Preparations are underway for a referendum, with data to be collected from the Election Commission; after the referendum, a major constitutional conflict will be resolved by the Constitutional Court, says the journalist in his vlog.
Speaking in his vlog, he said those claiming that administrative units cannot be created would be proven wrong. He said preparations for the referendum were underway and that the Election Commission’s data would be compiled and the prime minister would be asked to present it before a joint session.
He added that after the referendum, the “masterstroke” would come, as conflicts between constitutional provisions would be resolved by the Constitutional Court. Meanwhile, former Federal minister Muhammad Ali Durrani said in an interview that the status quo was not an option for Pakistan and that transferring power to the people at the grassroots level had become inevitable.
He said the real issue was not merely the creation of new or smaller provinces, but giving the public genuine participation in power, resources and decision-making.
He said the country’s current system had been captured by a ruling elite that considered itself fully empowered, while the people’s practical share in governance was negligible.
Pakistan’s entire system has become a one-wheeled vehicle in which the rulers are included but the people are not an effective part of it. Muhammad Ali Durrani said that despite nearly 78 years having passed since Pakistan’s establishment, the country’s basic problems remained unchanged.
Roads, hospitals and a quality education system were not available at the required level, and approximately 25 million children were out of school. He said an elite capture had been established in Pakistan, comprising a class that inherited authority from the British era; the bureaucracy was also part of it, powerful institutions were components of the system, and the judiciary was included in it as needed.
He said the country’s current system had been captured by a ruling elite that considered itself fully empowered, while the people’s practical share in governance was negligible. People do not consider their existence secure under the current circumstances and want change, while the ruling elite is interested in preserving the existing system.
