Totalitarianism, military rule, that in other words can be regarded as a “one man show” i.e. unconstitutional form of Government is a worst form of rule that a country can face however, unfortunate as it has been in the case of a sixty-three years old country, Pakistan such episodes which lasted over almost decades, have recurred over numerous times. Though, now it almost seems like a fact that this very country can be ruled with steadiness merely under one such rule, since even egalitarian governments haven’t done much a benefit to the country, let alone the fact that, the founder of the nation, Quaid-e-Azam said:
“The armed forces are the servants of the people; you do not make the national policy, it is we the civilians, who decide these issues and it is your duty to carry out those tasks for which you are entrusted.”
Despite the verity that the very young country had been born with the agenda of democracy and the founder had been very clear about the function of the army in the government and the political matters relating the country but, Pakistan has undergone many military rules, starting from General Ayub Khan till date when General Musharraf finally gave away his chair and placement as the president of the country.
Now the question here rises that which government can be best suited for Pakistan? Since, democracy is just for the namesake and the military rule hasn’t done much either.
