From the stock of political jokes of Pakistani politicians comes a new joke. But before we get to it, let’s have a flashback. Our beloved President and Prime Minister are still spending as much money as they can on all the perks, gloss and glitters that they can get their hands on. In the last 6 years alone the President and PM house expenditure combined was at least Rs.860 Million. Now be imaginative and add up the cost of all the Governors, Chief Ministers, Ministers, Secretaries, advisors, their families, servants, dogs, and cats.
The last government had for itself 80 federal ministers; I wonder why the previous government did not induct 20 more for it would have been a century of its own kind. Well now something special has happened, the newly elected Baluchistan Assembly has taken for itself 32 ministers. This is the ugliest joke in a series of jokes that the beloved citizens of this country are used to.
What will Baluchistan do with 32 ministers; well I am sure they will all be busy squandering every single penny they can get hold off. Oh yea if they ever get tired of looting and plundering, some time can be spared to make two teams and play 20-20 cricket match, oh yeah I forgot there’s actually no stadium in Baluchistan where you can play cricket. Well there is one in Quetta; it’s more like an abandoned piece of land. 32 ministers for Baluchistan, so we can all imagine how many more will follow for other provinces.
Bush runs USA with 20 cabinet members, out of which 15 are Secretaries (Ministers), and 5 are equivalent of Secretary. Unfortunately we need more ministers than US Government.
This latest God Damn charade in the name of democracy will not last long in Pakistan, Inflation is 25%, and rising and the Wiseman of Gotham have no solution for solving any ills of the society. Actually I am sorry I forgot they are not there to solve the problem of the rotting people or hungry rib bludgeoning tummies, or patients suffering from power outages in government hospital wards, or those who are about to end their lives out of sheer helplessness and misery. King Goon Nawaz, and his Tag team thug Zardari, are here with the lot to fill their bellies with as much flesh of Pakistani people as they can. There after they can rest in peace in there villas in Switzerland, Saudi, UK, Dubai where ever they may be.
Let us remind our audience that right after the 98 Nuclear Tests, Nawaz imposed emergency, then froze all foreign currency accounts of citizens of this traumatized nation. For himself he made sure that banks were open as late as 4 am, so that money could be transferred into his off shore bank accounts. I am sure he needed it when he was living in comfort in Saudi, and habitually performing Umrah.
Our beneficent Mr. 10%, who claims he is here to change the system, (whoever believes that bunch of bulls***, is either high, or receiving personal checks from Z Party, [in fact, Mr. Hamid Mir believes in Zardari, God bless his intellect, or save him from whatever he has been smoking]). Coming back to point yeah Zardari, hmm what can we say, Horses from Argentina, Villas in UK, Dubai, Swiss accounts, 5 sugar mills under his belt in Sind, making him virtual monopolist of sugar in Sind.
With Finance Minister saying that fuel cost to be increase further 25%, serious power crisis looming over our heads, severe food shortages expected, PPP and MQM ready to test each other’s muscles, and last but not the least the never die, Hollywood style lawyers movement raging to go after the red cloth like a bull I am sure we are in for a great journey under the umbrella of Democracy.
