Awami Raj leader says rulers value ordinary Pakistanis less than donkeys and dogs
Islamabad (Qudrat): Awami Raj Tehreek chief Iqrar ul Hassan has said that, for Pakistan’s rulers and their children, ordinary citizens matter no more than donkeys and dogs.
In a video statement on X, he said that while the prime minister’s son was preparing an expensive beef burger in a costly London apartment, a poor man’s son in the Koh-e-Suleman area of Pakistan was forced to drink dirty pond water alongside donkeys and dogs. He added that at the very time Pakistani children were drinking filthy water from that pond, drinking water was being imported from France for Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.
He further said that at the same moment Maryam Nawaz was travelling on an aircraft worth Rs 11 billion. In his view, this shows that ordinary people and the middle class carry no more importance for these rulers and their offspring than donkeys and dogs.
Iqrar ul Hassan argued that if the rulers regarded ordinary people as more important than animals, middle-class Pakistanis would not have been killed so helplessly at the hands of Somali pirates. He asked whether American, British or German citizens would have been left to die in the same way abroad, and whether the son of a Bhutto, Zardari, Chaudhry, judge, general or journalist would have been abandoned to such a death.
حکمران اس ملک کے عوام کو گدھا سمجھتے ہیں تبھی اُنہوں نے عام لوگوں کو گدھوں کے ساتھ پانی پینے پر مجبور کر دیا ہے۔ یہ امیرزادے اس ملک کی مڈل کلاس کو انسان سمجھتے تو پاکستانی شہری صومالی قذافوں کے ہاتھوں جانوروں کی طرح مارے نہ جاتے۔۔۔ پاکستانیو !! انسان بن جاؤ انسان pic.twitter.com/FsaKso4awx

He said that if the public expects rulers to treat them as human beings, they should not place their hopes in others.
