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.
@Election Commission has printed electoral list
on CD for 200 Rs.
81 millions registered,
3.7 million bogus voters excluded (not 4.7 ).
I wonder who asked BB 2 crores for this list ???
@ bb CAN NOT EVEN LIE,
Election Commission has started distribution of
a CD with electoral listing for 200 Rs. and has
excluded 4.7 million of bogus voters.
I wounder who was asking 2 crores for this list
from BB, must be Zardari ?
Did the CJ change the date of verdict? He was not even on the panel of judges deciding the fate of Gen. Musharraf’s tenure. You might want to read the names of the judges present on the panel again.
I would really like to know why was the CJ delaying decision on Musharraf? and why was the decision date changed 3 times?
I. Q. Butt, post the link from bbc if thats true.
@Bilal, yes free elections!
Rashid Rauf Escapes……!
let a rat out so that he could lead to the rat-hole where all the other rats are. Easier for the exterminator to discreetly follow and blow up the rat-hole to get rid of all the rats once and for all.
Enuff Said!
“free Elections”… one more lie from Musharraf….
