Emergency Rule For Common Man In Pakistan

Don’t ask me about the politics of my country because it’s like a whore surrounded by many customers. This can be the simplest description of a country’s political scenario where corrupt politicians, incompetent bureaucrats, ailing judiciary, languishing institutions and opportunist electronic media disappoint masses at every level.

Sadly enough, this is a country where insincere politicians keep on sitting and waiting like hungry wolves during winter season to devour the one who becomes drowsy while at the moment, all deceitful politicians are eying on the drowsy masses to rob them of their resources in the name of nationalism or religion. Institutional weaknesses of this sort invite the most powerful institution of the country namely army to govern the public against their will.

The imposition of emergency by President Pervez Musharraf was also the result of the same vicious cycle which the county has witnessed many times after its independence. The so-called independence of the country had just been a change of masters- from British rule to the U.S dictations. The struggle to attain power revolves around the few while the day-to-day activities of the masses suffer as a result of the unrest spread by these contestants.

The imposition of emergency has also affected the general public a lot. First of all, they were deprived from the free flow of information, but why? Because some private television had become a party against the government and they had kept aside the principle of objective reporting like the Geo. TV and some others. It’s a bitter fact that such television channels, for the sake of their revenues were sometimes supporting government’s campaigns and sometimes facilitating its opponents.
