The other side of the picture!
I always praised the government for introducing the National Internship Program.
But there is always another side of the picture. Let me share an email with you from one of the internees who’s working under this program
" Salam to all..

hamara kya kasur hai akhir,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,!!!!!!!!!
I have just copied and pasted this email without changing even a single word(as you could see from the grammatical mistakes etc.) except the sender’s name to avoid getting him/her into any further trouble.

its so bad … I have experienced with PSEB but that was not so bad… they have process to follow but once they done … they call me and ask me to come and receive my cheque…
Another point is that, it also depends on organization where they deployed …

This should be sent to the ‘letters to the editor’ sections of all major newspapers, as well, in my opinion.

If you are in contact with the person who sent this to you, tell him/her that the salary will be released once the judges have been restored.

Really, really bad! The government’s too busy strengthening its grip on the chair. As far as the food crisis is concerned, all the third world countries are suffering. And what songs *they* sing in praise of bio-fuel! I’m not saying the shortage is because of bio-fuel but it’s one of the factors and can wreak havoc in the fragile eco system if its, well, encouraged to become a norm in the developed countries.

As far as I know, the NIP has been stopped. My post on this issue earlier may be useful:

Sad state of affairs!

Firstly, if he’s a CS graduate … s/he should learn to write a convincing and more professional letter.
And since it was an internship; about time to discontinue and start seeking new places. If the place was good enough to teach him something; good enough. If not at least his first step into the corporate world told him about how things can go, no?
Start tackling things a bit professionally … things happen … learn your lesson and leave positively
All the best… May Allah help him, IA.
