In the absence of a foreign minister, our prime minister has little time to focus on domestic issues. He is often seen conducting foreign tours but has no time even to visit the people struck by the recent heatwave tragedy in Karachi.
On the other hand the COAS is doing a commendable job by fighting terrorism and crime in the country. However, the army is facing constitutional constraints in pursuing criminals. This is largely because we have provincial governments that are seemingly not capable of fulfilling their constitutional duties and lack political will to provide justice and maintain law and order. What do we do in such a situation?
