The Political Agitation & Economic Depression In Pakistan

Uncertainty is one of the elements that make even probability of success or failure in anything. Pakistan is about to celebrate 68th year of independence still after years of freedom it is full with surprises & rich in uncertainty. At the time of independence, it was supposed to be welfare Islamic state, but after years of independence, if we look at the overall situation of major sectors like power, employment, security, food, education, agriculture, economy supposed to be backbone of country are suffering from severe crisis.

If we lookout for the core factor worsening the situation of almost all the sector is ‘Politics’. In terms of definition politics is the composition of activities & practices of the people of state for the acquisition of power and government affairs, but the culture of Pakistani politics tells different story. After the elections of 2013, the political tug of war between two status quo parties shattered rest of the economic stability left after the destruction of terrorism. One to one tension between Pakistan political parties comes both at national as well as provincial level, which are as follows:

  1. Pakistan PTI accused another political group PML-N for alleged rigging both at federal and provincial level. 
  2. The settled and unsettled matters between PPPP & MQM for Sindh’s devolution of power.
  3. Political tension between ANP and MQM for the manifestation of power.

Country had situations after the announcement of protest by PTI:

  • It was due to proclamation before the start of protest, the Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) closed on 666.24 down points. 
  • UN Human Development Report 2014 revealed that Pakistan has 146th among meager income countries, this situation would have been more after violence.
  • Last year, Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI) released poverty survey, which mentioned that 58.7 million people are living their life under the menace of multidimensional poverty among which 46 % are rural and 18% are urban, certainly, after nonviable economic situation, indicators were not in good position. 

When political situation of the country got unstable after the start of protest, revival & continuity of economic policies became uncertain. Consequently, it reduced the investment and productivity in the economy. As political instability further increased after violence in protest, it grew unrest in the form of strikes and demonstrations at public level that ceased the economic growth routine of firms & markets. By the persistence of bad political situation, prices of fuel got height that also increased the prices of consumable items of daily use by decreasing the purchase power of common person. Such situation also boosted inflationary rate, unemployment, civil disobedience, national harmony and many other problems.

Suggestively, political leaders are the asset of homeland, so it makes them responsible about critical condition. When a political circumstance of the country goes worse, then economic condition gets a shape seen last eight years, along with nation that is in state of war since eleven years to combat the menace of terrorism.

After all this, elections for local government, by-elections and results on election dispute are pending from Supreme Court of Pakistan. Fluctuations in the electoral temperature also oscillates the economical condition of country, in such situations, political parties should play a responsible role to protect economy from down phases.

Incompatibility of Economical & Political Situations In Pakistan

Pakistan (a claiming welfare state) got independence from British colonial India in 1947, due to visionary leadership of Mr. Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Since its birth, the annual economic growth rate of country averaged around five percent. As far as politics is concerned, there are two scenarios i.e. internal and external, but since two decades, external factor laid deep impact over the economy, to certain extent shattered as well.

External Factors:
The bounds of external factor affecting the social, political and economic culture are as follows:

Disagreements between Pakistan & India: 
Pakistan neighbors shares his Eastern border with India, due to uneven distribution of resources of common homelands raised several conflicts and contentions among which Kashmir is the prominent one. The two nations have fought four major wars & several minors, such unrest in the geostrategic level politics has never let economy towards prosperity.

Instability of Afghanistan:
Whether it is USSR or USA, the invasion of Afghanistan massively affected nearly all classifications of motherland specially KPK province that neighbors western border with Afghanistan in various aspects. Since the American presence in Afghanistan, the political situation of Pakistan has turned 360 degrees, as it raised not only security as well as existential threat for the homeland. Although Pakistan also served as an ally of USA during invasion by providing major logistic support but Pakistan has always complained for insufficient payback for the devastation that stepped in the country.

Internal Factors:
Apart from externals, there are some internals issues that suffered Pakistan from economical unrest are as follows:

 Religious & Ethnic Disturbance:
Although religious, sectarian & ethnic turbulence somehow linked to external factors, but it is one of the disturbing factors endangering the social, cultural, civilization norms of Pakistan. Due to increase in to no. of such incidents, majority of Pakistanis believe that they are headed by some external forces, which could not tolerate prosperity of nation, specially after the several violence incidents in Baluchistan and Karachi.

Political Instability:
If we observe the history of country, the way political instability affected nothing influenced in that manner. The worst scenarios witnessed in recent years like assassination of Benazir Bhutto, long-march of Nawaz Sharif for the restoration of Judiciary, long-march of Imran Khan against unfair elections, & tug of war between PPPP and MQM in Karachi suffered economy of Pakistan in each situation. Although, political instability raises question over the performance of Supreme Court, security agencies & election procedure in Pakistan, it could be resolved by Mutual Corporation of all the stakeholders rather than depending upon one.

