VIP culture

Published October 24, 2014

IMRAN Khan came all over from Islamabad for a public meeting, but not a single shop was closed on the plea of security. Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari came from Karachi’s DHA to the Mazar-i-Quaid for a public meeting but the whole city had to undergo some sort of difficulty.

My friend’s examination was scheduled on Saturday but was cancelled as containers had been set up to block the road for security. If Bilawal is a leader of the youth, why isn’t he paying any attention to our career?

This is VIP culture which should have no place in Pakistan.
