Re: Why Pakistani People Going Crazy About Moving Abroad.??
The situation is not that people fleeing are like rats … rather even rats are clever enough to leave a sinking ship …
The few who will get away are the lucky ones … I don’t blame them for running; about 10 years ago the ship could been saved, but now … well major things are gonna happen there before any change of situation.
doubt that… it’s much easier to earn money and maintain a decent (or even an opulent) life style in pakistan… and people here know it… the greatest concern here is security … security of your family, of your belongings… and even the integrity of the nation itself… this may sound a little far fetched but if you had witnessed what happened on the streets of karachi the day Benazir died, you’d realize how frail the nation’s state really is. I was there on the streets and the absolute terror that reigned that day still sends chills down my spine … cars being set on fire … banks being looted … terrified people running everywhere… buses and trucks smashing their way through pedestrians, bikes and sedans as they tried to evade arsonists … women being harrassed… families sitting at bus stops and crying about how they’ll reach their homes… criminals openly roaming with machine guns and shooting people who resisted them.. and not a sign of the police & rangers .. i myself saw no less than 50 cars that had been torched at Nipa and 50 near the old subzi mandi ! It was absolute hell