Summing-up, we can’t neglect any of the above factors. There also some other factors that affect the economical as well as political situation of country but the impression of above mentioned issues are grave than other issues which couldn’t be discussed due to space and time.

Know your political candidate


know your political candidate
Know your political candidate

In democratic state, citizens cast their vote on the origin of political beliefs, mutual interests and policies of political parties. However, currently where we live, vote is casted on the basis of self-interests, caste system, language, customs, traditions, sectarian relationship and local alliance. In such circumstances the voter is not fully aware of the candidate he or she is voting for.

In some scenarios it has also been observed that we vote on the basis of the personality or in other words likeness of the candidate without even knowing the silhouette of the political party or of the candidate. We have been teaches as not to judge by the appearance but usually we do so.

Even if political parties issue their political policies or you can say their manifesto earlier to elections, nevertheless, such policies continue to be sheltered and even not read by their own candidates, the citizens’ access to policies is the far-flung question.

The candidates give their information to Election Commission of Pakistan that is also kept hidden from citizens. As the consequence, an election passes the parliament holding intermingling of several connections, interests, and ambitions. Due to this, governments formed on alliance of political parties and some interest groups usually fail to convey the mutual public interests in achieving their vested interests and goals. In disenchantment, the citizens imagine governments’ failure as malfunction of democracy and start blameworthiness on democracy as flawed and unsuccessful system.
The time demands that the nation should now get aware with the association of elections with the democracy and Good Governance. An election that is held in veracity brings forward a true government that is elected by the people with the help of their informed decisions.


An informed verdict is when voters know their political parties and candidates of their preference, their previous acts, their policies, and their sincerity of being a good parliamentarian, their social and economic profiles. Such government formed on citizens’ informed decision will deliver good governance according to people aspirations. So what matters is that we should know our political candidate fully.

Presidential Elections

Presidential Elections


In Pakistan, Second agenda of the 1973 Constitution of Pakistan endow for election to president of Pakistan. According to which, before one month to cessation of president term, it is the duty of the ECP (Election Commission of Pakistan) to hold and perform election for the President and CEC (Chief Election Commissioner) shall be the Returning Officer for such election. Likewise, ECP assign Presiding Officers to supervise at the meeting of the affiliates of Parliament and at the convention of the associates of the Provincial Assemblies.

The CEC by open announcement fixes the venue for submission of nomination papers, holding an inquiry, making abandonment, if any, and holding the poll, if obligatory. Any affiliate of the Parliament or of a Provincial Assembly may propose an individual entitled for election as President, by conveying to the Presiding Officer a nomination paper, signed by himself as proposer and by another component of the Parliament or, as the case may be Assembly as secondary, mutually with a declaration signed by the individual nominated that he assent to the nomination.

After inspection, CEC announces, by open announcement, the names of the individual genuinely nominated, to be hereinafter called the candidate(s). According to the constitution of Pakistan, Article 41, President’s Electoral College consists of members of both Houses i.e. Senate and National Assembly and constituent of Provincial Assemblies. The particular Presiding Officers perform the poll at the congregation of Parliament and of each Provincial Assembly. The poll is held by secret ballot listing the names of all the candidates in alphabetical order. An individual place his votes by marking against the candidate for whom he/she wishes to vote.

later than, CEC find out the end result of the election in the following manner, namely:

(a)   the number of votes cast in the Parliament in errand of each candidate shall be counted;

(b)   the number of votes cast in a Provincial Assembly in errand of each candidate shall be multiplied by the total number of seats in the Provincial Assembly for the time being having the smallest number of seats and divided by the total number of seats in the Provincial Assembly in which the votes have been cast; and the vote is counted by following formula:
 (No. of Votes obtained by candidate in PA × lowest No. in PAs (65 being lowest))/Total members of relevant provincial Assembly

In this formula, each province has an equal share of vote in President’s Electoral College. That shows that the each constituent of the Punjab Assembly has 65/371 = 0.175 votes, each member of the Sindh Assembly has 65/168 = 0.387 votes, each member of the NWFP Assembly has 65/124 = 0.524 votes and each member of the Baluchistan Assembly has 65/65 = 1 vote.

(c)  the number of votes calculated in the manner referred to in clause (b) shall be added to the number of votes counted under clause (a).The candidate who has obtained the largest number of votes compiled in the manner specified above is declared by the CEC to be elected.

