Abstract
Morality and politics have a strong relation. Politics, lacking in the values of Morality, becomes poisonous for the society. Political parties and their leaders exist in all societies of the modern world. Politics has always been integral part of Pakistani Society. Unfortunately it currently lacks the true spirit of Morality. Moral character of political leaders at national level, collectively, is becoming the reason for the moral degeneration of the society. Our political leadership uses the uncivilized language, character assassination and derogatory remarks. These practices are leaving negative effects on the moral attitude of common man, especially on the younger generation. There is a famous saying of Shah Waliullah that "circumstances play important part in the formation of ethics as compare to knowledge". Therefore, the public, especially the youth, imitates the language and character of their leadership. On one hand the contradiction of words and actions and the usage of uncivilized language by the politicians are damaging the democratic values and on the other hand the moral values are being destroyed.That is why it is essential for our national leaders to adopt necessary measures for purifying their ethics and they should present themselves as an ideal character. This paper will highlight those political factors, reasons and motives which play an important role in the moral degeneration of Pakistani society and will also recommend solutions.
