While Pakistanis starve and die every day due to hunger, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has withdrawn cases against Fouzia Gilani, wife of Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani. According to DAWN and the Daily Times, the amount involved is Rs. 171.63 million plus interest for over twenty years.
This is the kind of money which would have been enough to feed at least a million people for a day. It may be remembered that only a few days back, a man and a ten year old boy were killed in a stampede as they were trying to get subsidized flour.
This is a sure recipe for disaster. Those who rule the country consider themselves above the law and go on looting the country. I don’t think we need any more proof that Pakistan is a failing state.
