Pakistan
became a reality from a dream not just by bloodshed and sacrifices of hundreds
of people but also with a charismatic leader who guided the people through the
hardship, and lead them to a path of hope and promises for them. Quaid e Azam
is the founder of Pakistan and many people consider him as their role model. – What
are the qualities that make him an ideal for people to follow?
It is his commitment and the day
and night effort he made to turn his imagination of a separate country for
Muslims into a truth, a reality that we people live in today who we have failed
to safeguard and prosper. While thinking of all those leaders of that time who showed
Muslims the path to fight for the rights they deserve and gave birth to a new
country which was nearly impossible, a question arises in mind that does
the current government or the political parties hold such characteristics or are they all just here on the platform to play their dirty game and gain fame
and wealth?
Unfortunately, Pakistan's people are at the stage of time where there are uncertain,
anxious and are looking for someone who can come and guide them through this
phase of inflation, corruption, terrorism and what not? People’s hopes are
shattering with each passing day. The present government has proved to be no
victorious as hoped instead it is leading to desperation of change among the
people. The people are hammered to such a point that wherever they see a slogan
or a hope of change, they start rallying behind it, even if that change is not
declared. Questions struck in people’s mind what to do with the democracy that
is claimed to exist in the country, when the bread the very necessity of their
lives is snatched from them.
The
leadership crisis in Pakistan can be proven by various things. One of them is
the emergence of Imran Khan as a strong and famous political leader who had
been in politics for almost about 16 years but gained the momentum now. This
support given to Khan especially by the country’s youth is an evident mark that
they had enough of the false and corrupt dictatorships. – Why was Imran Khan successful
in gaining the support of large number of people?
At this time, when everything is going in vain, Imran Khan raised the slogan and his voice for a change. People’s urge
of change and yearning of anything greatly coincided with the beautiful dream
projected by the famous cricketer. This excitement and hopes were soon doomed
when Khan adopted the policy of ‘wait and watch’ and when he failed to bring
about successful amendments in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as he claimed returning the people back to where
they started.
Following
that, Tahir ul Qadri showed up in politics with a slogan of bringing change in
the country by throwing away the current government. People in large numbers
switched sides and started supporting and rallying behind him though many of
them failed to understand his plan. The restless people simply supported him
because he was standing against the current government and for a change.
This all
shows that at this very moment, Pakistan is in a dire need of a good and an
honest leadership. The people are ready to support and believe anyone who
promises them to fulfill their at least basic needs of food, clothing and
housing. Pakistani had bled for this democracy and they deserve this system to
serve its duty.

I believe we place a great amount of unnecessary emphasis on a leader crisis. If as though, everything is at a standstill only in wait of a messiah than can right all our wrongs. If change is to come, it will from every individual. Although, a top down trickling down effect may prove influential, there are numerous complexities and problems that we, as a nation, need to fix.
I agree, we should believe in bottom to top change rather than dreaming about trickle down change. We should bring changes rather than waiting for changes to happen on their own, ideally brought by our leaders such as Imran Khan.
