But on the paved highway passing between the government courts and the shops of justice, the donkeys also appeared at the forefront in the struggle to form a government, to bring and remove the people&#8217;s government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seven decades ago, donkeys used to dance like this on these roads too. The only difference was that at that time, crores of rupees were spent on the passageways built for donkeys, but that was when donkeys sometimes considered themselves a breed of horses. After many decades, today, donkeys appear happy on these same old highways with a new development budget of billions of rupees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the unbearable burden, the increasing fatigue day by day, and the noise of the environment, they do not even crawl on their ears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every whip that falls on them in this era of hunger and fear is forcing them to cross the bridge of exploitation, deprivation and helplessness day by day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a different matter that after the establishment of the government, they have no status or value. Then, no matter how loudly they shout while passing by paved roads, dirt paths, halls or shops of justice, no one hears anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A veterinarian, after a long research, said that the donkeys of this region are suffering from a disease that attacks them every five years, and they lose their past. They do not remember any lessons except the greed for the comforts given in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But in the last few years, the burden of decades has now bowed their shoulders. Their cries are now touching the trend line and moving forward. Meanwhile, the government has now withdrawn the loyalty medal from them. It is a different matter that one of their own communities, namely horses, is still considered loyal today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">\u066d\u066d\u066d<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the five-year democracy against personal sovereignty, the Mason, the Minister and the Donkey are equal partners from the first brick to the last stone of the five-year rule.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2328,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[136],"class_list":["post-2327","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opinion","tag-farhan-tariq"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.5 (Yoast SEO v28.4) -
