Musharraf donates Rs 10 million for flood affectees
Individual efforts: Relief camps set in all areas for collecting funds for flood victims.
PRESENT CONDITION:
Pakistan is in grip of natural calamities. Almost half of the country is inundated in flood water, million of people have been rendered homeless, thousands of people are waiting for food, and no help and support have been provided to the victims by the government. So in this situation the question arises that where this aid and relief goods are going if not being used for the relief of the victims. Speculations are roaring that government is misusing the aid money as it was done in earthquake of 2005 as no benefit and support were provided to the affectees.
Now the people do not rely on government. The country is drowning and in this situation the President is not in the country, he is enjoying his luxurious visits on nation money along with his kids enjoying life. Conducting personal business meeting on the name of official visit, spending thousands of dollars on his luxurious stay in expensive suits.
Pakistani nation is ashamed of his President. Heaven would not have fallen if he had cancelled his visit and had travelled to flood affected areas.
Zardari is facing criticism from all over the world even foreign newspapers and media are stunned on President of Pakistan ruthless behaviors for his nation.
Criticizing his foreign visit in this crucial time where he should be in his country with his people.
The anger was shown in Birmingham rally by Pakistani community shoe was thrown by a Pakistani but luckily he was saved. But this act had confirmed anger and hared against the President.
When Pakistani media aired the shoe hurling news the government start acting in a criminal way. On Zardari’s order PPP activists start targeting journalist, the channels was blocked all over the country by PEMRA, newspapers were set on fire which print the news about shoe throwing incident.
But PPP government is not aware that they can only put restriction on Pakistani media but they can not stop the circulation of such news internationally and through wire service all around the world.
When shoe was thrown on Bush he didn’t do such act and did not blocked the media. So why such acts are seen in Pakistan where we claim that we are living in a democratic state under the leadership of democratic government.
PPP government a so called government has failed in all way and Pakistan do not need such useless government any more. After blocking the news channels and harsh and cruel attitude of PPP Jialas hatred against Zardari has reached to uncontrollable level.
Now Pakistani need change and government who act like government who protect its people in all way instead of spending nation money on luxurious and useless visits.
Now its time that instead of depending on so called democratic government for help we should stand for bringing change in lives of flood victims for their help and support., Its time to revive the spirit of 2005 earthquake in which we all Pakistanis stood as one nation for the support of our people.
