Strengthening Democracy in Pakistan
Summary:
Pakistan’s democracy remains fragile due to weak institutions, dynastic politics, and a lack of democratic values. The country’s global democratic ranking has declined, reflecting electoral flaws and poor political culture. Strengthening democracy requires internal reforms within political parties, institutional empowerment, judicial independence, and the promotion of democratic values through Islamic teachings. A collective effort from political leaders, institutions, and citizens is necessary to uphold inclusivity, accountability, and the rule of law.
Key Points:
- Democratic Decline: Pakistan’s democracy ranking has dropped significantly.
- Flawed Political System: Dynastic politics and rigged elections weaken democracy.
- Institutional Weakness: Parliament and judiciary need urgent reforms.
- Judicial Independence: A strong, unbiased judiciary is essential for democracy.
- Islamic Governance Principles: Islamic teachings support consultation and accountability.
