Open letter to President

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to appeal to the constitutionally elected President of Pakistan, his Excellency President Asif Zardari, to immediately order appointment of men of integrity, vision, qualifications and experience to head Pakistan Railways, NHA, PIA, PASSCO, CAA, TCP, FBR, CDA etc. I fail to understand the tendency of elected executive to be seen defying logic, common sense, rules and norms of propriety while taking decisions, which relate to working of state owned corporations and award of contracts. The PPP is a party of Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, whose choice of appointments was confined to most qualified men of integrity, which was reflected by balance sheets, quality of service and performance of PIA, Railways etc. There is no dearth of talented and qualified honest men in Pakistan, who through sheer hard work, commitment and dedication can turn around state corporations and bring credit to the PPP government. SHAHZAD KHALIL, Sialkot, January 12.
