Eulogies are always written by others. But on the 16th of January 2012 Pakistan’s National Assembly wrote an eulogy in its own praise.
If the purpose of writing this eulogy was to convince the people of Pakistan that they were lucky to be living in a democratic era and to be enjoying the benevolence of a parliament that regarded nothing higher and more sacred than their welfare, the whole exercise proved to be futile. This parliament has been in place for almost four years now, and in these years , the people of this country who are supposed to have voted their representatives into the assemblies have known nothing but ‘progressive misery’.
There is no era in living memory that brought so much deprivation, despair, desolation, desperation and despondency in the lives of the people of this country as has been witnessed in the years of this parliament which has given to this nation a government that has outperformed every other government of the world—-also its predecessors here—-in the areas of planned graft, engineered corruption and ruthless rape of rules and principles that go with good governance.
On the 16th of January, this parliament passed a resolution in its own praise for having achieved unprecedented landmarks in the areas mentioned above. Befittingly this self-congratulatory resolution was presented in the house by none other than the boss of the party of the man under whose ‘skillful’ management, Pakistan Railways has so successfully been transformed into a ‘thriving’ junkyard.
God bless this parliament.
God bless its eulogisers.
& God bless this nation
which has been condemned to endure the benevolence of those it has elected as its representatives.
