Separation from Pakistan cannot provide solution to the grievances of people

Democracy as a system of governance and interest representation demands respect for dissent and opposition. It recognizes the principle of majority rule and guarantees protection of minorities. Democracy also builds faith in electoral contestation to gain public office and gives legitimacy to political parties as primary instruments for acquisition and transfer of power from one set of individuals to another. Unfortunately, despite the significance of the above elements only the power full elite are fitted in power and Pakistani are always left at the mercy of circumstances. As this policy is denial of right of Pakistani people to rule their country according to their aspiration and desire to build this country, which can provide equal opportunity to all without any discrimination for the establishment of welfare society.

Since the creation of Pakistan the Pakistani people are left at distant from the corridor of power so that the ruling elite can do what they wanted to do in favors of their interest, leaving the Pakistani people behind, Only the society base on tolerance, equality and justice can be the real guarantee for the prosperous and strong Pakistan but the reality is different, we again have to cross the dangerous line which could be the point of distraction or disaster.

All the oppressed and downtrodden people of the country are victim of the same prevailing system in the country in other words a center of depriviation, injustice and discrimination within the society. The centralized sole power in the hands of one or few of them and they exploit the natural resources of the country leaving behind the people with disease, unemployment, injustice and divide them in nationality, religion, culture, language, tradition etc.The disunity within society is their real base/cementing their power grip, but the master key is to make them (Ruling elite) power less. Because they cannot survive without the power, so the best way to get rights and justice is within unity of the masses, oppressed people, nationality, farmer, worker and intellectuals with other patriotic forces and change the socio-political system to take the ruling power from their hand thus pave the way for elimination of all injustice and redresses of grievances. But this could only happen when we agree to change the prevailing system of sole centralize power in the hands of one person or few of them and to decentralize the power in the hands of common Pakistani at the grass route level.

since last 60 years, no one has come forward and dare to trust the Pakistani and involved them in to the day to day decision making process with intention to develop a sense of participation in to the decision making process affecting the future of their country and their generation at large and share the real benefit of democracy, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons, who understand the mental capability and social patterns of the masses. It is they, who pull the wires which control the public mind, who harness old social forces and engineer new ways to bind and protect their personal interest with outside forces. Sometimes the effect on the public is created by a professional propagandist, sometimes by an amateur deputed for the situation. The important thing is to keep the masses away from the corridor of power.

No one believes any longer that the voice of the people expresses could have been stop. The honest voice of the people, regarding the system will affect the heart and mind of the people, and that mind once made up for change of system by the masses will succeed in creating public opinion. The time has come for the people to take the rain of change for socio-political system in their hand to get rid of, social injustice for ever It is up to the people to decide how long shall we play in the hands of manipulator. How long shall we hang the future of our generation at the mercy of circumstances?

The expectation of people are getting fad, the political forces are fail to come up to peoples demand, A visible crack is being emerged and started to escalate, people are expecting solution for their grievances but getting no hope for relief.

The society based on tolerance, equality and justice can be the real guarantee for the prosperous, peace full and strong Pakistan. Therefore, it is up to the patriotic people of Pakistan, women, youth, laborer, farmer, intellectual, god feared persons, nationalist and progressive forces, media in the country to think, decide and come forward to take the rein of the socio-political System change in their hands. Change of socio-political system is inevitable to empower the Pakistani at grass route level for rapid industrial and agricultural development and establishment of welfare state.

We have already lost the major part of Pakistan in 1971 simply to save the centralized sole power to exploit this country by the ruling elite they let the country break in part then allowing the masses to rule this country democratically, this is a time to stop exploiting the resources of small provinces and neglecting the small nationality. In the present circumstances we are again dragging our sovereignty at stake for the external interest in the name of national interest, instead of our interest i.e. the interest of Pakistani people at large.

Therefore, Change of socio-political system is inevitable to empower the Pakistani at grass route level for rapid industrial and agricultural development and establishment of welfare state, separation of any nationality from the country will not provide any solution to their grievances.
