Bashir Khan Qureshi of Jiye Sindh Qaumi Mahaz, JSQM, died of heart attack. As he passed away, politics of allegations started and leadership of JSQM started to declare Bashir’s death a conspiracy, saying that Bashir Khan was given poison. It is a great misfortune that whenever a political leader dies, his or her party starts protest demos and calls for strike uselessly, due to which citizens of Pakistan have to face hardships.
It is better to quote a common man’s words here who was irritated on the recent strike by JSQM in Sindh. He said if a person died, people should pray for him and for his better hereafter but the political parties were going about totally wrong in that regard. When their leader dies, they start calling for strikes due to which common men suffers a lot and they curse and abuse those leaders who pass away.
Why don’t they think that their calls for strike deprive a lot of people of their daily wages or earnings, patients are unable to go to hospitals and women are unable to cook food due to unavailability of groceries etc? The law enforcement agencies must perform their duties responsibly and take some serious steps in order to stem these increasing strikes.
