Politicians, Media & Drugs

A suggestion sprang to mind about drug tests of political 'leadership' after watching press conference of honorable chairman People's Party who affected lockdown across the globe. PEMRA must coordinate with local authorities that whenever our 'leaders' call press conference, local press club to notify district administration and local police as well. If respectable political thug gives incohesive statement like PPP locked down Wuhan, Iran & Italy, immediately have his drug test on spot Would it be possible? Let's have look at the bigger picture: 
Senate committee pased ruling that there will be random drug tests in universities. Likewise, the same may happen in colleges and moreso in schools. Random unannounced drug tests have been conducted in the Army as well. Fair enough. Rather we are quite late in enforcing such rulings whereas we live in and around bastions of drugs. I witnessed random blood sampling of cadets at the most prestigious military institution of UK (RMAS, Sandhurst) some 22 years ago.
However, certain blue-blooded classes are untouchable in Islamic Republic of Pakistan and no surprises there, the PMN (Politician-Media Nexus) and nautankis party(celebrities) are also spared for some tunki.
Who has to legislate? Politicians
Who has to report? Media
These two are the real culprits yet have a strong bondage and a میثاق بے شرمی to watch each others' back. It would be a waste of effort to download few pictures of politicians under influence from all political parties. Raisani, Sharjeel Menon and the list is too long. But more shameful is representation of Riasat e Medina like CM KPK, Ali Ameen etc. And for media scums, just write their names and Google you would conveniently get pictures of even women 'analysts' at private parties. Want a clue, type US consulate party and media anchors. By the way, PMN has regular wine & dine gatherings and they need nautankis to embellish the parties just like noteables invite Khusras on low budget countryside gatherings. 
Unfortunately, these have become acceptable norms. Even showing mirror on these aspects comes with a price of being labeled as extremust religious fanatic. However, its not important what they perceive of it. By the way,, a big chuck of اشرافیہ is also اسیرِ شراب و ڈرگز بعد الاندھیرا and some round the clock.
PMN is in its own zone and flight which is direct outcome of drugs and alcohol. These menaces prevent brains to function properly. And result is in front of everyone.
So a practical suggestion is offered if self proclaimed Riasat e Medina wants to break the shackles of self denial and wishes to stop selling this title for cheap popularity among Muslims whose hearts beat with Islam. In post corona, new normal, please conduct drug tests:
1. All media houses(news & entertainment) must have drug tests of all employees including blue blooded anchors. On receipt of drug tests result, govt must reserve the right to carry out random tests at media houses. Penalties may wary according to pay scale. However,  initially only warning must be given, keeping the matter confidential. Then on getting caughr second time, put in rehab depending on the intake routines. Found guilty next times, tricter measures must be taken like fines and jailing.
2. For politicians, those who file papers for any candidature councilor, MPA, MNA, Senate and non-elected army of advisors must submit drug tests which will be positive for sure since alcohol caught by Chief Justice turns into honey in kand of pure. But then govt must reserve the right of random sampling.
ANF should also feel some shame and instead of becoming a political tool, catch drug manufacturers, distributors, sponsor investors, retail gulley-mohalla distribution chains. Its simpler than that. Just try and take one month's halal pay to your home, 90% of drug issues will settle in this country. 
To conclude مختیارا گالاں نہ کڈے تے کی کرے
