Dirty politics in Pakistan

کرونا وائرس اور پاکستانی میڈیا

2020-03-20T23:43:00.000+05:00

پاکستانی میڈیا کے لیے شاید یہ بہت فخر کا مقام ہے کہ panic پھیلا کر بہت مزا آتا ہے ان لوگوں کو۔ یہ بات ضرور کہوں گا کہ CoronaVirus یا COVID-19, جو بھی اس بلا کو کہیں، یہ ایک اٹل حقیقت ہے اور اسکو ماننے کے علاوہ اور کوئی حل نہیں، مگر ایک چیز کو ماننا اور ایک چیز کو تھوپنا، ایک بات نہیں، instead ہمارا دو نمبر بکواس میڈیا ہماری پوری society کو panic میں اور اس کے ساتھ ساتھ psycho بنا رہیں ہیں۔

ابھی تو کچھ نہیں ہوگا مگر

مستقبل قریب میں ہم اپنے آنے والی جینیریشن کو پاگل بنا رہے ہیں اور ایسے جن کے mindset اس طرح سے clear نہیں ہوتا، جیسا ہمارے دماغ میں ہوتا ہے، ہم میں سے اکثر لوگ کتابیں اور تصانیف پڑھتیں ہیں، جن کی وجہ ہماری سوچ کا زاویہ کھلا ہوتا ہے اور اسکی وجہ سے کافی ٹائیم ہم rational thinking کرسکتے ہیں، مگر sorry to sayجو گندا کام ہمارا good for nothing میڈیا ہاوس کر رہے ہیں، ہماری آنے والی نسلوں کو جس جانب ڈال رہیں ہیں، اس کے ذمہ دار ہم لوگ ہی ہوں گے۔

کتابیں اور تحقیقی مظامین نہ پڑھنے کا نتیجہ

اس وجہ سے ہم پڑھے لکھے جاہل بن کر رہ گے ہیں، کیونکہ جستجو اور تجسس کو ختم کر کے دوسری چیزوں میں ڈال دیا ہے۔ Instagram اور Bigo Live پر دیکھ لیں ہماری آنے والی جینیریشن کیا کررہی ہے۔ اس پر مزید کچھ لکھنا بیکار ہے۔

کوا چلا ہنس کی چال اپنی چال بھی بھول گیا

کرونا کرونا کرتے کرتے ہم یہ تک بھول گئے ہیں کہ یہ وائیرس exactly کیا ہے، instead سنی سنائی پر کان دھر رہے ہیں اور خود سے دیکھنے سے گریزاں ہیں جس کا نتیجہ ہے کہ ہم کان کے کچے ہورہے ہیں اور اپنی قابلیت اور سمجھ بوجھ پر بھروسہ نہیں، بیشک بہت گندا وائیرس ہے مگر instead اس کے احتیاطی تدابیر کے اوپر تحقیق کرنا اور ایک بلو پرنٹ تشکیل دینے کے بجائے ماسک پہنتے بیٹھے ہیں، hand sanitizers استعمال سکھا رہیں ہیں، مجھے اس سے کوئی مسئلہ نہیں، مگر مجھے مسئلہ اس اقدام سے ہے جہاں ہم اپنے آنے والی نسلوں کو ان چیزوں کا عادی بنا رہیں ہیں جس طرح ہماری ان جینیریشن کو slowly بوتل والا پانی کا عادی بنایا، ہمارے آنے والی نسلوں کو ان sanitizers اور اس کے بعد ماسک کا عادی بنا رہے ہیں۔

ماسک سے یاد آیا

ہمارے لیئے ماسک اتنا اہم نہیں جتنا سرجری کرنے والے سرجنز کو اس کی ضرورت ہوتی ہے اور sorry to say, ہماری قوم نے اپنی خود غرضی میں یہ تک بھول گئے ہیں کہ جو بھی جمع کرنا ہے یہیں چھوڑ کر جانا ہے، مگر اسکی وجہ سے کیوں کسی غریب کی بد دعا لے رہیں ہیں؟ کیوں بھول جارہے ہیں کہ ہم انسان اور اسکے بعد مسلمان ہیں؟ کیوں بھول جارہے ہیں کہ آج ہماری خود غرضی کی وجہ سے کوئی غریب اگر suffer کرتا ہے تو کل ہماری اپنی سگی اولاد بھی suffer کرے گی، کیا وہ ہم برداشت کرپائیں گے بحیثیت ماں اور باپ؟ اگر اپ نہیں بھی ہو تو مستقبل میں بنو گے جب imagine کرو کہ اپکی اولاد کو سرجری کی ضرورت ہے مگر کسی بھی وجہ سے سرجری کے ماسک موجود نہیں ہیں تو ماں یا باپ ہوتے ہوئے کیسے feel ہوگا؟مذہب کی بات کرتیں ہیں، میں کوئی عالم دین نہیں مگر جتنا بھی ناظرہ اور اسلامیات پڑھی ہے، حقوق العباد پر کوئی معافی نہیں ہے بلکہ مذہب میں اتنتا کہا گیا ہے کہ یہ بھی صدقہ جاریہ ہے کہ اپ رستہ میں کوئی درخت لگایں یا رستہ میں کا کنکر ہٹا دیں، پتا نہیں کوئی اس کنکر کو نا دیکھ کر گر جائے، ہمارے مذہب میں تو اتنا emphasis کیا گئا ہے مگر خود اپنے آپ سے پوچھیں، کیا ہم اپنے طور پر ایسا کچھ کر بھی رہیں ہیں؟

ٹرولنگ کا کلچر

مجھے اندازہ نہیں ۲۰۰۲ سے پہلے اور بعد میں ایسا کیا فرق آیا یا پھر I guess میں پتھر کے نیچے رہا ہوں اس پورے زمانے، جس کی وجہ سے شاید اس چیز میں میں کامیاب نہیں، اور اسکے لیئے میں اللہ کا شکر گزار ہوں کہ یہ پرائی مجھ میں نہیں، انسان غلطی کا پتلہ ہے، اور ٹرولنگ اس وقت کرنی چاہیے جب آپ پرفیکٹ ہو، کیا کوئی انسان یہ claim کر سکتا ہے کہ وہ 100 percent پرفیکٹ ہے؟ اگر ہاں تو وہ ضرور ٹرولنگ کرے۔

The social media 'socio-paths'

2019-06-09T16:28:00.000+05:00

There comes a time when people instead of taking proper step; they just point out the wrong beings around them, for which I have only one thing to say; instead of pointing better place yourself in solving the issue instead of pointing fingers, because pointing fingers do not solve anything, but sorry to say people have ceased taking PROPER steps.

