ZIA

I can hardly sympathise with Mr Sikander. You seem to be oblivious of the country that you live in. If you were talking about reforming the caretaker govt, yes we would listen to you. Don't you see that the people of this country are spilling blood every day for these reforms? You bring up trifling matters like this which can at best be equated with silly problems (!) like no electricity, no water, no fuel, no gas, no security, unhindered corruption by all, destroyed education system, no image, beating up of journalists, no foreign policy (Behold our foreign minister! He comes back from Europe and announces great success!), umpteen number of accidents everywhere--- the list of such petty problems is endless.

In the end, I apologise to the gentleman and say that I am ashamed of it because I am a retired air force officer and the officials of the air force manage the pathetic ZIA. Incidentally, I have also experienced similar episodes during my many journeys through it.