E-Voting in Pakistan

E-Voting in Pakistan
E-Voting in Pakistan


Electronic voting is usually seen as a means for making the electoral process more resourceful. E-voting solutions can amplify the safety of the ballot; boost up the dispensation of results and make voting easier.

Types of E-Voting:

Direct Recording Electronics (DRE) E-voting which is actually administrated by representatives of governmental or independent electoral establishment e.g. electronic voting machines located at polling stations. Distant e-Voting voting is performed within the voter's solitary power, and is not physically administrated by governmental authorities e.g. voting from one's PC, cell phone, TV via the internet (also called e-voting or Remote E-Voting)

Restricted Environments Seen as the electronic corresponding of customary paper-based voting in polling stations, Unrestricted Environments occurs without any direction and from voting devices that cannot be restricted by the election administration.

Strengths of E-Voting

  • Quicker vote calculation and indexing
  • More precise results as miscalculation is debarred
  • Proficient management of knotty electoral systems
  • Enhanced appearance of difficult ballot papers
  • Better handiness for voters
  • Automatic increased contribution and churn out
  • Additional accustomed to the needs of a gradually more itinerant society
  • Frauds in polling stations, transmission and tabulation are prevented as the human interaction is reduced to maximum level
  • Augmented convenience
  • Chance of different language user interfaces that can provide a different language electorate improved than paper ballots
  • Possible durable cost investments through savings in poll worker time

Weaknesses of E-Voting

  • Requisite of lucidity
  • Restricted sincerity and accepting of the system for non-experienced
  • Need to have settled principles for e-voting systems
  • Probable contravention of the confidentiality of the vote
  • Enlarged communications and ecological rations
  • Augmented safety rations for defending the voting system in Pakistan
  • Compact echelon of run by the election administration
  • Partial narrate promises
  • Incomplete hold up for immobilize voters
  • Requirement for additional voter education movement
  • Likely variance with the accessible legal framework

Future in Pakistan

  • Facing a concern of having genuine democracy
  • Pakistan’s initial step towards e-voting is to substantiate the voters
  • ECP done door to door verification
  • World’s largest voter confirmation is initiated through SMS



EVM Solutions

  • The organism aims at ensuring lucidity and bogus elections
  • Electronic thumb confirmation of each voter shall be done at the own polling station EVM Structure
  • Voter recognition Unit
  • Vote Casting Unit
  • Result Management Unit

Weaknesses that Pakistan not overcome

  • Need of simplicity
  • Need to have settled principles for e-voting systems
  • No Paper review trace
  • Reduced level of control by the election administration because of high vendor- and/or technology-dependence
  • Omitted hold up for disable voters
  • Need for extra voter education movement possible conflict with the existing legal framework
By working on weaknesses I am sure that E-voting will help in removing corruption in elections, As we saw the biggest bogus General Elections in 2013

Election Campaign of PPP


Pakistan Peoples Party was established in 1968 with the slogan “Roti, Kapra aur Makan”. PPP is the party where we’ve seen two most veterans leaders martyred i.e. Z.A Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto. After Benazir’s death, Asif Ali Zardari and Billawal Zardari took the control of the party where it is said that Bilawal will become the next PM, but he was too young for that and the Constitution of Pakistan doesn't allow any person less than 25 years to be enrolled for the election seat.

PPP come as the victor part in 2008 elections and after having their rule for 5 years which was full of devastation, the public refused them. But there is still a major part of Pakistan following PPP i.e. Sindh, where only rule is of either PPP or MQM.

Therefore PPP got vote from there and as a result of this they standout on the second position in the election of Pakistan. PPP also declare the current election to be bogus but they did not stand out with Imran Khan in his protest against the bogus elections.

Election Campaign of PTI 2013


Pakistan is a democratic social part that is led by the cricketer turned politician Imran khan. PTI is very old party but it was not in that much politics. History of Pakistan has shown us that we’re ruled by same parties over and over again. PTI also did take the time to develop and before lections it become very famous and renowned politician starts to join this party leaving their high profile parties. Like Shah Mehmood Qureshi who was in PPP, he left PPP and join PTI, likewise Javed Hashmi who belongs to PML-N, before elections he also left PML-N and there are many more that left their parties to join PTI. That increases the PR of the PTI before elections and the campaign they conducted were followed by huge number of crowds. The crowd mostly includes the young generation and Imran Khan was leading them.

Imran Khan also decided to have inter-party elections where renowned politician were beaten by the inter-party members. Like Arif Alvi was beaten by Pervez Khattak and Ejaz Chaudhry won against Ahsan Rasheed.