Taking responsibility of Social Responsibility which impacts the environment/culture

This is another thing, earlier when I was a toddler, I used to see that my father and other elderly personnel used to interact with local authorities like when we had water problem and how those people solved the issue, the fruits of which we are still eating, whereas it was 19 years ago, now even if I relate the issue with today's scenarios; people won't leave the comfort of their couches instead just starting campaign, but the time when physical presence is required on definite, they won't wag their tails, this is the difference I (personally) have seen between last 20 years, I remember when I was in my matriculation during 2002-2003; things were on the different end of the tunnel unlike now which has infected us on the genetic grounds, because the hospitality of Karachi (since I have spent my childhood in this city; therefore I am only able to compare that Karachi to now), now I personally have experienced (not seen) the selfishness in the society.

The degree we own to get a better JOB

This is a main thing, because the degree we now own; we get on commitment that after we get the degree, we would at least teach two children voluntarily, but can we explicitly admit that we follow the commitment; we made for getting the degree because of which we are enjoying the lifestyle, but answer me a thing, do we deserve to enjoy them?

Selfishness we encounter on the daily routine

Instead of giving chances for someone creating a change, we explicitly pull the legs and feel patronage in something called roasting, which is nothing but insulting and humiliating others, because of which our representation HAS been like a گدھا / donkey/mule who speaks but speaks without thinking what we have been saying, otherwise our ancestor(s) used to take account of it on major, but now it is something worth as little as the sachet of the Chilly Garlic Sauce we get in a Quarter Broast Chicken. This is something I noted a lot because everyone feel patronage in overlapping others whereas previously we used to take account of completion of other person communication/conversation but now there's nothing like that; instead it is taken as sign of confidence/non-confidence whatever the circumstances, which is slowly deteriorating the relations/the society like termite to the wood.

Might is right

This is another thing; if I narrate the religion (Islam), it does give patronage to the senior/elder but it does it with RESPONSIBILITY, you are deemed to take responsibility for others' action and to act to reduce the catastrophe instead of acting sycophantically and taking sides without taking account of another party, yes; you're reading it right, the family system in Karachi at least is now based on taking sides which includes the elders, the youngsters are deem more to be infected with it but why in the world are the elders infected with taking sides of the particular child in the family, I do not have problem in it but the problem is pampering that spoiled child to that extent that it is creating discrimination among other child(s), does this complies with the teachings of Islam? Is that BEING the teachings/following of our elders' preachings? Think about it, we complain about discrimination in political grounds, but the problem is; it is prevalent on grass-root-level because even in our families; one can admit such things occur in our families without any doubt with minor differences in circumstances!

Taking the 'introvert' nature as a weakness

This is another aspect of the 'new-development' in our current family system/cycle; where if someone stays quiet while having the power to return-the-favours, but he/she doesn't, so in return; the society instead starts calling him/her an idiot that you do not know how to talk, where is your confidence. Confidence and Over-Confidence coincides a very thin line where in majority of the cases where we use the word 'Confidence' usually means 'Over-Confidence'; where in my own personal reasoning, I feel we usually lose an added advantage while staying quiet, but this current breed doesn't understand this, I do not have problem with the youngsters (as I am on verge of ending my 29s and entering 30s), therefore I have issues with the elders' who instead of taking responsibility of their offspring, taking side of them either if they are right or not right, and instead of taking pride in taking responsibility of their upbringing, they end up creating their offspring not as human beings but as a mule; a donkey; ass means we are creating animals instead of human beings, where are our etiquette, the responsibility and the pride we used to take in upbringing of our offsprings?

Last but not the least

Pakistan is not going to develop anytime soon unless and until we get rid of the above mentioned 'virus' from our family system, because the country is suffering because of the product we had sowed 30 years ago; so this is the dilemma we'll have to face because this is our own mishap because of which the country is at this stage, in short; be a Muslim and take responsibility of your actions; instead of acting like Jews who used to place excuse for each and everything which was provided to them by the Almighty Allah. Peace Out...

کانگو وائرس

اور سنت ابراہیمی ؑ

سے دور رکھنے کی مہم:

ہوشیار رہیں!!

عید الاضحی قریب آتے ہی دنیا بھر سمیت پاکستان میں بھی کانگو وائرس کے پھیلاو کی افواہیں بھرپور طریقے سے پھیلائی جا رہی ہیں ۔

آج مویشی منڈی جانے کا اتفاق ہوا تو یہ دیکھ کر حیران رہ گیا کہ خریداروں کے لئے کسی بھی قسم کی انتظامات کی بجائے جانوروں کے ڈاکٹرز اور پیرامیڈیکل سٹاف کی بڑی تعداد موجود ہے۔

سرکاری اہلکار کانگو وائرس کے حوالے سے بھاگ دوڑ کرتے نظر آتے ہیں ۔ ایسا لگ رہا ہے کہ آنیوالے چند دنوں میں کانگو وائرس ہمارے ملک کا گرم ترین موضوع بننے والا ہے۔ پنجاب میں بچوں کے اغواءکی وارداتوں اور گزشتہ سالوں کے دوران ڈینگی کی طرح اب ہر قسم کی ہلچل کانگو وائرس کے حوالے سے ہوگی ۔

میڈیا پر بھی بھرپور مہم چلائی جا رہی ہے کہ یہ وائرس جانوروں سے پھیلتا ہے اس لئے قربانی کے جانوروں کے حوالے سے بھرپور قسم کی احتیاطی تدابیر اختیار کرنے کا درس دیا جا رہا ہے۔

کسی کوکانگو بیماری کے وجود سے انکار نہیں لیکن عید الاضحی کے قریب اس کی تشہیر اور افواہوں نے چند شکوک و شبہات کو بھی جنم دیا ہے۔ ایسا لگتا ہے کہ پولیو کی طرح پاکستان کو کانگو کے حوالے سے شدید قسم کے عالمی دباو کا سامنا کرنا پڑ سکتا ہے۔

حقائق تو یہ ہیں کہ 20کروڑ آباد ی کے ملک میں کبھی بھی سالانہ ایک سو سے زائدپولیو کے کیس سامنے نہیں آئے لیکن ہر ماہ دو مرتبہ اور کروڑوں کی لاگت سے میڈیا مہم ، پولیس اور فوج کی نگرانی میں قطرے پلانامعاملے کو مشکوک بناتا ہے۔

دوسری جانب عالمی اداروں کی ہی رپورٹ کے مطابق پاکستان میں کروڑوں لوگ ہیپاٹائٹس کے مریض ہیں ،ڈائریا سے بھی کروڑوںلوگ متاثر ہوتے ہیں ۔

