We should ask ourselves… How often and for how long does the electricity go out in Bahria town?

The water they receive, is it treated?

The education their children receive, how does it compare to the education in the rest of society?

When these people can call security for every minor irritant, while the majority are held hostage to terrorist’s and kidnappers and even police, its hard to justify such a palatial residence when everyone else is suffering.

Personally, I dont know how anyone can live there so comfortably, and with a clean conscience.

Security better be provided to these people. When the miserable masses get even more miserable, these people enjoying comforts others could never even imagine, will be the first victims.

Im not saying they dont have a right to exist. Im only questioning the ethics of such a luxurious existence in a country where many can barely feed themselves.

I don’t think it is blameworthy … throughout all of the towns there are gated sections and onsite generators or personal ones, which have communal high security this is just a whole a town set-up that way … districts seems to be quite autonomous in Pakistan and people are doing what they can for their own communities - they should not sacrifice their own safety for the safety of the community outside this betrays reason … however they should help to work with outside communities to help them enable themselves … i.e. they should not be insular.
