Abstract
This paper is going to explain about the power politics among the political and apolitical
institutions in Pakistan. Politics is an activity for seeking power in a legitimate way. Persuasion is
a force that obliges the state actors to achieve objectives through power. Power is a capability to
shift the probability in to ones own favour especially when circumstances are going against any
actor. Political institutions are a backbone of any country and they keep the country on a right
track. However, if the institutions became dysfunctional owing to their bad construction or
composition, it undermines the state on a large scale.
Pakistan’s political institutions like parliament have been under pressure due to the
persuasive role of apolitical institutions that are judiciary, military and bureaucracy. It is the case
of legitimacy and authority, our political institutions do not enjoy. The dynastic politics among
leading interest (political) groups, nepotism, and corruption are such social evils that allow
apolitical institutions to intervene in the state. The regular elections within political groups are
necessary for transforming those groups in to political parties. This paper is based on empirical
method of research and purely on personal analysis.
