Ever wondered why?
By HAJRA SAEED October 8, 2008 October 8, 2005 was the darkest day in the history of Pakistan. The country was hit by a deadly earthquake, that too in the holy month of Ramazan (month of blessings), and we still have not recovered from its aftermath. While now for the past one and a half-year Pakistan is going through a terrible period. We are facing severe crisis on many fronts.
Foremost, not only has the country has been rocked by suicide bombings which has resulted in the loss of thousands of innocent lives, there is a grave and critical situation in the tribal areas as well. Then there has been acute shortage of electricity and wheat with a predicted one of gas in the coming winters.
Prices of consumer items, petrol and gold are astronomical. The value of rupee has depreciated greatly with dollar and pound reaching the highest. While the latest addition is the devastating bomb blast in Islamabad leaving Marriott Hotel in ruins.
On the surface it may seem as though various social, political or economic factors are responsible for the present state-of-affairs, while we also may lay blame on Indians, Americans and the Taliban, but have you ever really wondered why all this is happening?
