LONDON: Pakistan's High Commissioner in United Kindom Wajid Shamsul Hasan, in an article, condemned the analysts drawing parallel between situation in Middle East and Pakistan.
As compared to the situation in Middle East, he said, Pakistan is way ahead in political developments due to long struggle waged by the political forces in Pakistan against military dictators during last decade.
The role of media and civil society proved to be more democratic in developing national consensus on keeping armed forces away from politics. The unanimous adoption of 18th and 19th amendments in constitution and National Finance Commission Awards are examples of national political maturity. What we need is evolution which may be slow but provides stability to the political system and inculcates a sense of belonging in the wider sections of the society. Fortunately, Pakistani society is blessed with all those ingredients which are necessary for a durable evolutionary process. We have an independent judiciary, a ferociously free media and a vibrant civil society – all kept together by a sovereign Parliament. Our political parties are gaining maturity with a view to sustaining the present political order for stability and progress in the country. So let us build on the evolutionary spirit and make Pakistan a stable, moderate and progressive country. Pakistani High Commissioner gave many reasons of being ambitious for the future of Pakistan.
