Cadres and Corps under Fire
By Shazia Anwer Cheema
Diplomatic Corps of Pakistan is in the news as well as under-fire while Civil Administrative units like Pakistan Administrative Service (PAS –previously known as the District Management Group or DMG) is going through the Ping Pong phase.
Politicians and Parliamentarians have pastime to educate Pakistan Foreign Office Service and PAS on how to work and how to serve the country. I am a firm believer in democracy but at the same time, I am consciously aware of the importance of the parliamentarian system but also understand the malpractices of this system in many underdeveloped countries. Power is a lethal weapon if comes in the hands of ill-versed individuals. Regrettably, our political machinery is not only lack in political knowledge but also has no acquaintance regarding personal conduct on the international stage.
