Non legislative
President
When William Hague visited Lahore in July 2013, he tweeted “Lahore
is Paris” which became a cause of my laughter but, now when our President is on
official tour of China, I want to cry!
If he would have shown some concern and seriousness to tackle
the situation of the country, since he became President, we all would not be in
a passive “state of emergency”.
When President Mamnoon met the top Chinese legislator Zhang Dejiang, both
leaders pledged to strengthen the friendly engagement between the two neighbor
countries. Zhang who is the Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s
Congress (NPC) said that the two sides need to enrich their strategic
partnership and upgrade bilateral cooperation.
But when our President affirmed Zhang’s statements and stated
that Pakistan is ready to enhance communication with China’s legislative body,
I would like our President to read Article 232 and 247 with a clear vision
where to steer the country?
Every citizen of Pakistan is mentally burdened with what will
happen next? Are we safe to step out of our home? When media is attacked so
openly, then who shall write for the truth? In the end who shall read?
When the cause itself is so grave then to discuss its evils
would be a never ending process. Therefore we shall land in a pile of letters
to apologists – if timely and effective legislations do not take precedence in
government’s agenda and are “not bulldozed” on rainy days, raising questions on
the Protection of Pakistan Ordinance beyond its horrors.
