As we all have seen in the past years Pakistan has witnessed political instability which has primarily affected the lives of its citizens, especially the students of Pakistan. In recent times two ruling political parties have been in opposition for a period of time, longing for peace to settle in between. moreover, the followers of both parties are actively running the party message at their agendas and knowledge, which unfortunately turns into huge rallies and conflicts between the party followers and supporters.
As there is no law enforcement for people to carry peaceful rallies, and they are deprived of their basic right to show their opinion, the law is used wrongfully, which erupts huge, dangerous, deadly riots between the supporters and civilians are highly affected by it.
Moreover, law enforcement uses their place of power as suited to them and places containers, and blockages on the roads to prevent civilians from carrying out their daily routine lives. it causes chaos in the whole country, disrupting medical facilities, people going to their work and students going for their academic activities.
As we look deep into the academic lives of students, it is the most affected by this political instability. Students work hard throughout the year, and these riots and roadblocks have caused major career disruptions for several students in huge numbers. students work all their lives to enroll themselves in top institutions for their higher education, and important examinations, and their higher grades play a big role in their selections. when these chaotic events take place, the examinations are cancelled. The students have to reappear the next year, or they are graded based on their full-year academic record, which has a huge effect on their enrollment in top institutions. Furthermore, a lot of students are victims of mental health due to these failures they face, as many students and families in our country only have one shot due to their financial situations. Political instability and wrong use of law: is it really worth ruining the youth and future of this country?
Reading this blog post struck a chord with me. Being from Karachi I have witnessed the chaos caused by VIP movements affecting everyday life. It's disheartening to see how the political clashes not only disrupt the peace of the nation but also significantly impact the academic journey of countless students. I vividly remember a day when I was running late for my economics exam in college. Unfortunately, my route was obstructed by a common occurrence of the VIP movement in the country. The stress and anxiety I felt during those moments were overwhelming, thinking about the potential consequences of missing the exam. This personal experience resonates with thousands of students who face similar issues on a larger scale. As I…
I feel like as students, the ongoing political instability has significantly disrupted our lives. The clashes between political parties escalate into dangerous riots, impacting citizens and causing chaos in the country. The misuse of law enforcement, with roadblocks and container placements, too often a times affects the essential services and daily routines. Critical examinations (CIE's, Board exams) are frequently canceled due to these events, jeopardizing aspirations for enrollment in top institutions. Mental health issues further compound the challenges, especially for those with limited opportunities. Every time these riots would happen I would think: Is the political instability and misuse of law truly worth jeopardizing the future of the country's youth? I feel like the leaders must recognize the lasting impact…
Hello Mahnoor! I completely agree with your blog post especially the mental health toll on students facing these challenges. Many students and families in Pakistan may have limited opportunities due to financial constraints, making each academic year crucial. The uncertainty and setbacks resulting from political instability can lead to significant stress and anxiety among students, impacting their mental well-being.
Your question about whether the political instability and the misuse of law are worth jeopardizing the youth and future of the country is a thought-provoking one. It underscores the urgent need for stable governance and responsible use of power to ensure the well-being and educational prospects of the nation's youth.

The blog post effectively highlights the detrimental effects of political instability on the lives of Pakistani citizens, particularly students. As you paints a vivid picture of the chaos and disruptions caused by political rallies, roadblocks, and the misuse of law enforcement power, emphasizing the severe impact on students' academic pursuits and mental well-being. But the point to think is that how can law enforcement agencies be held accountable for the misuse of their power and ensure that they facilitate peaceful protests rather than suppress them? And like as you mentioned that it also affect the mental health of students so how support systems can be put in place to help students who have been adversely affected by political instability, particularly…
I think your blog provides an excellent focused analysis of the extensive and extremely concerning ramifications of Pakistan's political unrest. Your examination of the human cost of this struck me as both fascinating and crucial, especially in light of the connection you established between student mental health issues and political unrest. Furthermore, I believe that discussing the socioeconomic aspects of this issue and the difficulties faced by students with little opportunities and financial constraints is crucial because, as we all know, students' years of hard work are not the only things at stake—they also have to pay a hefty fee to take these exams. Furthermore, Aleena and I covered in detail in our presentation the interesting points you made in…
