What is the point of this post Muqawwee? I must say it’s a very very misleading post.

I hope you do know that it’s ultimately the archaeologist who decide these things. One particular set safety and quality assurance regulations cannot be applied to all World Heritage sites. I hope you also know these some heritage sites are more sensitive and in fact endangered than others, while some of them are perfectly able to stand the test of time. Unfortunately, Moenjodaro falls in former category.

You can appreciate Zardari Kids’ efforts for all you want, but for sake of personal integrity, please do not dismiss completely legitimate concerns of our very own Pakistani archaeologist (some of them are actually employees of Sindh government) and a High Court decision. I can assure you, these archaeologists know a thing or two more about extremely and high risk delicate condition of ancient City of Moenjodaro than me, you and Bilawal Bhutto.

This is not my view, its the argument given by PPP and as you mentioned its upto archaeologists to decide whats dangerous for the site. PPP is giving assurances for ‘no damage’ and I don’t think that they would take a risk of destroying these ruins because it will ultimately affect their ethnic card, if God forbid any mishap happens at site.

PS: Sindh High Court didn’t issue a Stay Order and they also came with same ‘if no danger is assured’ type order for the matter and thats why it has been inaugurated at Moen Jo Daro.

PS2: Moen jo Daro is in crtical conditions since long… We have been crying on destruction of Budhas of Bamiyan for long, but no one raised voice for Moen jo Daro. I think its a blessing in disguise that PPP took this decision. I’m yet to see who has to carry this concern in future, as I feel its more about dissing political rivals than actual concern for sites.