زچگی کے دوران لاکھوں خواتین ہر سال جان کی بازی ہار جاتی ہیں ،صاف پانی دس فیصد لوگوں کو بھی میسر نہیں جس کی وجہ سے بیماریاں پھیلتی ہیں ۔

لیکن کوئی بھی عالمی ادارہ پاکستانیوں کی صحت کو درپیش ان مسائل کے لئے ایک ڈالر بھی دینے کو تیار نہیں جبکہ پولیو کے لئے اربوں کے فنڈز فراہم کئے جاتے ہیں جس کے مریض کبھی بھی چند درجن سے زائد نہیں رہے ۔

حد تو یہ بھی ہے کہ عالمی ادارے دھمکی اور بھرپور دباو سے پولیو کے قطرے پلانے پرمجبور کرتے ہیں ۔

اور اب کانگو وائرس کے پھیلاو کا چرچا ہے۔

پہلی بات تو یہ ہے کہ جب میڈیا پر ڈاکٹرز ہر وقت ان خطرات سے آگاہ کر رہے ہوں گے کہ جو کانگو وائرس سے پھیلتے ہیں تو بہت سے صحت و صفائی کے حوالے سے ” وہم“ کا شکار گھرانے فوری طور پر اس بار سنت ابراہیمی ؑ کے بغیر ہی عید منانے کا پکا ارادہ کر لیں گے۔

علمائے کرام کو بلاکر اس قسم کے سوالات پوچھے جائیں گے کہ ” کیا جان کو خطرہ لاحق ہو توقربانی جیسی عبادت کرنی چاہیے؟“۔

ظاہر ہے اس سوال کا جواب کیا دیا جاسکتا ہے۔

سیکولر ذہنیت کے زیر اثر پہلے ہی ہمارے ہاں بہت سے نام نہاد سکالرز اس بات کی تلقین کرتے پائے جاتے ہیں کہ ” جانوروں کو ذبح“ کرنے کی بجائے پیسے غریبوں میں بانٹ دئیے جائیں یا کسی غریب کا گھر بسا دیا جائے۔ ہاں البتہ انہیں ایسا خیال کسی فیشن شو ، نیو ائیر نائٹ یا ایسے ہی مہنگے تہواروں کے موقعے پر نہیں آتا۔

خدشہ ہے کہ ہمارے ملک میں کانگو سے ہلاکتوں کا چرچا بہت جلد عام ہونیوالا ہے۔ حالیہ دنوں میں بچوں کے اغواءکی افواہیں اتنی بڑی تعداد میں عام ہوئیں کہ ایسا لگتا تھا کہ ہر گھرانے کا کم سے کم ایک بچہ ضرور اغوا ہوا ہے لیکن جب حقائق سامنے آئے تو جو چند واقعات ہوئے تھے ان میں بھی خاندانی دشمنی وغیرہ کا ہاتھ تھا۔

لیکن میڈیا نے اس حوالے سے فرنٹ پیج کوریج دی اور ہر واقعے کو بڑھا چڑھا کر پیش کیا،

سینکڑوں افراد کو محض شک کی بنیاد پر اغواءکار قراردیکر تشدد کا نشانہ بنایا گیا۔

ڈینگی کے حوالے سے بھی ایسا ہی ہوا تھا کہ کوئی اگر طبی موت بھی مرا یا کسی بھی بیماری سے اللہ کو پیاراہوگیا تو بھی میڈیا نے بریکنگ نیوز یہی چلائی ” ڈینگی سے ایک اور موت“۔۔

اسی طرح کی میڈیا مہم کانگو وائرس کے حوالے سے بھی چلنے والی ہے۔ بریکنگ نیوز کچھ اس طرح کی ہوں گی کہ فلاح شہر میں کانگو وائرس کا ایک اور کیس سامنے آ گیا ۔

مریض کے گھرانے میں تین روز قبل ہی قربانی کا جانور لایاگیا تھا۔

حیران کن بات یہ بھی ہے کہ کانگو کے ا ب تک جو کیس سامنے آئے ہیں وہ بڑے شہروں سے ہیں ۔

کتنا عجیب ہے کہ وہ گڈریے اور مویشی پالنے والے جو کہ چوبیس گھنٹے ان میں رہتے ہیں ان کو کانگو وائرس متاثر نہیں کرتا بلکہ شہر کے ماحول میں جیسے ہی وہ جانور کسی گھرانے میں پہنچتا ہے تو اس کی خواتین اور خصوصا بچوں کوکانگو وائرس متاثر کر دیتا ہے۔

کسی پر الزام ٹھیک نہیں لیکن کچھ ایسے اداروں اور کمپنیوں کے بارے بھی چھان بین ہونی چاہیے جو بڑی تشہیری مہم چلاتی ہیں کہ بس پیسے ہمیں دیں اور قربانی کا گوشت لے جائیں بغیر کسی مشقت کے۔

کسی بیماری کے وجود سے انکار نہیں کیا جاسکتالیکن کروڑوں کی آبادی میں صرف چند کیس سامنے آنے پر افواہوں کے ذریعے اگر ڈر و خوف کی فضاءقائم کر دی جائے تو اسے بھی عقلمندی قرار نہیں دیا جاسکتا۔

اللہ تعالی ہر کسی کو ہر قسم کی بیماری سے محفوظ رکھے لیکن ایک انجانے وہم اور نفسیاتی مرض میں مبتلا ہوجانا بھی ٹھیک نہیں۔

ایسے میں اگر سنت ابراہیمی ؑ سے ہی اجتناب کر لیا جائے۔ قربانی کے جانوروں کو گھرلانا، بچوں کا کھیلنا ، سنت رسولﷺ کی ادائیگی کے مقدس جذبات،غریبوں کے گھروں تک گوشت پہنچانا،

خواتین کا قربانی میں شریک ہونا، گوشت کو پکا کراخوت و صلہ رحمی کے فروغ کے لئے دعوت دینا،

غرض بہت کچھ ایسا ہوتا ہے کہ جو ہماری عید الاضحی کو خوشیوں سے بھرپور بنا دیتا ہے۔

خدشہ ہے کہ ایک انجانے خوف کے تحت اور افواہوں کے زیر اثر قربانی کے جانوروں سے دور رہنے کی تلقین ہم سے زندگی کی بہت سی خوشیاں چھین لے گی ۔

معاشرے میں اس حوالے سے آگاہی دینے کی ضرورت ہے اور یہ ہر اس کا فرض ہے کہ جسے سنت ابراہیمی ؑ اور نبی اکرمﷺ کی سنت مبارکہ سے محبت ہے۔۔۔

پیارے پاکستانی مسلمانوں اس بار ذرا زیادہ ہوشیار رہنا!!!

