Sir I am not defending people in institutions. But for once, I did say, we could give them benefit of a doubt since we are not privy to their decision-making and we don`t know the factors they consider while framing a certain policy for certain times-they could be working in good faith.
Secondly, when I mentioned institution on this particular thread, I don`t mean the personnel. I refer to the organization with its rules, regulations and its purpose. For instance, state is an institution meant for the welfare and security of its citizens, but some of its people are exploitative. That`s the analogy that could perhaps clear my views. That is why I say institutions are good but people are exploiting it for personal gains.
Apart from this, Lord Acton was right when he said, "Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
Why?
They are the servants of the people - the second you start employment with a state institution yoi are on the payroll of the people of Pakistan.
My tax money for 5 years at some point and in some form may have paid for uniforms and guns. Hence they are fully answerable to me when I ask for it no matter what. The tax isn’t a fees to live in Pakistan it is a payment for services due that the state provides.
This includes everything from bureaucracy to law and order to security services. There is a reason why it is called services - you serve the people - provide a service for which you are answerable on the quality of your performance.
A Mobilink employee is answerable to mobilink customers - just as they are answerable to mobilink investors.
In this case, it seems the investors of Pakistan state have more control than the customers of Pakistan state.
1971 was when a dictator who falsified his oath of serving the people of Pakistan under the idea of “need to know” which you support lost half the country.
Kargil was our soliders coming back in blood laden helicopters landing in Chenab Golf course - I WAS THERE, I saw our men piled up and being dragged out to CMH Murree and the chopper flights would continue for hours.
All because 3 strategically inept generals saw their moment of glory and then ironically took over the country. They were accountable to us as much as those men but nothing came of it.
So please, get out of this slave mentality of “their is not to question why” and ask these people when their actions are brazenly destroying the country.
As a Pakistani citizen you have a right to know and question why there were 2 Landcruisers and a LX570 parked at FWO house along with 4 Pickups.
Why are the people of Pakistan such all season slaves? Head down and “Yes master”?
