On 7th April when news
broke that at the altitude of 6000 meters the Head Quarter of Battalion Head
Quarter was buried under an avalanche of about 1 km wide and 25 meter thick. At
that time President of Pakistan, Asif Ali Zardari was preparing for private
visit to India .
This should be kept in mind that schedule for his visit to India was
disclosed by an Indian newspaper on 2nd April. This shows that many
issues were preplanned. But the news of the avalanche in which 135 soldiers of
Pakistan army were buried alive under the snow on the world’s highest battle
field, were so much serious that after it the planned visit of President of
Pakistan was not only painful for soldiers but the cause of shame for the nation
as well.
On such a big tragedy President of
Pakistan should have postponed his visit to India and have visited the place of
this tragic incident along with his Cabinet and media team, where Army Chief
General Kiyani was already present. In this way on the one hand this would have
encouraged the families of those buried under snow, relief workers, and from
down to the highest rank of Pakistan
army would have been encouraged that not only Army Chief but the leader of
their country is also standing beside them. On the other hand this would have
clarified the reason behind the presence of Pakistan army over the world’s
highest battlefront. This would have also made it clear to the India that how much important is Pakistan and
Pakistani army for President of Pakistan. Obviously this would pressurize India for
solution of the Siachen dispute. In 1984 India
illegally captured Siachen posts and in order to tackle and neutralize Indian
aggression Pakistan
was forced to send his troops to world’s highest battlefront in spite of
shortage of resources.

But this is bitter reality that for
Pakistani President his private visit (pilgrimage) to India and
indulging in oral war with his political rivals was more important. The result
was clear; on the second day when President arrived in India along
with his 40 member delegation, all the TV Channels gave coverage to his visit
ignoring those soldiers and defenders of motherland buried alive under snow.
These channels kept busy in covering the activities of President and his son in
India .
Few
analysts over these TV channels tried to pose that President’s visit to India is an act of great of virtue for the
nation, as when he will return back the solutions for all disputes including Kashmir to drying of Pakistani rivers will be in his
pocket. With the passage of time not the pro-Indian media masters but the
nation having expectations from Zaradari’s visit will realize that just like
past once again India benefited from this visit while for Pakistan President of
Pakistan returned back empty handed. Perhaps our rulers/politicians may get
some individual facilities from India
and this would be never disclose to the nation like ever.
Because
this is not the first time when our politicians/leaders have sacrificed
Pakistani interest for India .
For example handing over the lists of Sikh freedom fighters, at this time our
female Prime Minister had to confess in the parliament that if she had not
helped India that this would
have been difficult for India
to maintain its geographical presence. On the other hand even if Sikh have not
succeeded on getting their Khalistan in Indian Punjab, they would have weakened
India so much that for India this would not have been possible to maintain
700,000 personnel of armed forces in Indian Held Kashmir and continue the
process of genocide of innocent Kashmiri people. India
also would not have been in a position to stop the water of Pakistani rivers
and dare to work on her satanic plans of converting fertile lands of Pakistan into
barren land. Now if Pakistani think for a moment they will realize that those
who handed over lists of Sikh freedom fighters might have got individual
benefits from India but what Pakistan got as reward is terrorism, armed
interference in Baluchistan, gang rape of Kashmiri women as state policy in the
hands of State terrorists of India, shortage of water for crops, and economical
crisis due to shortage of electricity.
Praying for safety of their colleagues |
Such like
situation was repeated on 25 August 1989, when a passenger airplane of PIA was
airborne from Gilgit having 55 persons. Due to mistake this plane entered into
Indian Held Kashmir and Indian state terrorists/soldiers in spite of being
aware that this was a passenger plane shot it down. When these news reached in New Delhi , Rajeev Gandhi requested his Pakistani
counterpart of that time to tackle this situation and save SOFT IMAGE of India for
killing 55 innocent passengers. This was accepted by Pakistani govt. and nation
and the families of these passengers were told that the plane has been lost due
to bad weather and would be recovered soon. In spite of passage of 23 years
this plane could not be recovered yet and will never be. In this way the
passenger airplane of PIA became target of so-called mother of democracy and
friendly relations between rulers of both country. What Pakistan got
for this? This answer could be only raised by most intelligent anchor-persons
of Pakistan ,
otherwise how could a common Pakistani dare to ask these politicians?
However in
spite of personal interests and deals of our leaders/politicians with their
Indian counterparts nation now demands that the dispute of Siachen shall be
strongly raised with India .
If India
agrees to solve this issue than Ok, otherwise all the trade deals and
friendship left for just politicians, as these deals have always benefited few
families, individuals not the nation. As long as insensibility of our political
elite is concerned over the tragedy of Siachen, this is not the first time, in
the history when they have dared to show their solidarity with the soldiers
fighting against terrorists in tribal areas or Swat operation? In spite of all
this nation salutes those who gave up their lives for the defense of
motherland, for the sake of dignity of the nation, for the sake of Islam,
because due to their sacrifices our freedom and most importantly the rule of
political elite is still present.
Heavy Machinery in use for rescue work |
The painful aspect is that on such a tragedy neither there
have been any strike, closure of institutions, declaring of black/mourning day,
nor any party has dared to express their solidarity with the martyrs…
THE DEATH OF THE MARTYR IS THE LIFELINE OF NATION
THE BLOOD OF THE MARTYR IS THE ZAKAT OF NATION
The great soldier of Pakistan army are doing their best to reach their brethren buried under snow in such a bad weather condition when relief teams from different countries are not able to reach on the spot, these sons of the nation have dug up 450 meters long trench to reach the Head Quarter. Hopefully we will soon hear good news InshAllah…!
In the end I would like to include a poem by a soldier
dedicated to those buried under white snow of Siachen for defense of
motherland…
If I die in a war zone,
