As somebody who was a teacher of President Asif Ali Zardari while he was at Cadet College Petaro, I have an advice that may ensure a glorious place in the political history of Pakistan for the man. He should dedicate all his efforts, energies and resources to put political and moral influence on parliamentarians and policymakers to frame laws that give relief to the poor. However, charity begins at home, and, that being so, he should surrender all his property within and outside Pakistan in the name of poor and make small houses for them, give their children scholarships and open free dispensaries in remote villages and slums. In doing all this, everything is within his means. He will not have to go through any red-tapism at all. After all, he will be using his own money.
