Yesterday nigh I saw a convoy of cars and vans, people were being asked to participate in 'million man march' against a propsed plan to privatise the examination board system - the organisation is sponsored by the Agha Khan. What is surprising though that no one has proposed a similar march against rising prices of virtually everything.
People should be demonstrating en masse against the outrageous increase in prices of practically everything. It is surprising no political party has taken up this issue.
Of course one can rule out religious polical parties - they have no agenda, no manifesto except how to promote religion. They do not take up issues such as rising prices, growing unemployment, crime and suicides. They also have no charitable function. As for the other political parties - it is surprising that the problems faced by ordinary people does not interest them - they may make lot of noises in the parliament - but do not have the courage to call for a mass protest against the ever increasing problems of the people. Is the military is tyrannical that politicians are too terrified to say anything against it? Or are all the politicians really despots themselves, they are not really interested in democracy - all they want absolute power along with it all the perks and previleges whcih come with it?
It is the people who have to start protesting - without any political party guiding them. Perhaps if there mass demonstrations and absolute anarchy - the beginning of a type of 'reign of terror' in which all the corrupt elements within society are eliminated once and for all. The vital question is as to why the people are suffering in silence - are they suffering mass apathy?
