Public and politicians:Two different systems

-






In our country, I always thought that engineers are neglected their due role in many areas but a bit deeper thought to this issue show this is much more widespread. And we get to see two systems.
  • To have even junior most job at a bank you must be a graduate (B.A, M.A whatever it takes) but a politician in government can become a revenue, finance minister even without knowing definition of finance.
  • One can become defence minister and head armed forces, by law, even if he is not completely mentally sane, but to become a policeman or soldier you need to qualify numerous physical tests along with mental ability.
  • A politician can become an energy or power minister, hence, king of energy supply & its technology, order any new installation, commission a new plant, where to purchase it, where to install it without even knowing whether or not “energy can be created or destroyed”.
  • Criminology graduate has no guarantee of job, L.L.B has to pass many hurdles to get something productive but a politician can have many cases pending in court of law still can become law minister or interior minister and boss of all law authorities.
  • Advisors to governors, CMs special assistants politicians can fit anywhere with just one requirement, "as pleased by government or ruling party".
  • Uneducated at primary level, no law stops a politician from holding a government position education minister, governor or Chief Minister, and can head universities as their chancellor. 
  • Country has hard times, austerity starts at public level and will never propagate to legislators as they will keep on passing bills ensuring their increase in pay and perks.
  • And even more interesting in any case, even if it was wrong FIR you are doomed you cannot get a government job but if you are a politician in Pakistan you can easily become MNA, MPA and probably minister or even president, prime minister.  One can contest elections from jail.

Pakistan freed from British but to free it from their traditional system of politicians, bureaucrats or others in power, it is important for its populace to get awareness as unlimited power with no defined domain to those in power has shown serious consequences in this country.

This blog contains information taken from doctors, health journals, news and websites related to Covid-19. From the making of biggest hospital in Sindh, quickest and smart hospital in Wuhan, complete lock-downs in China, Italy, Spain and others to “GO CORONA” slogans by Indian minister and his crowd everyone is working in a bid to slow down and eliminate corona virus. Quarantine and isolation building at Sukkur, Sindh, Pakistan. Many (like me) would want to prevent Corona not only due to illness it causes but to avoid problems that society poses for people with such symptoms to face in this pandemic; Like coughing, sneezing or cleaning your nose etc in public is now like a taboo or at the least we become victim of ridicule by our friends. So we should prevent getting cold or flu more than ever. Prevention: No handshakes. Washing hands after coughing or sneezing, visiting sick, before, during and after cooking food and returning home from work place or ...

Quran contains guidance about everything Surah- Al Hujrat is 49th surah of Quran. It was revealed to Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) on 9th A.H in Madinah. It contains most essential instructions for amicable society. It has 2 rukkus which contain instructions about the respect of Holy prophet (P.B.U.H), gives directions to Muslims about social and moral values of society and forbids the actions that might create the friction among people and destroy amicable society. Directions about apt behavior with Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H):  In 9th A.H many delegations came from different areas to accept Islam. Those included some uncouth tribes who would not follow general traditions such as sending someone to inquire about Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) or wait for him outside but would call Prophet (P.B.U.H) by name and roam around house of Azwaj-e-Mutahirat which would disturb Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) and as he would not complain directly Allah laid down general rules in respect of Holy Prophet (P....

Reko Diq: Another financial worry?

Reko diq, on remains of volacano where a controversial mining project erupts every now and then;  giving us financial fret It was highly likely that the judgement of the tribunal in the Reko Diq case would go against Pakistan, especially when presiding tribunal had already judged that Pakistan has violated several of clauses in its treaty with Australia (TCC is originally incorporated there). Now, penalty has been slapped on Pakistan which furthers our financial worries. Decision is right or wrong but we have to blame our system at least for some part. A thought must be given how our system of awarding contracts works.  The awarding of projects, leases, tenders and contracts in Pakistan have been problematic and recent Reko Diq case has shown what major loss, the errors in awarding can cause. The problem is that in most, if not all, cases the three parties are involved politicians, bureaucrats and businessman (applicant). Bureaucrats are on same side with or are manipul...
