Bangladeshi Aggression Against Pakistan... For What???

Glimpse of propaganda against Pakistan in 1971

                Bangladesh-Pakistan diplomatic relations apparently being normal are facing tension because of the steps taken by Haseena Wajid’s establishment to insult Pakistan internationally in order to please India to secure Indian support for continuity of regime against the will of Bangladeshi public. Moreover if statements and allegations against Pakistani security and  intelligence agencies had remained confined to political need to win elections than this would have no effect over mutual relations because such allegations and fake stories are used by Indian political parties as well to procure votes. But Bangladesh has gone a step farther; Haseena Wajid announced to start trial of 195 Pakistani soldiers who participated in 1971 war and operations, in January after winning the elections that were boycotted by all opposition parties and now it is under discussion that ISI Chief of 2010 would be prosecuted as well under fake allegation of supplying weapons to Freedom Fighters in Assam through Bangladesh. This plan was revealed by Haseena Wajid after propaganda of New York Times  on 19 March 2014 regarding presence of Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan.
                Carlotta Gal  representative of American newspaper “New York Times” in her report published on 19 March 2014, repeated allegations against ISI and Pakistan Army by international media for which they had support from within Pakistani English writers and intellectuals. Once again in the propaganda of New York Times it has claimed that ex-Army Chief General Pervaiz Musharraf has established a special desk for protection of Osama Bin Laden. Pakistani govt., ex-President Pervaiz Musharraf, ISI under the leadership of General Kiyani was protecting and guiding Taliban. Apparently Pakistan was standing with USA in war on terror but actually was in contact with Taliban and other Kashmiri Freedom Fighter groups. While few cells of ISI were working against Taliban and extremists; other were supporting and protecting Taliban. According to the propaganda report of New York Times, ISI Chief General Shuja Pasha was aware of the hide out of Osama Bin Laden. Americans got astonished when a day after the Abbotabad Operation; a call of General Pasha was recorded in which he was talking about the presence of the Osama at Abbotabad. Americans got worried because General Pasha was important ally and friend in the war on terror and fight against extremism.

                American journalist had laid the allegations against Pakistani establishment that they always used Taliban for their own interests (while this is sole right of USA) even Benazir Bhutto was assassinated through Taliban. In this report she has tried to involve Mulla Umar and Hafiz Saeed while portraying her report consisting of old propaganda and fabricated stories of Western Media as her own research and achievement. All these allegations have been repeated by Afghan President and Indian rulers as well as a propaganda campaign against Pakistan in their interviews to media while US govt. always officially expressed their detachment to these allegations. Here question arises why does an American journalists felt the need to repeat all these fabricated stories and allegations afresh claiming it to be her own research while USA is busy in packing up to leave Afghanistan by 2014? In past such propaganda was considered as a tool by CIA to pressurize Pakistani to DO MORE. Of course this time too there would be such a nefarious lobby / agency behind this propaganda which has been rejected by Pakistan. US journalist has nothing to support her allegations against Pakistan except excerpts from newspapers or anti-Pakistan statements. But Haseena Wajid has claimed report of New York Times important for trial of weapons smuggling in Chittagong.

Mujeeb Nagar! A park constructed by  Haseena Wajid, statues portraying fabricated atrocities committed by Pakistan Army in 1971 to fuel hatred against Pakistan 


                A big conspiracy game that is being played in Bangladesh in the name of INTERNATIONAL WAR CRIME TRIBUNAL; apparently, Pakistan has no link with it but Pakistan has been dragged into it. Although our rulers are trying to show that this is internal matter of Bangladesh by ignoring it but they should realize the seriousness of the matter and find solution for it. This is the result of our criminal silence that now Haseena Wajid who came into power through Indian support and biased polls had developed the courage to speak against Pakistan and include Pakistanis in the trials of International War Crime Tribunal which has been converted into a cell being used to punish and remove political opponents. On the one hand those people are being punished who supported their army against aggression of Indian trained terrorists in 1971 while on the other hand important leaders of political opposition like Khalida Zia’s party, civil bureaucracy, elements in interior and foreign ministry who dared to be against Haseena Wajid are target of this tribunal and being awarded death sentences under the allegations of helping Assam Freedom Fighters.  On 30 January 2014, said tribunal awarded death sentence to 14 persons including ex-Interior Minister Lutf-u-Zaman of Bangladesh National Party, Major General Chauhdary Razzaq-ul-Haider ex Chief Military Intelligence, Brigadier Abdul Rehman ex Chief National Security Intelligence, Toba Ali leader local party Awami League (this party is ally to Khalida Zia’s BNP). Persons who got this death sentence have appealed to Supreme Court but keeping in view the past record of partiality of Bangladeshi Supreme Court, analysts are of the view that not only death sentence would be maintained by Supreme Court but execution would be ensured as well.  Moreover, after boycott of elections and continuation of protests by Khalida Zia, Awami League of Haseena Wajid is much worried about the increasing popularity of Khalida Zia. In an address Parliament Committee Haseena Wajid said that her govt. is considering to include Khalida Zia in investigations as well in trial or case for smuggling or weapons to Assam Freedom Fighters and other leaders of Bangladesh National Party under investigation will be punished as well. In this address she also claimed to be equally responsible for smuggling of weapons quoting the reference by Bangladeshi Tribunal that Bangladeshi officials punished by this tribunal had close links with ISI through New Delhi. Moreover, she said that paperwork against 195 Pakistani soldiers have been completed and soon this case would be presented in court for trial as well.

