State of Law & Order in Pakistan

State of Law & Order in Pakistan
This is a national issue that must be addressed and dealt with at the highest levels but most importantly by the Parliament. The current crises that Pakistan is facing in poverty cannot be planned and implemented without having full control on law and order in every part of the  country. Pakistan as a nation needs to decide internally how it must be secured. We know that poverty & lack of appropriate education to our young generation would continue to further complicate and increase radicalism. National leaders of all parties must work together on this issue. Pakistan is no longer at the crossroad. Our security problems are extremely serious with the potential of low level insurgencies perhaps already in the making.  Here are some recommendations:
1) Continue to work on eradicating poverty and building educational facilities in high priority areas.
2) Increase budgets for all law enforcement personnel and totally revamp the police system including all facilities. This should include state of the art training, increase of the police force,  and substantial increase in salaries.
3) Establishment of State and regional Bureau of Investigation units to work hand in hand with the federal agencies.
4) Discourage use of force on fellow citizens but increase citizen to law enforcement communication channels.
5) Political bickering and infighting must be reduced in the interest of national security.
6) Pakistan’s armed forces must be part of all internal security policies.

SUMMARY
All national Leaders should stand together and address the nation.  Give the nation some confidence. Its about our Children, our elderly, and all of us
All national political and religious leaders must set aside their differences and agree on UNIFORM NATIONAL SECURITY GOALS irregardless of who comes into power. Such goals must be based on their commitment of protecting the Constitution of Pakistan.  Security for any nation in the west from Europe to United States has never been compromised by any leader. They have always been committed to protecting their national security.  There is no debate on this issue.  Breach of national security, insurgency, challenge of the Government’s writ are not issues that need debating. The means of handling such issues is a debate however that does require a joint strategy. We urge leaders to jointly develop clear strategy with close coordination with Pakistan’s Armed Forces and address the nation together.

How we handle our security problems in Pakistan is a decision that is being watched and covered by people and media around the globe.  Lets make a firm decisive decision and the entire nation must stand behind whatever decision the government takes.  The children of Pakistan deserve a peaceful future to prosper. Our leaders owe this to them. They will be held accountable for not taking Pakistan out of this crisis.  If we succeed ( and I truly believe that we will) then the leaders of today will always be considered as heros for the children of tomorrow.
