Compassion when needed

I have been quite queasy about the sinister smile that played through out on the face of Ms Fauzia Wahab in a popular talk show on Thursday night on Dr Afia Siddiqui and her possible return to Pakistan. Just as drones attacks are making the FATA people hate USA more and want to join hands against the US, this kind of posturing on very real issues making people hate PPP more. We had Mrs. Amna Janjua sitting in the team invited in for that talk show at that time. Mrs Janjua has a missing husband for four long years now. Fauzia Wahab should have been a little more concerned and sympathetic, even if she, like her senior colleagues, can't do anything to bring missing people back home. May I remind her that she won't be in power for all your life and bad times can come on anyone at anytime. She should not be so sure that PPP, or for that matter her mentor Zardari, will be here for infinity. -AMJAD HABIB MIRZA, Lahore, January 15.
