VIP movement

Published November 19, 2017

CAUSING inconvenience to citizens because of VIP movement has become so common a trend that the public dreads their movement.

Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi’s visit to Quetta on Nov 14 caused a massive traffic jam in the city that lasted for several hours. That is not all; many educational institutions and markets situated along the route between Quetta airport and the governor house were ordered closed.

On behalf of all Pakistanis, I ask the prime minister to order an end to this VIP movement practice which is a big nuisance for the public.

May equality prevail in our Islamic republic!
