Hello Hive Learners Community! Welcome to my blog. Citizens in every country have the right to contribute to the progress and development of a state. It is the soul of Democracy when any government body takes suggestions from the general public. Unfortunately, nowadays, Political Leaders, after coming into power, ignore the opinion of the general public. Whether it is a peace deal or a war, the rights of innocent citizens are crushed. This matter is debatable and should be guided by the United Nations.
Democratic Rights of Citizens Vs Government's Foreign Policies
Every Citizen reserves the right to play a role in the betterment of their country. Conflicts between countries have always resulted in the loss of many lives and bloodshed paid by the general public. War is not the solution for anything. If Government Leaders started taking suggestions from the public then I'm hopeful war will not be the end of the democratic policies.
We have a recent bad war experience between Pakistan and India. Whatever the reason behind the war may be, the shedding of blood has been witnessed on both sides. It was the General Public who were suffering while Ministers and their families were enjoying watching TV in their homes. Many Civilians were martyred and faced financial losses. During this clash, opinions by general citizens had been ignored, hence the Foreign and Defence Ministries on both sides found a solution to the war.
Whether it is an Economic War or a Physical War, we should not ignore our public. Government bodies should come up with a poll or vote against every possible option before war. It is pure democracy and can help each citizen to exercise their rights.
Borders can be barriers, but citizens in both countries love each other. I condemn the loss of every life during the clash between Pakistan and India. Peaceful people make a peaceful narrative for finding a solution. War is not even the end of debate. We should give equal opportunity to our neighbours to clarify issues that are linked to them.
Terrorism has no religion and no human traits. If it is the reason behind the war, then both leaders sit beside and find a solution instead of shedding the blood of the general public. The United Nations can play a role and make good policies for these conflicts to stop the war.
Final Thoughts
Democratic Parties always prioritise the rights of their citizens. For any aspect either regarding war or peace, they mentioned and targeted the rights of their people. I have witnessed these things in the leaders of developed countries, but the leaders of underdeveloped countries prioritise their pride, self-esteem, and Valor. Lives of innocent people are cheap there and they consider people's opinions as a sin. It is called a Dictatorship, not Democratic rule. Anything by people should be respected and fulfilled because they are our voting power. Some leaders are really crazy and they take war as their political stunt. We need to discourage these people and never vote for them.
