NAWAZ SHARIF VERSUS BABAR AWAN
(Hafiz Muhammad Noman, Karachi)
The political scenario in
Pakistan has been changed. As PPP has spent its four years in the governance and
Pakistan political parties’ eyes are on the coming elections, Pakistan
Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz Group (PMLN), Pakistan
Peoples Party (PPP) and others are rallying and arranging public meetings to
attract public’s attention towards their rhetorical speeches. The politics of
cross-allegations have hugely been started among the political parties to
humiliate or disgrace one another in the eyes of the nation.
Recently Nawaz Sharif addressed to a public meeting in Dhobi Ghat, Faisalabad
and claimed rhetorically to apply ointment on the injuries of the nation. He
vowed to heal the nation’s sorrows claiming that he would root out corruption
and bring the corrupt leaders into book. Will he bring himself into book what he
did in the past? Didn’t he embezzle during his governance? Anyhow, he imposed
various allegations on PPP and Asif Ali Zardari that are surely true as the
nation fortunately is awake now. The sitting government has pushed Pakistan into
darkness. Corruption, inflation, energy crisis, gas load shedding, hike in
petrol prices and various other crises have engulfed Pakistan due to PPP’s wrong
policies. Unfortunately we daily listen to various accords signed by the sitting
governments concerning trade issues, energy issues and others but the accords
disappear from the sight after a short time why?!
Countering the Nawaz Sharif’s address, a liar but a lawyer from PPP Mr. Babar
Awan immediately called on a press conference. He alleged on Nawaz Sharif that
his public meeting in Faisalabad was a trial of the graves of PPP’s martyred
whereas he castigated saying that General Zia-ul-Haq spoke against Bhutto in
disguise of Nawaz Sharif’s accent. How disgusting it is! Perhaps Mr. Awan has
forgotten his own tenure when he used to be secretary of Zia-ul-Haq and made
speeches in Dhobi Ghat on behalf of the late general. Now he speaks against the
general because of his seat and other interests in PPP and forgot his former
messiah!
Anyway, the rhetorical speeches cannot solve the nation’s problems whereas
suicide and self-immolation has been increased in this government. I with the
whole nation want to condemn these politicians who just speak and do nothing for
the nation. Also Mr. Babar Awan should leave the politics of martyred and start
politics of the alive. The PPP government always refers to their martyred but
why not they think of the alive who are losing their lives due to bad governance
and policies?! Think of it!
