No Season Is The Spring Season

The founders had to fight their political adversaries and rival powers in the United India and struggle on for years to create a free democratic state in the light of the dreams of 100 million Muslims who were behind them in Pakistan Movement. A country was to be added in the comity of the world nations for an honorable and prosperous, safe and peaceful life of its people, in accordance with the ideology going to be the base of its entire system as they had dreamed of and promised by their leadership. But the successors who were to hold this trust came up with nothing but only remissness. Gradually they laid it in the dust and left the nation in state of incessant thwart of hopes. The condition is as the poet had said:

Rawish Rawish Hai Wohi Intezar Ka Maosam,



National integrity, again and again, suffered shocks. The politicians had been and still are quashing popular aspirations. After getting extremely tired of the situation now it is dawning upon the people that they have nothing ahead except despair, fears and delusion. No better is waiting for them. After trying every party and group of the politicians the country seems to be pushed from wrong to wrong and from bad to the worst. The spirit of honestly serving the masses has been vanquished by the vested interests, which are the greatest motive behind the desire of gaining power. Corruption, nepotism and plunder have become the political culture and lies and seductive tricks are the ugly features of the rulers’ ethics. Again and again national interests and integrity have suffered shocks and now are little to be worried about.



Unfortunately we, the people of Pakistan, hardly have had any government coming up to the mark of ‘the government of the people and by the people and for the people’ as Abraham Lincoln had said defining the democracy so we continuously hanker after having a government desiring to make us happy by respecting our desires. An unfair oligarchy named the establishment with ruthless centralized despotism has always enjoyed the power of decision-making. Some particular families of selfish and opportunist politicians join hands with that kind of authoritative government milking off country’s resources. An ostentatious elite benefits from ingenuity of the rule under the shadow of civil and military bureaucracy, which generally has its hand in constituting the governments of their own choice. Recent fake degree and corruption cases show that either politics itself is the greatest green meadow of the brutish wishes or an umbrella multitudinously sheltering avaricious interests. No pang of conscience is shown on their immoralities and deficiencies.



The great exhortation extended to these morally vile elements is from media. They get their news aired and published with their pictures and have chances of self projection through their interviews and talk shows of different TV channels. Eminent educationists, renowned scholars, respected writers and perspicacious innovators remain unnoticed throughout their life but the one who enters political arena, despite of all his meanness and inferiorities, enjoys extraordinary publicity and social respect. Family of a deceased person feels proud if third class leader of any political party takes part in funeral prayer. Journalists, columnists and TV anchors happily, privately and sometime secretly go to dine or enjoy lunch with politicians in 5 star hotels and clubs. This has been a main factor giving a flourish to the vile in the politics and pushing the virtues to the wall.



Noble mindedness gets too discouraged to turn to the politics with some constructive and reformative programs. Professors, writers, poets and intellectuals who are supposed to be free thinking and leading minds and able to shower radiance of conscience on the masses, instead of getting organized in a focal institution, are either in shackles of government service or themselves have chosen for them to keep aloof from the national affairs and finding peace in an isolated life with only drawing room and free office time pinpricking remarks on the current issues, disgustingly expressing their grief:

Nahin Hae Koi Bhi Maosam Bahaar Ka Maosam