Chief Prosecutor Bangladesh Dr Tureen Feroz briefing journalists about trial of 195 Pakistani soldiers

                 When media contacted Dr Tureen Feroz, Chief Prosecutor of Bangladeshi Law Ministry regarding trial of 195 Pakistani soldiers she said that tribunal had allowed registration of case and trial in this regard. Legal team of state lawyers is in the final stage for this trial. This trial would be registered against Tribunal act 1973. Chief Prosecutor told media that except Air Commodore Inaam-ul-Haq all other 195 Pakistani soldiers belong to Pakistan Army including 1 Lt General, 5 Major Generals, 20 Brigadiers, 4 Colonels, 40 Lt Colonels, 81 Majors, 41 Captains and 2 Lieutenants. Media insisted for names of those who would be prosecuted by in this trial so Chief Prosecutor disclosed name of Lt General Ameer Abdullah Niazi and 5 Major Generals, Major General Nazar Hussain Shah, Major General Muhammad Hussain Ansari, Major General Muhammad Jamshaid, Major General Abdul Majid Khan and Major General Rao Farman Ali, she asked journalists to wait for more names, she further included that trial of each Pakistani soldier would be separate and allegations against them are separate as well except only one similarity that they committed crimes on the soil of Bangladesh. 

After Success of Conspiracy "Idhr Tum; Udhr Hm" Expressions of Happiness by both Leaders; in this meeting it was announced that war crimes cases will not be registered against soldiers but now why Haseena Wajid is going to break promise of her Father?


                One journalist pointed out the agreement between India, Bangladesh and Pakistani in 1974 that trial of soldiers would not be held; Chief Prosecutor replied that as this agreement was not validated by Bangladeshi Parliament so Bangladesh is not bound by it but now 1973 Act is sufficient for this trial. On the question by journalists that out of 195 Pakistani Soldiers many have died; Barrister Muhammad Ameer Islam accompanying Chief Prosecutor replied that many are still alive against whom trial would be held as this is the wish of the Bangladeshi people and legally there is no hurdle in the trial.
                If Bangladeshi people wanted trial of 195 Pakistanis then why they remained silent for such a long time? Haseena Wajid should have done this in 1990 during her first reign. In the way Awami League aired the hatred against Pakistani and converted it into a political slogan for procuring votes; in different cities of Bangladesh fabricated stories of Pakistani army’s war crimes and propaganda against Pakistan have been converted into reality by statues in different “Theme Parks” to misguide new generation; rallies against Pakistan are being held against Pakistan; so are they laying foundation for unrest in the region? Our elite practicing criminal ignorance like ever, had felt any need to realize that what would be the impact of such trial over morale of Pakistani soldiers???

Pakistan Army Sacrificing Their Lives for Motherland!!!

Every drop of a martyr's blood reinforces foundation of NATION
Few days ago a discussion was going on Pakistan’s victory against India in cricket match at Dhaka Stadium after which Kashmiri students were arrested by Indian Police for allegedly cheering for Pakistani cricket team on a Pakistani Private TV Channel. Participants of the TV Program included famous Pakistani TV anchorpersons. Now this was only coincidence or inclinations of producer of the program, owner of the TV Channel, administration of TV Channel and policy of Channel that all three guest speakers were also followers of Fitnah of AMAN KI ASHA and having similar ideology against TWO NATIONS THEORY; all were believers that Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah wanted a “Moderate Pakistan; they explain Moderation as silence of Pakistan over Indian state terrorists (Army) violations of human rights in Indian Held Kashmir (IHK) and acts like genocide of Muslims in India in Gujarat in 2002.

                As the program started one of the guest speakers revealed that “Dhaka cricket stadium was located on the same area which was worst affected by the operation of Pakistan army in 1971 when Bangladesh was part of Pakistan. According to them in this area Pakistan army committed worst atrocities against Eastern Pakistanis but despite of all this the support of Bangladeshi crowd for Pakistani cricket team was exemplary and even sometimes more than Pakistani supporters which is a  clear message for Pakistan army that has now targeted Baluchistan and made life horrible for locals just like as Eastern Pakistan. Second guest speaker opened his mouth that why only Baluchistan whole country is controlled  by Pakistan army while politicians are nothing more than puppets; time has come that Pakistan army accepts the ground realities. In spite of discussing Indian defeat and hospitality of MOTHER OF DEMOCRACY towards Kashmiris students who dared to practice democracy by cheering for Pak cricket team, guest speakers quoted incident of terrorist attack at Islamabad courts by saying that when Police, judges or public is targeted Pakistan army does not react but if any personnel from armed forces is targeted “Surgical Strikes” are started against terrorists; than are not the public or employees -of other departments Pakistanis?”
 


