Technocrats or Electorates?


These discussions are circulating around the globe as well as in Pakistan at media and public forums, that is it a right choice by PM khan to replace elected representatives with technocrats for his cabinet?
Let’s examine this topic inside out. In the light of point of views of both sides. People from the opposition raising the questions like, isn’t it unfair to replace non elected people with the chosen ones by the common man of Pakistan?….Another question is being raised over the time from opposition especially Bilawal Bhutto Zardari- Co chairperson of PPP, towards treasury benches that, in the name of putting technocrats into power nepotism has been done by the “selected PM” as he pronounces him often. And the honor of vote of people of Pakistan is on question.
An opinion found in opposition parties that ministries should be lead by the elected representatives of people of Pakistan.
It is observed in some of the leading democracies of the world that, where it is presidential form of government the state is lead by the president where as most of the secretaries are usually technocrats.
There are also several arguments present in the defence of their narrative by the governmental authorities. According to them it’s not new in the world that Chief executive of one country has chosen technocrats in his cabinet. They say that many of the leading democracies have technocrats in their cabinets.
The opinion found in treasury benches, that their government will do everything that will be in the interest of the country. And it is in the interest of country to appoint officers that will work more efficiently. They justify their argument in many ways.
An opinion is also found that the elected representatives are not functional because they do not have sufficient amount knowledge according to their ministries. And the ministers often rely on secretaries and civil officers to make ministries functional. Which is extremely inefficient with respect to results. And they give many reasons for that. The foremost reason given by them is that the bureaucracy is engulfed by the corruption. Which leads ineffective role of government in the betterment of the state.
Yes, assemblies and the parliamentarians are the actual representatives of the public but anything in the interest of state could be done as far as it is not deviating from the constitution. It’s just a start for the “tabdeeli sarkar”. Lets see what changes time shows in this reign of “tabdeeli”.

Feminism: A movement to end sexism I don’t know why a lot of people are afraid of women’s and girls’ rights. So many people send me messages on messenger not to speak for (بے حیائی). Demanding equal rights for the oppressed women is not (بے حیائی). This is the fight against harassment. And dear men, harassment isn’t confined to work place only. Women & girls are even harassed in the so-called educational institutions by the educated misogynists. Can you identify an organisation, university, or any other social platform that ensures or provides safe environment to girls & women? The answer is surely No. The problem with a lot of people who call themselves so-called feminists is that they misunderstand the meaning of feminism. Feminism is the belief in social, economic and political equality of the sexes. In other words, feminism is a movement to end sexism. There are a lot of reasons of harassment that women go through. Among them, the primary one is the patriarchal society. A society where men are dominant. Patriarchy cannot be eradicated completely. However, we can struggle to fight for the rights of women by educating our youth. People ask for girls education. Girls are already pursuing education in different institutions. The problem is that they are repeatedly harassed by the nasty patriarchal mindsets that exist here. Unless we endeavour to end the system that prejudices people based on their sexes, we cannot think of a safe environment for our mothers & sisters at any type of work place. Remember, book reading plays a pivotal role in this regard. Majority of our youth are not truly sincere with themselves. Being a student of honors at Balochistan University Of Information Technology Engineering And Management Sciences (BUITEMS), I see a lot of youth in university sitting in different canteens, waisting their time being indulged in useless conversations with each other. Most of the students are concerned about marks. Getting a desired CGPA satisfy them. Majority of the students say that they just attend classes for the sake of passing time. However, there are very few ones who come to university with full enthusiasm and are truly sincere with their studies. They are the real ones who realise the importance of girls & women in this world. Apart from teaching text books, our teachers should also promote the importance of reading researched books. Teachers can play a significant role in promoting book reading culture. They can help our youth how to think critically, and how to take critical approache while reading something. Let’s not squander our time. Let’s struggle to ensure a better and safe environment to our sisters. Let’s struggle to fight for the rights of oppressed ones. Unless we the youth come out of our comfort zones and take the primary responsibility of educating each other through promoting the book reading culture, we cannot think of a better and prosperous society.
