President Zardari's government has miserably failed to pass the buck of their failures on political, economic, law and order, security issues, plus problems in FATA, Swat etc, onto the previous government. Simply jot down a comparative analysis of the situation as it was on 18th of February and as it stands on October 9, today. It would make your heart bleed and cry out for the suffering poor of this country who have been nearly killed by price hikes in edible commodities and horrendous raise in tarrifs of gas, electricity, petrol and now the ill-advised increase in wheat support price. PPP governments' failures in FATA, Swat and Waziristan where our people are being killed like goats are being smoke-screened by in-camera sessions arranged by PPP government where lowly defense personnel, with nothing whatsoever to do with policy, give futile briefings as if it is the army's war rather than the country's. The PPP government has been a total failure and must leave the charge for better, more honest and more competent people. -M.H. IBRAHIM, Mirpur, via e-mail, October 9.
