JINNAH’S LEGACY : ROYAL EFFING TO DEMOCRACY in PAKISTAN

THE PEOPLE CHANGED IN PAKISTAN AT THE TOP BUT THE GENETIC MAKE-UP OF PAKISTANI LEADERSHIP REMAINED WHAT THE DEMONIC JINNAH DID BY HIMSELF WHEN PAKISTAN WAS CREATED.

The following excerpts would reflect on WHY PAKISTAN’S SET-UP EFFED SINCE ITS INCEPTION. Here is how!


John R Wood in Pacific Affairs 1985-‘86

=======================================

The long-range implications for a democratic Pakistan were ominous: the only man who had real power in Pakistan chose not to be its Prime Minister, Pakistan’s parliament would be fatally weakened. Mountbatten later recalled making this point with Jinnah.

I (Mountabatten) said, “you have chosen the wrong thing? The man you want to be is the Prime Minster runs the country”.

“No NOT IN MY PAKISTAN” he (JINNAH) said. “ There the Prime Minister will do what the Governor General tells him.”

So I (Mountbatten) said, “ that’s the whole reverse of the whole concept of British democracy.”

“NEVERTHELESS, THAT’S THE WAY I AM (JINNAH) GOING TO RUN PAKISTAN”

=======================================

That’s how it’s still being run where the self-appointed Dictator (good intentioned, passionate about Pakistan a la Jinnah) dictates what Prime Minister ought to do!!!
