While Rome Burnt
By Khalid A.
London, UK

Pakistan is in the deepest crisis in her history. The ship of the state is rudderless. But the leaders are on overseas holidays.
On Saturday, 12th July, Mr Nawaz Sharif was seen buying strawberries, in Marks & Spencers, on Oxford Street, London. Enjoy yourself, Nawaz! The nation has no opportunity for such culinary pleasures. When they listen to the oratory of their leaders, they believe wishfully that someone is feeling their pain.
I do not intend to be mean about strawberries. But frankly, Nawaz, I have lost my appetite.