Blood of Paksitani soldiers for motherland
                In this way these members of a special anti-Pakistan alliance did not waste the chance for propaganda against Pakistan army even in a talk-show for cricket. This propaganda is not limited to TV talk-shows; members of this group claiming themselves as Liberals and Moderates continue their propaganda against Pakistan army even in private meetings. They ignore that these are only Pakistani security agencies that are sacrificing their lives for the security of motherland despite of all the propaganda against them and this is army that will defend nation in case of any aggression from their financer, “India. This phenomenon needs our special attention that since 2008 politicians are in power than why only security agencies are target of propaganda? If reason for this propaganda is army’s interference in politics than there is the need to clarify all those factors that not only force Pakistan army to interfere into politics but sweets are also distributed by public.

                If we analyze the last half century; on the one hand we see our enemy by birth i.e. India who has been continuously involved in aggression and conspiracies against Pakistan while on the other hand we see Pakistan army as a favorite target of so-called liberalists, sub-nationalists and other treacherous elements working against integrity of Pakistan internally and externally by the international media controlled by a special lobby and this series is still going on. If we look at the 1965 war many analysts now accept this truth that purpose of Indian imposed war with the support of internal treacherous elements, was not to capture Pakistan but weaken Pakistan army to such an extent to surrender in front of Indian army so that Pakistan army never dares to challenge Indian plans in the region. Here few critics may attempt to provide justification to Indian aggression by criticizing Pakistan’s policy for Kashmir than they will have to negate statement of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah in which he claimed Kashmir as life-line of Pakistan. The reason behind Indian sponsored propaganda on international media because according to Indians this is only the Pakistan army that is only hurdle against unjustified Indian occupation of IHK otherwise all political parties are ready not only to ignore Kashmir and Indian water aggression but make Pakistan a market for Indian products and sub-state of India in the name of friendly relations towards India. Why Kashmir was termed as life-line for Pakistan; Pakistanis may not understand this now but in near future Pakistanis will realize the foresightedness of Quaid when whole Pakistan will be suffering extreme shortage of not only electricity but eatables as well due to shortage of water.
 
Martyrs of the Millat
                After the shattering of dream (conspiracy) of having drink of victory at Gymkhana Lahore; Indian rulers, Generals and Heads of secret agencies decided to make Eastern Pakistan main target of their conspiracies with the support of some notables from within Pakistan. Those who supported India in these conspiracies claimed themselves as SAVIOURS in spite of traitors as they claimed their treacherous acts as an attempt to free Pakistani public from Pak-Army by supporting India. In 1968 a separate cell was established in RAW that was responsible to cultivate hatred and suspicions against Pakistan Army in the hearts of Pakistani Public. This cell hired scholars, intellectuals, professors from universities and journalists for the propaganda against Pakistan army that army is engulfing scarce resources of Pakistan, maintaining tension with India over borders is in favor of Pakistan army, due to the presence of Pak-Army it is impossible for country to develop rapidly, army has suspicions against elected representatives of public, if Pakistanis want development than they should get rid of army only than friendly relations between Pakistan and India would be possible.

                Whatever game was played in Eastern Pakistan many characters of this game have been unveiled, the reality of stories of atrocities committed by Pakistan Army in Eastern Pakistan has been brought by Indian writers that all was part of propaganda campaign. In spite of unveiling of Indian propaganda campaign many Pakistani intellectuals (off springs of those who participated in propaganda campaign) at that time tell these stories as Pak-army had invited them to become eye witness. Now even this has been unveiled that soldiers of Pakistan army were kept in Indian prisons for two and half years at the will of Pakistani govt. of that time so that Pakistan army could be suppressed otherwise after Geneva pact India was bound to release Pakistani soldiers right after the cession of war.
 
One who cannot be termed as HUMAN how can claim to be MUSLIM
                After 1971, whatever happened in remaining Pakistan, all is the part of the history. However, after 2001 the strategy of propaganda against Pak-Army was changed; ISI and nuclear assets of Pakistan also were included into the targets of the propaganda. If we summarize the books, articles written, talk-shows etc. astonishingly whatever the situation has been propaganda against Pak-Army, ISI and Pak-Nukes have never been allowed to die down. In the professional way defense installations of Pakistan were targeted all seems to be concentrated only for one agenda that Pakistani nuclear assets are not safe and will fall in the hands of the terrorists anytime. Another shocking reality is that all such big attacks against defense installations were conducted only after power was handed over to the elected representatives in the name of struggle to impose Shariah in Pakistan so that terrorists could win sympathies of islamists and are not identified as foreign trained commandoes or guerilla fighters.
 
