Sindh Govt's Corona optics and realities

 You can easily smell the rat in Sindh. MAS (Murad Ali Shah) had been accomplice of Zardari and his cronies in mega money scandals. Lately, MAS and his leadership was not getting an opportunity to steal money. As they say, ' Every challenge brings an opportunity'. In Coronavirus outbreak, Sindh waders shahi got a perfect opportunity to flex their corrupt muscles.

By the way, where is the stolen wheat from official godowns of Sindh? List of their ills is long and goes way back into our tainted political history. But stolen wheat scam is quite recent and it might be fresh in short memory of this nation.

Yesterday, MAS mentioned about mystsrious hundred deaths which was a blatant attempt of spreading panic. Him being Chief Executive of Sindh must have worked out exact reasons of these deaths. Because, indirectly, he is responsible and accountable for any loss of life during his rule. But he had to downplay federal government's attempt to relax lockdown restrictions. MAS played his carrd and after adroitly praising PM for Pendamic measures in husky voice joined hands and pleaded for not doing politics. Really high drama was visible. Now what could be reasons  for pushing hard for lockdown:

Firstly, a gut feeling and would love to be proven wrong, it was a purposeful effort to take revenge from Karachi residents and business community since most of them either voted for PTI or MQM. Lockdown had serious implications for Karachi and none for interior Sindh which is the Political stronghold of PPP. In future as well, urban Sindh is not likely to vote for PPP and interior Sindh is stuck deep into the quagmire of ignorance that it will remain 'loyal' and oppressed. So, it was an opportune time for avenging Karachi for not voting for PPP. 

Secondly, loockdown was a smoke screen to attempt some old corrupt practices which were  getting rusty since the change of government in center. These had been hard times since exposé of Zardari System in Sindh. 

Thirdly, millions of people were given meals worth billions of Rupees but not a single shred of evidence shared at any level. Now they would give religious reasons for not turning these activities into photo ops. Can anyone really beat their reasoning. Mr MAS, now that so many fingers are pointing at your silent Robin hood style help to people, release some pictures and receipts of food buying. Also share audit report of funds. Simple, crystal and clear. But these people are so adept in lying and bleeding Saleh AS' She Camel (Pakisran- a beautiful analogy coined by Ashfaq Sb RA) from every part of its body that you catch them red handed and they will still come up with an excuse that will blow you away. Just look at picture attached:

Fourthly, MAS and his crooks made a lot of hue and cry over lack of Coronavirus testing kits. Under growing pressure, NDMA issued 50k kits to Sindh out of 100k for the entire country. Sindh bought another 50k from outside. But checkout the number of tests being carried out by MAS government. Now, its government agencies' responsibility to stop smuggling of these kits from land and sea routes to Iran, India and Afghanistan. Height of carelessness may also be checked that number of PPE has been found thrown out of interior Sindh medical centers.

Fifth,  health minister of Sindh is no where to be seen. Again, findings of actual reasons  would not be different from other shenanigans of MAS/ Sindh government.

May Allah protect this country from both viruses of Corona and Politicians.
