I call on people to hold government responsible.
by: Ali Nawaz Memon, Gaithersburg, Maryland
For too long we have complained but have taken little practical steps to hold our government responsible. By this I mean elected officials– President; Prime Minister; ministers; MNAs; MPAs; secretaries; DCOs; police chiefs; all the way down to clerks and all others who have oppresses and neglected people.
We have waited too long. Waited for election of our own parties and personally known ministers. Not much has happened. OUR RULERS KNOW THAT WE DO NOT HAVE POLITICAL OPTIONS AND WE SHALL NOT TAKE ANY ACTION. But enough is enough.
Let us have an active people who are doers. I urge you to unite at local; district; province and national level.
Let us start by supporting good people in the forthcoming local body elections. Forget about which party they are from. Vote for good people who will work for welfare of our people. Judge individual candidates on basis of atleast what they have done to:
GET JOBS FOR OUR UNEMPLOYED PEOPLE
IMPROVE QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF EDUCATION
STOP CRIMNAL ACTIVITIES IN OUR AREA
STOP ROBBING OF PEOPLE THROUGH PERSONAL CORRUPTION
You can add more criteria as applicable in your area.
This morning I have watched a tragic video about what is happening to our people whose lands are producing most of oil and gas of our country. The video shows that disease and poverty has increased for those who are giving millions to our country. SHAME ON OUR GOVERNMENT WHO IS NOT ABLE TO SHARE THE WEALTH WITH LOCAL PEOPLE.
