Re: SECOND Pti minister disqualified for fake degree

Now I understand brother Saleem that you are looking at a Parliamentarian as a lawmaker, but before that, he is the representative of his constituency. Lets assume a perfect world with no corruption, and no degree requirement. You and me are the most qualified people in to represent our constituency that consist of a village , but you are more eligible as not only you have better reputation in the village, but you have generations upon generationa=s lived in that area, people love you more, and you have your family married into many families of that village, so half of the village is your rishtaydaar also. They know that between me and you, you will take care of their rights in more dedicated manner. Only problem is that you have no degree, while I am a BA.

Whom should you think represent the village as a MNA (or MPA)?

If I have best interest for my village, and I know that I am not as qualified as you, than I would urge villagers to choose you before me (not for just villagers, but as person living in that village, for my own interest too).

Just imagine, if villagers criteria to chose someone is their closeness to person and reputation unrelated to capability and efficiency, then what that person would be able to do for the villagers other than lose their interest to interest of village next door, who may have sent educated and capable representative. In the end, if parliament would be full of such uneducated representatives than they would not only harm interest of their own constituencies (or villages) but entire country.

Capability and shrewdness of representative makes lot of difference for people or person that representative represents. Just imagine, Jang-e-Siffin … and negotiation between representative of Ali (RA) and Amir Muawiya.

In history, many people lost their freedom because representatives they choose was not as capable and shrewd as the one chosen by their opponent. Today, many countries lose out in different ways. When Pakistan and India were negotiating Indus water agreement with each other, Pakistani representatives had less foresight compared to Indian, and today Pakistan is suffering because of that agreement.

Bhutto representing Pakistan in ‘Simla’ negotiating with Indra Gandhi, agreed to turn ‘ceasefire line’ into ‘line of control’ and gave India ‘Kargil heights’ on table, that caused heavy strategic loss to Pakistan, and because of that, Pakistan is paying even today. One result of Simla agreement was loss of Siachin and other loss is withdrawal of forces after capturing Kargil heights in 1999 as Pakistan agreed to recognize sanctity of ‘LOC’ in ‘Simla agreement’ hence world pressure to withdraw … but there was no sanctity for ‘ceasefire line’ and there could not have been world pressure to withdraw from any area Pakistan captures.

One reason UK succeeded in making India her colony was educational deficiency (or lack of world awareness) in Indian representatives of various Raj and Kingdoms, compared to British representatives.
