Pakistan is bestowed with many opportunities to combat the hard times. All it requires is good governance to take the citizens through the difficulties of murky phase. It’s hard to invest the trust into the current government. It demands seriousness by the government to avail the opportunities and face the challenges in a strong manner.
Series of major problems such as security, law, order, militancy, extremism and terrorism situations have been lined up; kidnapping and fighting between our people and foreigners on Pakistani territory needs some settlement and government must resolve these issues. In order to meet the solutions of various problems, government introduced reconciliation policy to overcome solidarity issues in the country
Reconciliation policy proved to be of paramount importance as it was the need of the hour. We have been attacked several times by foreign forces. The country, being a vast cultural territory, has already been divided by the differences in language, appearance, living styles and thus affecting their thoughts. Since Pakistan has gone through turbulent phases time and again, several parts of the country remained deprived of basic facilities. Political instability has been a core reason for not having unity and harmony in the country.
Keeping in mind several grave problems the government came up with an absolute idea to cement the diffused mind-sets in the country. If there would be unity among the country, no foreign force will weaken the spirits. Sovereignty shall be protected, and the country will move on the road to success.
Pakistan’s political scenario has dynamically evolved in past many decades, due to improper governmental system the people have been distracted and failed to develop firm belief towards each other’s performances. Keeping an eagle eye on diffused and scattered opinion, Pakistan People’s Party came up with a solution to bind them all. Movements which were not only envisaged to bring peace and progress among the masses but also were envisioned to provide the opportunity to several political parties. Those parties provide their services for the greater good of the country, a healthy working environment, enlivening the enthusiasm, spirit and courage which were to be directly proportional to bringing unity and coordination.
The policy of reconciliation was thought to up lift mutual understanding for the progress of Pakistan. PPP continues to emboss the democratic values in the county. To date, it has let people and masses enjoy raising their voices and implementing welfare policies for the betterment of people’s lives. It was due to reconciliation policy that PML-N could form a government in Punjab.
MQM could be part of the governmental body in Sindh. Similarly, efforts were made - by the PPP - to lessen the claims of Baluchistan of being deprived of governmental heed towards its core problems. As a result, Baluchistan has always been given special attention by the PPP Government. Ever since independence the province of Baluchistan has been the victim of negligence, which in turn has provoked its people to develop a feeling of grief.
Meanwhile, foreign invaders started to play their cards to create agitation among the people. People’s Party with its “Baluchistan package” embedded a breeze to cement them with the rest of the provinces of Pakistan. The name given to the package is Aghaz-e-Huqooq-e-Balochistan (AHB) package; which was aimed bringing down the sense of alienation, grief and deprivation and to provide privilege to the people of Baluchistan with political, cultural and economic rights.
The package has 61 policy actions, and it has been implementing rapidly. Every individual, especially the youth, would be benefited, it would up lift the living standards and this encouragement will help people to grow out of the shells of ignorance and despondence. Mainly, the package would demolish trust deficit with the most wanted families Barhamdagh Bugti, Nawab of Kalat Suleman Dawood and Hairbiyar Marri with peace talks, and they can return to their families.
Increasing Baluchistan share in national resources is a true prove of functionality of reconciliation policy; which is bringing the mind gaps and building nation strong and united closer against all odds. This would eradicate the sense of deprivation and grief, sustain the integrity, and solidarity of the country.
President Zardari considers the policy of reconciliation in the “greater interest of the nation”, it should never be taken as the weakness of the party rather it should be seen with a broader vision to bind all together where all can help the drowning nation to touch new heights.
As the media role so far, it has not left any stone to pinch and needle PPP for any of its policy in past 3 years. It has been in the greater interest of media to pull the legs of PPP leaders, involve them in every possible deviant act. Although leaders aren’t perfect, but unfortunately, they have been gazed for everything they do or did. Media hasn’t been encouraging in wide spreading the policy of PPP. Rather it considered it to be PPP’s another manifesto.
All moves for the benefit of the country, bringing prosperity, creating sufficient consensus was portrayed in a negative manner. It not only shows that PPP isn’t in the good books of media but also shows that it might never even make it. Government who played a vital role in several key issues including freedom of media still remains foe to it. Several talk shows present the PPP’s agendas in not so happening manner.
On the other hand, print media has been criticizing it at greater length. It’s the responsibility of the media to take forward the policies and dialogues that can bring solutions to abundant problems. It’s undeniable how efforts are being done to cement all culturally distinct groups in Pakistan together.
Moreover, President’s visit to India will tighten the oars. Such cordial and brotherly relations will eventually help us focus more on education, health and freedom. We can fight against all odds inside the premises such as terrorism, load shedding, poverty corruption etc. But media’s watchdog spread its tentacles to grab all possible loop holes of the present government.
