Is there a government?

Author: Daily Times

Sir: What the people need during this month is some relief. If we cannot be provided with electricity then the least the government can do is provide us some essentials and rations, at least to the poorer segments of society. We have a whole host of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) strewn throughout the land and we cannot expect them to fend for themselves. Their dietary needs and nutrition must be taken care of during the holy month at least.

We need to feel like there is some kind of government in Islamabad. At least give us that much.
