Pakistan should try joint (martial and civilian) rule, as given below, given the role of armed forces in shaping the history of Pakistan and given the fact that the armed forces are still reasonably in command and control of the country and Pakistan's State apparatus with the assistance of civilians:
(1)- There should be two power centers. One, the Prime Minister / Chief Ministers representing civilian power and other the President representing martial power (Military, Air Force and Navy).
(2)- Though ultimate power should be vested in President but constitution should lay down in detail the jurisdictions of establishments under both, the President P.M./C.M.
(3)- Independent judicial system as left by Britishers in Pakistan (as in India also) may be retained and relied upon.
(4)- There should be two categories of elections .One for Parliament / State Legislative
Assemblies by civilians where members of Parliament / State Assemblies will elect Prime Minister / Chief Ministers as in India also. And the second for President where members of all the three armed forces will elect the President.
(5)- Armed forces may be given voting right of one to one person or may be as per some formula based on rank.
(6)- Obviously, all civilian matters should be left to P.M./C.M. And also except war and security matters (which should be under President) all other matters related to armed forces like procurement of equipments, ammunition etc may too be left to ministries led by Prime Minister (as it will help guard the armed forces from all pervasive corruption and patronage) Pakistan will do well if it develops a model of democracy as per its own condition and requirements and turns impervious to international pressure for emulating western model of democracy. After all there is nothing wrong in vesting ultimate power to those who lay down their lives for protecting the country and the State (which is law).
It will definitely be better than Indian system where power is ultimately vested in civilian representatives from political parities, which instead of helping governments run as per the dictates of law; these political parties have themselves become the fountain of widespread patronage, corruption and crimes in India.
Hence, Pakistan need not be surprised if after adopting this joint democracy:
(i)- Given the contemporary thorough criminalisation of Indian democracy, India may also follow the example of proposed joint (civilian and martial) democracy in the interest of justice and human rights of majority of hapless Indians;
ii)- Other countries of SAARC and other developing countries of the world will also find this proposed model of joint democracy, suitable to their countries.
