God Bless the Unblessed Pakistanis
By Dr. Ghayur Ayub

“Essential items’ prices shoot up in quake zone.” So says a news item.
I call this disconcerting trend a vivid indication of poor governance by the government and a mockery of the Islamic spirit at the individual level. God bless the unblessed Pakistanis who are crushed under the rubbles as the rehabilitation and construction schemes continue. The sad part of it is that people are looking up to corrupt officials and shady custodians of religion. The situation prompts nothing but pain.
