The Pakistani Spectator

Would I be able to live to see my kids grown up? Would the struggling and suffering of our people come to an end? How long would they use our religion to safe guard their vested goals? How long innocent people will vanish as victims of terrorism and lawlessness? Is President ship, ministries and NRO  bigger issues than providing food and shelter to the struggling people of Pakistan? Who would make us feel safe when we go out or send our kids to school or out side for playing?

People need basic necessities, It does not really matter to them that the food and water they get is from certain sect of  Muslims here, or in the form of foreign aid, poverty often let people to come in a state of mind where they cant differentiate between right and wrong, good or evil and it becomes difficult for them to follow religious and social norms and they could reach extremes to change their fate of long time suffering. This situation often lands them to the dens of enemies of the state and religion and they fell prey to their evils plans resulting in brain washing innocent people to commit suicide bombing and performing target killings as well.

We have a list of people who are beneficiaries of NRO? Do we have a list of people who can not buy a decent meal even at this coming Eid ul Duha? Do we have a complete list of homeless children that live their life on the streets of major cities and towns? Do we know that a person next door might need our financial and moral support to make arrangements for her marriage in a decent manner? Who keeps the record of forced labour in interior Punjab and Sindh who work like animals to help us in achieving a target of a self sufficient country in terms of food?

All we care about is list of bomb victims, what about the living dead who are far below the poverty level in terms living? We care about list of accusations made by politicians on each other, what about the list of homeless orphans and widows after during the war on terror? How many girls are burnt alive after marriage for dowry and how many killed using other ways? How many working women experience sexual harassment and struggle to save their honor and grace?

For Godness sake, lets focus on core issues and forget the rest, Is any political party can focus on above? Is any so called religious party has given a solution to any of the problems highlighted above? Forget it they will not bother, some would use Anti-American slogan to reach the realms of Kingdom or power, some would accuse each other to hold the reigns of power, some would promise justice, some would promise jobs and some would promise food and shelter but the fact remains the suffering of ordinary Pakistani will continue unless and untill we all start working hard individually and as a Nation for a big revolution and stop looking for solutions for our problems with mean politicians or abroad.
