Pakistan is under heavy deluge. Pakistan is facing unprecedented calamity. In such a situation, where is the student force, youth wing and workers' wing of Pakistan Peoples Party, which claims its presence all over Pakistan, which claims itself to be "Charon Subon Ki Zanjeer" (the binding force of all provinces)?
The PPP has already shown its forces of students, youth and workers coming out on the ground, to provide protection to Benazir Bhutto when she returned to the country from self-imposed exile. Why are not they here now, working round the clock among the tragedy-stricken 'Awam'?
The same is the question to another big political party of the country, Pakistan Muslim League-N, which is waiting on the wing to take the power and authority to rule this country. Where are the students, youth and able-bodied workers of this party at the hour of need of this country and its people?
One may say that, due to ban on student unions, students have become insensitive and inactive. Let's accept this bizarre logic for a minute or two. But then, where are the youth and workers, who should always be active and kicking under any party discipline, particularly when they all unashamedly crave for democracy, and that is also under party politics.
The media is all against the government machineries, and the government itself, for its failure to rise properly and timely to the occasion. The media is right. But at the same time, the media should specifically take the political parties, particularly PPP, PML(N), ANP and MQM, to task for not being able to bring their 'organised' (if at all organised!) youth forces on to the battle ground to fight against this unprecedented calamity of the centuries.
