Actually they want to divert public attention from the real issues like Inflation, Power shortage, Law and order etc, this is why they are dragging the issue of reinstatement of deposed judges .This is what an old man was saying when I asked him about his opinion on recent political scenario. This is what masses of Pakistan are thinking about the recent political situation in Pakistan.
We daily listen politicians saying and they don’t tired of saying that “The issue of deposed judges is a national issue and public is really curious about this issue” but when we go into streets and do survey about public opinion we discover altogether different situation. People are curious about next meal, how will they get that? Flour that was Rs15/kg some days ago now is Rs 20/kg, 20 Kg Bag that was Rs300 is now Rs 375. If we talk about Rice it was Rs60 to 70 per Kg some days ago but now it is more than Rs100/Kg.
Power shortage is another grave problem faced by our country, is hurting our industry and especially our general public very badly.Goverment should solve this problem as early as possible because general public can’t afford generators as their prices are now touching skies. New government has promised to add 3000MW of electricity in next one year lets see what happens.
Public is really puzzled about the situation on ground, on one day our politicians say that all is decided only we have to sign the agreement but other day Ruling Coalition breaks, if everything is decided then why so much delay? Need of hour is that politicians should solve this Judicial issue as early as possible because our public wants solution of this problem very soon and they want attention of our rulers towards their real problems such as inflation, power crisis, law and order. After all our public has given them huge mandate in the Elections 2008 to solve their problems.