PTI slogan was the “New Pakistan”, with the aim to remove all of the corruption in the society and giving better resources to every civilian. He also point out the family bounded companies politics.
PTI also campaigned on social media where young generation was following him by heart. The other important points of PTI campaign were following:

  • War on Terrorism
  • Control Private School Fees
  • Structuring the Quality of Education
  • End Corruption

The hurdles that were face by PTI during elections that Imran fell from 14 ft as he was stepping up on the forklift, the forklift got misbalanced injuring all of the persons that were on that forklift. Imran Khan was badly injured in that incident having two fractures in his spinal column. But PTI handled that too very smartly by having video campaigns of Imran so the generation felt connected with Imran although he was not present with them.

After Elections, PTI standout on the third position. Imran continuously insisted upon the rigging in elections to which the new government didn’t pay attention and forcibly he then conducted protest in different cities across Pakistan but that was also of no use.

Election Campaign of PML-N

Campaign of Election 2013

After the announcement of dissolution of Government and the care-taker Government come in charge, the political parties in Pakistan come in excitement and began to enthuse public. The parties that were in form during election campaigns were PML-N, PTI and PPP. The parties started campaigns before six weeks of elections. The election campaigns were difficult to handle as there was already power shortage in Pakistan.
In this session I am only discussing the campaign of PML-N, however in next session other political parties campaign will also be entertained.

PML-N Campaign

Pakistan Muslim League started its campaign with the motive by lapsing the issue of power crisis, moreover they also emphasis to resolve the issues regarding security, economic development, education, tax and immigration.
Nawaz Sharif led the campaign, who promised to the youth about increasing their chances for being employed from private sector and will help them in opening their businesses. Nawaz Sharif also put emphasis on following points:
  • Preservation of environment
  • Motorways construction
  • Terrorism
  • Advancing the public transport
  • Economic liberalization


PML-N gain majority votes by the publication of the program named as “Education and Economic boom”, which received huge number of public support from Punjab and from the business community in KHI.

On May 2013, Nawaz sharif declares his victory by giving a speech and become the PM for the third time in the historyof Pakistan after receiving votes from the Parliament. The votes that were given to him in Parliament were 244 out of 342 seats.

Speaking to the broadcasting media he promised the nation that he will soon resolve the issues regarding power, inflation, terrorism and national security so to recover the economic situation of Pakistan.

Election Rigging

Rigging in elections

2013 General elections were held on 11th of May for the appointment of the 14th National assembly and the 4 provincial assemblies of the provinces. The procedure for election was conducted in all provinces and in Islamabad that is the Federal Capital territory. The two territories of Pakistan which are Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Blatistan couldn't participate due to their dubious conditions.

The elections were conducted in 272 constituencies out of which 70 seats were reserved to the women belonging parties and the parties from minority group.

General elections in Pakistan have been blemished by claiming of rigging along with the interference of the officialdom. ECP (Election Commission of Pakistan) that is responsible for conducting elections procedure in Pakistan admitted the claims of rigging and the convicted persons on that account were Returning officers according to the ECP.

On 26th of September ECP was supposed to declare a “disowning” report instead of it declare the map to follow the electoral reorganization. The statements pass by ECP and the present government doesn't match as the government says that the elections in 2013 were the most free and fare elections in the history of Pakistan.

The secretary of EC resigned on the statement that the elections had the most historic rigging in the history of Pakistan that has never been done before.

In the report published by ECP they admitted the rigging and blame the institutes like NADRA, FBR and the State Bank for not cooperating, the returning officer had so much power that he was not liable over the electoral process and the papers of nominations were not properly examine. The report also mentioned the failure of the program “Results Management System” that was organized by the UN Development Program.

The elections soon seem controversial when the chief election commissioner instantly declared the failure of free and fair polls in KHI, which is the largest city in Pakistan having a population of 20 million. The irregularities in the election occurred by not having a record of 139 constituencies. The chief election commissioner claimed that there was extreme intrusion of judiciary. According to the largest media groups of Pakistan Jung and Geo, PML (N) emerged as the Pakistan largest political party followed by PPP and PTI. Although the claims of Jung and Geo confirmed that only 18 % votes were counted.

PTI continuously insisted to have thumb verification in four constituencies the request was rejected by the PML (N), and that make the role of the PML (N) dubious in the elections. Hence PTI conduct rallies for that, which was joined by the PML (Q) and MWM Shia minority.


Other political parties in Pakistan didn't join the march of PTI but they did complain about not having fair elections and also demanded the resignation of election commission members.

Voters Training Guide


 Voters Training Program
Voters Training program
Current situation demands to understand the necessity to ponder the opinion of voters on the point of re-establishment of democracy. For achieving this goal several attempts have been made which includes stating the awareness to vote, providing training & technical knowledge and the cooperation with voters, elected representatives, political parties and the media.

