Noisy graveyard

Pakistan, from the theocratic Objectives Resolution of 1949 to the infamous 21st Amendment, has been wandering aimlessly in the wilderness. Politicians have outsourced critical responsibilities of state to the Supreme Court and the army. Nobody is accepting their mistakes and failures of governance leading to disorder and decay.
While learning lessons from history is not part of our political experience, repetition of old mistakes has become a national pastime. Nobody has any idea of reforms in our outdated foreign policy, short-sighted counter-extremism and spineless anti-corruption measures. Where the present situation will lead to is anybody’s guess. Having let go of the political philosophy of Iqbal and Jinnah, we seem to be living in a chaotic cemetery.
