Pakistan has seen many ups and downs when it comes to continuing of democratic set-up in country. In other countries domain of military usually remains with respect to security of borders but in Pakistan military is involved in every aspect of life. Although democratic set-up is fragile but given constant struggle by democratic powers and seeing will of the people in favour of democracy by participating in electoral process in such a huge numbers makes it clear that country demands democracy. But for strong democratic set-up Pakistan needs strong democratic institutions which works under guidelines set by the constitution of the Pakistan, any institution which breaches constitution would be a threat to future of democracy in Pakistan therefore country needs to make its institutions transparent and ensure meritocracy which will help it to establish rule of law and finally upholding of constitution. Withdrawal of recent law apropos to curbs on social media can be a first step towards struggle for democracy in Pakistan.
