It Runs in the Family

Hum apna pait kaat kr aap ka pait bharein gay (We shall cut down our morsel to give it to you)

Hum uss waqt tak chain se nahi bethein gay jub tak aap ki takleef door na kar dein gay  (we shall not rest in peace till we bring relief to your miseries)  so announced Bilawal Zardari Bhutto at Mithi, Thar the other day which was reminiscent of emotional but hollow frenzies of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto like Roti Kapra aur Makan which is till date looking askance after more than four decades now.

Young Bilawal you have a long way to go.  Don’t make promises that you may not be able to keep.  What to talk of cutting down your morsels, you would not even remember  the famine stricken faces the moment you are back in the lavishness and opulence of the Bilawal House with tons of delicious food around.   If at all you wish to be a true leader of these wretched poor people just arrange to return a part of the Swiss Bank account of your Co-Chairman to them, pleeeeeease.
