Rash
promises
Iwas dismayed to read in your daily that there
might be another mid-term poll. Another mobilization of millions of rupees from the
national treasury, just because the politicians could not put their heads together? Does
this nation have to be bled of its limited income to make the politicians happy? Just
because we have friendly generous countries to help us in many ways does not mean that we
should take advantage of their generosity by spending a huge amount of money in elections
in which usually the same people get elected. All the parties claim their plans will
enhance the status of the country. If they have the same purpose, why can’t they put
their heads together and seek the best for the country?
I would like to request the leaders, who claim
to be the custodians of this country, to try eliminate the greatest disease called AIDS
(Acquired Interpersonal relationship Deficiency Syndrome) the mankind confronts. For this,
they have to free themselves from the clutches of self-interests. Leaders have been voted
for on the basis of their visions, which was at one time the main cause of their
imprisonment. But the same people now fight among themselves, and betray us and the
country.