Ayyan aunty

Media should have their share of limitations which is to be aired on TV. Just like the way they've been projecting 'Ayyan Ali', a good for nothing piece of shit citing the audience wants to watch, for God's sake, 70% of the audience is illiterate and get attracts to an attractive female, and sorry to say many of the Internet cafes in Karachi are populated by them.

There are other issues which are more vital and thus thanks to this good for nothing, attention is being diverted.

News these days are like; Ayyan Ali is pregnant, some politician got worried; the pleasurable moments at jail; Pakistani policeman got smarter to get near to the lady.

What is fish 🐠 is this? Is this something being aired on national television 📺?

عقل کے ناخن لو میڈیا والوں. اگر Axact نے ملک کی بدنامی کی تو تم لوگوں نے ایسی کوریج دے کر ملک کی کونسی نیک نامی کی؟

IF we do not act sensibly...

2014-09-21T13:50:00.000+05:00

If we do not act sensibly and start acting rubbishly on the name of "آزادی" and "انقلاب" than none can stop in happening this. Because system DO NEEDS an overhaul; but not at the expense of PAKISTAN, because Pakistan is also effected with the regional circumstances.

Note: The following map was prepared by Lieutenant-Colonel Ralph Peters. It was published in the Armed Forces Journal in June 2006, Peters is a retired colonel of the U.S. National War Academy. (Map Copyright Lieutenant-Colonel Ralph Peters 2006).

Although the map does not officially reflect Pentagon doctrine, it has been used in a training program at NATO's Defense College for senior military officers. This map, as well as other similar maps, has most probably been used at the National War Academy as well as in military planning circles.

Because one can't segregate Pakistan with the regional anarchy in process. Plus the way #IK and #TuQ playing a #DivideAll game, the elaborated image above is already on the cards. #Shame because this is the time we have to act in sensible manner just like Afghanistan did today in power sharing.

Rest is up to you, because whatever I am saying here is my own perspective, and I do not mean others to impose my perspective.

عمران خان اور سقوط ڈھاکا۔۔۔

"Excerpted with permission from Bhutto and the Breakup of Pakistan (POLITICS) By Mohammad Yunus Oxford University Press, Karachi ISBN 978-0-19-906379-6 148pp."

آ بیل مار مجھے۔

کیونکہ یہ میری سوچ ہے، امید کرتا ہوں کہ میں غلط ہوں کیونکہ پاکستانی ہونے کے ناطے کبھی برداشت نہیں کر پائوں گا کہ ایسا ہو۔

These memoirs begin on a very particular day, March 25, 1971. On that day, General Yahya Khan, Martial Law Administrator and President of Pakistan, ordered the arrest of the leader of the Awami League, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. The Awami League had literally swept the polls in East Pakistan in the national elections in 1970. Mujibur Rahman was then brought to the capital, Islamabad, in West Pakistan as a prisoner.

The news came as a shock to everyone. It was a veritable volte-face after the three years of unprecedented preference given by Yahya’s government to East Pakistanis in all government and semi-government appointments. That policy had been adopted by Yahya to assure the East Pakistanis that they were indeed equal to West Pakistanis in a united Pakistan.

Those in Islamabad who were close to government circles, including myself, knew that on that day, the ‘hawks’ led by General Hamid, Chief of the General Staff, had taken over from the ‘doves’ headed by Generals Pirzada and Umar. Yahya had initially allowed the ‘doves’ to conciliate East Pakistan. It was on their directives that the policy of accommodation with East Pakistan had been followed from 1968 to 1971. Interestingly, the ‘hawks’ were the ‘sons of the soil’ while the ‘doves’ were ‘refugees’.

The guiding thought of the ‘doves’ was that West Pakistan had enjoyed the prime fruits of freedom from Britain in 1947. It had held the reins of power in the country for almost a quarter of a century. They advocated, therefore, that it was now time for East Pakistan to have its turn. The ‘hawks’, on the other hand, did not believe that a favourable tilt towards East Pakistanis in government appointments would help convince the eastern wing of the country of being equal to the western wing and yield a Constitution acceptable to the country as a whole. Therefore, they firmly believed in the use of overwhelming force to put an end to the call of the Awami League for regional autonomy. Short-sightedly, they described the seething movement in East Pakistan for regional autonomy as a mere flash in the pan that could be doused by military force. Indeed, they blamed the ‘doves’ for letting the situation get out of control.

At that time I was serving as Director General for Middle Eastern and African Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Islamabad. In that capacity, I used to participate in the policy meetings held almost every day in the Foreign Office in Islamabad. On 26 March 1971, an apparent calm prevailed in East Pakistan. That gave the ‘hawks’ the short-lived opportunity of boasting that they were in the right after all. In the Foreign Office, however, most of us were overwhelmed by a sense of doom. Contrary to the assessments of the ‘hawks’, East Pakistan was boiling with rebellion. The long simmering resentment caused by the feeling in East Pakistan of being neglected, if also not exploited, by West Pakistan had turned into a frenzy due to the arrest and deportation of their undisputed leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Mujib had indeed taken the lead through the Awami League in giving voice to the burning issues and resentment that beset the East Pakistanis.

Consequently, the situation was fast approaching the point of widespread popular revolt. East Pakistan was not only far away from West Pakistan but, to make matters worse, a thousand miles of a bitterly hostile India lay athwart the two wings of Pakistan. The Foreign Ministry in Islamabad was daunted and full of apprehension. From the very next day, it began receiving reports couched in guarded tones from Pakistan’s diplomatic missions of a generally negative reaction abroad regarding Mujibur Rahman’s arrest. The diplomats of Pakistan, like everyone else, were scared of the ‘hawks’ in the Pakistan Army but their message to the home base was clear despite its carefully selected terminology. The world had openly condemned the arrest of the leader of the majority party and the suspension of the political process in Pakistan. Thus, the gaps in the diplomatic reports were filled by what was appearing in the international press.

No sense of doubt was left among the foreign policy causus that Pakistan stood totally isolated. All the Foreign Ministry could do by way of formulating foreign policy in that critical situation was to send to its missions lifeless directives based on the army’s doctored version of what was going on in and around East Pakistan. The worst aspect of these directives was the attempt to cajole our diplomats to secure international understanding of the draconian steps that were being taken to suppress the general revolt in East Pakistan. The national press had also been directed by the Ministry of Information in Islamabad to do the same in order to ensure a national understanding, if not consensus, of the measures adopted by the ‘hawks’.

