THE CONSTITUTION

ISLAH PARTY OF PAKISTAN

IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, MOST GRACIOUS, MOST MERCIFUL

The Country is at the verge of bankruptcy. Economy has failed. Leaders of this country have lost their creditability. Crime and lawlessness has become out of control in most parts of the country. Sick Industrial units are everywhere and no one is ready for accepting their responsibility. Social structural institutions are near to their extinction. Morals are way down. National tax money and foreign loans are being used mostly in non-productive sectors and its major portion goes towards administrative costs rather than the actual use. The people are highly insecure and pushed up to a point where a great majority of our countrymen has lost their touch to distinguish between right from wrong. This has become a battleground for their very survival. Current political parties have no visible agenda. They have no answers as to how their plans are going to be implemented? What studies have been conducted on those issues in similar circumstances in the same Geo-political and economic background? No political party’s agenda addresses as to why, what, when, where and how their charters, if any, will be implemented and in what time frame? Our Country has become everyone’s experimental test ground. How can any country with living people afford the luxury to become a test site for those experiments, which are never tested anywhere else. Politics has become a dirty word. Opposition party’s loyalty towards the nation is discredited by all means by the persons in power. Irresponsible statements are flashed in the international media without consultation with experts and sometimes-indecent language is used in cheep politics to discredit the opponents instead of responsible, civilized and decent diplomatic responses. Statements on numbers are given without referring to their source of origin and proper homework. New jobs are virtually non-existent. Human dignity is undermined by discrimination in all phases of life. Our currency value is declining with an alarming rate. The Nation has lost their hope and now they are looking forward for a change. A change for peace, prosperity, personal & economic security to uplift their social structure in all phases of life. We Pakistani’s living abroad feel this pain, many times greater, because we start comparing as soon as we see better options in foreign lands and we also realize that we can repay our Nation by bring in, better ideas back home. We have been serving our nation with foreign exchange, good reputation and have emerged successful in every field wherever we have been put through, and now it is time to end games and start serving our people will healthy, decent politics equipped with internationally matching skills to counteract & interact in our own unique new world order. We will only make those commitments & promises, which can be kept and delivered. Prophet Mohammed PBUH will be our roll model and we will seek guidance from Allah to bless us and raise us amongst Nations to the top, and Glorify us once again as you Glorified us in the past, and let us serve our Nation, the way they deserve in this new time. We will Inshaallah come out victorious as a strong Nation by delivering education, peace, socio-economic strength according to our agenda with honor dignity and justice. Inshaallah.
