Late Night Packages…. A NONE ISSUE!

Late Night Packages…. A NONE ISSUE!

A package is always to facilitate the people. Whenever the people get frustrated, a package comes there to shut up their mouths. But the mobile companies have introduced the packages to open the sealed lips of the public. These are the packages, which offer quite nominal rates. People belonging to different sections of society, enjoy these packages because they are the only mediums, through which, they are free to speak. And the point is that these packages are under a cloud to be banned.

Our so-called politicians have made speeches to ban these packages. The reasons they have given are:

• These packages spoil people’s health.
• Students lose their interest in studies due to them.
• People don’t sleep well.
• Removing these packages would remove vice.

A short brainstorming is needed to reach the point where it would be clear that above mentioned reasons are not reasonable in a country in which we are living.

First of all, sorry to say, our well-wishers are looking only at the one side of the coin. They say that people are indulged in futile talks due to the packages. But there is a majority of the people as well who use these packages in a very effective way. A large number of people work at night shifts. They get benefits from these kinds of offers. Students being at distant places discuss their assignments and different tasks relating to the studies. People who work out of their cities freely talk to their relatives due to these packages.

Now let us talk about the reasons, our politicians have given. I literally respect our politicians that they think so much about us. They care for our health, sleep, social behaviour and character. But it is a humble question for the people who are at the helm of affairs. They say that these packages spoil our health. I respect and appreciate their concern. And yes! I accept that these packages spoil one’s health through harmful rays. But are they giving us an environment in which we can enjoy a good health. We are provided with sprayed vegetables, polluted water and air. Why don’t they raise this issue in the parliament? Moreover, the suicide bombing has removed the worth of health in our society. A healthy man who does not use late night package is killed in a suicide bomb attack. What does he get by remaining away from these packages?

Our worthy politicians accuse these packages of diverting the attention of the students from their studies. I admit again that these packages do divert their attention. They mostly use phones and do not pay proper heed to their studies. But there is not a common educational system in our country as well. Further students have realized the fact that they will remain jobless for a long time even after completing their education. And I think this realization spoils the interest of the students in studies more than any package.

Our dear leaders also think about our sleep. They opine that due to these packages, people especially youth does not sleep well. An urge to talk to their special one’s has made their nights restless. Again hats off to their ‘love’ for us. But the point is that by leaving late night talks, can we enjoy a sound sleep? Extreme and sudden shortfall of electricity has made our nights uneasy. Lying on bed and waiting for the arrival of the electricity is more restless situation than talking on phone. Our respectable politicians have raised one more point that a lot of vices are generated due to late night packages.

People discuss immoral things at night, which harms their mentality. They may be right in saying this but people’s mentality is not as worst as they think. Instead of this late night immoral mentality, if we have a look at the Punjabi movies and songs, extremely vulgar stage plays and Indian movies in our theatres and cinemas which are being promoted in our society, we shall come to know that these elements are far more filthy than talking late at night.

If we want to remove something from our society, first of all, we think about its alternative. But here the case is quite different. Our representatives are striving to snatch a notorious means of recreation without any substitution, which is a bitter need of the day as well. In our society where everything is costly, these cheap packages make us believe that yes! We can be entertained in an economical way. So being a Pakistani I appeal that please don’t seize this cheap source of recreation without any alternative.
