Kerry Lugar Stays There, Media Moves Away to Greener Pastures
By Salman Mugsi • Oct 24th, 2009 • Category: Politics • 5 CommentsTV Talk shows have found other topics and the nation is still fumbling with the trail of debates which raged for weeks on the media channels and newspaper columns and it seemed that the media anchors will fight till their last breath to get the Kerry-Lugar Bill revoked.
Now the latest news is that without any change the Kerry Lugar Bill has been signed and the Pakistani cabinet has also approved it and just stopped short of passing a resolution to thank the US.
No media stalwart is raising hell now, as it seems that they have now got other breasts to milk. All those heated articles, editorials and opinions about the Kerry Lugar bill have become the thing of past.
This game of warm embraces and cold shoulders is just meant at sensationalize the poor people, who know that Kerry Lugar Bill or any such bill means nothing to them. It means a lot to the politicos, establishment and the media people, but nothing for the masses.
One wonders as how long the Pakistan’s weak and crumbling democracy, with its vulnerable leadership, and extremely poor social life in the face of growing threats will last.

beggars cant be choosers, buddy !…you should also move on
KL bill is tug of war between establishment (sponger) and US(briber) one wants to fulfill its condition for delivering that huge amount and the receivers are just transferring the burden of these donations to poor people of Pakistan.
I am very surprised that author is unaware of hot debates of KLB but you don’t watch that management is trying some tricky games behind the cover of KLB Like
Ignoring power shortages problems, presented NRO in assembly so might be disregarded in this mess, and all failures in security matters.sugar crisis etc
So I think this KLB might give benefits for real masses of Pakistan but ruling class definitely get share for which they are trying hard and facing curses from people on their worst performances.
This illitrate nation Needs a LEADER, who can guide this Nation out of Turmoil. I do not see any Leader emerging out of this crisis situation.
We have always taken DONATIONS from 1947 onward so whats a GIG deal? This MUST passon to the POOR masses.
Military lucrative rules where they bestowed all who comply them is one of reason of leaderless moments in our country.
Lawyer’s movement just started from roots level that was why all typical mindset political leaders were granted pardon by military and US think tanks to fill this void so that no new personality can fill the void that become giant through public support that is why nation is again stuck between two already declares failed teams.This time zardar is being presented as satanic character and sharif is being posed as our savior that is giving us hope of good governance.
This hope is stairs of establishment who uses it as per requirement.
The public opinion of this leadership void is amply reflected in opinion polls. A survey in March 2009 by the US-based International Republican Institute found the approval rating for President Asif Zardari to be 19 per cent, unchanged from the previous year. It also found that this was directly related to the fact that 81 per cent of the people polled saw the country headed in the wrong direction. The poll confirmed Mian Nawaz Sharif’s position as Pakistan’s most popular leader with an approval rating of 75 per cent.
What is it .
Sharif or altaf hussain all time absconders have been left for us in 17 million figure.
Here media should come forward along with civil society to break this taboo at all cost as we cant afford old experiments with new formula using expired reactants on us.
Corrupt Nation, Corrupt Leaders(so Called), Corrupt and Illitrate Nation who will SELL there Freedom and Integrity in a second.
JAGO JAHIL QAOUM KAE JAWANO waqt bara kara samnae hae. Get rid of all the Bas……D from this nation.
