AIDS does not exist in Pakistan?

Official statements that there hardly any AIDS patients in Pakistan. Admitting that there is AIDS in the country would mean the acknowledging that there are gays, drug addicts and there is sexual promiscuity. Being gay is treated as vicious crime, for a woman to be found out to have premarital or extra-marital relations with someone would automatically turn her into a criminal including the person or persons with whom she had any such relations. Most of the time the existing law in the country help in falsely accusing a woman or any man – for ulterior motives.

Not revealing figures as to how many people have died of AIDS will not make the disease go away, ignorance is not bliss – it is fatal. Mentioning a condom leave its use is simply out of the question. The advertisement are too vague to make any sense. Sex education is prohibited, because it is assumed that it would result into turning students into sexual predators. AIDS cases are camouflaged, cause of death of an AIDS patient is obscured and some other reason is given. The official policy is deny everything. All this applies does not apply to those people who are rich and powerful, they can do whatever they like because no one can touch them.

Apart from AIDS there are all the other Sexually Transmitted Diseases, which are never made public. Young men visit brothels without the slightest awareness of the consequences. They do not use condoms, because they have no idea how to use them and they do not know what the benefits are. Prostitution is rife in the country but no one cares report how many people are really in this profession. There are no records of the number of drug addicts.

Drug addiction soared after 1977 when prohibition on alcohol beverages was imposed and lasts to this day. If the prohibition on alcohol beverages had not been imposed, the number of drug addicts would be much less. Because there are drug addicts and the cannot afford to pay for new syringes, utilise old ones – which can result in become infected with AIDS. Drug addicts in order to support their habits will go to any lengths, even prostitute themselves and could very well come in contact with someone suffering from disease.

Absolute openness about such issues is simply out of the question. We are living in age of obscurantism, bigotry, fanaticism, hypocrisy, greed and extreme savagery. AIDS is not something anyone discusses because it is too embarrassing to talk about, even if the lives of people are stake. There is no way such matters can resolved easily.

The blessed and the cursed

The only way to get a really grand job is to be in the right place at the right time. Hardwork, talent, ability and intelligence means nothing. All that you learnt at you university or college is worthless. Consider a man working his butt off for years in a company, suddenly finds out the companies boss has been jailed for not paying taxes. The company winds up and the hardworking man ends on the street. He put in his life in the company – now his pension has gone and he is an old man with no chance getting another job. Lots of people try to be become movie stars end up they are too ugly, their voice is terrible and they just simply stupid – it is all matter of being bad luck. Others regardless of how they look get great part in some movie and end up acting in a film which makes lots of money. A good luck also accounts for the fact that some people can get away with mass murder and never be held accountable for their crimes and some one get just kill one person and be jailed for life ...

Dr Salman Shah is insane

The price of petrol has been increased 7 times and the country's Finance Adviser says it will not affect the economy. I do not know about the economy but I am paying more and more for petrol and my salary has not increased, it is not enough one day petrol will eventually become as expensive as gold or more. Its people like Dr. Salman Shah who do not announce anything during the budget announcement, later start telling the people that everything is going to be more expensive later at the same time say it will not make any difference to the economy. Dr. Salman Shah says this because he does not have to pay for the petrol of his limousine - it is free for him Why should he not drive around in his limousine and pay for petrol from his own pocket instead on relying on the government. The day he starts doing that he will realise what he has done, he will scream. The price of petrol is high because it has 300 per cent taxes on it. If those taxes are removed the petrol would be m...

Mysterious kidnappings

Young students in their twenties are being kidnapped from Karachi and other cities. Though reports about these are kept secret, but with the frequency they are taking place, there is bound to be a leak  and people eventually get to know about this. But the question is who responsible and why is it happening. There are no clear answers. But the people who get away by committing such crimes are obviously are very highly placed, they are virtually above the law. No one can arrest them, even though the evidence is overwhelmingly against them. This is a new way to terrorise the people, it simply boils down to this. If the police and other law enforcement organisations are unable to prevent crime, the people would be forced to take up arms against those who murder, kidnap and steal. Whatever the reasons for the kidnapping, is irrelevant, the people protecting the kidnappers will face the wrath of the people. No court, no judge is going to prosecute these criminals. There is a limit t...
