GB doctors are on strike again.in 2011 the then prime minister Gilani announced a special package for health personnel known as federal health package. he also announced establishment of medical college i GB in 2008 before council elections in GB.till now none of these promises fulfilled.the health sector of GB is the most neglected area where a large needed to be done.being the hardest area of Pakistan the people working in in all departments deserve special incentive packages.Can any body believe that 2 million people of GB don’t have a CT scan and MRI facility.poor patients have to rush to down country for minor ailments.Government of GB is run by bureaucrats from down country who are enjoying all the privileges and spend most of their time in China.Current political leaders are mostly thaikadars and are interested in kick backs only.i think it is the need of the hour for drastic changes and young politicians with vision and courage should come forward.
Dummy Assembly and chief minister when will you start
raising voice for the constitutional rights?
Gbians had many expectations with new set up that they would
set a noble example of governance where every common man feel relief regarding
all service delivery. But all these expectations and hopes were dashed by new
set up. We would do say that only 5 to 10 % political leaders were witnessed
raising voice against corruption and arguing in favour of GB. Remaining was
found to engage in dealings with corrupt element and agents who were collecting
money for corrupt figure heads of down country. Consequently all honorable professionals
have to come on road like teachers and doctor for demand of their legal rights.
Today I was shocked after reading the heading in the news
paper that provincial Government of GB has made agreement with federal
government to eliminate corruption in GB . It means that the GB political
leadership confessed that these four years they have spent in bad governance
and corruption. Today they are realizing and making agreement of its
elimination. My question would be that who will compensate this loss of four
years of GB nation who compromised on the cost of the future generation. My
suggestion with all such leaders not figure heads would be that they should
refund the illegal income in the treasury of nation and seek apologize from
nation on bad governance as you have confessed through agreement and hurtled
the GB nation adversely. This is lesson learning for forthcoming leaders as
well.
To meet with president or prime minister is a good thing but
the question is that to what extent they are successful to implement
announcements as formerly had made.
If the present Chief Secretary and his team would have not
taken the bold step against these corrupt elements so far GB have might sold in
the hands of some else. It is my humble
request with all political leadership whether those are figure heads or leaders
work for welfare of people and make GB a corruption free zone. Do not compel and
force Govt. professionals to do un due favour for personal interests. All we
need to reflect on our own actions to make a well balance and stable society in
country as well as in GB.
