We need to understand urgent need for serious efforts .....

[Milind Kotwal]

Dear Friends,

 

 I am worried that most our members have not understood seriousness of present situation and significance of developments taking place over last few months. We are still thinking of social work when there is urgent need for some serious activities.

 

I am compelled to compare our situation with the one where we have  a patient  with many diseases, and over a period of time all these ailments have started affecting vital functions of his body and we are carrying tincture iodine and bandage to treat the patient.

 

Try to understand the situation:

 

1. There is total breakdown of governance, government has no agenda for serious development, the leaders are mearly reacting to the developments. Any serious political leader would have initiated programs for improvement in Judiciary, town planning, basic education system, citizenship identification system, administrative reforms and police reforms, which are basic for good governance. Present political buggers seating in the fish market have no such agenda and are interested in furthering their political agenda by initiating and supporting programs like reservation policy and commercialization of everything including public infrastructure, public utilities, and education.

 

2. Effectiveness of overall judicial system is at its lowest

3. Administration is corrupt, ineffective, incompetent, directionless, self concerned

4. Media has become commercial

5. Society is directionless, and confused.

6. There is total crises of leadership, no social or political leadership which commands faith of the people

7. Morale and integrity of armed forces has for the first time is being questioned

8. Pakistan is hell bent on creating serious disturbance in the country

9. Naxalites have gained enough strength to take on might of state governments

10.  Established contractors and political leaders use all means available to them including muscle power to win over work contracts  from state government  and local municipal administration . 

11. Established political leaders use all means available to them including muscle power to  retain their seats in local elected bodies.

 

These are some of the signs of  deterioration that is happening un-arrested over last half century since our independence. Also let me warn all of you, If corrective actions are not taken we   will have to forget our dreams for ourselves, our family and society.

 

Please throw out ideas of local medication from your mind if you are seriously interested in doing something good for the country and our people. I am afraid days of goody goody work are over, and we need people with real dedication guts and determination.
