Fight For Chairs: From Parliament To Public

As far I think, the inventor of the most important element of furniture, chair, just wanted to make people feel comfortable, but he might be weeping in grave now to see the sheer misuses of his product in Pakistan.

Chair has become a bone of contention among our people. You see wars, riots, conspiracies, blame games, frauds, corruption and leg-pulling from top to bottom just for the sake of chair—-be it Prime Minister’s chair or a public meeting chair. This four-leg
element has turned all sleepless and restless.

The way the frenzied public were wrangling for chairs at the end of Imran Khan’s meeting in Kasur is evident of the value and worth of chairs. Set the funny aspect aside, the mess that happened in Kasur yesterday depicts our nation’s mental frustration and
dissatisfaction.

But this frustration is not self-born, it is a result of the years of oppression and exploitation. Moreover, the Public, which is always prone to mimicry everything, follows the acts of its ‘leaders’ and replicate them in this way.

Actually, this country is marked with plundering—- both the public and the administration are collecting with both hands what they see in surroundings, be it natural resource, national treasure, taxes or personal possessions. Here, everyone is vying to
rob the other. It is hard to identify oppressed or tyrant, robber or robbed, killer or killed and usurper or deprived—-all are intermingled.

Though the problem exists everywhere but its root lies in the parliament where tug of war is always on for treasury benches. Since the inception of the state, it has been a trend that every opposition always endeavour to pull down the ruling party by hook
or crook—-it is done for heinous self-interests, not for the cause of betterment as it is often dubbed.

To me, a person who struggles for becoming ruler or gaining political influence can never be honest and fair. And those who deserve to rule do not bother about it at all. This is a strange but factual equation.

At this moment, where every single Pakistani is crying for change, the country does not need any politician because he cannot remove our sufferings. What we need is a Dervish (saint) who may detect all problems with the eyes of his heart and then solve everything
with the power of his love and sprit.

This will seem nonsense and stupid to at least 99 percent Pakistanis and intellectuals, but there is no other solution at all. No, no, never.
