Necklace dilemma

No leader in Pakistan let any opportunity of extortion go unavailed and thus he remains actively busy making hay while the sun shines with impunity.

This is not the only necklace and neither is it the only spectacle which has brought shame & contempt upon the former Prime Minister of Pakistan Yousuf Raza Gilani and his party. Prior to this sordid drop scene, a letter was written by PPP leader Asif Ali Zardari to the Swiss authorities in order to seek return of confiscated jewellery, including a necklace worth over $300,000 of his late wife Benazir Bhutto but the government had asked the Swiss authorities to repatriate the expensive jewellery set to Pakistan instead to be auctioned and how brazenly Mr. Zardari had denied the ownership of Swiss jewellery everyone can recall without delving into deep contemplation.

First of all it is very important to understand why did Turkish first lady Mrs Erdogan donate a priceless necklace instead of cash? Is there any impeccable or exquisite logic behind it? Yes! Turkish education system carries a lesson in its syllabus illustrating the spiritual and emotional bond of subcontinent Muslim women with Turk nation when they had donated their jewellery at the time of the fall of Uthmaniyah Caliphate; it was the hardest period for Turkish nation who were witnessing the worst timeof their history and they were so badly stranded and stood completely isolated.

Jewellery is considered to be the most precious belonging of women after their children. Turkish citizen are well aware of this selfless fraternity& brotherhood of their Muslim sisters of subcontinent who showed their intense devotion and attachment in their own way and moved by deep emotion and sentiment they sacrificed their invaluable and dearest possession. Now Pakistani people specially our nescient political high ups must understand that Turkish first lady Mrs Erdogan could have donated money but we failed to figure out that she would have also studied that same lesson like others and certainly she would have learned that how Muslims sisters belonging to India helped their Turk nation in the need of hour. Turkish people respect Pakistani nation even until now and if we examine this fact little closely, we discover that if Pakistanis have some respect and honour in any country then it is none other than Turkey and Turkish first lady must have thought to donate a diamond nickels as a symbol for the flood-stricken people of Pakistan in order to pay off the debt of her Muslims sisters and truly by donating a diamond nickels she has proved that Turkish women also have courage and spirit to sacrifice their most valuable possession for Pakistani nation in the need of hour and how appreciating it would have been if we have showed reverence & respect to their incredible and spiritual feelings and preserve the precious necklace in museum as a memorable souvenir but alas it was gone missing and having grappled with an intriguing mystery, Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) served a legal notice to former Prime Minister of Pakistan warning him that if the necklace was not submitted within three days, a case would be lodged against him and in response when no alternative had left; former Prime Minister had to return the diamond necklace after a long period of 5 years.

Noticeable thing is that if leaders themselves are known to be the most corrupt in the world then how their adherents can be trusted and amazingly every Pakistani politician one by one is a piece of news these days, not because of their politics but due to the massive corruption, malpractice and crookedness.
