تھر، بھوک پیاس افلاس، ورلڈ ریکارڈز اور سندھ فیسٹیول

ایک ماں اپنے دو بچوں کو مار دیتی ہے، شوہر گھر میں پیسے نہیں دیتا تھا اور بچے بھوک سے تڑپتے رہے، ماں کا بیان ہے کہ وہ اس تکلیف کو دیکھ نہ سکی اور اپنے بچوں کو بھوک سمیت تمام غموں سے نجات دلا دی. مجھے ذاتی طور سے اس طرز عمل سے بے حد اختلاف ہے کیوں کہ مایوسی کفر ہے. اسلام نے اسی وجہ سے مایوسی کو کفر کا درجہ دیا ہے، اللہ سے ہمیشہ اچھی امید رکھنی چاہیے.

ہم سب نے اس ہی دن سے حکومت کو تنقید کا نشانہ بنانا شروع کیا اور کرنا بھی چاہیے. حضرت عمر (رض) کا قول ہے کہ "دجلہ کے کنارے کوئی کتّا بھی بھوکا مر گیا تو وہ سمجھتے ہیں کہ ان سے پوچھ ہوگی". لیکن دوسری جانب ہم یہ واقعہ دیکھتے ہیں کہ سندھ فیسٹیول ہوتا رہا، اس پراجیکٹ پر جتنا خرچہ ہوا وہ بھی ظاہر ہے، اس ناچتے تھرکتے فیسٹیول میں کسی کی نظر اس جانب نہیں گئی کہ سو سے زائد بچے تھر میں بھوک سے بلک بلک کر موت کی آغوش میں جا سوئے.

حکومت اپنے فرض سے غافل رہی تو لوگوں کا فرض کیا صرف یہی رہ گیا کہ وہ حکومت پر تنقید کریں اور چپ ہوجائیں، مجرم صرف حکومت نہیں اس گھر کے پڑوسی بھی ہیں جس گھر میں دو بچے مار دیے گئے کیا اس گھر کے آس پاس جو لوگ بستے تھے کیا وہ پتھر کے بنے ہوئے احساس سے عاری بُت تھے. اتنا پتھر دل تو وہ پتھر بھی نہیں ہوتا اپنے سینے سے کونپل پھوٹنے دے کر زندگی کو جنم دیتا ہے. کیا یہ انسان اس سے بھی زیادہ گئے گزرے تھے. حدیث میں ہے "تم میں سے ہر شخص راعی ہے اور اس سے اس کی رعیت کے بارے میں سوال ہوگا". کیا جواب ہمارے پاس ہے کہ کیوں وہ معصوم قتل کردیے گئے اور کسی کو خبر تک نہ ہوئی!

حکمرانوں کو بیشک تنقید کا نشانہ بنایا جائے لیکن یہ بھی دیکھا جائے کہ انہیں منتخب کر کے مسندِ اقتدار پر فائز کرنے والے ہم ہی لوگ ہیں.

اب بھی اس غلطی کو سدھارا جا سکتا ہے، پاکستان آرمی، الخدمت، جماعت الدعوہ اور دوسری فلاحی تنظیموں نے تھر کے صحراؤں میں غذا کی قلّت پوری کرنے کا کام شروع کردیا ہے. زیادہ سے زیادہ عطیات کے ذریعہ ہم اپنا فرض ادا کرسکتے ہیں. دوسری بات اپنے پڑوسیوں کے حقوق کا ہر ممکن خیال رکھیں. اللہ ہمیں اس کی ہمت و توفیق دے.

12 May: Black Day / Karachi on fire!

12 May 2007, “Black Day” was the title given by the people of Pakistan while the dictator of that era titled it as “People’s Power Show”, Unbelievable? Believe It!

