An Insight into Politico-Economic Implications of Agitational Politics in Pakistan

Abstract

Politics that is combative is a global phenomenon. However, factors might alter throughout time, from place to place and country to country. It is seen as a fundamental human right and is crucial to politics in democracies. Agitation and protests are actually methodical and determined attempts to arouse public sentiment on a particular issue. Government operations are so disrupted. The objective is to draw attention to the problem and draw attention from the general public. A democratic kind of governance is one in which the populace is happy. If not, the public makes demands and joins these agitations, which causes issues for the government with law and order. Even though Pakistan is a democratic nation, neither the public's behavior nor the governments' willingness to grant the people rights are democratic. Election 1970 is thought to have been the only free and fair election since Pakistan's founding. It's unlikely that any caretaker government used illegal means to sway the results of the elections. Developing countries, like Pakistan, face a variety of problems such as political unrest, inability, muddle, and dissent. Street politics does not make politics solid and established. Agitational and Street politics does not strengthen democracy; it only weakens the government. Pakistan has a track record of shocking and tragic agitations during dictators as well as the elected governments. Issues and sometimes non-issues are magnified and glorified to strengthen their agitations so that they get the ultimate ends. The democratic attitude from both government and the public to develop a democratic system is required. Often our system shows the lack of understanding between democratic government and the public when they use violence and street politics to gain the desired goal on the name of the democratic right; on the other hand, the public is not generous to wait for any change. They, most of the time, want an overnight revolution. Therefore, extreme positions collide on demolishing the whole system.
