IK and PTI were the antidotes that were needed to initiate some sort of widespread national change towards a better Pakistan (at least sowing the seeds in a hopefully prosperous journey) yet "we" (or rather our useless elites) managed to destroy that and with that the hope of millions of people.
If you ask me, Pakistan SHOULD have been a real powerhouse by now if ruled by competent people with real visions. However we never held our leaders accountable. Instead we are probably the most underperforming nation on the planet compared to our population. Divided into blind zombies following corrupt political dynasties, divided into petty party politics, sects, ethnic groups, with a certain community having divided loyalties (I will not expand here in fear of being accused of being a hater like I was yesterday when I called out Hindu/Indian inspired cultural practices = hence the "Wahhabi" label by that lot) or when you criticize the state of Karachi.
Even the Bonglas (no hatred or anything just kidding here) are slowly speeding away which would have been unthinkable not long ago.
I was once of the belief that suppression of religion/ultra-secularism was/is the way forward but I have come to realize that this would be counterproductive and literally break Pakistan apart.
Hence the solution is education. If we are honest, most Pakistanis are completely ignorant about Islam, hence all the corruption, mischief, divisions etc. Basically everything that Islam preaches against. The same Islam openly encourages humans to seek knowledge, to seek prosperity, solidarity, the establishment of a welfare state etc. Yet none of this is followed in Pakistan, yet we proudly proclaim ourselves as an "Islamic Republic". The hypocrisy has no end. Now watch fraudsters/dubious characters like that Aamir Liaquat Hussain be turned into an infallible martyr from today on!
What is even more sad is the disrespect of the Pakistani diaspora the same lot that contributes greatly to keeping Pakistan afloat. Now there is talk about stripping dual citizens of their inherent voting rights etc. It's like those corrupt incompetent lot that govern us, are hellbent on destroying us. From Musharraf to the Sharif's. Zardari, Bhuttos etc. What a tragedy.
