Pakistan is a beautiful country. It is the land of the pure and the land of dreams, where each day the sun rises to mark a new beginning. Founded back on the 14th of August 1947, it is 65 years old. When Pakistan first came into being, many people said it would not survive. However, it is true that our forefathers faced several problems and had to make many sacrifices, but today, as the 21st century progresses, Pakistan has surely come over hurdles and made developments in many fields of life.
Pakistan is a country that possesses a store of talent; however the problem arises when it comes to using that talent, as for many years now, Pakistan has been facing serious issues that include terrorism. Terrorism has led to a rising death toll and destruction of homes, markets, businesses, etc. the constant blast of guns and bombs has instilled a fear in the hearts of the people.
One of the major problems that Pakistan is currently facing is the load shedding issue of electricity and gas. It has resulted in absolute chaos. Industries are collapsing, people are facing the evils of unemployment and there is general disorder in the country. Businesses are also facing closing issues. It has resulted in inflation as production of products is low and therefore it has increased demand rates where sufficient materials are not being provided. Load shedding is also causing a menace to the domestic sector as now we have to work by candlelight, generators, U.P.S etc. the studies of students are affected badly and something needs to be rapidly done to solve this problem.
It is very much possible that politicians and politics is the reason for this. In these modern times, it is hard to find people who are sincere to their country, and mostly politicians focus on gathering money for their means. As the sense of responsibility diminishes, the economy is speedily racing towards a failure. The currency rate is falling due to inflation and daily use products are running out of the reach of poor and middle class Pakistani citizens. However, in light of all things, the media remains independent and helps to portray the voice of the people and spread know-how and awareness about corruption amongst the masses.
Using simpler and more comprehensive terms, right now, Pakistan is facing major crisis. Its current situation is pitiable and it hurts to see the land that was won after so much struggle going down slowly in ashes. Pakistan can be saved however, not only if the government takes the responsibility to do it, but also if the common people grope the rays of hope, join hands and work together to play their own roles. The country that is today failing to make its mark can once again rise to soaring heights with our hard work, prayers and wishes. We need to stop thinking negatively about it and work towards the betterment of this nation. |