TTP Terrorists holding heads of beheaded soldiers
                In the way Sri Lankan Cricket team was targeted in 2009, Shariah was not imposed as a result however, Pakistani stadiums got barren (was not this the agenda of our eternal enemy India?). Attack over GHQ Rawalpindi carried the message that army that cannot secure its GHQ how will secure nuclear assets? Afterwards, attacks over Naval Orion P-3C airplanes on 22 May 2011 or attempt to target Pakistan Air Force’s jets at Peshawar on 16 August 2012 all were those assets that provided Pakistani Armed Forces superiority against idnai; than would targeting or destroying these national assets would have eased the imposition of Shariah or paved way for India to attack Pakistan? In the other words all anti-Pakistan terrorist activities to weaken Pakistani defense were covered as an attempt for imposition of Shariah through propaganda. Now if one asks a dumb fool that what is the meaning of weakening Pakistani defense and who would benefit; one will get the answer.

                The most painful and shameful aspect of the terrorism in Pakistan is beheading the abducted soldiers and then playing football with their heads which has created such an image of Islam internationally that has nothing to do with Islam. However, now Pakistani govt. is going ahead for peace talks with terrorists in order to restore peace but here question arises what would all these terrorists do after striking the deal or peace agreement? Suppose they get ready to lay down weapons and become part of Pakistan’s political system then will international powers accept role of these extremist parliamentarians especially those powers who are on the top list of propaganda that Pakistani nukes may fall in the hands of terrorists? Than this might be a changed strategy of enemies to bring in their trained and notorious terrorists into political system of Pakistani to fulfill their damn plan of falling of Pakistani nukes in the hands of terrorists…

Mother of Democracy Having Colorful Face with the Blood of Minorities Claiming to be Secular and Pakistan Centre of Extremists??

Signs of Secular India
            Sabra’s eyes were empty and silent as space but full of tears. Then suddenly as someone had broken the dam, her tears started flowing. That’s all was reaction of my questions. I just wanted to know that what happened with the family of Sabra and her family on the 08 September 2013. Sabra was trying to keep her lips as she was afraid that her lips might slip some words just as her eyes but she wanted to know the reality for which she had traveled so long. She had seen the poor condition of the people taking shelter but she wanted to know that what had been suffered by these women that not only had hurt their bodies only but souls as well. These women included girls as tender as ten years old to elderly women of sixty.

            She persisted in order to get the answer telling Sabra that being a women she knew the pain and sorrow Sabra was suffering through, she wanted to share her sorrow at least her plea bore fruit. Sabra took her to the end of the camp at a deserted place still weeping her 12 year old daughter Saju was also with her. Saju in spite of being alive was as devoid of emotions as a dead body. Sabra pressed her hand and said that how can she tell what happened, if she told that who will marry her Saju. They were too much in number, they took hold of Saju, laid her on the ground, stripped her clothes, shoed her. Saju was crying and begging to let her go, Sabra’s husband also begged that take my life but do not hurt Saju. Hindu rioters laughed and said that we will kill you but first witness the end of your daughter. They (Hindu rioters) gang raped Saju turn by turn and then took hold of the elder daughter of Sabra, she had already got fainted. Two boys stripped Sabra naked but she was just worried about her daughters. Hindu rioters pulled Sabra’s sister-in-law and raped her for being a Muslim woman. Afterwards these Hindus (terrorists in proper words) laid down her husband on the ground and cut him into pieces through axes.
           
Muslims living in a refugee camp
            When group of Hindu extremists left them, women tried to hide in the nearby crop field. There were many women of sabra’s village hiding there including, young girls, virgins, married, elderly and even underage girls but all were nude. After hiding for few hours in the sugarcane fields these women fled towards Kandhla village. When these women arrived there they came to know that other Muslim villages around them had met the same fate.

            Writer of this tragedy in the hands of Hindu terrorists that happened at Village Lakh Bawdi District Shamli of Uttar Pradesh India is Neha Dixit of Outlook published a news report titled Thread Bared. She visited village Kandhla in order to get aware of the sufferings of the Muslims who had taken refuge in refugee camps, where Muslims are still living a miserable life. Hindu terrorists with the support of Indian govt. attacked villages of Muslims Lakh Bawdi, Lisad, Bhogana, Kutba Kutbi, Kerana, Bodhana and Behvadi and molested Muslim women repeating barbaric acts of Tartars. More than 80 men were murdered in the hands of Hindus; what happened to Muslim women I do not have courage to pour it into words.


            According to Outlook Lakh Bawdi has a total population of 9,500; most of the village’s 1,200 Muslims live beyond the fields, in an area loca­lly called pallipaar, working as agricultural labourers, carpenters, washermen, butchers, tailors. Sugarcane farming, the primary occupation here, is the preserve—and the privilege—of the land-owning Hindu (and a handful of Muslim) Jats. However their status is lower than lower caste Hindus. According to Outlook an Indian newspaper the riots broke out as allegedly a Muslim boy in Kawal village had ‘eve-teased’ a Jat girl (though some say it was a traffic-related incident). Her brother and cousin apparently avenged the slight by killing the boy in last days of August 2013. Angered Muslims reached on the spot where the dead body of the boy was laying thus this created tense situation. After effects of this murder reached 20 Km away Muzaffarnagar city where after Friday prayer Muslims protested against the murder of the Muslims boy.

