who is responsible for these road accidents

Every month we read news or hear about road accidents in valleys like Karimabad, Garamchashma, and Booni so on. For awhile everyone feel sorrow, discuss this issue with the family or friend circles and within few days this chapter closes with the sign board: May Allah rest his/her soul in eternal peace. I am very sorry to say that these statements would not be enough to reduce sorrows and problems of suffered families. Lose of ones� life is irreparable and people died in those accidents left behind their innocent children, old parents and wives. Keeping in mind the great lose of human life�s I would like to question our whole society especially politicians that who is responsible for these accidents and who is going to be the bread winner for these suffered families. I believe that both public and so called Politian�s are responsible for these incidents. Firstly, public ignorance about their rights is one of the factors behind these mishaps, they never argue for their and others� right and wait for somebody else to take the initiative. Secondly, almost every politician is corrupt in our society they visit public and show their love and sympathy and make promises to construct or repair the roads during the days of election. But after coming in power they construct a sound prove dark ceilings around themselves so public would not be able raise their voice against their unjust practices. Now it�s the open ended question in front of the whole society to relay on these corrupt politicians or think about the alternatives to protect and develop Chitral. Since past few years whatever happened with the common man, it was nothing else then the dirty politics. So please it is the time to wake up from sleep and realize your responsibilities: raise your voice for your right, demand for your basic needs, be united as one strong nation, and challenge the dirty politics of these leaders. Don�t wait for somebody else to change your conditions rather try yourself to overcome with these challenges. Because it would be unrealistic in 2008 to wait for a person like Liaquat Ali Khan to come and wake up the sleeping nation, now it is your turn to do it yourself. I would like to conclude with the saying that Allah never changes the conditions of those nations who themselves never tries to change.
