The nation needs a messiah
The image above shows only a glimpse of the guardians of the Musharraf dispensation dutifully protecting their master’s ideology of “Enlightened Moderation”. This image appeard in the daily Jang of 27th April, 2007 as part of a coverage of a meeting of the Karachi City Council. The man (read the wild beast) on rampage is the Town Nazim of Baldia Town UC 8, Salman Baloch and the woman is supposedly a member of the opposition benches. Jang reports that apart from the incident shown in the picture, members of the treasury benches also beat some other opposition members.
The hollowness of this system never fails to amuse us and attest to its usefulness. The government never misses an opportunity to praise itself on any issue including human rights, but behind the scenes it’s all the same, rather worse. When assemblies and public representatives show such characteristics and behaviours, may God have mercy on the people who are ruled by such uncivilized and ill – disciplined bootlickers.
