So this is my first blog on this site! And the subject is what I really want and the guy I admire or rather I have started admiring very recently. Mustafa Kamal the current mayor of Karachi is probably the best option Pakistan has for its next Prime Minister.
Irrespective of whatever party he belongs to, he is the best option we have. His love for Karachi and the people of Karachi shows how true patriots are. His role in the development of Karachi city is commendable. I visited Karachi after about two years and noted a visible change. Infrastructure has improved than it previously was. I can't say it is best as it really isn't but it was definitely better than what it was before. New roads and bridges connecting the various parts of the city were really appreciative and showed the efforts that were being put in.
The one thing I couldn't see however were the volunteers from 'I own Karachi' which I had heard about a few months back. I was told that traffic rules are being followed by people and volunteers from all walks of life were actually acting as 'traffic volunteers' controlling the traffic within the city. Anyway this wasn't something I really missed. I think people need to change too. And I also think a majority of people want an improved and developed Karachi (and Pakistan) but its because of some corrupt people (including government officials and not to mention policemen!) we end up having to deal with all sorts of irregularities and law and order issues within the city.
I have been watching Mustafa Kamal's interviews on various TV channels including this morning on ARY's 'subah bakhair' and there were really worth watching. The compere had tears in her eyes by the end of the program. He is one guy who does not indulge in so called 'drawing room politics', unlike his party's leader, rather he is out on the streets dealing with common people and thinking about its people. What a shame for those people who actually blamed him for the 27th December carnage in Karachi (on the tenth of Muharram). I hope all people think about the city and the country in the same way as he does. I am personally not a big follower of MQM (to which he belongs) but there are individuals who make up the nation and not these organisations. I wish and I sincerely wish if he could become the next prime minister of Pakistan. I am 31 years old and have seen a few general elections but have never voted. Why I haven't voted has been for various reasons. But this time around if there are chances of him becoming the Prime Minister of Pakistan I will certainly make an effort and go out to vote for him. Hope all the best for him and I hope we continue to get leaders like him in future.