            After protest of Muslims, Hindus of Qawal village called a Panchayat against Muslims, what was decided by this Panchayat no one knows however, a rumor was spread in the nearby Hindu villages on the night of 7-8 September 2013 that Muslims had killed those Hindus who participated in the Panchayat and dumped their dead bodies in nearby canal that passed through the  Muslim majority area. As soon as the sun rose, those Hindus who had some humanity went to the Muslim’s houses and told them that if they want to save their lives they should leave their lives and take refuge in somewhere safe. Upon this Muslims from the village fled from their houses and took refuge at Billoo Pardhan’s mansion. Billoo Pardhan (Sudhir Kumar) was the elected head of the village and linked with Congress Party of India. Billoo Pardhan encouraged them that no one would harm them here and they are safe. From the Billoo Pardhan’s mansion they can clearly see the smoke rising from their village houses and listen to the cries of Muslims who were not either informed about the upcoming attack of Hindu extremists or got late to leave their houses. As time passed survivors and mutilated and raped women also arrived at the Billo Pardhan’s mansion to take refuge but after sometime Hindu rioters also attacked Billoo Pardhan’s mansion where Muslims refugees had taken refuge. Then Muslims realized that they had been cheated, gates of the Billoo Pardhan’s mansion were open for the Hindu extremists; Billoo Pardhan was under handed with the Hindu extremists despite of always securing support and votes from Muslims. Only those Muslims remained safe who in spite of going to the Billo Pardhan’s mansion went to the Kandhla village that was the biggest village with the Muslim majority. Whatever happened to the Sabra and her family, happened in Billoo Pardhan’s mansion where they took refuge.

            After passage of six months, Indian court at Muzaffarnagar has discharged the case on the ground that Muslims were responsible for the start of the tension as few Muslims delivered hateful speeches against Hindus on 6 September 2013. This is the decision of the biased Court of Mother of Democracy and Secular India. This is the Outlook who attempted to bring forward the ground realities otherwise Electronic and Print Media, Civil society of India and  supporters of secularism practiced criminal silence over such grave violation of basic human rights because India is a secular country and heaven for minorities (as atrocities committed by Hindu extremists and Terrorist govt. are not allowed to be reported). Our rulers and opposition leaders also did not feel any need to condemn this tragic incident because India is a secular country.
Kashmiri students telling their story
            Is this the first incident in which Muslims have been massacred or Muslim women have been raped? No! after every few years such like incident is repeated in India to assure the world that India is a secular country. In 1969 Muslims were murdered in cold blood at Ahmedabad, their properties were looted and set on fire because India is a secular and democratic country and heaven for minorities. In 1982 same was repeated at Muradabad to reinforce the claims of being a secular country. In 1984 Muslims of Bhawandli became target of Hindu extremism and terrorism, in 1989 Muslims of Bhakpur became the target of Hindu secularism. In 1987 once again thousands of Muslims were murdered to prove India a secular country as secular Hindus murdered and played with Muslims of Merath.
Bangladeshi spectator with Pakistani flag at Dhaka Cricket Stadium
            On 18 February 1983 the anti-Muslim riots at Neeli, Assam are considered as second to the loss human lives that occurred in World War-II because in these riots 14 villages of Muslims were wiped out. As India is a secular country so there is no record that how many Muslims were killed in these riots. On 6 December 1992 on the demolition of Babri Mosque uncountable numbers of Muslims were murdered and those Muslims who protested against state terrorism of Hindus were slaughtered by Indian Police and Hindu extremists to prove India a SECULAR Country. The massacre of Muslims in the hands of Hindu under the leadership Narindr Modi at Gujarat in 2002 is once again going to be repeated if Muslims of Gujarat dared to cast votes against Modi as Hindu extremists have warned Muslims that they will kill Muslims by pouring acid on them. Whole developed world is silent over this warning and Great Satan (USA) has assured that if Modi is elected as Prime Minister of India, she is ready to withdraw any sanctions against India and work hand in hand to prove India a secular country.

            On 2 March 2014 two days before the Pak-India Cricket match Indian media gave the impression as Dhaka is also “home ground” for Indian cricket team as they will have the support of Bangladeshi spectators. But on 2 March 2014 Dhaka Cricket stadium was not less than Lahore or Karachi filled with green Pakistani flags; on every shot by Pakistani cricketers Bangladeshi spectators supported Pakistani cricketers; this was not acceptable for Indian public and govt. In Swami Vivekanand Subharti University ( SVSU) Meerut 67 Kashmiris students who dared to cheer for Pakistani team forgot that they were in secular India where minorities have to take permission before expressing their emotions and happiness; moreover happiness of Kashmiris is unacceptable for Indians. So in order to maintain Hindu version of secularism it was necessary to expel these students from university and book them under charges of treason…

Public Facing Wrath of Poverty, Unemployment, Lawlessness and Terrorism!!!

