I did not know that December 9 was the “International Anti-Corruption Day.” Nor that it would be observed in Pakistan along with Eid. I learnt this and saw this picture at Islamabad Metroblog, and didn’t really know how to react to it.

Yes, saying “No” will help. But maybe it will take a little more than just saying “No.”

On the other hand, there are plenty of reasons why we should observe the day “Anti-Corruption” day in Pakistan. Would’nt it be just wonderful if we observed it every day!

    A good reminder… but needs reinforcement – civil, legal, moral institutional and personal.

    A small glimmer of hope.

    This reminds me, what happened to that case of CJ Dogar boosting his daughter’s marks? It seems we all forgot about it after the Mumbai attacks.

    of course NO will not work alone, but who will say atleast NO?

    Corruption is defined as life in Pakistan

    When I saw it this morning, my sentiments were nearly the same. Saying NO is just not enough. But then the words were carefully crafted. Your NO Counts … and actually yes. No from one person is probably the first drop of the rain … if we can’t do anything big … we can at least do some self-rectification.
