A jobless father of two set himself alight in a suicide bid outside parliament on Monday and was rushed to hospital with serious injuries, police said.
Raja Khan, from the rural town of Naushero Feroz in southern Sindh province, sprinkled himself with fuel before setting himself alight, police spokesman Naeem Iqbal told AFP.
Police officials on duty rushed to save the 35 year old’s life and took him to hospital in a serious condition, Iqbal said.
Before his attempted immolation, Khan said he was fed up with poverty.
“Police officials on duty quoted him as saying he was committing suicide because he had no job and no money,” the police spokesman said.
No one told him that today is a public holiday. The head of state is away busy burying his mother in law. Who would have noticed Self-Immolation? He put himself on fire out of poverty but he will be now more poorer after this failed suicide attempt.
and the Govt was too busy deciding how to honor the dead woman (no disrespect to her may she RIP).. announce a day off, present her with guard of honor, award her the nishan e imtiaz and what not.. i am amazed PPP didnt award the Shaheed status. I mean dont we have better things to do??

Pakistan is not a poor country, our standard of living is much much higher than some mid-income country in the world.
