My grandfather was the person who supported Fatima Jinnah in her election campaigns whilst she was named a traitor just because she was opposing a dictator in elections which were later heavily rigged. Mind you Fatima Jinnah was Quaid-e-Azam’s sister and he was the founder of this country. But nothing could stop a dictator from naming her a traitor. Till this date there is no political independence in this country.

Imran Khan was brought in for Nawaz sharif and Zardari/Bhuttos like Sharif’s were brought in for Bhuttos monopoly in Politics. These are all the same old tricks used and abused after every decade. Whoever becomes too influential they are removed out of the way by false cases or assassinations! Benazir Bhutto is the biggest example of such a thing. When politicians become too hard to handle they’re simply eliminated.

It’s gotten easier to buy off sitting mna’s and mpa’s, meaning you come into power on one parties ticket but as soon as you see this party ship going down you decide to jump off it. Either someone pays you money for switching or you get offered a ticket from another party willing to take you in. There should be a ban on such switchers for at least 2 general elections. They cannot be trusted they’d switch sides whenever it’s inconvenient for them to stand with the party they’re representing. You need no morals or ethics to do that. Then again politics is a selfish game.

The only reason Pakistan has not prospered like Bangladesh is because whoever comes into power starts thinking about personal short term gains while not caring what happens to the country in the long run. Increasing the defence budget whilst more than half the population is living under poverty and crisis doesn’t make sense. Education & health are completely ignored. Whilst the rich can travel the world for a basic treatment the poor to middle class is stuck with whatever options he/she has in this country.

I don’t support politicians who make policies for this country while their kids are sitting comfortably in Dubai, London or somewhere in States. Their kids won’t be facing the consequences of their decisions. The youth of this country however will be living with those consequences with no other option.

Personally I don’t think this country will get any leader good enough. Whoever will come will make money, get cars, invest in property abroad and fly off as soon as he starts seeing a dead end while leaving the people of this country to fall into the ditch they dug up!

May God have mercy on us! Ameen.
