The long wait isn’t over yet. Infact this ‘wait’ goes back into our history as far back as the death of the Father of the nation.
Pakistan is still without a system that will deliver— or that will unleash the talent and the energies of this nation— or that will provide its people the kind of governance which is geared to create a society of justice—a society without fraud, and graft, and deceit, and corruption, and lawlessness, and disregard of all values-moral or social.
Pakistan of today has a Prime Minister who cannot be treated in one of its own hospitals, who simply has to fly to London for relief, and safety, and comfort and most importantly shopping.
Pakistan of today doesn’t have a hospital where those carrying the VIP badge or stamp can be cured of their illnesses. Their illnesses are regarded as far more life-threatening than those that millions and millions of its lesser mortals are condemned to contract— or those that are allowed to have their way, as the lives of one million lesser mortals are far less valuable than one Mian Nawaz Sharif.
Pakistan’s long wait for a system that will deliver is getting longer and longer as the hope that General Raheel Sharif or Imran Khan had triggered or inspired is threatening to get lost in the haze and the mist of uncertainty and despair.
