Articles of the year 2020

Pakistan is truly the land of opportunity, while we are cowering under the threat of Corona wearing masks and washing our hands multiple times a day and distancing ourselves from human contact for fear of contamination by the deadly Corona , a debate is raging on weather the PM will enforce a lockdown - partial or complete. This decision is under consideration and has yet to be announced. In the mean time rumours abound. The main rumour is that markets are being asked for an amount to enable opening of the business.

Factories are also been given a price quotation for opening of the factory. A very clever reverse Bhatta system is being put in place by the head honcho of the Sindh government. Otherwise they should remain closed till after Eid. The losses sustained are enormous. Understandably the Karachi businessmen are comparing this to the rule of Altaf Hussain (MQM). Whether true or not, the opportunity has been created by the unscrupulous to enter their bid.

This is a test case for the government of Imran Khan. Failing which the Army should step in and take control of the streets of Karachi. To open the markets for a price is a sad reflection on the PTI . Incredible, that Sindh is creating a unique place for itself in this world by putting a price on the opportunity in this day of the Corona. Sadly! The spirit of Benazir must be turning in her grave in torment of what her party is stooping to.

If anything the politician of Sindh is proving himself to be the most unscrupulous person in the world today. This is the right time for such a party to be banned forever. To stop this party from continuing to exploit the masses who are susceptible to the guile of the PPP leadership. These poor innocent people must be protected from their own stupidity.

It is indeed painful to see politicians creating opportunities to make money from a matter as serious as the Corona Pandemic. Surely the government of Imran, honest as it may be if he cannot take action against the PPP and the PML-N at this point in time when the entire political spectrum stands exposed, he should dissolve the assemblies and ask the army to assist him in a drive to clear the streets, and to distribute food amongst the needy. We have already seen the indiscipline of the distribution of the money and the manner in which the politicians are trying to take benefit from this unfortunate natural disaster.