Pakistan a mutual target of internal and external enemies
               Will the fate of common man ever change, will they ever enjoy prosperity, will their children get chance to be educated and will they get treatment if they get ill? Or this has been written in the constitution of Pakistan that law for common man and rich will be separate?  Why curriculum, school, environment at educational institutions, education, protection given by state, status, standard of living and other facilities given to rich and common man are different? Why child of poor is destined to be poor, when Constitution of Pakistan guarantees equal rights for everyone than why life, property and honor of poor is not extended protection by state? Why every day and every night is celebration for rich and elite while only patience for poor? Why their fate does not change? Dozens of such questions arise in the minds of poor class but vanish just like as a bubble on the surface of the water as they fail to get any response or answer.

                If we look at the collective situation of the country we see Pakistan is facing three types of attack internally and externally. Externally many forces are against Pakistan, although everyone is working on their own agenda and for their own interests but target is only Pakistan. Sindh is in the clutches of linguistic, sectarian clashes and criminal gangs while Baluchistan has been converted into epicenter of terrorism in the name of separatists. Punjab is apparently peaceful but abduction for ransom has become a profession while Khyber Pakhtoon Khwa (KPK) is in the clutches of terrorists playing with the cut heads and showcasing dead bodies over roads in the name of imposition of Islamic Sharia. Internally on the one hand there are terrorists who don’t care about the problems faced by the common man in their routine life but they just imposition of their version of Sharia neither they respect Constitution of Pakistan nor the principles of state that were specified by Holy Prophet Muhammad (صل اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) at the time of Victory over Makkah in his historic Sermon. They consider those who differ with their ideology have no right to live while on the other hand they term all their extremism as a struggle for imposition of Islam.
 
Keeping Green Flag high is not only the responsibility of Pak Armed Forces but whole nation
                Third force working against Pakistan is LIBERAL faction of our society; they are not only against Islam, Islamic values and culture but ideological base of Pakistan i.e. Two Nations Theory as well. In the name of liberalism and modernization they want Pakistan to be converted into a hell of adultery and immorality. According to them nudity is close to nature while profanity only way towards modernization and development. In such a situation where should common man go whose only goal is to make both ends meet. If they pay utility bills nothing remains for medical treatment; if they make it to buy treatment they get short of money to pay fee for education of children, neither those who are cutting throats in the name of imposition of Sharia nor the liberalists struggling to spread vulgarity in the society are concerned with these problems of general public, as long as elite class is concerned they damn care about the critical situation of common Pakistani. Only public has been crushed in the claws of increasing inflation, how a common man makes both ends to meet, what are impacts of increasing prices and unemployment over middle class and poor neither govt. nor opposition is concerned. They do not realize every sun brings war for survival for common man and sets by giving few hopes of a new day. Sun rises, sun sets but fate of Pakistani public is never changed; every day the struggle for survival is getting harder and harder for them.

                In such a situation this is the moral duty of our free electronic media to highlight the problems being faced by public and present solutions to resolve these problems as well but irony of fate is that majority of these channels is trying to impose Indian culture over Pakistan; they have nothing to show except Indian dances, songs and programs that are not against Islamic but Eastern values as well. Scripts of dramas are such that target family taboos and relations; although these incest stories are present in every society but they are never allowed to be advertised openly in any society.


                If prime time of TV channels has been fixed for talk-shows over terrorism in the country than we are missing something that this was the time when indifferent of being poor or rich everyone enjoyed TV dramas with whole family. Whether these dramas were of longer period or short one, they carried some positive message for the improvement of society. Have we forgotten bomb blasts from Bori Bazar Karachi to Peshawar, from Hyderabad, Multan, Faisalabad, Lahore etc. which city was safe from remote control bomb blasts? Media of that time kept people abreast of these events of terrorism but terrorists were not presented as a party to govt. Perhaps few readers may contradict with my opinion but I am of the view that today’s free electronic media is playing filthy role in spreading the extremism in country by struggling to prove Two Nations Theory wrong, attempting to pressurize Pakistanis to accept India as a ‘Giant’ and policy of spreading vulgarity. That is why our today’s generation is ignorant of Ashfaq Ahmed, Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Ahmed Faraz and Fatima Suraya Bajiya and well accomplished with Indian actors, singers and movies.
 
