Darwaish

This picture is from Faisal Mosque, Islamabad and almost every newspaper in Pakistan published it on Saturday, just a day before Eid-Ul-Fitr. This poor guy had to come to a mosque because he can no longer sell his kidney in the “Kidney Bazaars”. After the arrest of the Kidney Gang of Lahore, our government had to bring a new law, thanks to strict orders from Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhary. Just last week, Shaukat Aziz gave us this good news during an interview on ARY Digital that poverty have been reduced from 36% to 24% (I always wonder who comes up with these figures anyways?). He proudly said that thanks to the wonderful work by our government, we have eliminated poverty significantly. Perhaps, he meant the poor.

Here in Pakistan, everyday we hear the tall claims of progress and prosperity from the ruling elite and on the other hand we find a totally different picture on ground. I do not need to say more. They have become totally disconnected from the reality that they have no idea whatsoever about the problems of ordinary people of Pakistan (Yes yes, due to security reasons we don’t feel safe in Awaam). Or may be, people complain all the time for no reason and I am just being cynical. May be Mr. Pervez Elahi is absolutely right when he says everyday in television commercials, paid by our tax money, “Har Qadam Khushhaali Ki Janab”

    @adonis

    comparing america and pakistan in the context of religion is an absolute absurdity.

    Pakistan along with israel are the two states which were formed on the basis of religion.

    For Americans it wasnt RELIGION which made them fight against colonialism. But for Pakistanis religious influence is a matter of great importance, remember name of your country is ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF PAKISTAN, not just Republic of PAkistan , though in Ayub era, establishment removed ISLAMIC on all the official documents but later reinstate this word due to Ayub’s U-TURN on this issue

    So your first point is nothing but an attempt to prove ur point with a wrong example.

    your second point, as you wrote:
    opinion of 90% of muslims who voted for him counts more than the views of one confused individual.

    what would you say about HITLER’s party, GERMANS voted for his party, thats why his party won more seats than its rival parties.

    So if ppl voted for hitler it didt make him a FIT man to hold the office, does it???

    As Jinnah won the hearts of muslims cuz HE TALKED ABOUT ISLAM, just like Hitler who said,

    EXCEPRT from an article,

    Hitler appealed to morality, attacking free love and what he inferred was the immorality of Berlin and some other major cities. He promised to stamp out big city corruption. He called for a spiritual revolution, for a “positive Christianity” and a spirit of national pride.

    further as Jinnah played ISLAMIC card and present Hindus as MULIM’s biggest enmies, Hitler presented COMMUNIST as a fearsome creatures and asked his ppl,

    “If you want your country to go Bolshevik, vote Communist. If you want to remain free Germans, vote for the National Socialists”.

    your point three:

    Liaquat’s decision to visit America, you wrote:
    is just another fallacy that has been proved false after the foreign ministry

    To the Politicians of Pakistan and others people looting Pakistan

  5. Rafay Kashmiri says:

    Viewing some of the posts a bit ” large in their naivity”
    (calculated)

    Its is indeed a cheap propoganda from secular/commi

    This is a prove that socialism of PPP has failed because of
    corruption within and foreign agenda on the surface,

    Nothing belongs to yourself anymore, this is foreign
    agenda.
