The countries with more than 90% literacy rate do not have any educational qualification requirements for members of parliament. The mentality of these ‘learned’ judges (Returning Officers) reflect our society and they are supposed to be highly educated (in Pakistani context).

If there are people like Raja Riaz are bad examples of uneducated politicians, we’ve had Oxford educated mega corrupt Prime Minister too. There is no correlation between education and political competency or between education and corruption. There is no need to take away the right of a vast majority of our population to work as representatives of people.

It should be up to the people to elect who they think represent them the best. If you believe that illiterate people are necessarily criminal and corrupt too, that’s a bit unfair to a huge population of Pakistan.

Cant you see that when all have eyes, they would not make law that those who lead should have eyes, as that happen by default. Requirement to have eyes happen when most are blinds. Blinds cannot rely on blind to lead, so they can make law that one who lead them should at least have one eye,

Same with literacy. Where 90 percent are literate, by default they chose those who are literate and there is no need to have educational qualification for leaders. But in a country where majority are angootha chaap illiterate they cannot allow their leaders to be also angootha-chaap illiterate monkeys who instead of giving them illuminated future could only give them dark future, as that is what they would be capable of. So, to have laws that leaders getting to parliament should be educated is required in country where most are angootha-chaap illiterates. One do not need PhD to understand that.
