About the reason to call off his upcoming visit to New York to attend the session of the UN General Assembly, Gilani said he wanted to supervise relief efforts in Sindh’s flood-hit areas himself.

I think it's the right time to set our precedents rather than following the ones set by others. It's time we should take our stands and prove our sovereignty. I appreciate the move by Prime Minister in which he cancelled his scheduled visited to U.S though the subsequent reason according to him is rain-cum-flood in Sindh. I wish this sanity prevails throughout out this country.

How credulous the people of Pakistan really are !
political drams broad casted by power politics look real to them and a variety of characters seen performing different roles in them are held as real as per their showy acts in these drams.
A couple of years back the situation was worse than what it is now in our country. floods in 2010 had shock the whole nation with a traumatic magnitude of damage both in terms of life and property . In course of that acute emergency, head of the same party and head of state did not bother to reschedule his visits to Europe.The time when the calamity struck people needed his attention and personal involvement in rescue and rehabilitation activities, he preferred international tour instead. He did so because elections were yet a halfway ahead. He ,however, went straight away and his smiling face in Europe was repeatedly telecasted by news channels and our Prime Minister himself was engaged in protocoling a hollywood actress Angilina jolie at that time. Those episodes hosted a bitter expression of discontent by the nation at large.
This was what set the precedent for Gilani sahib for the days of election.
He by cancelling his tour to u.s , means to sympathize the voters for actually their possible vote for Him in the ensuing election. Otherwise his care for the victims is still all the same as we saw in the 2010 floods.
Taste of power has been at the backdrop of certain dramas since the outset of Pakistan. People in power loved to retain it for ever for which forcing martial laws and engineering the constitution , fooling the public with rhetoric and showy actions have always been a viable tradition.
I would have appreciated Gilani if he had availed himself to this visit at such a critical trap of time when no international aid is likely to approach the suffering masses. With his visit Us would have at least announced some urgent aid for the relief of our sweetheart people who are at the stake now.
