CURRENT ISSUES OF PAKISTAN
Islamic Republic of Pakistan was established in 1947, a country of 170 million
people, full of natural resources and more than 60 years of independence
but still not respected in the world community. In less than 30 years of
independence, it’s one wing gets separated (Bangladesh). Remaining part till
today is living on IMF, World Bank and foreign donations. Majority of the
population is living in rural areas without basic necessities of life. It is a
country where financial gap between rich and poor is widening day by day.
From the last 10 years, extremism is increasing. Whatever happens in the
world it is almost understood even before investigations that it will have a
link with Pakistan. Almost every kind of problem exists in Pakistan, including
electricity load-shedding, bad economy, less educational facilities, less
hospitals, inflation and no pure water in many parts. These problems exist in
Pakistan right from its independence which as mentioned above was more
than sixty years ago.
Despite it being rich on raw resources thus far Pakistan is a developing
country with limited development in every era due to the problems it faces.
In the following text we will shed some light on some of the major problems
faced today by Pakistan as a country.

POVERTY: According to an analysis conducted by the government of

Pakistan and published at HEC. Gov .pk(the higher education commission of
Pakistan) shows that the poverty has increased roughly from 30% to 40%
during the past decade. Consider that if 40%of a country’s population is
earning their life below the poverty-line in which the people are deprived of
basic necessities of life such as clothing, shelter, food, education and
medication, such families and their children will be forced to think of their
survival only.

ILLITERACY: Literacy is defined as persons aged 15 or above who can

“read” and “write”. According to this definition, Pakistanis officially reported

to have 50% literacy rate. Which means half of its population is illiterate. With
such family backgrounds, inflation, poverty and child labor this rate is
expected to increase in future. Even for those who are termed as “Literate”
are only able to read and write, which in today’s technology-oriented world
is still considered as illiteracy. Majority of the people forming the top
controlling tier is almost unaware of technologies and technical mindset.
Thus, causing the country to adopt the new technologies at a snail’s speed.

Energy Crisis: Electricity is the major Problem Pakistan facing today.

Electricity in Pakistan is generated, transmitted, distributed and retail
supplied by two vertically integrated public sector utilities: Water and Power
Development Authority (WAPDA) for all of Pakistan (except Karachi), and the
Karachi Electric Supply Corporation (KESC) for the City of Karachi and its
surrounding areas. There are around 16 independent power producers that
contributes significantly in electricity generation in Pakistan.

For years, the matter of balancing Pakistan’s supply against the demand for
electricity has remained a largely unresolved matter. Pakistan faces a
significant challenge in revamping its network responsible for the supply of
electricity.

Contrary to Pakistani government and expatriate claims, Pakistan suffers

from a massive electricity shortage. Electricity generation in Pakistan has
shrunk by 50% in recent years due to an overreliance on hydroelectric power.
In 2008, availability of power in Pakistan falls short of the population’s needs
by 15% Pakistan was hit by its worst power crisis in 2007, after the
assassination of Benazir Bhutto and the following riots. Production fell by
6000 Megawatts and massive blackouts followed suit. The blame was laid on
the then president, Pervez Musharraf, and was instrumental in his defeat.
Load Shedding (deliberate blackouts) and power blackouts have become
severe in Pakistan in recent years. The main problem with Pakistan’s poor

power generation is rising political instability, together with rising demands
for power and lack of efficiency.
Corruption and Political Instability : Pakistan is
suffering from a fatal problem known as “Establishment”. Every vital
department in Pakistan is controlled by the so called “Establishment”.
Establishment is a network of key positions in almost all the departments in
the country. This network provides support and safe backing to their “touts”
to ensure that they remain in control. The roots of this establishment may
very well be deep inside underworld and secret agencies of the dominating
nations.
It is interesting to note that due to the international interference and
manipulation the very same people that we label as corrupt just sometime
ago, blame and rebuke, come back to govern us after a couple of years again
and people welcome them with open arms. A common English saying goes
as “fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me”. This is
probably also the main reason why the political process in Pakistan is not let
to prosper. Soon after its inception the sincere and loyal politicians were
removed from the main stream and only dummy agents and rubber stamps
are put in place, while all the decisions are made outside the country.

