As the government has banned all news channels I think it is the right step in this direction, and should have been taken a long time ago. One lady on the bbc news Sairbeen asked why the channels were off she said we are having a lot of trouble. True we need to go back into the dark ages as by getting all the news and the latest in talk shows we have the knowledge and clearly know who is doing what and who is trying to gain, points etc, but what have we done. We watch the news and then discuss amongst ourselves and then go to sleep over it. We have never struggled to make changes in our life and reject the ones who are plundering and robbing our nation. Our polticians still claim to have large majorities and people like blind bats follow them around. Loyalty and money play a key role in electing politicians. As citizens what have we done to change our fate and make a change in our lives and the lives of others living in Pakistan.
An English saying goes "God only helps those who help themselves" but are we helping ourselves or those that are making it rich at our expense. Almost all political leaders are now life time heads of their parties disregarding any sort of elections within the parties, there is no form of democracy within their parties, whereas they claim to fight for the same. How could you expect them to fight for your cause when they dont believe in it at all. In my opinion I think its best that the channels are off, so at least we will not bother to know what they think, say or do.............
