Have you ever traveled on G.T Road (Grand Trunk Road) from Rawalpindi to Lahore or Peshawar? It will take your 5 to 6 hours towards Lahore and 4 to 5 hours towards Peshawar. I am talking about the present day of 2011. Motorway was built in late 90s. Just Imagine If motorway is not present today, the whole traffic burden will be on G.T road than how much time a person will take to reach Lahore or Peshawar either from Rawalpindi?
We all know that India is our prime enemy; India doesn’t accept the presence of Pakistan even. India called Pakistan a strike on the chest of his mother land; Hindustan. India started his nuclear program in early 70s. In response to Indian aggression and to maintain the level of power in the South Asian region; Pakistan has to follow the same practice, and today with the help of Allah we are also a nuclear power (Alhumdulilla).
Now the point to ponder; Mian Nawaz Sharif claims that he gifted the project of motorway to Pakistan, Mian Sahab has been taking the credit of nuclear tests back in 1998 at Chaghi, Balochistan. Pakistan Peoples Party claims that Z.A. Bhutto was the founder and originator of Pakistan’s nuclear program. What kind of twisted illogical rubbish is that? I am quoting these two examples for reference only. These two issues were the need of Pakistan at that point of time. If these parties were not in power at that time, some other will do it. Because it was the huge need and in the greatest interest of Pakistan. Like when the size of the family increases with time; there needs and requirements also increased so the head of the family have to work more for the interest of his family to fulfill their requirements. But he didn’t take credit or never ask for a reward from his family because he knows that it is the requirement of his family now. Remember he have to fulfill all the family requirements through his own resources.

| What kind of message he want to give, the fountain bucket is very heavy or he have a lot of spoons on expanse of our tax money? |
We all know about the wealth of Nawaz Shariff and Asif Ali Zardari, how much tax they paid; Hippocrates. Nawaz Sharif pays only 5000 RS annually, even I pay more tax than him and I have no comparison to him w.r.t wealth.I don’t want to comment on President Zardari, I have no reservations for him, why? (Just understand the meaning of his name in URDU, Zar means wealth and Daar means keeper,, result is Zardari; wealth keeper) Had they started and completed these programs with their own pocket? We the people of Pakistan are fool; who claps for them on their idiotic and senseless acting on the national stage just like a child do after getting a new toy. These projects were completed from our national resources not from their personal wealth. So why to thank them?
Just visit your surrounding localities, you will found the name plates of Ministers, MNAs, MPAs or even General Counselers and Nazims on roads, schools, hospitals, bridges even on sewerage plants and drains. Isn’t it strange? These are our representatives in assemblies. We choose them for legislation and they are wasting our national resources first on the foundation of the project than on the inauguration ceremonies of the projects. Do you know who will bear the travel expanses of their lavish visits?
I mentioned in my earlier articles that there is a huge institutional imbalance right from the beginning of Pakistan. The roles and duties of the departments should be clearly defined and implemented. There should be no ambiguity or clash between the roles. The role of these so called democratic politicians are to make legislation for the country not to inaugurate the projects, these inaugurations and development projects are the duty of concerned departments like CDA, C & W, FWO, PWD etc. After 64 years of Pakistan, they didn’t make the judicial system for Pakistan. We are still using the British Law here in Pakistan with some minor modifications. Have a look on Police act, Labor law, Judiciary, Revenue Department etc; they all are obsolete, nothing to do with the present circumstances of Pakistan and its requirements.
I have two suggestions for them, first the political persons should be forbidden to attend the inauguration ceremonies of the development projects and making them a political gathering. These activities should be done by the Gazetted officers of the Government. Second, each minister should have to show the performance report of his concerned ministry to the media and public.
