Threatening public servants

WE wonder why Mohammad Nasim, a member of the AL presidium, should take it upon himself to threaten the public servants with dire consequences if they did not perform as per the directives of the government until January 24. In fact he had said that any public servant not doing so would be sent home.We also wonder whether Nasim has the locus standi to make such a threat to the servants of the republic. And even if he had, should he make such remarks? And is he not betraying an innate fear, which may be construed as reflecting the party psyche, that the public servants may not do the government’s bidding when it comes to the crunch? Does he fear another “Janatar Mancha”? And, given the uncertainty about the likely dispensation following the end of the current government’s tenure, will one be remiss to think that by ‘government directives’ Mr. Nasim actually means ‘party directives’?
In spite of the fact that the administration is not free from political influence, we would like to believe that the public servants would conform to their code of conduct and work as per the directives of the government of the day and not of the ruling party.We wonder if Nasim is trying to earn brownie points by making such completely out of turn comments, as he had made before. But in doing so he has displayed complete inability to comprehend the gravity of his comments that have vitiated the political atmosphere even more.