First of all, current circumstances of our country need a responsive leader to hold our country and help the country to move in the pace of melioration. We know that we’re falling behind because our leaders didn't performed their role at all and that is the reason why we’re so behind when all of the countries are living their life with full necessities we’re the one who are stuck in the lines of CNG and Petrol, we are trapped in the load shedding of electricity and Gas. We cannot get out of this until we fully understand our duties and responsibilities. For this a person should be fully aware of the importance and value of his or her vote and that is the reason why voters training programs have been initiated in Pakistan.

For having democracy it requires up to date voters list and full involvement of voters in election procedure plus to cast their vote without any pressure, threats and bullying. Thus voters shall be educated in view of that.

Voters education instigate from recruitment of enlisting their names in the voting list so to cast votes in polling station.
As to install a responsible government voters are required to participate in majority involving every member of their family, friends and neighbors who is not less than 18 years to help bringing the change in the society.

As to make democratic role moving forward to work in an efficient way, responsibilities of elected members and the performance of lawmaking assembly and voters right shall be revealed.
For the creation of democratic environment, congregation between the voters and the political candidates of the national, provincial and local bodies’ government shall be set to make them get to know each other, so they can see each other traits.

For all of this advertisement shall be published in order to familiarize public with this concept and making them aware through that. For this the publications shall be made in Urdu, English and other regional languages that are commonly spoken at that region. Advertisements shall be made also on electronic and print media so that every Pakistani gets aware of this theory. Surveys shall be held in all of the countries especially in urban areas to familiarize them and make them responsible as they cover greater part of our society.

Election is a vital part of the democratic society and that demands pure elections which are without any partiality and rigging. The result of the elections depends upon the polling staff, the political parties’ workers and the voters to know the rules and regulations of the election process.

To establish pure voting system in Pakistan we need to train the polling staff, party workers and voters. The training program includes the enlistment of voters, sustaining and modernizing electoral list, before election irregularities, duties of polling staff, the responsibilities of judiciary, the job of law enforcing organization, the privileges of voters and polling staff, the selection of a proficient candidate , the responsibilities of the political workers, the counting of vote, tabularization of the results and its declaration.

A guide shall be prepared for polling staff for their training that is very important. The training programs of voters shall be telecasted on electronic and print media. The procedure of grounding and allotment of training material shall be computerized through a network countrywide.

For invigilation, proper monitoring through electronic devices shall be done, so to check any rigging in elections. The voters should be guided through the process and issues related to the elections through electronic and print media.

After effects of Election 2013


Pakistan election 2013 results to be in favor of PML (N) according to the Election Commission of Pakistan as they occupied 189 seats, whereas PPP acquired 45 and PTI 33 seats.

After the elections were held Imran khan the chairmen of PTI declared elections to be bogus by showing numerous evidences relating numerous NA’s. On this account he held protest in different cities around the country claiming to re-hold the elections. The protest grew bigger and bigger thus the supreme court of justice approves to retake the elections in few NA’s, but that doesn't satisfy Imran khan who continuously argues to retake the fair elections by having electronic voting system in Pakistan so that no one can argue that the elections are not fair. Thus he held a long march from Lahore to Islamabad adjoining great amount of PTI followers.

PAT on the other hand also decided to join the long march on the killing of innocent people by the hand of police of Punjab.
The protest continues not only for days but for months having several agendas by both parties. The deadlines, meetings with the government correspondent, the collisions among party’s followers and police, the resignations of the MNA’s of PTI, the betrayal within the parties became the headlines of the news for months and months.

Not all of the demands of both parties were accepted like the FIR of the PAT was conducting judicial trail, the elections were also retaken by the government in few NA’s but that doesn't satisfied both parties leader results in  continuing the protest.

Thus suddenly by having no longer response from the government and day by day increasing difficulties in continuing the protest PAT decided to end the protest whereas PTI continued it for months when a terrible day in Peshawar that is marked as the most darkest in the pages of history where terrorist attack in Army public school not for having hostages but to take revenge from the government  of Pakistan on having operation “ZARB-e-AZAB” in which army took the responsibility to clean the Pakistan’s land from terrorist. Thus the fire of revenge ruined the school along with the whole nation by brutally killing innocent 140+ children, Principal, Teachers and other staff members. The horrible incident not only left the affecting families in the grief but the whole nation felt grieved as well as horrified by the incident.


The whole nations thus stand together to fight against terrorism and bring it to an end so as the political parties and the protest of PTI comes to an end so fight the national cause.
