President Pervez Musharraf has said Pakistan was a 'soft state' with poor law and order. "Poor law and order situation is hampering progress of the country," Musharraf said while addressing the Darbar of Punjab Police at District Police Lines, Lahore. "Here in Pakistan law breaking is considered a prestige point and it is regarded as a symbol of power by the influential and resourceful people. Every law enacted in Pakistan is neither followed in letter and spirit nor there is any check on such violations which has aggravated the situation."
In a country where having a price on one's head is a sign of prestige, it's hard to understand how they've made as much progress as they have. Pakland seems to have more loons per square yard than any other country in the world, with the possible exception of "Palestine." |