It was the morning when chief justice Iftikhar Chaudhry who was dismissed by the dictator president and chief of army staff Musharraf was coming Karachi to attend a conference for the restoration of the judiciary. There were some parties were coming to support the cause they were holding rallies while some parties were organizing rallies for some other matters, the venue was almost same. A massive clash started between some parties soon began in which free use of weapons was seen, the Shahrah e Faisal was closed from all sides for security purpose of the rallies (or for some other reasons) there was no way left to run, there was a major clash in which more than 50 people were killed, the gunmen do their job the whole day without any fear while the police and rangers were out of the scene. The criminals holding weapons fearlessly, weapons were being supplied continuously in cars, some government number plate cars has also been seen doing the same job that day, the media started showing the scene as on that day many media personnel were out there for the coverage of rallies they hid themselves and started to film the lawbreakers which was shown live on the news channels, due to this reason some gunmen started to fire at the building of the news channel which was covering the scene and showing the faces of the gunmen.

The interesting thing, the video recorded by the channels showing the gunmen also showing the party flags affixed on their vehicles in this way the news channel viewers also came to know that to which parties they actually belong.

The day passed, next morning a flag march was organized by the rangers visiting the affected areas. The political parties and the leaders started to blame each other while on the other hand claiming the affiliation of the deceased men with their parties. They were demanding that the responsible should be punished. Some parties still showing different figures of their workers died every time.

Every year when 12 May come, there might be mourning in the homes of those who were deceased but still the administration is not taking any action, the government compromised on the issue and the chief justice of Supreme Court is silent on this topic. Today it’s 12 May 2012, six years passed, but the relatives as well as a normal person of Karachi are still looking forward to the government, administration and judiciary for the justice.

P for Parliament - P for Puppets

Once again the foreign authorities has used Pakistani parliament to carry on their mission. The parliament has relieved the NATO supply, the major parties involve in the decision are PPP, MQM, PML (N), PML (Q), JUI (F), ANP. The interesting part is the press release which was released after the decision was so hypocritically modified that when you take a glance at it, you will never know what had really happened. This is another example of tactics of our so-called-free-media. It seems like not only parliament and these paid politicians the stake holders of media are also under the influence and are in tight grip of the foreign authorities.
The era of dictatorship, dictator President Parvez Musharraf agreed to align with US, he agreed with them to provide the ports, air bases and land routes, Pakistan was under sold in this way and this campaign was named "Sub Say Pehle Pakistan". Later the situation proved that this was the worst decision taken in the history of Pakistan, which spread terrorism in Pakistan. People had expected that the new elected government will make decisions according to the will of the public, but the time has proved that the people's party is no more a people's party, because American influence increased under their supervision, the drone attacks increased, the footsteps of the dictator are followed more than ever. On the Raymond Davis incident, the whole nation was united at a point that he should not be freed and handed over to USA, but they did it. On the issue of Dr. Afia the public was expecting that the government might take a bold step, but again they
show their cowardice.
On the NATO supply issue again the people of Pakistan were expecting a good step, they should know that a puppet always dances the way the strings are moved, and again a condemnable step is taken. This time they made alliance with many parties in the decision so that no one can blame "only" them about the NATO supply release.
On the decision made by the parliament, news released which you can see on this link. You can see that from the words used in the press release are such that in a glance no one can identify that NATO supply is released. One would be expecting that the free media should be showing a special report on the issue and show headlines like "NATO supply has been released" "the parliament had done it again", but instead we can see that complete silence on the media in fact some news channels had praise the decision and said that it will bring PAK-USA relations to normalization.
This exposed the so-called-free-media face in the public. At this step it is a point to rethink that to which we are going to vote in the upcoming elections are you voting for them, who sold Pakistan's dignity and freedom. Or you will go to vote for them who speak against the American influence on the parliament and their oppression in the borders areas of Pakistan. Are you going to support the parties that make it possible to make India the most favorite nation from Pakistan? Or those who are going to make dropping bombs possible on the afghan brothers (the NATO restorers)?

The choice is yours, the vote is yours! Think about the judgment day when we will have to answer for every step we had taken in this mortal world.
