Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s recent allegations have sent shock­waves rippling through Pakistan’s political landscape. The idea that high-ranking military officials allegedly meddled in the political affairs of the coun­try raises serious concerns about our democratic principles and how much they matter on a national level. We cannot afford to dismiss these allegations as mere political ma­noeuvring; they strike at the heart of our democratic process and de­mand the attention of the public as well as those in power. Pakistan stands at a political and economic crossroads, and the choices we make now will shape the future of our nation. It is high time that the nation stands up for transparency and the principles of democracy that form the bedrock of our society.