INTERNATIONAL INTERFERENCE: India is typically termed as

a conventional enemy to Pakistan. As mentioned before the people of
Pakistan need to be trained to think positively about their surroundings. We
should learn a lesson from US and Canada’s cross border collaboration to
improve their affairs and provide backing, why can’t Pakistan and India enter
into such strengthening relationship?
Pakistan can never move forward with its proxy war politics with India and its
involvement in the so-called US War on terrorism. It has to strike peace with
India and other neighboring countries soon so that it can use its resources
for its own people’s welfare and focus on its collective objectives.

Pakistan has more potential to be a developed country earlier than India. It
has the resources and talent. yet it seems to sink lower by the day. India with
a billion plus population has a million problems to handle. Yet the focus of
India has been right and it shows in its 8% economic growth. Its time Pakistan
learns this lesson and corrects its focus.

Terrorism: Terrorism in Pakistan has become a major and highly

destructive phenomenon in recent years. The whole world looks at Pakistan,
as a land of terrorists. Main reason being an exploitation through the
religious leaders and reaction of the military operations both internally as
well as externally.
The post-9/11 War on Terrorism in Pakistan has had two principal elements:
the government’s battle with jihad groups banned after the attacks in New
York, and the U.S. pursuit of Al-Qaeda, usually (but not always) in co-
operation with Pakistani forces.
In 2004, the Pakistani army launched a pursuit of Al-Qaeda members in the
mountainous area of Waziristan on the Afghan border, although sceptics
question the sincerity of this pursuit. Clashes there erupted into a low-level
conflict with Islamic militants and local tribesmen, sparking the Waziristan
War. A short-lived truce known as the Waziristan accord was brokered in
September 2006, which indicated Pakistan’s reluctance to fight Islamic militia.
Terrorist attacks staged in Pakistan have killed over 35,000 people, 5,000 of
which are law enforcement personnel, and caused material damage to the
Pakistani economy totaling $67 billion.
Overpopulation, Inflation, Unemployment :According
to official news Pakistani has an estimated 2% growth rate which for a
country of official population of 160 Million turns out to be roughly
around3.2 Million every year. This alarming growth rate is causing immense
pressure on head of the families who are to support them.
Given that about 40% of the population is already living under poverty line
and 5.6% (official figures) of the population is unemployed, the ever growing

population of Pakistan is just adding to the problems of the already under
pressure nation.
Economy Crisis: In 1947, Pakistan had 30 million people with per
capita income of 100$. Agriculture accounted for almost 50% of economic
output with hardly any manufacturing, as all industries were located in India.
Therefore, it was unable to feed 30 million people and was dependent on PL-
480 imports from the USA. From thereon, Pakistan has come a long way.
Today with 170 million people, our per capita income in 2008 was 1000$
which was ten times more. Out of every hundred rupees of our national
income, we consume 85 rupees and save only 15 rupees, which means that
the amount of money which is available to invest for economic growth and
advancement is too little. Because to grow by 6%, you need at least 24-25%
investment rate. In 1990, Pakistan’s share was 0.2% of the world trade. After
20 years it has come down to 0.12% in a very buoyant world economy.
Health Issues: Pakistan is facing a health crisis with rising rates of
heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and other non-communicable diseases
(NCDs), which disproportionately affect poor families, with possible side
effects of disability and premature death, and worsening poverty as people
pay for medical treatment out of their own pockets.
The World Health Organization (WHO) reported 4 million cases of diarrhea,
pneumonia, malaria, and skin conditions that had largely resulted from the
flood conditions. Cholera outbreaks have also been reported from flood-
affected areas. From Oct. 15 to 22, WHO reported about 258,000
consultations for pneumonia, diarrhea, and suspected malaria. Furthermore,
dreaded diseases such as dengue and Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fevers
have been reported from the field, along with measles encephalitis and
neonatal tetanus
