Pakistan
like many other countries in the world, has a history of political scandals that have plagued the country's political leadership for years. The end of ideological politics in the country has given way to political business mafiosos who now run political parties like business companies. The ideals of the people have been forgotten, and political wings have been sold in the middle market, enmeshing politics in conspiratorial chains. The country's political landscape has been dominated by political business companies that view politics as a complete investment rather than a bargain of heads and the eye of a leopard.
These companies have a four-day window for scandals to emerge, and over time, such scandals become part of public knowledge. People forget about such scandals and start trusting political leaders again. The politics of scandals in the country is essentially a war of political leaders against each other, where one has to show contempt for the other. Due to such scandals, political leaderships break records of accusations against opposition leaders to prove themselves as oppressed and loyal to the people. Scandals such as the Mehran Bank Scandal in 1990, Swiss Scandal in 1998, Rental Power Case in 2008, Hajj Scandal Case in 2010, and many such scandals have become the subject of media and then disappeared again. Today's political parties, who have become allies on the issues of two important scandals against the People's Party, "Memo Gate" and "Swiss Case," were at the forefront of making serious accusations against each other.
Meyan Nawaz Sharif, sitting in London, even knocked the doors of the courts against the People's Party. The same Mian accused Asif Zardari of corruption during his government period or after the Swiss case and wrote a letter to the Swiss government for further investigation against him. Politics has become a game of power for the political business class. They have turned politics into a business, where behind every business profit in the country is the political leadership. Until now, Imran Khan, the current Prime Minister of Pakistan, has not stood on any one point of view in practical political struggles. As much as he is an expert in making statements, he also knows how to get rid of them. Imran Khan is not a revolutionary leader for the people of this country, nor is he the Gandhi of this country. He is not even Nehru and Bhutto, who could bring dreams of public prosperity even behind bars. He is just another political leader, like all the other politicians of this country, presented wearing artificial masks. The political landscape of Pakistan is dominated by the business political class. Politics is an orphan because it is under the influence of this class. The only way to get rid of it is the rise of political consciousness in the lower class. When the lower class correctly assesses their continuous looting and understands that the forces occupying politics are basically enemies of the people, only then can we see the possibilities of social and political change in this country.
It is clear that Pakistan's political landscape is facing significant challenges, particularly in terms of the corrupt practices of political leaders and parties. The focus on scandals and power games has led to a neglect of the people's needs and the ideals of democracy. The dominance of the political business class has turned politics into a profit-making enterprise, and this has caused great harm to the country's social and political fabric. The need of the hour is a heightened political consciousness among the lower class to recognize the forces that are looting them and to push for social and political change in the country. Only then can Pakistan hope to build a more just and democratic society that truly serves the needs of its people.
In conclusion, the political landscape of Pakistan has been plagued by scandals and political business mafiosos who view politics as a business. Political parties have forgotten the ideals of the people and have turned politics into a game of power. Imran Khan, the current Prime Minister of Pakistan, is just another political leader, like all the other politicians of this country, presented wearing artificial masks. The only way to get rid of the influence of the business political class is the rise of political consciousness in the lower class. When the lower class correctly assesses their continuous looting and understands that the forces occupying politics are basically enemies of the people, only then can we see the possibilities of social and political change in this country.
