Whose fault is it? [Archives:2002/36/Focus]

BY ARIF AHMED AL AHDAL
There are certain things that our government does for the benefit of the public. But there are others which hurt the well-educated deep inside and also bring about their frustration. To be exact, the government gives job opportunities to the so called Sheikhs /MPs with a will that these will go to those who deserve. Instead of doing so, these Sheikhs have the audacity to give these opportunities to a particular group of people who are hollow of every thing good, just because these people can afford to pay the expenses. What a pity!
It is commonly known that the good and the bad characteristics remain idle in the case of these Sheikhs. Priority is clearly given to the latter. This does not only annoy those with good conscience, but it also kills the academic interest and determination of the poor hardworking students.
The problem of selling jobs like goods has reached serious dimensions. This is very much wrong; and one may inquires “Whose fault is it?” but unfortunately, no one asked. The answer to this question can be known, or is yet to be known if you just give a serious thought to the matter, will you ?
In Fact, the betterment and bright future of our country depends, to a large extent, on the hard working and unshakable will of students and teachers of our society. With this view I hope that with almighty smiling upon us, we will be in a position to change this bitter reality. Pray with me, Shall we?