Pakistan’s foreign policy and the public relations drive of those tragic days could, however, do absolutely nothing about the strongly negative direction that world opinion was taking regarding the crisis that the country was engulfed in. The government, feeling helpless, decided to direct the entire force of government policy towards keeping the West Pakistanis ignorant of the true facts, and assuaged with baseless stories of an atmosphere of returning calm and the restoration of law and order in East Pakistan. The spectre of Pakistanis of both wings joining together in a general uprising against the military government was the worst nightmare for the ‘hawkish’ policymakers.

اب ان تمام حالات و واقعات کو اگر عمران خان سے موازنہ کیا جائے تو کم سے کم عمران خان یہاں مجھے شیخ مجیب دکھائی دے رہا ہے جو سسٹم میں خرابیوں کی بخوبی نشاندہی کر رہا ہے مگر جو طریقہ اپنایا ہے وہ یا تو لالچی عورتیں اپناتی ہیں یا پھر وہ اپناتے ہیں جو جلد شہرت حاصل کرنا چاہتے ہیں۔

میں ایسا کیوں کہہ رہا ہوں؟

میرا ایسا ماننا اسی لیے ہے کیونکہ؛

اگر عمران خان واقعی میں لیڈر کہتا ہے اپنے آپ کو، تو لوگوں کو ایک پلیٹ فورم پر جمع کرتا اور آہستہ آہستہ کر کے لوگوں میں شعور اجاگر کرواتا، نہ کہ اس طریقہ کار سے۔ اس طریقہ کار سے ان کو تو ضرور فائدہ ہوا ہے مگر کیا ہم پاکستان کے لیئے سوچتے ہیں یا عمران خان کے لیئے؟
ہم لوگ بیرون ملک بھی جاتے ہیں تو مہینہ دو مہنیہ وہاں set ہونے میں لگتے ہیں، یہ کیسا انقلاب ہے جو راتوں میں جاگتا ہے اور دن میں سوتا ہے، اور جلد سے جلد وزیر اعظم بننا چاہتے ہیں۔
کیا یہ دھرنہ ہے کہ جشن ہے؟
پوری قوم ساتھ ہے، کا نعرہ مار کر ڈھینکا چیکا کر رہے ہیں، معذرت کے ساتھ۔ اس قوم کی یاداشت بہت کمزور ہے، 1.5 سال پہلے جو villain بننے ہوئے تھے، اب hero بننا شروع ہو گئے ہیں، کیا ایک قوم ہونے کے ناطے پہلے ہمیں اپنی اصلاح کی ضرورت نہیں ہے؟
پاکستان کے لیئے سوچ کہاں گئی؟
کیا پاکستان کے نظام کو بہتر/ تبدیل کرنے کے لیئے کیا نظام کو صحیح کیا جاتا ہے یا ختم کیا جاتا ہے؟
کیا ںظام کو صحیح کرنے کے لیئے نظام میں گھسنا ہوتا ہے یا باہر سے induct ہوتے ہیں؟
عمران خان نیازی نے اپنے کرکٹ کے ادوار میں Ian Botham کو عدالت کے چکر لگوایا، جب پاکستان کی باری آئی تو شور ہنگاموں پر اتر آیا، کیا یہ کھلا تضاد نہیں ہے؟
کس قوم کی بات کرتے ہیں پاکستان تحریک انصاف والے؟ وہ جو Indian dramas دیکھ کر adventurism کے شوقین قوم ہیں وہ؟ کلفٹن کراچی میں جو ان کا دھرنا ہوا تھا، معذرت کے ساتھ۔ کچھ اس طرح کے لوگ دکھے تھے، پہلی؛ وہ عورتیں جو گھر کے کام مکمل کر کے ہوا کھانے پاہر آئی ہوئی تھیں؛ دوسری؛ جن کی kitty parties میں وقت تھا؛ تیسری؛ جو رات کا کھانا پاہر کھانا چاہ رہی تھیں؛ چوتھی؛ کیمرے کو دیکھ کر کھینچے کھینچھے چلے آئے تھے؛ پانچویں؛ وہ لڑکے جو مفت کا Eaton اور لڑکیوں کو دیکھ کر گھس گئے۔ کیا یہ لوگ انقلاب لائے گے؟
احتجاجی دھرنوں میں شادی کی بات کا کیا مطلب ہے؟ کیا کسی matrimonial gathering میں آئے ہوئے ہیں یا دھرنوں میں جہاں لڑکیوں کو دیکھا جاتا ہے؟؟

میں صرف یہی کہتا ہوں کہ تبدیلی لانی ہے تو اپنے آپ میں لائو ورنہ مجھے تو عمران خان نیازئ میں ایک اور شیخ مجیب دیکھ رہا ہے جو شائد اسی پلان پر عمل پیرہ ہے جو American 2020 میں پاکستان کا نقشہ بتایا ہے، جس میں پاکستان کو صرف سندھ اور پنجاب تک محدود کر دیا ہے۔

باقی میں دیکھ رہا ہوں، کافی لوگوں نے مجھے یہ سب پڑھنے کے بعد گالیاں دینی ہیں، مگر پھر بھی تین باتیں کہوں گا، پہلی؛ تبدیلی اپنے اندر لائو، باہر خود تبدیلی آئے گی، دوسری؛ آج جتنا کہنا ہے کہو، کل جب میں بولوں گا تو تم سب کوچپ چاپ سننا ہو گا، تیسرا؛ میں PTI کا ووٹر تھا، جس نے اپنا قیمتی ووٹ PTI کو دیا تھا، مگر ان کا غلط اقدام کو میں کبھی support نہیں کروں گا۔

خدا حافظ

The credibility of Pakistani news media

2014-06-11T15:07:00.001+05:00

پاکستانی میڈیا نے اپنی credibility کھودی ہے کل بروز منگل ۱۰ جون ۲۰۱۴ کو جس طرح کی کوریج کی ہے، کیونکہ مانتا ہوں بالکل ایسا ہوا ہو گا، اس سے کوئی دو رائے نہیں مگر کیا یہ ضروری تھا کہ اس کو breaking news کے طور پر دکھایا جائے؟ ویسے بھی بریکنگ نیوز (breaking news) کا مطلب ہوتا ہے کوئی اہم نیوز یا خبر کو نشر کرنا! کیا ضمانت نہیں ملنے پر دو فریقین کی ہاتھاپائی کی خبر National Media پر بریکنگ نیوز پر دکھانے والا matter ہے؟ کیا ان جاہلوں کو عقل نہیں ہے کہ کیا دیکھانا ہے کیا نہیں؟ میری بات کافی لوگوں کو بری لگے گی مگر یہ سب ان لوگوں کے سامنے کیا جارہا ہے جو صرف نیوز اپنے آنکھوں کے سکون کے لیئے دکھتے ہیں، اسی لیئے میں پاکستانی نیوز کے مقابلے CNN اور BBC کو prefer کرتا ہوں، کہ کم سے کم میں ٹھرکی نہیں ہوں، غیر مہزب زبان کے لیئے معزرت خواہ ہوں مگر maturity level analysis ایک چیز ہوتی ہے جس کو analyze کر کے ہم اپنی کوریج کو compile کرتے ہیں،

میں ایسا کیوں کہہ رہاہوں!

