Masud Alam of the BBC's Urdu points his finger at the upper rungs of Pakistani society to answer the question of who is responsible for the anarchy there.
Senior government functionaries in Pakistan are fond of complaining, in private, that the nation they are serving is averse to following the dictates of law.
That if something does not work in this country it is because the common man does not follow the system.
Lack of education, lack of discipline and lack of respect for the law are just some of the misdemeanours on the part of a populace that hampers the pace of progress.
A section of Pakistanis - the so-called educated and those living abroad - also subscribe to this preposterous notion.
But in truth, things could not be more different.
'A few drops'
It is the incompetence of the bureaucracy, the ignorance of lawmakers, the greed of the military for power and riches - combined with a glaring contempt for the law on the part of all three groups - that has created and then compounded the social anarchy that everyone is now forced to live in.
There is no law in this country that cannot be or has not been broken by the very people who made them, and those whose job it is to implement them.
