Corruption – Outcome of social insecurities

The biggest dilemma of our society is that people are living with the uncertainties and social insecurities, which compel the majority of us to follow short cuts to improve our living standards.

While following short cuts, mostly people forget to remember their cultural responsibilities and the concept of Islam’s basic lesson to earn Halal money, therefore, they chose to live with corruption, which eventually disturbs the whole society and the economical
set up of the country.

Today, the corruption is one of the biggest issues; Pakistan is dealing with, and it has been gradually damaging us as a nation.

We consider corruption as our genuine right and way-out to get rid of poverty because the Pakistani governments have always been failed to give basic human rights to Pakistan’s nation.

Considering above mentioned grounds, the corruption is going on at every level of the society to seek short cuts.

It starts from our streets, making people fool by serving them with low standard goods weather its mixing massive amount of water in milk to or trying to sell old fruits and vegetable in markets, and then it reaches at next level, as the students try to
cheat in order to pass our their exams, employers compel their employees to work beyond assigned duties, which also force employees to follow unethical ways to finish their overloaded task, as we all know every action has a reaction.

Then, it also attracts the government employees to work less than their duty hours, considering it as the blessing of their employment, which directly hits the general public affairs.

Just because of unavailability of government employees in their offices despite they are getting full salaries and incentives, most of us fail to perform our urgent tasks, related to government originations such as ‘Court and Kachari’ matters.

At times you may find difficulty, while pursuing your genuine and legal task, as you are supposed to fill the pockets of the corrupt government employees.

The Patwari system, to buy and sell your property, is another big example of corruption in Pakistan.

And when it comes to police and the political system of the country, every level of corruption reaches at its worst height, which certainly allows criminal activities freely in the society.

If the one knows that he can deal with the police smartly, offering them heavy amount of money and using political influence, then he does not feel any fear while doing illegal acts, and that is how it affects the whole society.

There are so many example of corruption in Pakistan, but the basic grounds to adopt this voyage remain same, and that is uncertainties and social insecurities.

To eliminate this dilemma, we need to work collectively as a nation, considering our national duties, and following basic teachings of our religion Islam to believe in Allah, as he promised to provide Rizaq.

And then, its government’s responsibility to respect basic human needs, controlling inflation rate and poverty ratio by taking appropriate steps.

The government needs to create an opportunities for the nation, making sure education and employment for everyone.
