Internal stability is the item lacking badly in today’s Pakistan . Merely an expression about this precious quality, called stability, might not suffice as its practical manifestation stands more important than a customary spiritless narration . Otherwise as a nation we prefer talking more and acting least . Internal stability , being a term of collective nature , depends upon many interlinked sensitive fields . In our case economy , education , justice , health ,social equality , public safety vis a vis law and order are such universally acknowledged crucial elements without any one of which concept of internal stability remains flawed or unfinished . Unlike many other countries of the world , Pakistan has to strive against multi dimensional security threats which immensely affect the internal stability . Unfortunately , most of the security threats emanating persistently from next door neighbors compel Pakistan to live in a state of compromise on rest of the important ingredients of a stable state . Blood soaked chess game of global players in Afghanistan spread over last four decades gripped Pakistan tightly with little liberty of choices . On one hand , this external factor demanded extra vigilance on western borders which never comes free and on the other hand influx of refugees from thinly guarded ungoverned borders heavily taxed the economy . Aggressive posturing by India coupled with deadly game of cross border terror sponsoring is rapidly multiplying security odds for Pakistan . Much has been written about the overt threats looming over Pakistan from Indian side . Mindset has not changed on other side of the border specially with BJP at the helm of affairs and USA at the back as regional strategic partner . Bullets are not only fired at LOC to target the soldiers ! Terrorists are operating deep in main heartland well camouflaged in the mask of religion , ethnic prejudice and sectarian hatred . Though ,not so easy but one can identify the terrorists with some extra input and obviously extra ordinary cost in terms of human blood as being paid successfully by Pakistan . This nerve breaking campaign has direct impact upon internal stability . An ideal scenario can be nothing less than a terrorism free Pakistan with all civil law enforcement agencies in full control of internal front . Despite all the precious sacrifices unfortunately , Pakistan has not yet been able to achieve this much desired standard primarily due to serious capacity deficits in civil law enforcement quarters . It is a serious failure on part of the past rulers and almost equivalent to a deliberate attempt of failing Pakistan at a crucial stage of survival battle . Besides many other odds , a venomous trend of social media campaigning against Pakistan has emerged as a new menace . During last press briefing DG ISPR has also made a mention of this dangerous weapon being optimally used by our arch rival enemies . It is more than surprising and eye opening that more than 5000 social media accounts became operative from Afghanistan in a span of few hours and all started venom spitting against Pakistan by maliciously aligning with dubious maneuvering of PTM . It is not hard to decipher that vigorous social media drive against Pakistan and unusually undue coverage to a pawn like Pashteen has Indo – USA joint backing . Pakistan is in the eye of storm and survival can not be prolonged without being extra ordinarily vigilant on all fronts .Inefficiency of past ruling regimes has deeply weaken our guards on many fronts .Well thought-out media campaigning is being orchestrated to perpetuate polarization in society . We witness biased story tellers raising storms in a cup of tea by targeting armed forces with baseless allegations . In this moment , Pakistan can only accelerate on right track with joint input of all state offices . Pathetic corrupt regime of PML-N neither delivered in terms of governance at internal front nor it could fetch the slightest good on external front . Present chaos and limp in national stance is the worst outcome of political mismanagement and absurd ruling style of disqualified stooge . Pakistan belongs to the nation comprising of the poor masses and it has nothing to do with the plunderers having all assets off shore .A unified stance on national issues and a wise decision on upcoming polling day can only save the future of our generations . Let’s stand united , vigilant and focused to counter the venomous moves of all our enemies . It is only we the Pakistanis, the real stake holders , who can beat all odds and restore the internal stability in our sacred land .