· پہلی بات، Pakistan interest کو پہلے اہمیت دینی چاہیئے نہ کہ politicians کے اپنے interests کو۔

· دوسری بات، یہ نیوز چینلز کے anchors ہیں، ٖFashion TV کے نہیں،

· تیسری بات، News content کیا ہے ان کے پاس؟ اگر نیوز نہیں ہے تو پاکستان کے بارے میں اچھی چیزیں پروموٹ کرو نہ کہ ـسب گندا ہے پر دھندا ہے یہ،

· چوتھی بات، بولی ووڈ کی نیوز کو اتنا کیوں جگہ دیتے ہیں؟ کیا ہم کسی چھوٹے بچے کی ہر خواہش کو پوری کرتے ہیں کیا؟

· کیا ہمارا میڈیا پاکستان دشمن نہیں؟ کیا جو کچھ کراچی میں ہو رہا ہے، کیا Madrid, London, Italy میں نہیں ہوا؟ کیا وہاں کا میڈیا نے ایسے غیر ذمہ داری کا مظاہرہ کیا؟

· زیادہ دور نہیں جاوں گا، مگر میں اس وقت کی بات کر رہا ہوں جب Dawn news انگلش میں آتا تھا، جب morning shows میں career کو discuss کیا جاتا تھا، آج cosmetic aspect کو discuss کیا جاتا ہے ۔ شرم کا مقام ہے ہمارے لیئے۔

· لڑکیوں سے کوئی بغض نہیں مگر خود دیکھ لیں ہماری approach کیا ہے۔

میرا یہ concern نہیں ہے کہ لڑکی ڈوپٹہ کیوں نہیں پہنتی کیونکہ پہلی بات یہ اسکا personal اور religions matter ہے، کیونکہ میرا ماننا ہے کہ تالی ہمیشہ دو ہاتھ سے بجتی ہے، لڑکا بولے گا تو لڑکی ویسا کرتی ہے، میں صرف ان ٹھرکیوں کو کہہ رہا ہوں جو لڑکی کو دیکھنے کے لیئے پورے ایک گھنٹہ کا نیوز بلیٹن دیکھتے ہیں! کیا یہ ہے ہماری approach؟

میں جانتا ہوں کافی لوگ مجھ پر اس بات پر غصہ ہوں گے مگر مجھے جو لگا ہے میں نے کہا ہے کیونکہ میں نے یہاں ہماری approaches کو discuss کیا ہے نہ کہ کسی individual کو point out کیا ہے، کیونکہ اس کی وجہ سے پاکستان کی جتنی بے عزتی ہو رہی ہے، اور اس میں ہمارے 4^th pillar کا contribution معنی رکھتا ہے۔

امید کرتا ہوں، میڈیا نے ابھی تک پوری طرح صبر کا دامن ہماری قوم سے نہیں چھینا ہے، امید کرتا ہوں ویسا ہی رہے، آمین

کراچی اور پاکستانی میڈیا

2014-06-09T13:38:00.000+05:00

کل ۸ جون ۲۰۱۴ کو کراچی انٹرنیشنل ائرپورٹ پر دہشتکردوں نے حملہ کردیا تھا، جو بھی ہوا اچھا نہیں ہوا مگر جس طرح ہمارے منحوس میڈیا نے کوریج کی، کسی دشمن سے ایسی کوریج کی امید کی جاسکتی ہے، کیا زرا بھی ان منحوسوں کو کراچی، اور پاکستان کع وقار کا خیال رہا؟ جیسا کہ میں اکثر کہہ رہا ہوں کہ کرکٹ کی کوریج کی ہے جس میں Hawkeye, Eagle-eye, LBW line, wagon-wheel سب بتاتے ہیں، ویسے ہی، ان منحوسوں نے کوریج کی۔ اب اتنا کچھ ہونے کے بعد کیا انٹرنیشنل ائرلائن آئیں گی پاکیستان؟ یقیناً نہیں! تو پاکستان کے دشمن کون ہیں؟ انڈیا یا ہمارا اپنا میڈیا؟ میرے خیال میں ہمارا اپنا میڈیا کا قصور ہے ان سب میں۔۔۔

میں ایسا کیوں کہہ رہا ہوں!

لندن کے ہیتھرو ایرپورٹ پر بھی حملہ ہوا تھا، مگر وہاں میڈیا نے ذمہ داری کا مظاہرہ کیا تھا، کہ live coverage نہیں کی تھی اس پورے واقعہ کی۔
یہ بات ہمارا غدار میڈیا نہیں عیاں کر رہا ہے کہ ہیتھرو ایئرپورٹ 27 گھنٹہ بند رہا تھا security clearance کی وجہ سے، ہمارے جوانوں نے 12 گھنٹوں میں clear کردیا تھا،
ہمارا غدار میڈیا کی coverage نے مستقبل میں ہمارے لیئے اور مسعلے کھڑے کر دیئے ہیں، پورے کراچی کی demography عیاں کردی ہیں تاکہ دہشتگرد مستقبل میں اسی پر عمل کر کے حملہ کریں
Ratings کے چکر میں ملکی سالمیت کا خیال بھی نہیں کیا انہوں نے

اب ایسے میں ان کو غدار نہیں تو اور کیا کہوں؟ اپنے آپ کو پاکستان کا ۴واں ستون کہتے ہیں تو زمہ داری کا مظاہرہ بھی تو کریں یہ لوگ!

"with great powers, comes the responsibility"

مگر یہ پاکستانی منحوس میڈیا پر لاگو نہیں ہوتا!

لعنت ہمارے میڈیا پر!

