Government of Pakistan, in another attempt to prove its enlightened and moderate attitude, has provide condoms to members of Senate and National Assembly as Eid gift.

According to Daily Times (shared by Adnan), Senators and MNAs received a unique gift of 100 condoms each on the eve of Eidul Fitar from the Ministry of Population in a bid to encourage population control at the top level. “Yes, the condom packs have been distributed among the male parliamentarians. Each MP has been gifted a pack of condoms containing 100 condoms,” said an official of the ministry. The distribution of condoms has enraged some opposition MNAs, who have taken it as an insult, and they have decided to take up the matter with National Assembly Speaker Chaudhry Amir Hussain. “I will take up the issue with the speaker and move a privilege motion if need be. We are all educated people and know the benefits of contraceptives, but this move is meant to humiliate the MPs,” said a PPP MNA, who requested not to be named. He said that perhaps such “stupid acts” were the government’s way of showing the world its “moderate face”.

The news item did not comment on whether this gift has to be consumed during Eid holidays. It is also unclear if the gift was provided to Parliament members of both genders.

Population Ministry should distribute this gift to grass root level so that members of Provincial Assemblies, District and Local Governments can also benefit from it.
