Its bad because its a stupid scheme (whoever starts it) where the money meant for government schools is being used to buy votes. Anyone with a brain would say its completely stupid and improving standards in worn-down government schools should have top priority, while PMLN lovers will say its a great thing. Is there anyone in their right minds who will say "to hell with government schools, leave them broken and filthy, lets just give away free laptops with our name on it and lets advertise our 'great deed' on roads and in newspapers on taxpayers money"
As for the student, the laptop was given to him, its his property now and he can do whatever he likes with it, PTI accepts donations from its members, its not Khadim-e-Ala property so whats your problem? Do tell me what you think about the bold part above.
I am not a PTI or PML-N supporter ...
but saying Laptop scheme is useless scheme is overstatement ..
Do you think Tamil Nadu bought more than 4 laptops for scams too ?? every major US university give laptop to its student too .. even when I was in GIKI I was given pc during last year ..
Most of the schools in Punjab are not that bad .. some do need improvement but that doesnt mean to offer something good until other issue is resolved ... its like you telling someone to not to pray if they are not going to pay Zakaat .. both are important but it doesnt mean you stop doing one if you are not doing both ..
