunists, incompetent and selfish politicians are not replaced by honest and competent ones to solve the problems faced by the people and the issues faced by the country, nothing will change after the elections. Most of the politicians have no political principles; they change one party after another, are only interested to gaining power and then controlling the economic resources of the country and using them to personal advantage. How can one expect any good from those who don’t pay any taxes and plunder public money?
A portion of our population is poor but the ruling elite’s lifestyle is entirely different. They spend millions of rupees on maintaining their royal protocol whereas the majority of Pakistanis are struggling on a daily basis to marginally survive. The mainstream political parties have residences spreading over acres of lands where millions of peoples are living without any shelter. The people of Pakistan must be given the power to decide about their destiny. The present status quo must be changed if Pakistan has to become a self-respected country among the world nations. There is no shortage of good and competent people in the country; they must be given the chance to serve the country.
