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”
Darwaish Bhai,
Hilarious polemic
since the appearance of this blog and comments deserved,
there is polemic around this on the basis of supply and
demand theory, it appears that in Rawalpindi, Gujarat
and Gujranwala now they are found before masjids, young
amateurs with placards like :
” lost my kidney in karsaz blast can I have one from
Benazir ”
” lost my one eye, can Rehman or Shery Malik lend me
their’s.?”
” lost my child can Benazir replace’ em”?
” lost my three fingers, I just want Benazir’s Index.
” (A woman) I have lost my one right ………….can Benazir
arrange” ?
” lost my glasses, Benazir as well, we both lost”
” (Apparently a man) I have lost one of my………..can I
ask Zardari if he can………….?”
The police had to be called they were evacuated from
there, what a day `!!
What a dumb pretence for an article. So a person selling his kidney means that all the progress has been for nought? Does a single person’s condition provide conclusive evidence of a country’s economical progress?

Hazrat ji

Mien Kampf.
Do some research on Jinnah in sobriety. Make wazzo first.
Well since the demise of Jinnah gud times never came…it was all about promises, dictators, rigged elections and the roads to democracy…but it was only in this govt that we are losing the very basic human right: THE RIGHT TO LIVE!
