Bilawal’s  Raving Rants

 

Col. Syed Riaz Jafri (Retd)

 

BILAWAL’S EAR-PIERCING SHRIEKS AND RANTS

 

Could someone please advise, educate,  train and rehearse  Bilawal Zardari in the art of  public speaking and not let him holler and howl,  shriek and scream without any intonation, cadence or modulation in a rather comical exuberance for a public leader that he aspires to be and who becomes not only a bland monotonous lackluster but quite laborious and strenuous for the ears to listen to him.

 

His speeches leave me with little option but to switch channels.

Encroachments

Encroachments

by

 

Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)

 

 

According to media reports and telecasts quite a lot of demolition work is being carried out all over in various cities and towns of the Punjab to clean up and widen the roads and bazaars by flattening the illegal encroachments.  Whereas on the one hand it is a welcome step but on the other millions and possibly billions have been lost by some.  The question arises how, why and by whom was it all allowed in the first instance?  The municipal Inspectors are known for their hawk’s eye to detect even an inch of transgression of a door or a gate of a house under construction, then how can such huge structures like hotels and showrooms are ignored?  Even a Kindergartner would smell corruption in such a scheme of affairs.

Demolishing the encroachments is, therefore, not enough.  The concerned Municipal and Cantonment officials MUST also be RUTHLESSLY demolished to serve as a severe and exemplary deterrent for others in future.

LETTER TO EDITOR December 28th, 2017 Benazir Murder

Benazir Murder

 

A blame game for the ‘murder’ of Benazir Bhutto has erupted between Bilawal and Musharraf where Bilawal holds Musharraf as the murderer and Musharraf throws the blame squarely on the shoulders of Zardari.  If Musharraf was the killer why was he not tried for it by the Zardari 5 year government? There are tons and tons of evidence available which if sifted even cursorily could easily pinpoint the real culprit.  A very simple question that comes to one’s mind is, “would BB have died had she not showed up out of the roof hatch of the bulletproof vehicle?”   The most probable answer is “no” as the other five in the vehicle survived the blast.  Then who asked her to stand up and show herself out of the roof hatch?  Most certainly not Musharraf PERIOD.

August 11, 2017 LETTER TO EDITOR PML (N) Rally

LETTER TO EDITOR

PML (N) Rally

 

On a serious note, the spectacle of the fiasco met by the PML-N rally in which neither they could stick to any timings, nor the announced schedule of halts enroute or the public addresses by MNS or the over night stays or attract the crowds visualized by the planners, makes one wonder if their entire leadership – big and small put together cannot plan and execute a simple event of a rally from Pindi to Lahore then how could they be entrusted with the governance of a country involving Planning and Execution of hundreds of National Projects of much more import and many times magnitude or for that matter with the vital and crucial defence of the country from both internal and external threats?!

Aren’t we taking too dire a risk by entrusting the country into the hands of such nincompoops?
