In Pakistan, corruption is not considered a crime, not even minor.It the only industry in Pakistan that is expanding day and night. It is even not a matter of shame for anyone but it has become a matter of honor now a days.It suits to all Govt. representatives, Officials and other govt employees.It is curse for only a common man in Pakistan otherwise it has become blessing for others.It is blessing for officials and no legal restriction practically on it. In last few decades, according to Amnesty International corruption of 240 billions per day is being done by the Govt Ministers, officials and other govt. employees But there is not even a single case I have seen in which corrupt are penalized really.
yesterday ex Railway Minister of china was given death punishment on being guilty of corruption.

When I visit any govt office i see there is is no discrimination between Hallal and Haraam. Every one is indulged in looting people and also govt. funds with booth hands. Every Pakistani is very much clear and see such type of looting every day. Starting from a patwari , clerk, Police constable , meter reader of WAPDA and Sui gas to top level officials. can a country progress in such situation? this is the question.
The answer in certainly not.Nation will smashed in crises which is likely to be now.
How Corruption can be eliminated?
After MNA' Senators, MPAs the department responsible for expansion of corruption in Pakistani Police ( Including NAB, anti-corruption etc), then other departments like Health, admin, Education, railway etc.......
Police is playing main role because they have to give proves, Investigate the matters and follow the case in courts which they will never do until police reforms are not done. Police reforms that have been put in practice so far will never be fruitful . I suggest only four measures that will bring real change in society
otherwise a common man will come forward to implement other ways.
1.All Police Training Institutes should Run under Military
All police training institutes should be manned by Military including educations or Physical Training. bribery starts from these institutes when trainees have to pay for relaxation and leave to the concerning authorities. This is fact but all institutes heads will not admit this evil.

WHO is Responsible?
All politicians sitting in Senate, National and provincial assemblies are responsible for it because they are not passing any law which give severe punishment for corrupt people like in china. Perhaps they are saving their side as they they have to start it themselves.How Corruption can be eliminated?

1.All Police Training Institutes should Run under Military
All police training institutes should be manned by Military including educations or Physical Training. bribery starts from these institutes when trainees have to pay for relaxation and leave to the concerning authorities. This is fact but all institutes heads will not admit this evil.
After training the persons should be handed over to police Department and should come on police role. Ethical Science should be included in their syllabus and scientific interrogation methods should be taught. they should be held responsible for wrong reporting any time.
2- Police Messing should be compulsory
Their messing should be compulsory all the police person should dine in their messes three times. they should be provided meal on their duty spots also.Meal should be provided on their duty spots if they are on active field duty.Ration money should be deducted from their salaries. There should be no option to get food at their own otherwise we all know how they manage their food. They are not habitual of purchasing meal from their salaries. Because according to most of the police persons, salaries are not given for this purpose.
3-Duty Hours and leaves schedule should be amended in current police act
Police Act 1861 should be amended according to needs of a sovereign country as Pakistani police is not colonial police now. They should be be given right of leave and other personnel benefits like military personnel.As this leads to corruption within police Department and low ranks are exploited and they have to pay for their personal needs (leave , duty adjustments etc.) to their senior police officials.
4- Govt Of Pakistan should make amendment in Law to treat this crime as serious as Murder
If someone in govt official is corrupt , it is not considered a crime now a days because its this crime is not taken as serious as it should be. china and Saudi Arabia are good examples for this.Example of civilized and developed countries should be adopted in this regard.
