This country has witnessed state institutions involved in facilitating the land mafia in illegal takeover of state-owned and private land, depriving citizens of their hard-earned asset. Can any public office holder justify holding their posts, if they cannot protect the land and life of citizens? It is time that all those holding constitutional public offices, both elected and paid, must submit to limits defined in the constitution and not try to misuse their powers.
Pakistan has suffered enough abuse at hands of tyrannical dictators a few elected prime minister. Now is the time to put our house in order. All public office holders must seek to protect fundamental rights of citizens, guaranteeing them equal opportunities. Recruitment should be done on merit, The government must invest state funds for collective welfare of all citizens. The blatant conflicts of interest of those holding public offices or employed by the state have driven Pakistan to a perpetual state of economic collapse.
