MARCH 23, PAKISTAN AND WE !
Salam, Duaien and Happy Pakistan Day !
We all have been told, taught and taken to believe that on March 23, 1940 at Manto Park Lahore ML Session a Resolution was tabled by Maulvi A K Fazle Haq, Sher-e-Bengal which was unanimously approved and became 'THE LAUNCHPAD' for creation of State of Pakistan.
We also know for sure that word Pakistan did not figure out in that Resolution...it talked of states and areas.....
We also know that One State 'Pakistan' came in via an amendment in the original Resolution moved by H S Suharwardi [another leader from Bengal - It ought to bother us that Bengalis were the forerunners of Pakistan Movement so what forced them to change course - persistent mistakes, injustice and bad governance...may be?] in 1946 Session of ML CEC.
We (most of us) are what we are..... due to Pakistan...
We also know that ALL THE BENEFICIARIES have acted like Scavengers and lynched Pakistan in every conceivable manner.....AND THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS WHATSOEVER.
We also must admit that soon after creation of Pakistan 'THE CENTRE STAGE' was occupied by those who did not/still do not believe in PAKISTAN.
We also must acknowledge that we failed to become A NATION because THE HYENAS [Those who held the reins] were only concerned for THE BONES...had no COMMITMENT, no VISION, no RESOLVE and no FEAR OF PEOPLE AND ALLAH SWT {STILL HAVE NONE}...so the Method and Application for becoming a Nation never became part of practical curricula.
Incompetence of Political leadership sowed frustration and reaped Military dictatorship...Dictators who were not trained and had no capacity to lead the Nation so the Sycophancy overwhelmed them very early in their mis-adventures.
We made State of Pakistan a Heaven for anti-state elements (called non-state actors nowadays)...State became butt for everything....and those who dared to talk against the bad governance and stupid, self-serving, rotten leadership were/are promptly termed TRAITORS.....
Killers/Traitors from all Walks of Life are given a place of respect... and..... AUTHORITY bends AWKWARDLY AND READILY to sit with and pay salutation to THUGS.
TRUE PAKISTANIS ARE A 'FOR GRANTED COMMODITY'....THEY MUST FACE TRIAL, TRIBULATION, HUMILIATION AND RENDER SACRIFICES....LIFE, PROPERTY AND HONOUR.
'Freedom of Expression' is a basic human right and must be respected and nurtured but in PAKISTAN IT IS BEING EXERCISED BY ONLY ONE SGMENT OF SOCIETY - THE MEIDA where it has attained hitherto unknown, unethical and unacceptable dimensions..NO HOLDS BARRED coercion is THE ORDER OF THE DAY...Very Foundation and Pillars of State are attacked without any fear of accountability or remorse.
WE ALSO MUST ADMIT THAT ALLEGIANCE OF OUR LEADERS [POLITICAL, RELIGIOUS AND POTENTIAL] IS GUARANTEED TO LANDS OUT OF PAKISTANI BORDERS....NEAR OR FAR....MAY IT BE US, BEDUIN KINGDOMS, KIASERS OR KISRAS.
Ideas/opinions by ordinary Pakistanis ANYWHERE are disallowed AS INDIANS/DOGS WERE NOT... AT PLACES IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY. IT IS A ONE MAN GANG...WHICH RUNS THE SHOW ...Disagreements have no room.....and Dissenters must find a place somewhere in Gulf Countries if they have the money or GO FOR HIKING.
LOT OF THINGS HAPPENING AROUND, AGITATE AND IRRITATE ME AND MY QUESTION TO ALL FRIENDS IS 'DO YOU TOO'? DO YOU SEE THE OVERFLOWING CHEERING CROWDS IN BANGLADESH DURING CRICKET MATCHES....TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND............................?
THE FAILURE IS COLLECTIVE SO IS THE RESPONSIBILITY TO GET UP AND GET GOING.
HOPE IS THERE, WE STILL MAY BE ABLE TO 'AFFECT A RETURN'....DO WE HAVE THE WILL?
HAPPY PAKISTAN DAY ... and I sign off with Prayers and following quote :
Guard the freedom of ideas at all costs.
Be alert that dictators have always played on the natural human tendency to blame others and to oversimplify.
And don't regard yourself as a guardian of freedom unless you respect and preserve the rights of people you disagree with to free, public, unhampered expression.
AKHTAR N JANJUA
