obviously we can have a more active religious affairs department of government for providing spritituality. definately, i’d endorse this today.
into the future i dont rule out ulema to have my support to form a government, but i say this on hope that the ulema would not be mentally battle-scarred from previous dificulties. infact i dont expect ulema to be unfriendly and form their policies on a military-like antagonistic agenda. im not aiming to deny pakistan a defensive doctrine, as you all know ulema can do defensive doctrines, but we simply need a balanced leadership.
theres some very charismatic learned muslims out there, im pretty certain they can help pakistan from the position its in today. however, if pakistan was a develpoed nation and its priority was economics alone then perhaps the capalist systems would be first choice. during my adult life pakistan has never had a government that the people have overwhelmingly supported in its work. pakistan would gain from a leadership which wins the goodwill of the people. stopping the rot and setting a future of co-operation and civility
lets get more ulema into the public eye to see if they can offer pakistan something that its missing.
You know Pakistans problem is its people. After all, the leaders which we blame for our ills come from the segments of our society.
First and foremost, what are the political issues for which Ulema are required. Before bringing anyone on board their role needs clearly defined and the authority they will hold. Pakistans systems run by influence not authority.
