Now what remains to be seen is how Raja Khan will be remembered. Will his death bring any change to Pakistan?
KARACHI: Mohammed Bouazizi of Tunisia set not only himself on fire, he set aflame the whole Arab world, and in doing so will be remembered as a legend. A poor Pakistani Raja Khan, from Naushero Feroze in Sindh, also set himself on fire in Islamabad this past week, in front of Parliament House.
Now what remains to be seen is how Raja Khan will be remembered. Will his death bring any change to Pakistan? Time will tell, but personally, I doubt it will.
