Embarrassments & isolations
2018-03-01
[DAWN] THE FATF embarrassment, utterly isolating and shameful as it is, has become the norm for Pakistain. Along with so much else that has isolated and humiliated us this too was so obviously coming and was so stupidly and irresponsibly ignored. The debt riddled ’development’ taking place in Pakistain has been made even more fragile.

Critical commentators are often accused of being unnecessarily bitter about the state of the country. But when the state of governance is so criminal and damaging how else can one accurately depict the truth about our rulers who day in and day out unhesitatingly make a mockery and laughing stock of the country?

Putting on a polite mask while gently admonishing the perpetrators of such betrayal is itself a form of betrayal given the wretched depths to which our incorrigible rulers regularly sink.

You'd never get a beltway journalist to be this honest.
