Why Pakistani leaders opt to speak in English....

Recently I watched Pakistani Prime Minister (Yousaf Raza Gillani) speaking alongside British counterpart (Gordon Brown) at a press conference at 10 Downing Street, London UK. Gilani had apparently no control over choice of words, no style, not a single effective sentence, and more over he stood and presented himself like a subservient person to British PM.

Gillani changes multiple three piece suits with matching ties and shoes resembling to be a model on a cotest plateform. He fails to understand that his countrymen are dying at the hands of terrorists, hunger and are facing corruption in every field of government intervention.

Leaders in Pakistan are of elite classes but get elected through their selected power bases in villages and towns and through use of money that these corrupt politicians have accumulated through corruption.

If one looks at the style of our leaders and their cavalcades, no one will image and belive that they represent one of the poorest nation on earth. Even the opposition leader Nawaz Sharif lives and postures like an emperor. Question arises, where does all this money came from?

Answer is very clear...i.e. through corruption and plunder. It is high time for the educated middle class people of the country to come forward and educate the massesof these corrupt mafias of leaders and bring new honest and dynamic leadership from amongst the common people of Pakistan.

Last advise to PM Gillani, That he should use an interpretor and he must speak in Urdu. Prime Ministers of many countries speak in their own languages and use interpretors while addressing international audiances. He should feelpride in speaking his national language. secondly he should start wearing national dresse rather than three piece English suits.

Come on Mr. Prime Minister... behave like a mature sensible PM of this nation of 132 millions.
