Our country Pakistan is facing a number of challenges and problems in almost every field. A nation whose majority is not loyal to Islam, humanity and law. It is effect of various factors that operated here for a long time. And the remaining is covered by corrupt politicians along with civil and military establishment.
People are now in a state of pessimism about almost whole current political leadership. Often i hear views which show that majority of people consider the lack of leadership as main problem and they think that without a real and bold leadership nothing could be made better.
In fact it is a misconception and is being planted by media intentionally or unintentionally. In near history we have experienced a very successful movement which is known as lawyers movement. This movement has very profound effects on politics and democratic system of country. Following are some of these effects
- CJ Pakistan along with other judges was reinstalled
- Played role in demolishing of Musharraf dictatorship
- Strengthened the democratic system
- Strengthened the supreme court for major decisions
These along with many other are the achievements and effects of lawyers movement. If we analyze the movement from its start, we have following important observations.
- Lawyers movement was not planned
- CJ was not a leader even not a well known public figure
- There were no campaigns to pull out the common people from their homes in to protests and gatherings
- No leaders were nominated, few determined lawyers came forward without and external influence
What we learn
This shows that leadership is not pre-requisite for any positive change. Leadership emerges automatically and it may be not well known to masses. So we should come out of dormancy and should believe that leadership would be there naturally whenever public would be mobilized.
