Following photo is taken from MB‘s blog here.

The image is a cloth banner wishing ‘Happy Indpendence Day to all Pakistanis except those who habitually change their political loyalties (lotay) and those who have regularly plundered national wealth (luteray).’ As you can see the banner message is issued by the PML(N) leader Shahbaz Sharif‘s secretariat. I guess Pakistani streets are always a great place to find political commentary!

    I disagree with the notion that lotas and luteras are not welcome to celebrate independence day. If a free society is what all of us yearn for then all free men (including those free to change loyaties and free to rob the country) should be free to celebrate this day. In a civilized society even criminals (who may even be behind bars) have rights :)

    Shabaz Sharif’s office not giving independence day’s mubarak- baad to Mrs. 10% is understandable, but, as per the banner, their mubarak baad is not for Shabaz’s own older brother either. Thats sad. What has the world come down to. Bahi bahi ka khoon safeed ho giya hai.

    Interesting discussion. I guess someone rightly said that “the lota and poodle live an unlucky existence owing to circumstances out of their control.”

    And in serious terms Adil has said it right. These people re called lota “because the traditiona Lota had a round base and would, therefore, tilt or roll towards where ever the
