In Pakistan, if even an unpopular and unknown journalist gets a Twitter or Facebook poll, the votes go into the thousands. In a country with a population of 220 million, except for Gilgit-Baltistan and Kashmir, the latest deed of Transparency International's decline in the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) from 1600 people in four provinces is nothing but a frivolous joke. However, out of a population of 220 million, only 1600 data samples are questionable in itself.
But it is also important to note that if the data samples taken from the four cities of each province are of the areas where Muslim League N or PPP has a majority then their result will be different and if these results are Mianwali or government's majority support area the results will be completely different. Anti-government media and politicians, however, have used this report as a pretext to wreak havoc in Pakistan, this is why the government is currently in the throes of a severe storm. Since Imran Khan himself has been quoting reports of the same institution in the past, these statements of Imran Khan are also being raised and criticized.
The apparent purpose of this noisy drunkenness is to increase the pressure on the government and the other is a conspiracy to discredit Pakistan at the international level which could lead to difficulties in investment and other obstacles. While Pakistan is already on the FATF's gray list from which the government has made every effort to get out, it does not seem possible without the gesture of America. Other global issues, including the FATF's gray list and the IMF's strict conditions, are said to be the subject of our Prime Minister's Absolutely Not, which is not wrong.
For the past three-and-a-half years, veteran media personalities and eminent journalists, after failing to give deadlines for the government to leave every few days and then propagandizing deals and delays, now seem to be resorting to other tactics. Regardless of the role played by Transparency International's Adil Gilani, who was appointed by Nawaz Sharif as Serbia's ambassador for "excellent performance". A few years ago, there were stories of FIA inquiry into corruption in Pakistan's authoritative newspapers and magazines with reference to the period during which he was in KDA and then KPT. Is there really no corruption in Pakistan?
No conscious person can deny that corruption has been ingrained in our country for decades. But even if this decline is assumed to be correct, it is because of the dissatisfaction of these 1600 people with the present system and especially with the justice system. Not just on the performance of the government and the reason is that not a single high profile case could reach its logical conclusion due to the kindness of the courts and the connivance of the institutions and bureaucracy. In such a case, even if opinions were taken from millions of people instead of a few hundred, the result might not be much different.
In a country like Pakistan where every other person from milkman to retailer and from tax evasion to electricity theft is involved and no one has any fear of law. Chief Justice of Pakistan could not stop alcohol from turning into honey. Where even the lowest level criminals like Usman and Shah Rukh have no idea of ??conviction despite having evidence, where there is double law and double standard for rich and poor, to reach the logical conclusion of high profile cases and any of them.
There is a need to change this rotten, stinking system and bring in terms and conditions and strictly enforce them so that the common people can breathe a sigh of relief and the country is on the path of real development.
