An other sad day and sad story.
Yes! all this is extremely bad and sad beyond description. We humbly pray that God Almighty save and secure Pakistan and its hard-pressed poor people, already living a life below the sub-human, minimum standard of human life, confronting restless days and sleep less nights, due to 20 hours’ daily load-shedding, a situation which makes normal life, a day-dreaming. In such-like situation, we could only pray for our leaders that they rise to the demands of the occasions and make decisions/take action, yes right actions at right time and then the required act of praying and continue to pray so that God Almighty does the rest of His kindness to us, Ah! all miserably poor Pakistanis. Ameen.