بھارتی میڈیا اور پاکستان

2013-06-19T14:29:00.003+05:00

مجھے سمجھ نہیں آتی، کہ بجایے ہم پاکستانی پروڈکشن کو سپورٹ کرنے کے، انڈین میڈیا کو کیوں کرتے ہیں؟ ۲۰۰۱/۰۲ میں جب انڈین چینل پر پابندی لگی تھی تو جب ہماری میوزک انڈسٹری نے زور پکڑا تھا۔ مگر یہ بات بھی ماننے والی ہے کہ چوری چھپے انڈین چینل چل رہے تھے! ساری باپ یہی ہے کہ ہمارا بھی گزارا نہیں ہوتا ان پنکچر ٹیوب کی بوریوں کو ساڑی میں دیکھنے سے۔ اگر پابندی لگانی بھی ہے تو انڈین ڈرامہ چینل پر لگاییں نہ کہ معلوماتی چینل جیسے نیشنل جیوگرافک وغیرہ۔ جب حکومت انڈین نیوز چینل پر پابندی پر عمل درامد کامیابی سے کرا سکتی ہے تو ڈرامہ چینل پر کیوں؟ کیا ان پھٹے ہویے ٹیوب کی بوریوں کو ساڑی میں دیکھنے کا شوق احساس حب الوطنی سے بھی دور کر رہی ہے؟اور کس بات پر ہم ان کو اتنا فیور دے رہے ہیں؟ کیا ہمارے چینل ان کے پاس چلتے ہیں؟پھر کس بات پر ہم ان کے میوزک چینل اپنے پاس چلا رہے ہیں؟ ہمیں کیا فایدہ ہو رہا ہے ان کے گانوں کے چینل اپنے پاس چلا کر؟جبکہ ہمارے پاس پوپ میوزک کے آیکون موجود ہیں؟ بجایے انکو پروموٹ کرنے کے ہم انڈین کو پروموٹ کر رہے ہیں؟ کیا ہمارے لیے شرم کا مقام نہیں ہے یہ؟ ہم کیوں انکے کونٹنٹ کواتنا پروموٹ کرتے ہیں؟ صحیح ہے، پڑوسی ملک ہے مگر اسکا مطلب بالکل یہ نہیں کہ برابرگی کی بنیاد پر نہ ہو! کیا انہوں نے آج تک ہمارا وجود برداشت کیا ہے؟ تو پھر بجایے ہم اپنے آپکو پروموٹ کرنے کے، کیونکر انکو اندھا دھند سپورٹ کرتے ہیں؟

کیونکہ مجھے اس بات سے اعتراض ہے کہ اپنے کلچر کو پروموٹ کرنے کے بجایے ہم ان کے کلچر کو پروموٹ کرتے ہیں۔ جبکہ وہاں کی ایک سی گریڈ اداکارہ نے بھی اپنی گندی زبان پاکستان کے لیے استعمال کی ہے، تو کیا اب بھی ہماری غیرت نہیں جاگی؟ میری انڈین سے کویی جھگڑا نہیں مگر پہلےاگر رشتہ استوار کرنا ہے تو برابرگی کی بنیاد پر، نہ کہ ہم پہل کرتے رہیں اور وہ ہمیں ذلیل کریں، اور جواب میں ہم ان کے ٹیلیوژن کونٹنٹ کو اپنے پاس اون ایر کریں۔جس سے میں یہ معنی اخذ کر رہا ہوں کہ ہمیں خود کںویں میں کا مینڈک بننے کا شوق ہے۔ کیونکہ جس قوم نے (میں ملک کا نام نہیں لے رہا ہوں) اپنی شناخت چھوڑی ہے، دنیا نے انکو فراموش کر دیا ہے، باقی اب ہمارے اوپر ہے۔

ماضی میں انڈین چینل بند کرنے کا فایدہ

۱۔ ہمارےاپنے ڈرامہ چینل پروان چڑہے۔
۲۔ ہماری میوزک انڈسٹری پروان چڑھی اور اس کے ثمرات ہم اب تک اٹھا رہے ہیں۔
۳۔ ہمارے ٹی وی چینل پر صفایی تھی۔
۴۔ ڈاکیومنٹری دیکھنے کو مل جایا کرتی تھی۔
۵۔ میوزک ریکارڈ کمپنیوں کا عروج ہوا۔

، مشرف بیشک ایک ڈکٹیٹر تھا مگر یہ کام اچھا کیا تھا۔ کیا آج ہم یہ کنفرم کر سکتے ہیں کہ انڈین چینل پر جو ہم پیسہ لگا رہے ہیں، کیا وہ ہماری اکانومی میں لگ رہا ہے کہ بارڈر کے اس پار؟ مجھے ۱۱۰٪ یقین ہے، کچھ لوگ یہ پڑھنے کے بعد مجھے اچھی خاصی لوازمات سے نواز رہے ہوں گے، مگر کیا ہم پاکستانی بن کر سوچیں کہ جب ہم ان کو اتنا منا فع دے رہے ہیں تو کیا ان کو بھی نہیں چاہیے کہ ہمارے چینل کے لینڈنگ رایٹ ہمیں فراہم کریں؟ کیا ہمیں نہیں چاہیے کہ اپنی خود کی ایک شناخت بنایں بجایے اس کے کہ کبھی عربوں کی جوتی اور کبھی انڈین کی دھوتی؟ اس میں کویی دو راے نہیں کہ اردو ترک، فارسی، ہندی، اور عربی کا مجموعہ ہے مگر اس کا مطلب یہ نہیں کہ صرف اس وجہ سے ہم ان کے جوتیوں کو چاٹیں! شرم کا مقام ہے ہمارے لیےکیونکہ کبھی پاکستانی بن کر نہیں سوچا ہے ہم نے۔

جب بزنس بڑھا تو پیسے میں برکت بھی ہویی اور ۲۰۰۳ سے لے کر ۲۰۰۹ تک کا ٹایم یاد کریں جب ہماری جیبوں میں مہینے کے آخر میں روپے بچتے تھے، کیونکہ ہمارا لگایا ہوا پیسہ گھوم پھر کر ہماری اکانومی میں ہی لگ رہا تھا، مشرف بیشک ایک ڈکٹیٹر تھا مگر یہ کام اچھا کیا تھا۔ کیا آج ہم یہ کنفرم کر سکتے ہیں کہ انڈین چینل پر جو ہم پیسہ لگا رہے ہیں، کیا وہ ہماری اکانومی میں لگ رہا ہے کہ بارڈر کے اس پار؟ مجھے ۱۱۰٪ یقین ہے، کچھ لوگ یہ پڑھنے کے بعد مجھے اچھی خاصی لوازمات سے نواز رہے ہوں گے، مگر کیا ہم پاکستانی بن کر سوچیں کہ جب ہم ان کو اتنا منا فع دے رہے ہیں تو کیا ان کو بھی نہیں چاہیے کہ ہمارے چینل کے لینڈنگ رایٹ ہمیں فراہم کریں؟ کیا ہمیں نہیں چاہیے کہ اپنی خود کی ایک شناخت بنایں بجایے اس کے کہ کبھی عربوں کی جوتی اور کبھی انڈین کی دھوتی؟ اس میں کویی دو راے نہیں کہ اردو ترک، فارسی، ہندی، اور عربی کا مجموعہ ہے مگر اس کا مطلب یہ نہیں کہ صرف اس وجہ سے ہم ان کے جوتیوں کو چاٹیں! شرم کا مقام ہے ہمارے لیےکیونکہ کبھی پاکستانی بن کر نہیں سوچا ہے ہم نے۔

