Election 2013 makes Pakistan a strong democracy, say lawyers

Sunday, May 26, 2013

LAHORE: Recent elections have turned Pakistan into one of the strong democratic countries of the world, curtailing the chances of military coups in the future and paving way for good governance, said a section of the legal fraternity. 

Former Vice Chairman of Punjab Bar Council and senior Advocate of Supreme Court of Pakistan, Muhammad Ramzan Chudhary said that democracy is going to strengthen further in Pakistan because of successful transition of a democratic government to another. “It now depends on the upcoming government of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz on how they work for democracy, if they solve the existing problems in Pakistan like load shading, unemployment and other public issues. If they do that then it would be a success for democracy,” he said.

Ramzan told Daily Times that Pakistan’s political and economic future was now the responsibility of PML-N, which has been elected with a large mandate. Former secretary of Lahore High Court Bar Association, Rana Asad-ullah said, “democracy will be more stable in Pakistan after general election and PML-N’s re-emergence.” He expressed the hope that Pakistan’s political and economic future would be bright. 

“Mian Nawaz Sharif is a very experienced politician and his party should solve the problems, failing which people could treat the PML-N the way they determined the fate of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) in these elections.”

He also suggested that the government and the judiciary should take serious action against General (retired) Pervez Musharraf.

Malik Amjad Pervez, a senior Advocate of Supreme Court also termed the election as a very positive step in strengthening democracy and a solution to the national problems. 

Senior Supreme court advocate Ch. Abdul Gaffar said “the people of Pakistan believe in democracy and they have also proved by showing their power and exercising their right to vote in the election with the highest ever voter turnout in the country.”
