MEDIA, OPINIONS AND REALITIES

The opinions in the media from the experienced columnists are a revelation for the readers and viewers while publishing and presenting our view about the current establishment opens up the debate where everyone’s opinion should be respected. A quote of Mark Twain strikes a chord in my mind, ‘Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment, ’the people of Pakistan have been bitten venomously by the ‘snake of power politics’ since six decades and are determined to exterminate it this time. Since, the political crisis has started, business and investment has ‘stalled’ in the country. Manufacturing industries are losing orders and paying hefty fines for the orders they have taken because they are unable to complete it on time due to shortage of electricity. Pakistan had grown adequate wheat which would have kept the supply ‘hale and hearty’ for an year but the government ‘smuggled’ it by selling at half than the value due to which the lower class escapes from work daily for the reason that they have to line up to the utility stores in order to get their ration of flour . Thinking about the mothers of the soldiers who we take pride in die on the battlefield-fighting a war which is killing us- makes every heart cry out screamingly. The people who Musharaf oust in 1999 are his allies for more than five years now. The people of Pakistan are not sightless and can see everything very clearly. In the 21st century, no tyrant can pull the wool over somebody's eyes because media illustrates the realities in a blaze which clears the vision. The approach in which Musharaf has become obstinate and ignorant to the fact that he has to take care of his people reminds me what Winston Churchill said ‘A fanatic is one, who can't change his mind and won't change the subject,’ this quote is dead right for him.
