Corruption of rulers and plight of layman

Corruption of rulers and plight of layman

The rulers of any nation are supposed to address the problems of people but the case is different in Pakistan where they are completely indifferent to the problems of people and are busy in devising plans to prolong their rule and accumulate wealth through
corruption.

In this process, media is also responsible as it also neglects the common problems of a layman who continues waiting to get attention of those who are in rule.

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

The officials in the government 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.

A layman does 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. His only concern is what the current rulers are doing for him.

Sarcastically, 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.

Likewise, 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.

Miserable condition of roads in the Southern Punjab reveals the performance of Punjab government.

For Punjab government, Lahore seems to be the only priority for development and by doing developmental works in Lahore; the officials assume that everything is fine in the whole province.

Just think that how many programmes are out 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.

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

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

The officials always say that in the current year the economy of Pakistan is getting better as compared to the precious year but the condition of the common people is getting worst as compared to the previous year.

Where is the progress for a common man and what he has got to do with the economic growth when he is being forced to live a life like animals.

So-called 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.

At present, people are fully aware of the corruption and incompetency of rulers and those who have been making general masses a fool will no longer remain in power in the near future.
