Strange place this world is. We all live like there is no end for us. We all strive so hard here just to get ourselves in the graves with bare hands. We all spend all our lives just to make the life better.
Benazir Bhutto, who was assassinated on last Thursday in the ominous Liaquat Bagh, Rawalpindi remained the Prime Minister of Pakistan for two times, and both times she was ousted on the corruption charges. In her last time, her brother was murdered and his widow blamed Benazir and her husband Asif Ali Zardari for it. Nusrat Bhutto was also muzzled, as she was also reported to be thinking of coming to active politics.
With the brutal and spineless slaying of Benazir, all that talk about Swiss accounts, French and Spanish property, and not to forget the Surrey Palace has been ditched for now. It’s not appropriate to throw mud on the deceased, but its not equally appropriate to become blind with emotions and guilt.
Well, whatever happened on 27th December was something nobody could support. But we should equally remember the past. There is a great deal of lesson in it for our rulers, leaders, and king makers. All these wealth, power and pelf they have amassed will not help them, when the end comes. All these lush palaces, limos, protocols and greenbacks will remain here, while they will be buried under tons of mud.
After the three days of mourning, plundering, looting, arson, and killing life seems to be coming back to normal. People have started to resume their lives. I wonder what they are doing in interior Sindh after burning their own banks, utility stores, telephone exchanges, courts, and other infrastructure. Well miscreants did it? They came from Mars or were they from Israel or India? Let’s don’t deceive ourselves. It was we who burnt our own home, and it was we who plundered our own city, and burned it down just for the heck of it.
Do we deserve the reconstruction?
