Escapism
(Sania Nazir, Rawalpindi)
The state of our country is in
crucial stage. Our prime minister don't miss even a single chance to hide
himself from these circumstances. From public point of view, he should confront
the general public in the matter of Panama leaks. On the contrary he takes the
way of escapism to make no confrontation. We talk about democracy, justice,
accountability and transparency. But where does the accountability go when it is
needed? It's just for those people who are already accountable. For our prime
minister, to confront accountability appears to seem like a Herculean task. He
appears to be interested in tours. It's pity that our people haven't yet awaken
from slumber.They don't have any interest in national affairs.They don't make
efforts to check governmental issues.I don't understand why are the people
wholly not interested about this matter. On the other hand, Our judiciary is no
less than our people. They have forgotten that "justice delayed is justice
denied". They just know how to beat about the bush. Democracy is called a
government of common people. But it doesn't seem our government is a government
of common people. It doesn't seem even a democracy. It appears to us a
dictatorship. Where no one is allowed to check the dictator. He is free to do
what he wants to do. But he'll do what he wants but very miserably what we will
do. I think we have one way out of this labyrinth, and that is by not thinking
any more about this issue. We will also have to find escapism to not take no
trouble on our part.We should not jolt our minds to think but to keep calm and
relaxed , because we think it's not the matter of our interest. This matter, in
my sense, doesn't matter. To my part, ignorance is bliss.
