ایک مضبوط جمہوریت چاہتے ہیں تو وہ مقامی حکومتوں کے نظام کے بغیر نہیں ہوسکتی۔اصل جمہوریت کا نام ہی عام آدمی کی حکومت ہے بدقسمتی سے، تمام سیاسی جماعتوں نے انہیں مستحکم کرنے کے لئے کچھ
آئین کے آرٹیکل 140A کے تحت لوکل گورنمنٹ کا ادارہ مستقل بنیادی جمہوری ادارے کے طور پر متعارف کروایا گیا۔جس کے پاس ایڈمنسٹریشن، پولیٹیکل اور فینشیل ذمہ داریاں ہیں۔اگر یہ ادارے ہمارے ملک میں مستحکم ہوجاہیں تو لوکل سطح پر ترقیاتی کام اور لوکل کمیونٹی کے مسائل آسانی سے حل ہوسکتے ہیں
