Why no mention of the word 'C'?

02 Apr, 2011

Corruption and corruption alone is the number one problem of Pakistan, that is being discussed, debated and analyzed, with all the ensuing ramifications, resultant adverse impacts and devastating effects on country's economy, stability, governance, administration, just about at every forum with extreme aversion and abject abhorrence, every day by every citizen of the country.
Zardari has been a Co-chairperson of his ruling party, the PPP, and in the office of the president of Pakistan for the past three years. He has delivered scores of speeches and held many press conferences on the most trivial of all issues, yet, strangely enough, not once he has uttered a single word on/or against Pakistan's number one problem, ie "corruption", that is eating away the very fabric of statehood, with a vengeance, putting at a grave risk, the viability of the nation as an entity and threatening its survival.
One wonders why Zardari avoids and shies away from mentioning the word "corruption" and, so also, what measures are (not) being taken by his government to eradicate the menace of rampant corruption in the country. Is this a case of the "Guilty conscience"?
