Many of you would already have seen this photograph.
It shows a policeman (of the Punjab Police, I believe) helping hang billboards showing the election symbol of ‘bicycle.’ The bicycle, by the way, is the electoral symbol of the ruling party PML(Q), whose supposed Prime Ministerial candidate Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi is the Chief Minister of Punjab and, therefore, the direct boss of this poor cop.
By the way, from the look of it this official van is holding lots of other billboards; most likely with the same symbol. For the uninitiated we should note that the Blue Toyota Hilux vans are the vehicle of choice for the Punjab Police. Also note the word (in Urdu) ‘Police’ at the back of the van and the green number plate. Both signifying that this is an official government vehicle. The policeman, of course, is also in official uniform - duly armed - and ‘assisting’ in what is clearly political campaigning.
My first thought had been to ask people to suggest a funny title for this… maybe something like “Police ka hai farz madad aap ki!” (It’s the Police’s duty to help you) which used to be the slogan of the police service. However, there is very little about this picture that is funny. And their is plenty that is truly disturbing.

Democrats were in power when SC ruled against Al Gore they did not ban the judiciary.
Judges are nominated in US but congress has to approve them.
btw I tried to answer your other post but it disappeared.
Elementary my dear Watson, if he is looking up, he is hanging them, if he is looking down, …
he will loose his job.
And support of all of those who relish the laws being broken and amazing adulations for each breach of trust.
Guys! how can you be so sure that the police is hanging up or pulling these down due to size restrictions?
Idetroces,
@thanks for not agreeing, however.

Roshan,
@ sorry you have weak memories,
Indira and USA played also with SC Judges, they are
chosen, like the girls choose their Barbie. Have you
forgotten Bush’s (GW) first elections approved by a
judge ?
@ We shall come to know the truth about our Judiciary
on the subject of decision against Mushy’s eligibility,
what was behind ” unnecessary delays” with attending
wedding & Khutna arguements, this is indeed curious !!
@MQ:
That indeed is a very sorry state of affairs in Pakistan. Thanks to the lust for power of one man who is mortal by any standards but who thinks of himself as God.
