Prime Minister of Pakistan narrated his achievements on TV at the function of facilities afforded to small farmers and congratulated his Minister of Finance on his success. In response the finance minister squirmed in his chair with obvious happiness. This, however, amounts to a blind man distributing “reverries” repeatedly to his kith and kin. Who does not know that Mr Dar is a close relative of Prime Minister and he cannot be totally objective about Mr Dar’s performance.
The Prime Minister recounted his success story while the public perception is in the reverse direction with a lack of pre-emption of sordid events like killing of helpless people in a bus in Karachi lately. Why the high sounding claims of prime minister could not be matched with intelligence failure of his minions to arrest the terrorists now blamed for their inhuman atrocities. Where is the national security plan for integration of intelligence agencies. There is nothing on the ground to show that everything in Pakistan is hunky dory. Why is Chief Minister Sindh still in his seat despite his failure to protect the lives of the citizens of Karachi who are being slaughtered as sitting ducks. This all requires answers long overdue from the prime minister.
