KARACHI: This is with reference
to your editorial “Nobody at fault, again” published in The Express Tribune on February 23. It seems that the only
people to blame for our follies are our long-dead ancestors who chose to
migrate to this country, or did not leave it when they could see the writing on
the wall. Has anyone ever been held accountable in Pakistan? Smugglers, land
grabbers, tax evaders and other such worthy citizens are in fact regarded with
great respect. Budding senators can give millions to assembly members to get
elected, but no one cares. I don’t think it is possible for our people to
change their mindset. We all seem resigned to the fact that nothing can be done
and it is our destiny to be ruled by criminals.
