    the country less stable.

    progress and development. The frequent military interventions, weak democratic
    institutions, and power struggles between political parties have

    What is STATE?
    Responsibilities of the State:
    Here are some of the most fundamental
    responsibilities of a state

    - Ensuring Security:

    - Administering Justice:

    - Promoting Welfare:
    Ensuring Security:
    Failure of our state in this regard:

    ● Increase in street crimes in Karachi in 2023: 11.11% rise reported.

    ● Over 90,000 incidents reported in 2023 compared to over 80,000 cases in


    2022.

    ● 134 citizens brutally murdered out of 90,000 incidents reported.

    ● Hundreds injured while resisting robberies.


    Violence thrives in the absence of
    a functioning state.
    Administering Justice:
    Failure of our state in this regard:
    ● Shahrukh Jatoi case

    ● Raymond Davis case

    ● Noor Muqaddam case


    Promoting Welfare:
    Failure of our state in this regard:

    ● Pakistan ranks second globally in the number of out-of-school children


    (OOSC).
    ● Approximately 22.8 million children aged 5-16 are not attending school in
    Pakistan.
    ● This represents 44% of the total population in this age group.
    Failed states are a stain
    on the progress of
    humanity.
