Lest We Forget 🌈 ...

Salam and Duaien ...

Friends, 72 years have passed since that memorable day ... 11 Aug 1947 ... Just to refresh, I went through the inaugural speech of Quaid-e-Azam, to the Constituent Assembly. I request each one of you to do that ...

Shall copy here just few observations and 'TO BE DONE' instructions of the Quaid:-

"You will no doubt agree with me that the first duty of a government is TO MAINTAIN LAW AND ORDER, so that the LIFE, PROPERTY and RELIGIOUS BELIEFS of its subjects are FULLY PROTECTED BY THE STATE.

*You are free; you are free to go to your temples; you are free to go to your mosques or to any other place of worship in this State of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion or caste or creed – that has nothing to do with the business of the State. As you know, history shows that in England conditions, some time ago, were much worse than those prevailing in India today. The Roman Catholics and the Protestants persecuted each other … The people of England in course of time had to face the realities of the situation and had to discharge the responsibilities and burdens placed upon them by the government of their country and they went through that fire step by step. Today, you might say with justice that Roman Catholics and Protestants do not exist; what exists now is that every man is a citizen, an equal citizen of Great Britain and they are all members of the Nation.

Now, I think we should keep that in front of us as our ideal and you will find that in course of time Hindus would cease to be Hindus and Muslims would cease to be Muslims, not in the religious sense, because that is the personal faith of each individual, but in the political sense as citizens of the State.*

The second thing ------ IS BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION. That really is a poison. We must put that down with an iron hand -------

BLACK-MARKETING ---- I think they ought to be very severely punished ...

The next thing that strikes me is ---- THE EVIL OF NEPOTISM AND JOBBERY. I want to make it quite clear that I shall never tolerate any kind of jobbery, nepotism or any any influence directly or indirectly brought to bear upon me."

On this 11th Day of August 2019, where do we stand in the light of aforementioned points?  ... 

Failure interspersed with (just) occasional Brilliance. 

11 August 47 had :-

VICTORY, HOPE, JUBILATION, WIIL TO DO, SENSE OF ACHIEVEMENT, UNITY, FAITH AND DISCIPLINE ...

HOPE we must have ... WE CAN CONVERT HOPE TO REALITY ... IF WE REMEMBER WHAT QUAID ASKED US TO DO ... and ... DO WE MUST.

Life is a bumpy journey ---- PEAKS and VALLEYS are always there. 'Blessings in Abundance' are packed in its Right Pocket by the Creator, and in its Left, we accumulate Miseries through our Exploits ---- Blessings must get the due GRATITUDE and Miseries be reflected upon for the FRESH START ...

'Past be in the Present' as a Launchpad to reflect, infer and act  . . .

WE MUST:-

Look Inward . . . Take Stock . . . Rubbish the DENIAL . . . Repent and Resolve . . . DIRTY DEEDS ... NO INDULGENCE in Future . . .

Go to the Drawing Board . . . Chalk out a NEW COURSE . . . Loaded with the FAIR-PLAY . . . Run the Course as it must be . . . Carve out the Victory . . .

Do we Have it? . . . Can we climb the Mountain?

WE CAN, WE MUST, WE SHALL IN SHA ALLAH ...

370/35- India, Pakistan and Kashmir.  (not on 11 August) THE QUAID HAD TERMED KASHMIR AS THE JUGULAR OF PAKISTAN.

We must not/we will not let our Jugular to bleed and get severed ... Our Kashmiri Brothers/Sisters/Children must know that the DESTINATION SUCCESS lies at the end of the Path of Pain. You have walked the Path of Pain for better part of a Century ... Destination Success is just around the corner. You have embarked upon the last leg of  painful journey ... WE ARE WITH YOU ... WERE THERE, ARE and EVER WILL BE ... IN SHA ALLAH.

میرے وطن تیری جنت میں آئیں گے اک دن

ستم شعاروں سے تجھ کو چھڑائیں گے اک دن 

{Resolve and Strength of Character,  Costly Commodities Off-Course . . . but ... have been around since the time, MAN CAME INTO BEING ...}

کشمیر جنت نظیر پاے گا اپنے خوابوں کی تعبیر انشاء اللہ

سدا سلامت پاکستان ۔ تا قیامت پاکستان
