Fuelling controversy
THIS is apropos your editorial ‘Fuelling controversy’
(Jan 20). It is only natural that the finance minister should feel that the
petrol crisis is owing to a conspiracy against the government.
This is always the reaction of those who are incompetent
and inefficient. The problem with the PML-N is that its leader cannot trust
anyone who is not closely related to him. He is not comfortable with those who
do not belong to his hometown or those who speak a different dialect from his
own.
Consequently, he has appointed only close relatives and
cronies to positions of power, who think they can never be held accountable for
negligence. It is surprising that it took so long for a major crisis like this
one to erupt.
In any other country, such inefficiency and carelessness
would have resulted in the immediate resignation of the minister concerned (if
not the government itself).
