Congratulations Sadiq Khan

Sir,

It is indeed a matter of pride, joy and satisfaction for millions of Pakistanis that Sadiq Khan, the son of a working-class immigrant family, has on his own merit and hard work, managed to get elected as Lord Mayor of London. This should serve to prove to those who have doubts, that given a level playing field, with no space for nepotism, nor the elitist mindset that has destroyed merit in this country, there is no dearth of merit in Pakistan. I fail to understand the delay, or the hesitation by the Federal Government of Pakistan and our High Commissioner in UK in facilitating Lord Mayor Sadiq Khan, who got elected for a second term in free and fair elections. People with small minds, captive to their egos, blinded by bias, should never sit in positions of authority, unless they are willing to shed these complexes. It is Unislamic for Muslims to be captive.
