Populace Anger : Food Shortage, Load Shedding, Judges

If you see the socio-economic indicators on the ground level in Pakistan, you are sure fire to plunge in the sea of despair, gloom and apprehension.

They way people have shoe-treated some of their previous tormentors in Karachi and Lahore and the way people have rioted against Multan Electric Power Corporation, and the way people in Baghbanpura, Lahore have beaten police because one of their man was tortured to death in the police station, it all shows the lava boiling amongst the people of this country.

The biggest bomb which is ticking for this new government of Pakistan Democratic Alliance is of food shortage. In the previous Draconian regime, there was an acute artificial food shortage just to fill in the Spanish accounts,  but now the food shortage is world over and it would affect the Pakistani market very badly.

That means that the import of wheat and other food items would be slow and hard to obtain and the smuggling and hoarding would be the order of the day. So government needs to work on this on war footings and hard work is needed in this regard with concerted efforts.

    Sir,
    Food crisis is world over and Pakistan must stop exporting rice as done by India. rice exporting countries like Myanmar,vietnam,brazil are all facing food price crisis. This can bring down the government unless the ordinary pakistani is protected by rationing as done in India.

    Johann is right ,we should immediately exercised such actions that can be supportive to the nation. but problem here in our country is that we are not nationalist .we do not want to stay in our country ,if such problem is encountered.So why should we worry about ? we already have well established houses in most dashing countries of the world with perhaps billions of account,as such our progeny are already settled outside and getting the best of educational qualification there.so atleast i must not bother about what has been destined by fate ,to this country and its people .i will stay here till i feel its all ok ,the moment i will realize that things are not under my control ,i will flee,so lets enjoy the evergreen dines and lavish livings and positions in lieu of governance. these pakistani people ar always up to my nerves. we have just taken over ,give us a break buddy ,let me scrutinize our main issue which is the stable government then i will see that what is to be done for hungry and ill people .judiciary is very important to me .foreign reation are the second priority .what is so exciting about if people are giving up life along with their children for lack of employment and food .its all that is a brunt that is facing by me because of previous government .let me give some time ,to settle my self and sort out political victimisation that was carried out during our previous regimn,so to satisfy my people and party .sir i am very worried about .impression and body moves are showing their direction and things are going towards worse .may god give us and have pity on us .
