Effectiveness of #Hashtags from "Tukka Lagao Musalmano to Sharamnaak"

Effectiveness of #Hashtags

From "Tukka Lagao Musalmano to Sharamnaak"

This Ramzan oh sorry I meant Ramadan is one of the unforgettable Ramadans of my life and the reason is really simple. The month took off with a slogan "tukka lagao musalmano" by the one & only Dr. Aamir Liaqat and hopefully will be ending up with the most popular hashtag so far " #Sharamnaak ". I hope almost everyone of you must know what #Sharamnaak is. And in case if you don't know this, anyone from a newly born political party would stand up with a constipated face and tell you with a #Hashtag how #Sharamnaak your this act is. 
Over this weekend the #Karachiites experienced #RimJhimSawan  and as a matter of fact half of the social media users from #Karachi were sleeping till the afternoon after having our sehri (at least I was) and suddenly when we woke up half of the city was drowned. We all were left with no other option but to engage ourselves on twitter or FB at least till the iftaar. 

Well I was in an impression that we have got some #Administration some #Governmental institutions to take care of the city who contributes 70% in the country's economy & 93% on the provincial level, but I forgot one thing that both the #RullingParties in #Islamabad & #Sindh have got lowest stakes in the city. However apart from #Politics this #Rain is an #EyeOpener for everyone from the #Administration to a common #CitizensOfKarachi that this is the high time for the #Administration to take proper #Measures and for the #CitizensOfKarachi to think what they should do with their #Votes. People who just appear on the #SocialMedia, claim a lot to do for this city and we just see them screaming with a #Hashtag on twitter are the #RightPeople to #Vote or those who serve the city with great sincerity are the right ones to elect. Over this weekend I have seen many #Hashtags but some most popular ones are here for your attention. #RainEffect #KHINeedsMustafaKamal #WeMissMustafaKamal #Sharamnaak #KHIUpdates #MissingMustafaKamal #SharamnaakAfraad #BoycottPTIForever #RespectMustafaKamal etc etc (the Hashtags mentioned here are related to KHI). Above all political affiliations, if #PTI claims to be the most popular party of the country just because of having presence on #SocialMedia then I think #SindhGovt should accept MQM Chief Altaf Hussain's suggestion to appoint Mr. Mustafa Kamal as the interim Mayor of #Karachi because seven out of ten #Hashtags are in the favour of this demand. I don't think the #Hashtags should decide the #FateOfNation. #PTI has got amazing presence on #SocialMedia but that doesn't mean that the party who has got it's roots in the public should be disgraced on any medium with or without a #Hashtag.
