Blood Sport

The government of the people, by the people, for the people is out with providing another relief to the suffering lot of the country by allowing Basant to be celebrated, of course as a festival. Even though the lot mostly consists of the people anxious for an old promise to be fulfilled, that of Roti, Kapra aur Makaan, and who may not be able to celebrate it as they used to in antiquity but why ‘the others’ should be deprived if opportunities for recreation?

I mean, what recreation is left in this country! Basant should certainly be celebrated even though it might cost a few needless lives who may fall a victim to the sharp string, be crashed under a vehicle as a kite runner or the enthusiasts who fall off the roof. And not to forget that livelihood of several thousands depends on this yearly festival so why deprive them in a situation when shadow of hunger has engulfed what was left of humanity in the hapless country.

So the nation should celebrate the festival with great fervor and it would be great if it be celebrated under the patronage of the government considering the terrorist threats. Besides, who knows if any approaching night might also draw curtains for the government so keep providing relief when the opportunity is there.

    It is ‘Basant’ by ‘Bey-santa’

  2. Arias on March 12th, 2009 :

    Salman taseer, the shabi , zaani, likes these things, it was clear the b**tard would allow the basant to be carried out on official level,

    now there will be an active bazaar of call girls being hired twice or thrice their uasual prices,

    ST yeh sab kuch dekh ker kitna khush ho ga!

    It was an attempt to divert attention of Lahoriites from the current imbroglio.

  6. Asfand on March 14th, 2009 :

    SALMAAN TASEER IS AN EXCELLENT ADMINISTRATOR, A PATRIOTIC PAKISTAN! WE’RE PROUD OF HIM.

    AS FOR BASANT, IT IS A FESTIVE IDENTITY OF LAHORE AND PUNJAB…..NOTHING WRONG IN ALLOWING PEOPLE THE RIGHT TO ENJOY

  7. Salma on March 14th, 2009 :

    Yes I agree that Salman Taseer is a very successful governor. Look how quickly he has cleared the mess created by Shahbaz Sharif government of 8 months.
