Enough is Enough

Every Tom, Dick and Harry of a politician lets go of no opportunity in making fool of the masses in the name of democracy.  Any legit criticism of the govt. or a political party for their plunder and corruption, appalling law and order situation in the country, poor and bad governance, dwindling economy, closure of industries, ever increasing prices of commodities and utilities, unemployment, power and gas shortage, long queues at the CNG stations and yet at the same time their unabashedly shameful and callous extravagant and Nawab like life style, perks and privileges, foreign tours - official and private - Hajjes and every other day Umeras at govt. expense, etc. etc. are projected by them as yet another effort at the weakening of the democracy and usurpation of the rights of those who elect them!  Oh, for God’s sake, why don’t these good for nothing nincompoops and visionless self eulogizing avaricious so called leaders  come out straight that th eir only and only concern is how to either get or remain in power for another five years or so to fill in their family coffers for their coming next seven generations?  Why must they harangue on the hollow words like democracy and all power to the awaam etc. into it?  Why can’t they be honest for a change and admit that all that they are doing and maneuvering is just to get themselves elected and rule over the same hapless awaam whom they promise stars but do not give them even dust to eat once they are returned  to the power?  What a shameless breed of critters they are?

Oh, Allah – the most merciful – when shall You show Your mercy and get us rid of such unethical and greedy persons and bless us with the leaders who could place the wellbeing of the masses and good of the country before their own selves!

Someday someone like that will sure be there on our national horizon, ameen.
