The Arrests!

The headlines that propped up on my Facebook newsfeed were about how absolutely amazing Imran Khan is as both Zardari, Nawaz and Altaf Hussein are in jail now. What I remember is that the political party said that they are not interfering in the judicial system… but if that was soo, how can some political party take credit for some politicians in jail. Weird though, how only ‘some’ people are in jail, how only some (read two) Generals are convicted and how just those judges, who pointed at the most prestigious institution of the country, are targeted!

The things that are marginalised in the chaos of all this mayhem, was the budget! The most weird thing is that the Prime Minister addressed the nation saying that the economy is under control and we are going in the right direction from now on. What they failed to explain was ‘how?’ They didn’t explain the need for an outsider for the position of the head of the State Bank of Pakistan. They did not throw any light on things that they have promised to the IMF.

Questions remain unanswered. The state of Madina that was promised, seems like a forgotten dream.
