Floods and Politics đź‡µđź‡°2022

Today i’ll write about my thoughts on the current political and flood situation in Pakistan, whoever is sitting in the assemblies and “representing” their hometown has their kids settled abroad. It’s quite natural for them to be unbothered or unconcerned about what happens to their home town or the poor people living there after 10-20 years. They have no stakes there. It’s quite natural to not care about a place when your kids won’t be living there (due to their foreign nationality and other interests).

After seeing these flood situations in South Punjab, Balochistan and Sindh I realised how unconcerned the urban class is about the lives of these people (baloch & sindhi). The way the media acted when people died in Murree due to road blockade had they shown 50% of the same interest this issue would have been highlighted and help would have been sent on time. While I write this, thousands of the people are homeless and misplaced while hundreds have lost their lives. Our media is busy showing the musical chairs between political parties. Just because the people who’re suffering, their lives don’t really matter.

There will be an immense disease outbreak because people have no access to clean drinking water and they’ve been abandoned. Coming months will be cold and terrible for such people. Why are minorities treated like that? They are only your concern when you’re in opposition? Once you get your seat you completely forget about them? This is such a shame. No one has any control on these Calamities but at least the elected government and their so called representatives can provide some relief to the ones who’re suffering, instead of attacking other political parties.

East Pakistan split because of injustice towards them on all levels. It’s about time our so called politicians and political parties end this inequality towards provinces and start thinking like one nation.

P.s please try helping people in whatever way or form and the least you can do is spread awareness about their sufferings. So in case if someone wants to help them, they can easily do so.

Ways you can help: tents, clean water supply, food (particularly dry rations), medical supply(first aid), blankets, clothes and lastly spread awareness.

Take care!🤍
