Vote of aalim and jahil holds the same value.

This sentence has been used very frequently. Let's look closely if it's use is correct or not.

Democracy gives you time to educate the jahils, illiterate and ignorant. You get five years to create awareness you envisage and check the result in poll. Then you get next five years. In the end there should be no 'jahil' anymore.

You don't do that hard work part but blame democracy conveniently.

Secondly, there's no limit of knowledge. You'll always have more knowledgeable and less knowledgeable ones. Aalim and jahil are relative terms. All you need is maintain minimum level of awareness. Then anyone can work further and mould public opinion in his favor.

Democracy is over-rated.

There are many countries doing fine without democracy and many failed states are democratic.

If Imran Khan delivers then we can continue the democratic process, otherwise we will have to demolish the failed system.

Then "weigh" the votes instead of counting them.

Actually democracy is misunderstood.

If people are happy with a king, monarch or an entity ( technocrats ), there is de facto democracy prevailing. When there is question of replacing that king, monarch or entity, there's no other way out than democracy. You will have bloodsheds, revolutions etc. etc. In the end democracy will prevail. So it is wise to give democracy a fashion from the beginning.

There's no question of weighing the votes when you have set minimum criteria of 18 years of age. Obviously non citizens aren't eligible to vote no matter how educated they are. So democracy means giving equal status to all the citizens hence respecting the sovereignty of the state.
