We need a Magna Carta

The debate is very old, in developed countries, this conversation is no longer held, but in our country, every now and then, its noise is definitely raised. Educated, competent and sensible people, who have a correct stand on other issues of Pakistan without any bias, go off track in this matter and start talking in such a way that it becomes difficult to distinguish between them and Donald Trump. . Here's a sample tweet: "It is my very honest and considered opinion that democracy in Pakistan has very little chance of success because none of the people believe in it or at least in democratic principles." and unwilling to follow practices that are mostly imported from the West. The problems of Pakistan are grave and complex, the politicians of Pakistan are neither ready nor capable to solve these problems. In fact, we need a government of experts, Indonesia experienced this in 1966, paving the way for the eventual return of democracy after more than thirty years of this system. People can raise slogans as they like, but the fact remains that only three of the forty-eight Muslim-majority countries have some form of democracy. We have concrete reasons for the failure of democracy which we must face and not turn a blind eye like pigeons."

The person who tweeted this is a visionary and he speaks with reason on every economic and social issue which is usually difficult to refute, be it the energy crisis or the central bank's interest rate cut, increasing exports. On every issue, whether it's austerity or subsidies to the elite, their opinions are backed up by incontrovertible data, which makes it hard to disagree with them. However, in this important issue, they made the same basic mistake that most of our intellectual ladies and gentlemen do. This argument against democracy in Pakistan is not new, but there is an assumption hidden in this argument and that assumption is that because I am a respectable and educated man, I can tweet in English, I have degrees and I am international. The experience of working in institutions, therefore, when I give my vote to someone in democracy, I will give it very thoughtfully and submit it to the country's interest. If a poor and illiterate person gives it, it is obvious that he will lose his vote, so it is proved that democracy cannot be successful in Pakistan. The second assumption is that if the country is handed over for a few years (at least ten years) to a well-intentioned group of visionary and knowledgeable people who will make a roadmap for the development and prosperity of the country with full zeal and diligence and then By doing this, get the country out of this mess, then we can think about giving the right to vote to the poor, the poor and the underprivileged, and if we don't, then to reap the 'fruits' of democracy.
