All same then why targeting GEO ?
All same then why targeting GEO ?
by Hadeed Sher
India's inner peace was at the mercy of ISI
The point i want to make is that all media channels exhibit skulduggery according to their periphery , therefore they all are one and the same thing. They jeopardize the national security whenever security forces operate, Bolan Medical Complex operation for an instance. They are fatuous enough to pass dangerous columns and programs without any censorship on their shows and in their newspapers just for the sake of profit. Therefore, singling out GEO as an Indian agent and its scoffing by the rival media groups wont help unless we deal with the ground realities. Suspects of a victim has a right to point finger on anyone they like. The due process of investigation happens only to verify the victims claim. GEO did stupid programs, but wasn't it GEO that fought at the forefront in the Judicial movement ?
Lastly, the behavior of the demagogues in the latest situation was really disappointing. Senior leaders like Javed Hashmi and Shah Mehmood Qureshi failed in molding the sophomoric Khan to a politician. Imran Khan who was once with Mir Shakeel Ur Rehman participated in GEO TV live telethon PUKAR has clearly demonstrated his lousy mental capabilities to balance out situation among the two pillars of federation. The same Imran Khan never questioned the live telecast of vulgar language used by Musharraf against Mian Nawaz Sharif and even by himself whom he used for the past few years. This is because in any democratic party system ideologies does matter, whereas, PTI has no ideology. One cannot sustain a party based on rhetoric idiotic sentiments specially when most of the party leaders are known corrupts and belongs to the loot mafia of Pakistan. Imran Khan without any iota of doubt clearly took his side to the masterminds of the recent rise of PTI. His servitude was evident from the fact that his supporters obviously on his advice chant slogans against GEO TV, which is their right, but with the photo of sitting CoAS and ISI chief ? Isn't this a blatant effort of fomenting the armed forces for another coup? Khan's learning curve is painfully slow and may be he thinks that perhaps this is the only way he could ever land in the premier office. Rest of the puppets are MQM and TuQ, whom are not worth discussing.Stronger Institutions for Better Pakistan
Stronger Institutions for a Better Pakistan
Written by Hadeed Sher
General elections are over and now the political system has entered in a steady state condition. It's high time that we all demand our representatives for the development of strong institutions. It is a long established fact that since the creation of Pakistan only army has proved to be a strong institution. Their strength due to their institutional structure urged them in the past to coerce the majority through dictatorships and Marshal laws. The absence of any strong political force in general and the lack of institutional discipline in particular yielded to the corrupt bureaucracy and a fragile democratic structure in Pakistan.
Consider the case of natural calamities in Pakistan. During the first decade of the 21st century the establishment of Disaster management authority was intended to rehabilitate the areas stuck with natural disasters. The lack of institutional discipline costed us nothing but the poor performance at the cost of corruption. Every two or three years flood across the country demonstrates the ineptness of NDMA. In case of any disaster the government sees no ways out except to call the army. The presence of army in such conditions is not a big deal in democratic countries, but here in Pakistan it is. People here feel that if every work has to be done by ARMY why the hell civilian institutions are here. May be it is because a huge amount of budget allocation makes them capable of conducting such rescue operation, or may be the ineptness of government officials is the reason. I opt for the second reason, because most of our rulers established new departments and institutes not for the public service but to reduce the unemployment rate. Instead of making the officials of department strong enough so that they can establish the writ of the state they are appointed to pretend a public friendly government. The hiring of people on political grounds drastically degrades their performance. Similarly the development of public works projects on political grounds needs to be halted at the earliest.
The failure in establishing institutes is evident from the fact that departments with a very tough bottleneck now have countless top notch officers enjoying just perks and privileges. How come it is possible that a gas worth 1 billion PKR is being stolen in an area without acknowledging the local staff members. The lack of any disciplinary action actually permits such events. It is indeed good that the authorities took action but why they failed to locate it earlier. Isn't it because it is a department not an institution ?
The activism of the executives of the provincial government is also a proof in this regard. The heinous crimes are neither reported nor the culprits are arrested before the CM arrives at the spot. The theft of electricity and gas is not possible without the help of ground metering departments. The same is true for those involved in land grabbing of Railway and other government properties. The collapse of proper institutional mechanism is actually sinking the state of Pakistan. Now is the high time that instead of hunting for fancy headlines and a lush looking photographs of social media pages, our politicians actually go for building stronger institutions, because institutions last people die.
