The Political Parties MUST reorganize themselves

A political party could be thought of as an organisation consisting of management experts that competes with others to secure the job of managing the country for a certain period of time. Management of a country is a gigantic task, requiring a well equipped and well knit team well versed in various disciplines of national life. Each member of the team should have  They should be  think the single most important reason democracy could not take roots in our motherland is that our 'political parties' exist in and around a single personality, a super hero loved and revered by the followers. The moment that super hero is picked up and put in a cage by organized and well disciplined brute forces acting in blatent violation of every rule of law, the popular following of the hero acts numb and spell bound and fails to put up resistence. This happens because there is almost complete lack of an institutional framework to harness the popular sentiment into a strong and formiddable force to counter and confront the well organized rogue forces.


For God's sake our leaders should realize that they are national asset, but also that they are made of mortal flesh. They need to immortalize and perpetuate their leadership through institutionalizing their talent. Their party should be present in every block of every town and every village in the shape of a basic democratic entity. And these primaries should be a part of the overall heirarchy of the party at national level. Future leadership should grow along the organizational ladder of this organization. In my view, Sharif brothers have the capability to create such an orgaization. The only question is do they really want to live and act within the confines of an organizational net work. This is a big question and answer seems to be evasive.
