A Depressing Week

Our country is going through turmoil. Natural disasters and target killings have become regular. I knew at least four people in the tragic plane crash and till now we do not know exactly what happened to the plane. What was wrong with the aircraft? Some say missiles were fired or it was hijacked while others say the runway was busy so the pilot was asked to take another round and come back later. Then villages were swept away and more than 1,500 people died due to the floods. Why has the government not come to the aid of the victims? While our president is travelling to the UK, the people of his country are dying of poverty and hunger. A provincial legislator was shot dead in a Karachi mosque, which is meant to be a place of worship and security. People need to stand up and voice their opinions against such tragic incidents before it is too late. Pakistan does not need Political wars now, it needs peace, a peace to hold people together and fight the calamities which have brutally struck us. It’s useless playing the blame game now, Pakistan needs support, support of its local people.
