After Quaid-e-Azam’s death has been a string of either weak, ineffective, corrupt, demagogic, non-visionary dictatorial rulers or leaders without much exception. The continuance of all-pervasive, anachronistic and highly damaging feudal system has become a fixed frame of mind for the nation. This is in direct conflict with democracy, progress and freedom both economic and political. Total neglect of education has widespread socio-economic implications and clear-cut effects on the society’s moral fiber. This neglect is only the trend of a feudal society like ours. Constitutional acrobats of 1956, 1962, 1973 and later undemocratic amendments destroyed the system of government badly and uprooted the structural integrity. Weak political and military governments paved the way for abuse of official power, nepotism and favouritism for private gains by the civil and military officials, politicians and rulers. The masses trapped in a vicious triangle of bread, cloth and shelter are suffering inescapably. The press and electronic media are largely state-sponsored. Those who claim their freedom forget the unlimited restrictions. The press also failed to highlight the mounting corruption because state functionaries were far expert in hiding their corrupt practices; they relied on the advantage of secrecy of state and official correspondence and transaction. Distorted and weaker laws provided no authority to the judiciary and law-enforcement agencies to dispense justice and relief to the masses. So they also joined hands with the corrupt regimes and officials, and became tools of oppression, instead.
