Rich man’s fuel turns so cruel
Oh, the government is so cruel
When it goes to raise the price of fuel
TV channels break news and scream
While the opposition gets down to scheme.
“It’s petrol after all,” did you say?
“And that it’s only a rich man’s gas?”
You may be right in social fact
But to say that will mean a lack of tact.
The ride to the gym will now turn costly
If the rich don’t lose weight they’ll look ghastly
It takes an AC ride in a petrol sedan
To burn some calories with style and élan
“Bicycle, did you say?” — That’s for clerks,
green-freak nerds and other such jerks
The rich must eat their chicken tikkas
And splurge on petrol to impress some chicas
India’s a country where petrol guzzlers
who eat pizzas, steaks and sizzlers
call themselves the “common man”
Before they head to Goa for a tan
So petrol must be a commoner’s fuel
Much like the farmer’s morning gruel
Rant you must when it goes a bit dear
Even if the deficit yawns so clear.

The Sangh Parivaar is targeting PC due to some other reasons – the bomb blasts and the hand of their operatives in it – and the same are being deeply investigated by the Home Ministry. So PC is being targeted by the Sangh Parivar – as simple as that.

The views presented by Pramit Pal Chaudhuri do not reflect the reality in Pakistan. If the writer did not forget while writing his ideas then he must had in his mind the steps taken by the COAS , to delineate the Army’s role in Pakistan. The role of Supreme Court ,after the restoration of deposed Judges, cant be termed as pliant. Their decisions are reflection of their commitment to impose the rule of law. The stand taken by the Army’s leadership especially after the NATO’s attack on Pakistani post, is bold and representation of nation’s sentiments. Pakistani nation has proved that Army is not alone in fighting any evil design against the country. The reaction and backing of Army by the Nation is another aspect which was overlooked by the writer. Its again baseless to fix the responsibility on generals because the writer himself pointed out the role of Politicians in gaining the power. As far Militants’ control is concerned, it again shows the negative mindset of the writer who is facing a problem ingesting Army’s success in eliminating the militants from KPK and most areas of the FATA region. The prevailing political environment in Islamabad is a creation of politicos themselves and democracy and rule of law will be triumphant, for which Army is determined too.
