What Is A Good Pakistani Citizen? Define His / Her
Rights And Responsibilities



Modern civics is the term which, refers to the rights and duties of an individual. A
good citizen is one who is dutiful, honest, efficient and hardworking. He prefers
common good over personal desires. Pakistan is a God-gifted land which was
established by our predecessors after making invaluable sacrifices. Those martyrs
laid down their own lives so that others could get a chance to live.
Patriotism must be the prime concern of every Pakistani. He or she should equip
him/her self with the latest knowledge, so that they can become useful inhabitants.
They must shed away ethno-sectarian divisions.
Provincialism and tribalism must be set aside. Being the residents of the “land of
pure people”, as the name “Pakistan” means, we must have good morals and
character. We must work as a * model enlightened and moderate Muslim society.
We must try our utmost to achieve the goals set by our predecessors.
Sympathy, sincerity, devotion, commitment, moderation, accommodation and mutual
cooperation must be the governing fibers of our social life.
Being a good citizen, one has to take the burden of some responsibilities. It should
be the prime responsibility of a good citizen to obey the laws of the community. He is
responsible for passing on righteous deeds, harmony, love for peace and the feel of
sympathy among his people. It is a saying about a democratic government: “You get
the government you deserve”. It means that the things which one demands from the
government will only be supplied if one struggles hard for it. One should join and
take part in private and voluntary welfare organizations. One should pay income tax
honestly and on time.
After fulfilling their responsibilities, good citizens also demand for the community and
personal rights. Both of these should be balanced, otherwise violence will be
promoted and thus the community will be obliterated.
The first basic and * fundamental right is the freedom of choice of religion. Every
body should be given the right to lead one’s life according to the religion one wishes
to follow. Other rights include the freedom of assembly, freedom of speech, freedom
of media.
It often happens in Pakistan that the people who are accused of crime are not given
protection, so the Government should take serious steps and urge this issue.
The right for the choice of leader should be provided to the public and that is the right
to vote. They should be well informed on the issues and candidates. When the
constitution was ratified in 1789 many people were concerned that it did not protect
certain rights. So the above rights and responsibilities should be given the utmost
importance.
