Pakistan Police, to protect and to serve!

Police are a obligatory part of our society, to control the increasing crimes in our localities. But here comes the sad part, whenever we see a policeman we welcome them with a frowning face. Today I want you to take a different look at a policeman. Have you ever wonder that inside that uniform there is a common man, a common man who also had feelings, a common man who is also affected by the rate of inflation, same like us or I can say somewhat more than us. Taking a closer look, we see a man in uniform holding a gun have a salary in between 8500 PKR to 11000 PKR, who is ready to fight the criminals who have more advanced weapons than him. Let us ask ourselves would we be able to sacrifice our lives and be ready to fight the crime in this dangerous world for only Rupees 8500 per month, indeed it’s a difficult decision to be made. 
I have always said in my blogs that don’t criticize the after effects, without condemning the root cause! The major impression of a policeman in front of us is a man in uniform, having a gun with a big belly, big dangerous moustaches, ready to take a bribe, standing at the corner of the road looking for the riders so that he may stop them and get some cash. Do we ever think why he is doing all this? Rs. 8500/= is the answer, in the present era when a electricity bill goes minimum Rs. 3000, plus house rents, gas, water  & sewerage bills, schools fee, household expenditure , do you still think the salary is enough for it? Thus a man who is fighting a crime, whose life is always at risk and he is living on the edge, but despite that he is getting paid very low, this makes him do crime in its own way. In this way he makes his living and also earns people’s hate along with it. I am not defending his illegal acts, but clarifying what really the root cause of the problem is!
We should appreciate that a policeman is ready to sacrifice his life just for his country although getting paid very low. The government should take notice, to increase the salaries of policeman, to provide them latest weapons so that they can protect themselves and the people. The government should provide them colonies and free educations, to free their minds from tensions of their kid’s future so that they will be able to serve the public and perform their duties with utmost honesty.
As I mentioned in a blog before on the positive activities on the Youth Intelligentsia, this time they have planned to make a program to give a tribute to the common policeman, and also make efforts so that government should provide facilities to the officials so that they may be able to perform their duties and serve as per the standard. Youth Intelligentsia will also make a forum for the police officers, where their children will be provided scholarships as well. The gaps between the police and the youth will be tried to decrease so that the upcoming educated youth will be eager to join the police force. The more educated young man inducted in police force will make a more healthy and positive environment where the propagation of corruption will be difficult and almost impossible.
Many of them are performing their duties honestly; they should be given respect and honor. They got threatened, injured, martyred but despite this they are still ready to serve, an honest policeman is bearing this and still being faithful with his country and vision.

We live in a country - Pher bhe dil hai Pakistani

Yesterday I received a sms from a very close friend; it was about some individualitied of our country Pakistan, I love to share them with you these unique qualities. 

We live in a country where Pizza home delivery is faster than Ambulance and police services. Indeed, yesterday I was on a road when I saw the collision of two bikers, both of them on the ground, immediately I and other people on the road stopped and help them getting up, one of the man was okay while the other one’s leg seems to be broken, the swelling was high. The man requested to call his brother, we called his brother to come and take him to hospital, by the time when we were sitting with the injured man on the road, a police mobile passed but sadly they don’t even bother to stop and see what has happened and why the people are gathered here, it was shocking for me as the main slogan of the city police as they title themselves as “Madadgaar” (Helpers), but I was amazed to see the helping attitude, maybe they thinking that leaving a person idle is more helpful to the injured person then to help him and making it a police case where treatment comes after investigation. Despite that the attitude of the local people was very helpful, people stopped by and help him to call his brother, many people stopped and asked if they need an ambulance. Reading this some of you might think that it’s not the duty of the police, but during our stay we have also seen a traffic police constable going but he also don’t even bothered to stop by and look into the matter, maybe his duty time was over or maybe it is not his duty area. The local people, who stopped, stayed with the man till the end helping him to support his injured leg.

We live in a country where rice is more than Rs. 90/ per kg but the mobile SIM is almost free. Just open the TV pick up a news channel 90% advertisement are about the free promotional offers offered by the mobile companies, in a country where above 80% people have not access to clean drinking water what is the point of getting our communication systems to utmost heights while the same time a common man is struggling to get food for two times. Sad but true, the mobile companies also review their corporate social responsibility.

We live in a country where shoes are sold in the air conditioned show rooms but the vegetable are sold on footpaths. This is another example of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.

We live in a country where lemon juice is sold with artificial flavor but the dishwashing soap is filled with real lemon. A funny fact indeed.

We live in a country where the leading class having fake degrees while the authentic degree holder is jobless. Another dilemma, but though it is because of our ignorance, we are ourselves responsible for this. Ever asked an educated young man to whom they vote the first thing you might hear is he telling you proudly that he do not belong to any political group and didn’t vote all his life. When the people don’t vote and don’t strive for a better government then it is obvious that they have handed over the system to the criminals who are thus authorized to make their own systems, rules and laws.

It is our duty to vote and select a leadership which is true and sincere, who must have religious background so that they are able to distinguish between the good and the bad.

Liyari Situation: Rebellions Unearthed!

 “A gorilla fight against a group will be so difficult and almost impossible if the local public is supporting the group.”

This is what happened in Swat, the local public of Swat were supporting Taliban when they came, and after the army entered they hold a rally in the support of the Shariah law and demand that government should compromise with the TTP. Later the matter was out of hand and we saw a big inter country migration as well loss of lives on both sides. It took a long time for army to take control of that area, it was difficult.

Go back; see the history of Sri Lanka, yes the Tamil rebellions were strongly supported by the local public of the area. It took decades for Sri Lankan army and loss of several lives on both sides to finally occupy the area. 

India has various freedom movements going within it, there is a large area which is under the control of rebellions and there are some areas where Indian police army or security forces can’t even enter.

Not so long ago, we saw the Russian invasion in Afghanistan the whole Afghan nation fought against the invasion of the Russia and later we saw the breaking of Russian states into several new countries of the central Asia. Just because it was the support of local population that they oppose the foreign invasion, the gorilla fighters might not need weapons or the money, but the history has shown that their greatest desire is the moral support from their people. With the moral support of the local community they will automatically get what it will require to win a fight. 

Thus, what will be an effective government strategy in countering the gorilla rebellions that they should first spread the negative opinion about the rebellions so that they may lose the support from the local community, once this is done, the government forces can easily capture the area, as then no one will be there to hide the rebellions in their homes as well.

However we can not compare the above situation with the situation I’m describing below, above I have mentioned several national and international rebels, but below is a story of a small area in Karachi, the purpose of telling the above all scenario is the situation of Liyari, most of the population is Baloch, the leaders of the Peoples Aman Committee Sardar Uzair Jan, Habib Jan, etc whether the government call them dacoits, the mafia or the rebellion group, but it’s a fact that they have the support of local community of Liyari, previously their ancestor Abdul Rehman Baloch (a.k.a Dakait) was also the most popular person among the local community, this support was more evident on his death when a lot of women and children came on the roads of Liyari and the nearby areas and protested against his death, they were claiming that he was killed under police custody. This is a bird eye view, well if we research deeply we may find out a different situation. Right now if the police do operation and will enter the area, the rebellions have the option that the local people might let them hide in their homes, thus on further operation the local community will suffer.
