KARACHI: We have yet to define whether we want to be a democratic welfare state or a security state. The struggle for Pakistan since its inception has always been between the elite and the poor. Television channels are defining the national narrative. These were thoughts expressed at the Aga Khan University’s Sixth Sense Forum Lecture Series on Tuesday at a panel discussion on “Pakistan’s rising political temperature” which was followed by a spirited debate on the efficacy and pitfalls of democracy and its processes.
The discussion featured columnist and journalist Ghazi Salahuddin, economic adviser to the Balochistan government Kaiser Bengali and TV anchorperson and columnist Ayesha Tammy Haq.
