Problems of people and insensitivity of rulers

Problems of people and insensitivity of rulers

Rulers are supposed to address the problems of people but the case is different in Pakistan where rulers remain completely indifferent to the problems of people and remain busy in devising plans to prolong their rule.

Media is also responsible for that purpose as it also neglects the common problems of a layman who continues waiting to get attention of those who are in rule.

Political characters put a beautiful picture of their political parties showing that they are doing the right things while talking in different talk shows.

Government officials keep on blaming opposition and the leaders of the opposition accuse the corruption of ruling party and the dirty politics goes on in this manner.

Ironically, people arrange protests against the bad language used by a leader of one party for the president of Pakistan, but never do that for stopping the target killing, suicides and the terrorism.

Similarly, some party leaders always exaggerate the steps they have taken for the welfare of the people of Punjab, but where is the prosperity? Are people happy in Punjab? The flood victims are still living as animals without having homes.

The poor condition of roads in the Southern Punjab reveals the performance of Punjab government. It seems that Lahore is the only priority for the government of Punjab and by doing developmental work in Lahore city; they assume that everything is fine in
the whole province.

Common people do not have any concern with what political artists say on political talk shows, which are being conducted by media only to get better ranking and generate revenue.

How many programmes are there which address the problems of a layman living in a village which is just 50 kilometres away from a big city? The same situation exists in the whole country.

A layman wants employment, electricity, and availability of basic amenities of life on affordable prices, education, justice, rights and many other basic things.

However, resulting from the indifference of rulers, all a common man he is getting at the moment is unemployment, discrimination, starvation, illiteracy, injustice and many other disapproving things.

Officials say that in the current year the economy of Pakistan has become better as compared to the precious year. However, the condition of the common people has become much worst as compared to the previous year.

What a layman has got to do with the economic growth when he is being forced to live a life which is no more than the life of animals.

The political talk shows, a great source of entertainment for the so-called intellectual elite, are worthless for a common man as the real issues never become the topic of discussion in these artificial talk shows.

The only purpose of these talk shows is to get higher ratings among competitors and to generate as much revenue from commercial ads as possible.

Now, time has arrived for politicians and media to think what is in the best interest of nation before the common people took step against them. Address the issues of a layman and resolve their issues for which they elect their representatives.
