Essay On Elections In Pakistan

Man has conquered time and space,But the Pakistan,are still hovering in the labyrinth of old traditions and outworn customs.Cast and Bradry system has blinded them and they are not able to see the larger interests of the country.

They do not know their rights and responsibilities.Nor do they realise the sanctity of vote.The selfish and power-hungry politicians take advantage of their simplicity,narrow-mindedness and unruly religious emotions.

They exploit and be-fool them.Sometimes,they try to overawe them.They make tall promises.Many unlettered and illiterate candidates make funny speeches.They promise to do such things within a week as cannot be done even within a century.The foolish and ignorant people bewitched by their tall talks start raising in favour of them.Big posters are handbills in which their candidate is presented as a paragon of all virtues and his opponent as an embodiment of all evils.

Corner meetings are also held in which speakers praise his wisdom,piety,kind-heartiness, love for religion, sympathy with the down-trodden and many other qualities that he does not possess.On the day election their excitement knows no bounds.Nearby the polling stations,Shamianas are installed.Voters are brought to the polling stations on cars,buses, Tongas and tractors.There is a great hustle and Bustle everywhere.

Sometimes voters are served with Zerda Pallow and ice drinks.Candidates with the dirty cobbler and the poor milkman assuring them that their victory will change the lot of people.
