"He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." Jesus.
In Islam , who bribes for his work to be done commits a greater sin than who takes the bribe .
Corruption is a topic much discussed in the world . However , in Pakistan,we have sufficient time to waste rather doing work that is constructive which yield fruits for humanity . This does not mean that I am absolving ‘Corruption’ and ‘wickedness’ .
Pakistan is considered a large pond of filth where each person goes about naked . . The older generations sowed ‘corruption’ like other evils . We are reaping the fruit sown by them . We cant pick up apples from barley fields .
The situation in each is going from bad to worse while a sham democracy had been installed. In Karachi , there is a daily dose of killing when the democratic, and not a bureaucratic , government ‘governs’ Sind . Rumours are in abundance of the alleged misdoings of the current Government not only in Sind but the entire Pakistan. The situation in the rest of the country is no better .
I am not saying that the country’s bureaucracy is without any blemish . However , some people cross all limits of decency in their observation in the media or on the social networks . My objection is their making sweeping statements using harsh words as ‘rats’ , ‘dogs, and ‘pigs’for bureaucrats. Never use big words . Big words mean little .
Please avoid abusing the honest ,hard work of numerous Government servants . They put their heart and soul into their
129
work . They worked selflessly . My late father was one such example .
I wish to the readers that in this putrid atmosphere , there are many examples which shine on the country’s firmament and make the country proud . My JS in the Ministry of Commerce , Dr. A.K. Tanveer , was one such example . He , the late Mr. Rafiq Inayat Mirza (who lived in Rawalpindi and worked in Islamabad) , the late Mr. Maqbool Ahmed Butt never used staff cars when they were entitled to do so. They used to come by public wagons while plied between Rawalpindi and Islamabad . Mr. Javed Burki and Mr. Khalid Mahmood Cheema used bicycles while coming to the office.
I saw the working of those scions of high officials of the past , Javed Burki , Javed Talat , Meekal Aziz Ahmed . It was a pleasure to deal with them .
From among the bureaucracy , there were Justice A.R. Cornelius , Justice M.R.Kayani . Judges speak from their judgments . Simultaneously , we heard that lawyers and judges play bridge together and the former lose to the latter on purpose.
A military bureaucrat , Air Marshall Asghar Khan, moved the Supreme Court in the case of distribution of the funds amounting Rs 140 million to the politicians . The bureaucracy was not the beneficiary but the politicians were .
The bureaucracy was not the gainer of the much abused NRO . If there were any bureaucrat in the list of NRO beneficiaries, there were insignificant names .
A bureaucrat , Roedad Khan , atoned himself for his alleged ‘misdoings’ particularly when he the Principal Secretary to President Ghulam Ishaq Khan , was instrumental in filing a writ against the NRO which he subsequently won .
130
No bureaucrat is guilty of tax evasion . Their taxes are deducted at source .
A young female bureaucrat named Ms Anita Turab , moved the Supreme Court and won its judgment against the mighty ruling People Party in the case of Waheeda Shah who slapped election officials.
