Day Light Saving System (DSM) is not a novel idea. Introduced in 1885 by a New Zeeland Entomologist, it is being practiced in several countries across the globe including entire Europe, and selective countries in other continents (Bangladesh ,Kazakhstan and Jordan etc in Asia).Some countries such as China and India has abandoned this practice while few others such as Japan and Philippine are considering to adopt this rule. There are few countries of North America who have advanced their clocks permanently for duration of an hour.

The rationale behind this practice is extra use of day light to save electricity. It bears both positive as well as negative impacts but declaring it nonsense altogether is unjust. It causes confusion amongst the masses and this the biggest draw back but it also save energy and bring monetary benefits. This issue may be discussed in the light of facts and figures but not only for the sake of criticism on Govt.

Govt decisions do not bring desired results always . However these must be rational, logical and above all taken in good faith. Some of decisions cannot achieve desired results and even few of them are proved harmful because no one has control over the future. This is being done all over the world .Legislation is promulgated by the parliaments but amended or repealed afterwards on not getting the desired results. Bhutto Sahib introduced Socialism and nationalized all the major industries. He had been voted to power on this slogan so he implemented this decision with public mandate. Afterwards it proved unsuccessful and we reverted back to capitalism. Even leading socialist states such as china are moving towards Market economy.

Obviously there is no vested interest of the Govt in this regard. I have not seen any allegation of corruption on Zardari Sb for introducing Day Light saving System yet, but it will not be a surprise for me if some media personal link it to mallafide intention of President. We are idealists and want angels to rule here but at the same time allow dictators to ruin the entire nation. However Political leaders must be flawless and rumors spread by unbridled media are sufficient proof to declare them guilty and corrupt
