Religion, World, Wealth Or Zardari?
(Hafiz Muhammad Noman, Karachi)
A very amusing incident has
taken place in the examination of matriculation, Lahore Board that a question in
the paper of Urdu subject for grade nine (9) was asked “what is the system of
life based on?” (Nizam-e-Zindagi kis cheez per qayam he?) and the options for
the answer of the question were “religion, world, wealth or Zardari Sahab?”
The section consists of objective questions included this question and perhaps
the question was asked in order to ridicule or make fun of the president, Asif
Ali Zardari. It feels that everybody in the country is fed up with the policies
of the president or PPP government and surely this ridiculous question can be a
reaction of confusion created by the government.
Lahore board has issued clarification concerning the issue that the paper was
prepared by Dera Ghazi Khan Board whereas investigation about the incident has
started and if someone is found guilty, he will be punished according to law.
However, the issue is being highlighted by Pakistani media whereas people of
Pakistan after a long time have been entertained through such an incident in
this era of confusion.
