LEADERSHIP CRISES IN PAKISTAN

WHEN WE SEE THE HISTORY OF PAKISTAN A FEW FACES APPEAR ON OUR POLITICAL CHESS BOARD.MUSLIM LEAGUE HAD HER ROOTS IN COMBINED INDIA,THEREFORE,SOME GOOD POLITICAL LEADERS EMERGED ON THE POLITICAL SCENARIO.UNFORTUNATELY SOME OF THEM CREATED A SITUATION THAT WELCOMED GENERAL AYUB KHAN TO IMPOSE MARTIAL LAW IN 1958.AYUB KHAN WAS SURROUNDED BY A ''TOLLA''OF HYPOS, THEREFORE,HE TOOK WRONG DECISIONS LEADING TO TAKE OVER BY GENERAL YAHYA KHAN.YAHYA KHAN WAS MISGUIDED BY AMBITIOUS Z. A. BHUTTO, AND CREATED A SITUATION IN EAST PAKISTAN THAT LED TO THE DEBACLE OF 1971.BHUTTO TOOK OVER THE REMAINING PART OF PAKISTAN. HE BEING A CIVILIAN MARTIAL LAW ADMINISTRATOR USED HIS POLITICAL & MILITARY RESOURCES AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF PAKISTAN.THE OPPOSITION INVITED GENERAL ZIA UL HAQ AND HIS TAKE OVER LED TO JUDICIAL MURDER OF Z. A. BHUTTO. NO DOUBT MR BHUTTO WAS A GENIUS BUT FINALLY HE PROVED TO BE AN EVIL GENIUS.ZIA UL HAQ WAS SUMMONED BY GOD ALOG WITH HIS UNIFORM.THE SOCALLED DEMOCRATIC PERIOD AFTER ZIA UL HAQ IN WHICH BENAZIR BHUTTO AND NAWAZ SHARIF PLAYED HIDE & SEEK ENCOURAGED ESTABLIHMENT TO STAGE A ROLE FOR GENERAL PERVAIZ MUSHARAF.THE COMMON MAN IS NOW FED UP OF MUSHARAF BUT THERE IS NO HONEST ,SINCERE AND PROACTIVE LEADER ON THE POLITICAL SCENARIO.THE COMMON MAN DOES NOT WANT TO SEE THE CORRUPTIONS OF BENAZIR & NAWAZ AGAIN.THERE FORE ,WE CAN EASILY SAY THAT THERE IS LEADER SHIP CRISES IN PAKISTAN POLITICS.
