56th Independence Day

Published in The News on August 29, 2002 

With reference to the letter "Could be 56th!" by Hafiz Sultan Ahmed (25th August), the writer doesn't understand how Pakistan celebrated its 56th independence day this year on August 14. He's not the only Pakistani who is confused about it. The massive nationalisation of schools and colleges by ZAB has ensured that Pakistan will always remain a backward country, where graduates are unable to determine their own ages, nor able to compose a simple letter of application for a job, and sometimes one comes across college principals who cannot sign their own names!
