A weak and unstable political system could be an invitation to chaos and violence. It is often said that political instability leads to social, economic and environmental instability which in turn leads to violence. This is certainly true for Pakistan, where a weak and unstable political system could be an invitation to chaos and violence. Political instability has been a hallmark of the country since its inception in 1947. The first decade was marked by intense conflict between different ethnic groups seeking independence for their respective homelands within British India. In addition, there were tensions between religious communities who had not yet fully accepted each other as equals after centuries of mutual hostility following the conquest by Muslim invaders from Central Asia in the 8th century CE (Common Era). Exacerbating these issues were those arising out of differences between West Pakistanis – who mostly belonged to the dominant Sunni sect -and East Pakistanis – who mostly belonged to minority Shia sect -over how best should be governed after independence was achieved via referendum held on December 16th 1947 when 96% voted against partitioning into two separate countries along ethno-religious lines (with 91% voting against separating east from west).
It was a bipartisan effort on the part of those in power to subvert the democratic process and weaken political parties. The ruling party and opposition parties were playing dirty games. The ruling party was trying to weaken the opposition parties and vice versa. The opposition parties were trying to weaken each other as well as the ruling party. This is evident in the way that political parties are being treated by the government today. There have been many cases of harassment and arrests of members of political parties, including MQM leaders Altaf Hussain, Dr Farooq Sattar and Aamir Khan Beg (former minister). One prominent example includes former prime minister Nawaz Sharif who was arrested by NAB on July 13th 2018 after being disqualified from his previous position as premier due to corruption charges brought against him by NAB back in 2017.”
The need for constant campaign financing has encouraged corruption, crime and other illegal means of money making by the political representatives.The need for constant campaign financing has encouraged corruption, crime and other illegal meansof money making by the political representatives. The voters are able to vote for a particular representative because of their popularity or some other factor that attracts them. This does not mean that all political representatives are corrupt but it canbe said that most of them are corrupt. The reason behind this is the financial condition and economic status of Pakistan. The economy of Pakistan is in a very bad shape due to political instability over past many years which has resulted in lack of job opportunities for youth who graduate from university every year, unemployment rate is high as compared to previous years and there are no industries which have been established during these years by any government so far as well as no foreign investment opportunities have been made available due to security reasons etcetera, therefore these young graduates have no choice but go into business on their own or join hands with some people who already own businesses in order to make ends meet themselves earning through unethical means such as smuggling etcetera which otherwise could become possible if they had jobs in formal sectors such as private sector companies where they could earn Rs 50 thousand per month minimum salary plus overtime allowance plus incentives including medical benefits; pension schemes etcetera .
There is also a lack of trust between the different branches of government, i.e., executive, legislature and judiciary, which makes cooperation on crucial issues difficult. In Pakistan, there is also a lack of trust between the different branches of government, i.e., executive, legislature and judiciary, which makes cooperation on crucial issues difficult. The judiciary functions under its own set of laws and has a history of intervening in the affairs of other state institutions. The executive is often accused of being weak due to frequent changes in leadership. This instability creates an environment where no one can be confident about how well they’ll be able to do their job for long enough to make any kind of impactful change.
The role of the judiciary:
In order for Pakistan to address its political instabilities moving forward, it’s necessary that trust between all three branches be strengthened so that they can work together effectively towards solving problems facing society today such as health care access or educational opportunities for minorities living within urban areas across the country which face high rates violence due lack resources provided by federal agencies like police forces whose budgets haven’t kept up pace with inflation rate increases over time making effective policing harder.
Pakistan is a federal republic but one cannot help but wonder if in actuality it really is so, for there is no uniformity as far as laws are concerned and each province tends to work according to its own wishes rather than that of the overall country. But one cannot help but wonder if in actuality it really is so, for there is no uniformity as far as laws are concerned and each province tends to work according to its own wishes rather than that of the overall country. The government is not able to work as a team, nor is it able to work together. This has given rise to many problems that could have been avoided otherwise.
The politicians keep their loot safe through offshore accounts while Pakistan becomes a failed state. In Pakistan, the government is corrupt and the politicians are not working for the people. The politicians are not working for Pakistan, and they’re not working for the country or nation. They‘re not even working for their own states! In this case, it’s very easy to blame international companies and individuals who get rich from corruption, but that would be an oversimplification of what’s happening in Pakistan right now as election season approaches. The reality is that everyone is getting rich off of corruption—including those who aren’t directly involved in stealing money from public funds or selling out their countrymen (or women).