Beheaded dead bodies over a deserted road in Mohmand Agency
                Take problem of terrorism as an example nation is unable to understand that what should they do? Should they trust those who play football with human heads that they do not have any link with the bomb blast on 3rd March 2014 at Rawalpindi courts (astonishingly those who have always accepted the responsibility for different terrorist attacks claiming lives of at least 50 thousand innocents have condemned attack over Rawalpindi courts) or trust non-stop terrorism? Nation only knows that few days pass by peacefully and than a heart breaking news becomes fate of the nation. Nation does not know that who were planners and executers of terrorist attacks and bomb blasts during last decade, who provided suicide jackets and what is the reality of those who confess and accept responsibility for terrorist attacks? On whose orders they give such statements, why nation should believe that these elements do not have any link with Rawalpindi Bomb blast because few days ago these people were not ready to stop terrorism and accept anything less than imposition of their version of sharia. During negotiations 23 soldiers of FC were forced to sit on the chairs and tell their names and names of their fathers and afterwards their throats were cut and video was recorded and uploaded to internet. This jolted the whole nation; afterwards it was reported that these soldiers were martyred in Afghanistan where they were abducted and kept by Mulla Fazl Ullah group since 2010. Before this 13 Police personnel had already became target of terrorists and terrorists justified their act by claiming it as a revenge; woe and anger over these incidents have not subsided that another video of throwing beheaded bodies over a deserted road in Mohmand Agency was uploaded as well. After this govt. negotiating committee apologized from continuing process of negotiations that were not being held through mutual meetings but through statements over TV Channels that was in itself a joke. At least whatever terrorists had to do they did but members of negotiating committee failed to get out of the spell of TV cameras. On the other hand after a long absence Prime Minister of Pakistan from Parliament said that before using power against terrorists in Pakistan he would like to give a last chance to TTP to restore peace through peace talks; over this those who were in favor of operation against TTP kept silent on this hope that when they have borne this for many years giving a little more time is of no value.
 
Who are these beheading the innocents?
                Prime Minister announced names of Negotiation Committee during speech as a reaction TTP also announced names of their negotiators who were to talk for the restoration of peace. But in spite of secret links and talking on some unknown places neogitiators from both sides made TV channels their means for communication; during these talk-shows this was also observed that anchorperson invited member from one side in his studio and took the member from other side online and in this way stance of both sides was made a difficult equation to be solved for public to discuss. Due to this 50 thousand innocents killed in terrorist attacks, sacrifices of Armed Forces, Intelligence Agencies and Law Enforcement agencies, loss of trillions to the property and investment due to these attacks were ignored and it was portrayed as two parties having different ideologies are tied up in a discussion. However, despite of all this child’s play, Pakistani nation, armed forces and Civil departments supported govt. stance that may be in this way (even through Talk-shows) peace may be restored. Alas! This did not happen and more people got martyred.

                TTP’s proclamation for cease fire for one month for peace-talks was also after Pakistan Air Force’s successful surgical strikes over strong holds of TTP which was warmly welcomed by those having wish for peace. Govt. of Pakistan also welcomed TTP’s announcement but before this cease-fire had any meaning terrorists attacked Rawalpindi courts martyring a Session Judge and many lawyers. Why Session Judge was targeted? Was hearing some sensitive cases or some important accuse was to be produced in his court? In both cases terrorist might have succeeded in achieving their goals by openly giving blood bath to TTP’s cease fire or peace but where should public hide? One the one hand public has to face inflation, unemployment and on the other hand wrath of terrorism, yes! This is the wrath in which murdered does not why they are being murdered and what loss they have caused to murderers and murderers does not know that why they are killing others along with exploding their own bodies. Who will be next target; no one knows… May Almighty Allah have mercy (amen)!!!

Effects of Unending Chaos in the Country Over Younger Generation of Pakistan


                 Few days ago I had to go through a strange incident that forced me to write over this topic. On Abdali Road a VIP vehicle either of a politician or a state servant was coming from SP Chowk; in the meanwhile a well-dressed bike rider fell down while trying to avoid collision with one of the protocol vehicles escorting the said VIP. Driver of the protocol vehicle was in a hurry to keep up with the speed of the VIP and arrive at destination quickly so he did not pay any attention to the youngster who fell down from the bike. Those who are familiar with Multan would know that fiscal institutions and commercial buildings constructed without any planning and parking facilities have created hurdles in the flow of the traffic. Especially when any minister or VIP state servant has to pass this road a strange hassle is observed in which everyone is trying to save himself from the vehicles of the VIP’s convoy. Riders of big vehicles (Pakistanis) do not care however, riders of small vehicles and poor motorcyclists and cyclists had to save their lives.
               
                Such like situation was being faced by the youngster who fell down from the motorbike. As I was on the footpath near him so I quickly moved towards him but he has stood up before I reached. Blood was seeping out of the bruises he got due to falling on the road however, he did not get any serious injury. The after effects of falling onto the ground were clear on his dress that had stains of dirt as well as was torn away from few places. I enquired the youngster while helping him to stand up his motorbike, he burst up. First of all he poured out anger against the VIP due to whom he fell down and afterwards watching his dress and outlook he got out of control. He started trembling either with sorrow or emotions and tears rolled down from his eyes. I was neither ready for such situation nor able to understand it. Youngster was quite healthy, bruises over his body were not of such nature that he gets out of control nor the stains over his dress were such that a man starts weeping. Watching the situation of the youngster I offered him a bottle of water to drink but he turned down my offer and started cursing the VIPs, state servants, society and rulers as corrupt, moral less etc. whatever came to his mind. He was speaking and weeping as well.
 
