Today
is the day when the five-year term of President Asif Ali Zardari has come to an
end (writing this blog in the evening).
See
the today’s newspapers. I guess almost in every paper there is a full-page ad.
I saw 4 newspapers: Jang, Express, The News, The Express Tribune. The ad has
been given by the Sindh Government, where Peoples Party is the ruling party.
In
the ad with a photo of Asif Ali Zardari is printed:
I
translate: “The trustee / preserver of democratic traditions”
Then
the “achievements and the accomplishments” of this “trustee / preserver” has
been counted.
In the
end is printed:
Sharjeel
Inaam Memon
Minister
for Information and Archives, Commerce and Industries
Government
of Sindh
Obviously,
Sharjeel Memon did not pay for these ads eulogizing his mentor. Nor the Peoples
Party! This was done at the cost of taxpayers of the Sindh province.
I
think there is no moral justification for such acts.
This
is Political Parasitism, and is like grabbing free lunches. Indeed, Pakistani
politicians are but Political Parasites, living and thriving at the cost of
their voters and citizens!
