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!
Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors
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 :)
who is angel here..plz..tell me…
true……..actuallly they used it inorder to let us know that they are not going to celebrate 14….indirectly letting the world know what they are all bout…..
They all are finding way’s to attract people by posting such banner’s ,as elections are hitting in december !
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.
