Our nation of about 200 million has been waiting for a revolution to get rid of corrupt political system for almost the time Pakistan came into being. Now that efforts are being made by two forces, we should support them wholeheartedly.
People who believe change will happen gradually, are wrong. Instead of problems of people being tackled properly corruption is rampant. Situation in Pakistan is going backwards instead of improving. Leaders who are multi-billionaires are paying taxes in thousands of ruppees!
It will take (like any real revolution does) bloodshed to bring about real and concrete change. Else the status quo will prevail with no end and Pakistan will continue to go down.
Both Imran Khan and Dr. Tahir ul Qadri should join hands and come up with one united agenda and fight for it.
This agenda should be to change the political system to that of Presidential and devolution of provinces into division level. These both ideas go hand in hand as having simply Presidential system will not resolve all the issues we have.
I propose the following course of action for this revolution;
1. Firmly negotiate an amendment to constitution for conversion to Presidential system and further amendment for devolution of provinces to divisional level governments.
2. Keep the assemblies working and Nawaz Sharif as Prime Minister during this process (Maximum time limit of 8months to hammer out details).
3. After these constitutional amendments have been made, elections should take place under a care-taker government for President between Imran Khan, Dr. Qadri, Nawaz Shareef, whoever People’s Party nominates and others (since a limit cannot be set). Have a run off election if one individual does not attain a simple majority.
All parties involved should agree to and announce an agreement together on live TV transmission, so that the whole nation is the witness, then the dharnas should immediately be stopped.
