Irregular Noise and Sudden Silence

(Muhammad Ali, Lahore)

Pakistani people have unique attitude towards government. They blame the government on media, but in bazaar they have different mood. They condemn the government decisions in words, but in practice they accept it.

Our politician are familiar with individualism attitude of Pakistani people. They raise voice in favor of public and against government only when the see public mood on media. They know that this protest in real word is " Media Protest".

Whatever have I said all above is not vague. In the start of November, federal government raised prices of petroleum products. What was the response,"Irregular Noise and Sudden Silence"

Opposition strictly opposed it just for point scoring. They raised voice, not for public but for themselves. Poor public oppose it for media presentation. They say they reject the increment and then give a 100 rupee for refueling. Both opposition and public are cheating one another. No one is sincere.

Just look towards India. Indian government raised price of petroleum products, and both people and opposition forcefully reject the addition. What they did, you could see it on you tube.

We must accept this fact if our politicians are not our well wisher then we ourselves are not sincere. Why we pay the high price. Answer is that either we have more income or we cannot do anything. We forget the fact that real strength of a country is its people, no army, government or any third party,

just have a quick overview on government petrol price regulation. Government says it is linked with international market and we have no control over it. Now see some calculation about core price factor of oil;

One USA oil barrel have= 159 liters
dollar price of one barrel=86
Current dollar exchange rate=85
barrel price in pak rupee=86*85= 7310
one liter crude oil price= 7310/159 =45.97

Above calculation is based on current month data. Now see what ever other charges we on add, it cannot become 74 per liter. Imagine what els we are paying.

People and opposition both raised voice on any inflationary trend in the country but practically do nothing. We are irregular people with temporal behaviors. We forget everything after a short interval. How can we claim a change while we have;
"Irregular Noise and Sudden Silence"
