I recently participated in the Pakistan National Forum on promoting national integration and international understanding. The subject was 'attacked by speakers from differing viewpoints including diplomacy, defence, educational, religious extremism, terrorism, cultural invasion from India and lack of good governance. Seven or eight speakers addressed the gathering. But even after about two hours, the amazing part was questions kept being raised and comments were freely expressed at length. I would suggest in future each speaker at the end of his/her presentation answer only a relevant question or two in a few minutes so that the real topic remains in focus and fresh in the minds of the audience. Since corruption is ingrained deep, it needs a whole session devoted to it. Not just for recounting history but to provide an action plan to first contain corruption and secondly to reduce it progressively over a period of time. New ideas might emerge. Always remember the mother of moral decay is corruption, more corruption and yet more corruption. Have we not had enough of it in 63 years? -MASOOD HASAN, Lahore, March 4.
