GETTING PAKISTAN OUT OF CRISIS

In the next few years Pakistanis need to make many significant choices otherwise international powers might dictate certain decisions as they see Pakistan as a failed state that exports “terrorists” and having nuclear weapons, has become a threat to world peace.
For Pakistanis to make sure that Pakistan not only survives but also grows and thrives by becoming a progressive and democratic state, they need to take serious steps. The gap between the rich and the poor should be decreased. The Pakistani Constitution has to become secular and humanistic so that all citizens, especially women and minorities have equal rights and the blasphemy law is abolished.
Pakistanis need to become aware of their own cultural traditions and Asian identity rather than primarily identifying with a Middle Eastern identity. All political parties and citizens need to make sure that army officers stay in the army barracks and not take over the parliament in the future.

For some people it might seem like a dream but all nations have to dream before the dream comes true. If Pakistanis did not fulfill that dream, I am afraid their dream might turn into a violent nightmare in the not so distant future.
