WAQAR HUSSAIN  SAMANABAD LAHORE. 

TURKISH PRIME MINISTER RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN VISITED PAKISTAN ,ADDRESSED THE PARLIAMENT AND COUNSELED THE OPPOSITION " CRITICIZE SITTING GOVERNMENT INSTEAD OF ATTEMPTING TO TOPPLE IT",THIS ADVICE SOUNDS CIVILIZED AND DEMOCRATIC, BUT REALITY LIES SOME WHERE ELSE.IN CIVILIZED NATIONS, WHENEVER, A PUBLIC OFFICE HOLDER IS CHARGED WITH ANY MORAL TURPITUDE, HE DEPARTS IN A JIFFY, IRRESPECTIVE OF THE FACT , HE IS GUILTY OR NOT.THIS IS CALLED DECORUM OF THE PUBLIC OFFICE,THE PRIME MINISTER SHOULD HAVE ADVISED US IN THIS CONTEXT.TURKEY HAS 100%  LITERACY RATE, WE ARE STAGGERING AT 57.7%. TURKEY ACCOMPLISHED IT IN RECENT YEARS BY IMPARTING COMPULSORY EDUCATION UP TO 12 YEAR BY LAW.THE PRIME MINISTER SHOULD HAVE ADVISED US IN THIS CONTEXT.WE HAVE MULTILINGUAL,MANY CURRICULA AND SOCIALLY DISCRIMINATED EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.WHEREAS, TURKEY HAS SOLE LANGUAGE I.E.TURKISH EVEN FOR SCIENCE SUBJECTS,ONE CURRICULUM FOR ALL AND SOCIALLY EQUITABLE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM,THE PRIME MINISTER SHOULD HAVE ADVISED US IN THIS CONTEXT.
       TURKEY IS MISTAKENLY CONSIDERED AS SECULAR STATE,IN REAL,IT IS LIBERAL,EDUCATED ISLAMIC STATE,HAVING NO PREJUDICE ON THE BASIS OF RELIGION WHERE EVEN IMMAMS(ONE WHO LEADS CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER) ARE UNIVERSITY GRADUATES,THE COUNTRY IS TEEMING WITH THOUSANDS OF PHD IN RELIGION.THE MOAZINS OF DIFFERENT MOSQUES DELIVER SYNCHRONIZED AZANS(CALL FOR CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER).HERE IMAMS ARE NOT HIGHLY EDUCATED,MOST PEOPLE PREFER TO GO FOR STUDIES OTHER THAN RELIGION AND WE LISTEN OVERLAPPING AZANS FOR ABOUT HALF AN HOUR FOR SAME PRAYER.TWO MOSQUES OF EVEN SAME LOCALITY HAVE DIFFERENT TIMINGS OF AZAN FOR THE SAME PRAYER.WE LACK RELIGIOUS HARMONY WHICH IS THE HALLMARK OF TURKEY.THE PRIME MINISTER SHOULD HAVE ADVISED US IN THIS CONTEXT.
    THE MILITARY INTERVENTION IN TURKEY WAS AS FREQUENT AS WE HAD.ARDOGAN HAS BLOCKED THEIR WAY BY MAKING AMENDMENT IN THE CONSTITUTION.PRIOR TO THIS,HE HAD UNDERGONE A HECTIC DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM  WHICH PUT TURKEY ON THE TRACK OF PROGRESS THUS ACHIEVED PROSPERITY AND ECONOMIC WELL BEING OF ITS MASSES.HE DID NOT RUSHED TO THIS  COVETED GOAL OF DEMOCRACY TO KEEP MILITARY AT BAY RATHER,  SAGACITY PREVAILED IN HIS ACTION.THE PRIME MINISTER SHOULD HAVE ADVISED US IN THIS CONTEXT.
     WE ARE FACING 20 HOURS LOAD SHEDDING IN THESE HOT FURIOUS SUMMERS,COLOSSAL CORRUPTION, REGULAR  INDISCRIMINATE KILLING, DEPLORABLE POVERTY,SECTARIAN TENSION,EDUCATIONAL BACKWARDNESS,INDUSTRIAL SICKNESS,AGRICULTURAL DECAY--ALMOST AN ECONOMIC CRUNCH.TO ALL THESE PROBLEMS ,THE SITTING GOVERNMENT HAS NO PLANS, NO ACTIONS EVEN NO INTENTIONS TO REDRESS THEM.THE OPPOSITION HAS BEEN CRITICIZING SINCE FOUR YEARS BUT WITH NO AVAIL.EVEN IT TOOK THE BLAME OF "FRIENDLY OPPOSITION"IN RECENT PAST,SWITCHED TO THE  NEW GEAR AND IS LOOKING LIKE A GENUINE OPPOSITION.FURTHER, FROM THE JUDICIARY REHABILITATION MOVEMENT, WE LEARN THE FACT THAT PEOPLE HAVE TO COME TO STREETS TO MEET THEIR DEMANDS .NOW THE OPPOSITION IS DOING WHAT CAN BE FRUITFUL AFTER DEPARTING FROM FRUITLESS LIP SERVICE.THE WORTHY TURKISH PRIME MINISTER IS PROBABLY NOT ACQUAINTED WITH INTRICATE PSYCHOLOGY OF OUR RULERS BASED ON THE PUNJABI MAXIM:"BACHA NA ROAY TAY MAAN WI DUDH NAHI DENDI"