Unemployment! Fate of Pakistani youth?
                I asked him to be thankful to Allah Almighty that his life and he has been saved from some big loss. He said if here in this country there is no value of humanity than there is no need to be worried, in 1947 Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah won us freedom from English imperialism but freedom from “black and local English” is yet to be achieved. Our system that is apparently democratic but if one is riding over the Elephant of the state or power than others appear to him some lower valued species rather than human beings; while if the Elephant is big or powerful than he considers other human beings as insects. So despite of living in the so-called independent society of 21st century the elites of this country treat public as slaves than there is no need to cry over it or take it to heart.

                After hearing few words of compassion from me; he told me that he was unemployed since long and today he was going for an interview hoping to get a job but seems he is not lucky enough to get employed. After completing masters from Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan 3 years he applied for hundreds of jobs out of which for few he was called for interview but only those were selected who had strong reference or a close relation or link with those who move in the luxury vehicles. On that day although he got the call for interview but fate played double game with him.
 
Lucky Students of Private Universities to procure job offers even before completing their education
                I comforted him, if he was worried due to getting late than there is no need to worry because just like corruption, nepotism, hoarding, black-marketing, fraud, misrepresentation and adulteration of goods, being late and wasting time has also become our national identity. However, dirty and worn out clothes were a serious problem because job is given keeping in view one’s dressing. I advised him to get a shot of Tetanus vaccine as this was necessary. After reading the news report of Aliyan’s death last Friday due to Tetanus as he got infection after falling on to the road. He got some hope after talking to me and left for his destination. But my thoughts got entangled between the increasing numbers of educated unemployed youth. If even after getting degrees from universities our youth is left to wander in search of jobs; when standard for getting a job would be reference in spite education or capability than what would be the fate of the country? Than what is the use of these universities that are spreading pessimism among the youth in spite of preparing them for the development of the motherland; youth is losing trust over society, equality, honesty and even from themselves. In spite of becoming mentors of the motherland these youngsters are playing in the hands of criminal gangs and persons. On the power of easily available weapons they are adopting street crimes; taking increasing inequality in the society as justification they are getting involved in robberies and upon being at large they become courageous enough to involve abduction for ransom and claim it as revenge from the society. These unemployed and hopeless youngsters even forget the meaning of forgiveness and affection due to the inequality of the society. Moreover, what have we given to our youth except hopelessness and chaos; neither we are aware of Islamic values nor of the Eastern norms; the meaning of Islam has been changed to violence due to personal versions and ego. Holy Quran has been made a book to take false oaths, giving as a gift to brides or for keeping in the cupboards respectfully wrapped in the beautiful covers. Education for guidance is also just like as a commodity for sale, go and buy whatever type of education you like, costly or cheap. This is the reason that students of private universities get job offers even before completing their education.
 
Educated Degree Holder Students protesting against unemployment
                Irony of the fate is that Pakistan is the only country of the world where even in this modern and developed era feudal system is still in power; only few hundred families own 81% of land, they do not do anything but 51% of the Pakistani population work over the lands of these feudal lords and income is transferred in the accounts of these feudal lords. That is why since 1947, we have been unable to provide universal education system. Dozens of different curriculum are being taught in Pakistan, separate curriculum for elites, other for middle class and for poor or others there is no education or curriculum at all. On the other hand the increasing population; than what does this mean that younger generation should be left to wander in the darkness? The result of this ignorance would be nothing less than collective destruction of the whole nation. Our youngsters does not lack talent, their love for motherland is also exemplary; this could be imagined from the world’s largest human flag of Pakistan made by Pakistani youngsters few days ago despite of severe rain and cold. Whether these modern fields of study or co-curricular activities; Pakistani youngsters can be traced in the top of the list. The only hurdle that Pakistani youth has to face is lack of guidance and equal chances which is impossible without the supervision of govt. The top important requirement is the universal curriculum for the whole country so that in the educational institutions students can progress on the basis of their intelligence, capability and hard work, not on the basis of their social status, family background, references, bribe or nepotism. All this would be possible only when our elite aborts culture of show off and snobbery which is a big question mark?. 
3rd Convocation without Chancellor, is this due to falling standard and rank of BZ University?
        This is the result of the show off of the wealth that on the one hand religious extremism is spreading while on the other liberal extremism is spreading like a wild fire. The riots at Peshawar University on the eve of Valentine Day point towards the tension prevailing between the liberal and religious extremist groups that erupted up as the incident of putting hostel rooms on fire. At least what is the reason that tolerance is vanishing from our younger generation? No one is ready to listen or tolerate others beliefs or stance. Here comes the responsibility of our media to come ahead and play its role to start discussions so that younger generation in spite taking the path of violence learns the way of solving their problems through negotiations.

                In the end I would like to mention the Bahauddin Zakariya University, due to the problem of this university I was forced to write this column; University’s responsibility is not to hand over degree to its students and leave them to wander but also keep an eye that what problems are being faced by its passed out students. If teacher is given the status of spiritual father than educational institution is known as spiritual mother; how is it possible that children are wandering and facing problems in procuring jobs while mother and father are enjoying. Probably my wordings might hurt administration of the university that they can only impart education not the jobs; I also do not mean so. But only if responsible officials understand it…
