There could be no comparison between a democratic set up and notorious establishment. In Pakistani history establishment always hindered democratic process in order to subvert the democracy or wishfully to suppress the democratic leaders. This is the same reason that democracy is always maligned that it is barren to deliver. The most dark aspect is that establishment looted the country and since 1947 , it is rending the Pakistan like vultures. The all-powerful establishment in Pakistan has been claiming an unprecedented share in the national wealth. They may have legalised their methods of appropriating this wealth, but it has encouraged the other powerful sections of society to use the means at their disposal to get even. Being in power, directly or indirectly, for the last 30 years, the establishment has been endorsing legal and illegal methods of accumulating wealth. Most national institutions, from universities to money-losing state corporations — which are being reorganized now — were run by military men during the Musharraf regime. Therefore, the establishment cannot claim innocence regarding the misappropriation of wealth. The establishment cannot expect governance to improve if it projects itself to be above accountability and keeps claiming irrational levels of national income as compared to other democracies.
