The only way? In your editorial ‘Was this the only way?’ (April 24), you ask: “After all, what – if anything – is there to cover up?” The answer is: everything. When a political party in government forces private and public organisations to hire its loyalists, disasters are bound to occur sooner or later. We have seen it happening in the case of the Steel Mills, we have seen PIA go bankrupt while the Pakistan Railways is struggling hard to survive. When people know they can’t be sacked because they are supported by those in power, they do not pay much attention to their jobs, until one day the inevitable happens. I’m afraid we may see many more tragedies like the Bhoja air crash before the present government completes its term. Shakir Lakhani Karachi Published in The News, April 26, 2012
