Killing corruption in Pakistan

Corruption has become one of main causes, why our country is not progressing today. Corruption has become a curse on us for not establishing an ideal Islamic democratic system in Pakistan.

Pakistani society has been merged into the corruption. Root causes of corruption in Pakistan can be detected easily.  its relatively easier to detect the causes, but extremely difficult to eradicate them. The main reason why Pakistan is merged into corruption is the absence of fundamental lack of justice . One of the reasons why Pakistan could not establish the ideal Islamic system, was because if this country could establish the ideal system for which it was born. Our society is facing a very  grave problem of corruption that has threatened basic foundations of society. This is one of the most serious problems which are not natural disaster. Corruption is the cancer that will spread all the socio-economic and political achievements.

The major reasons of fast creeping corruption are political instability, poverty unequal structure of society, unemployment, lack of accountability, weak political institutions and absence of role of law. Its undermines democracy, hinders in good governance and weakens the democratic institutions. Increase in corruption in any society is inversely proportional to good governance.

If these suggestion and practical meaures are taken, the chances of corrruptioncan be cured to reasonable extent. Institutions should be made strong for proper working of the democratic system. Proper system of accountability and check and balance should be implemented. Justice delayed is justice denied. In time justice can minimize corruption practices.

Salaries and wages should be increased in order to decrease the chances of corruption. Education system must be improved according to national needs. Stable governments are essential to prevail justice and to uproot corruption and public awareness must to eliminate corruption.

If Pakistan today wants to get rid of corruption, it must follow the true Islamic system of living. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) should be the role model and Islamic society should be the ideal society for us. Then the world will see Pakistan rising from the darkness into the light with support and blessings of the prophet and help of the Almighty Allah. Then we would not only reduce corruption but also reduce many similar evils from our society.

Quaid-i-Azam once said in the then Indian national assembly prior to partition that, “One of the biggest curses from which India is suffering – I do not say that other countries are free from it, but, I think, our condition is much worse, is bribery and corruption .If we could not follow Quaid’s instructions, than we would be bound to have the corrupt system for the next many generations.

In order to eliminate corruption from its roots, we must undo its causes. True Islamic system based on democracy should be implemented. There should be a political stability inside the country. Power politics should be put to an end.

Poverty should be reduced from our society. Job opportunities should be given to every citizen of Pakistan. Lastly, the common population of Pakistan who is suffering from corruption should stand united against the corruption. If we do so, then the day will not be far away when corruption will be wiped out from the entire country. But if we act in a same divided, depressed way, then the society will eat us all .