مجھے لوگ بدتمیز کہتے ہیں کیونکہ شرم لحاظ کیے بغیر میں صاف بات کہہ دیتا ہوں، کیونکہ سیدھی بات ہے، جب انڈیا سے اتنا پیار تھا تو پاکستان ہجرت کیوں کی تھی؟ جو پاکستان میں بیٹھ کر پاکستان کی برایی کرتے ہو؟ اور پاکستان کو بد دعا دیتے ہیں کہ دوبارا ایک ہوجایے؟ انہی جیسے لوگوں کی وجہ سےپاکستان کا یہ حال ہے، کیونکہ میرے وہ ساتھی جو سوشل میڈیا پر مجھ سے ذیادہ متحرک ہیں، اس بات کی نشاندہی کی ہے۔ ایسےلوگ یہ بات کرتے ہیں کہ پاکستان آکر غلطی کی، وہاں اتنی جایداد تھی، تو جھوٹ کیوں کہتے ہو؟ کیا یہاں آکرہندوستان میں اپنی جایداد کے جعلی دعوی کر کے یہاں زمینیں نہیں ہتھیای تھیں تم لوگ نے؟ اور تو اور کچھ بےغیرت جانتے بوجھتے ہویے، کیبل والوں کو یہ بھی کہتے ہیں کہ انڈین نیوز چینل لگاو۔ اپنی زبان پڑھ نہیں سکتے مگر ہندی پڑھنے کو باعث فخر سمجھتے ہیں۔ کیا اندرا گاندھی کو بھول گیے پاکستان کے پارے میں کیا کہا تھا؟ پھر بھی پاکستانی ہو کر نہیں سوچیں گے تو لاکھ لعنت ہو تم پر۔

Post Script

میں صرف یہی چاہتا ہوں کہ برابرگی کی بنیاد پار انڈیا سے تعلقات استوار کریں بجایے اسکے کہ ہم دینے کے لیے رہ جایں اور وہ لینے کے لیے۔ اس میں، میں اپنے میڈیا کو بھی ملحوظ الزام سمجھتا ہوں کیوںکہ بجایے ہماری عوام کو شعور دینے کے ان کی خواہشات کو تکمیل کرنا اپنا وطیرہ بنایا ہوا ہے۔ کیا ہمارے ڈراموں کی کہانی انڈین سوپ سے کمزور ہوتی ہے؟ ہمارے ڈراموں میں کہانی ہوتی ہے جسے ہر کویی اپنی زندگی سےمنسلک نہیں کر سکتے، کیا انڈین ڈراموں میں ایسی کویی چیز ہے؟ بلکہ الٹا ہمارے دماغ خراب کر کے رکھ دیا ہے کہ بجایے ذہنی پختگی کے بچپنا ہے ابھی تک۔

میں اپنا خود کا ایک ایسا ہی تجربہ نہیں بانٹ رہا کیونکہ یہاں میرا مقصد کسی کو ذلیل کرنا نہیں ہے، مگر خدا را بڑے ہوجاو، صرف اتنا کہوں گا میں۔کیونکہ میرے کافی قریب کے دوستوں نے بھی مجھے بتایا ہے کہ مجھے سخت طبعیت کا سمجھا جاتا ہے کیونکہ میں ان سے ان غلیظ ڈراموں والے انداز میں نہیں ملتا، آخر کیوں ملوں؟ کیا انسانوں والے طریقے نہیں ہیں ملنے کے؟مجھے یہ تک بتایا گیا ہے کہ وہ لڑکی ناراض ہے کیونکہ میں نے مخصوص دایرہ کار میں بات کی اور اسکی تعریف نہیں کی۔ تو پھر میں کیا کروں؟ کس بات پر تعریف کروں جب میں ملا ہی ایک دو دفعہ ہوں؟ سمجھ سے بالا تر ہے، اور یہ سب صرف اسی لیے ہے کیونکہ ان انڈین ڈراموں نے ہمیں انسانوں سے"ٹوم اینڈ جیری" بنادیا ہے، ذیادہ تر لڑکیاں "جیری" اور لڑکے "ٹوم" بنے ہویے ہوتے ہیں۔

تفریح کے لیے دیکھنا الگ بات ہے مگر ان انڈین ڈراموں کو اپنی ذندگی کا حصہ بنا کر ہم کونسا تیر مار لے رہے ہیں؟ انہیں کے چینل پر پاکستان کا مذاق اڑایا جاتا ہے، اور وہ بھی بےغیرتی سے دیکھتے ہیں! میرا صرف یہی کہنا ہے کہ اپنی شناخت رکھو، بجایے اسکے کہ ہم دوسروں کی شناخت کو اپنا بنایں۔

مجھے برداشت کرنے کا شکریہ۔

سانحہء زیارت

2013-06-18T12:21:00.003+05:00

کیا ایک اور بنگلہ دیش کی تیاری ہے؟ کیونکہ میرا یہی ماننا ہے، کہ ہمارے حکمرانوں نے یہی پلان بنایا ہے۔ کیونکہ جس طرح قاءیداعظم ریزیڈنسی کو روکٹ حملہ کر کے تباہ کیا گیا ہے، اس نام پر کہ زیارت ریزیڈنسی پختون اور بلوچوں کو فرنگی دور کی یاد دلاتا تھا، اور مزے کی بات کہہ وہ لوگ رہے ہیں جو اس وقت بلوچستان کی حکومت میں ہیں اور تو اور کویی نہیں بلکہ پختون خواہ ملی پارٹی کے نمایندے کہہ رہے ہیں۔ بہانہ بازی دیکھنا چاہییے ان کی، بلوچوں نے خود قاید اعطظم کو جگہ دی تھی، وہ غیور قوم کیسے کہہ سکتی ہے کہ یہ قاید اعظم کا نہیں بلکہ کسی انگریز کی یادگار تھی؟ ٹھیک ہے انگریز نے بنوایا تھا مگر وہاں قاید اعظم ٹھیرے تھے! کویی بلوچ یا پختوں میں نہیں سمجھتا ان خبط دماغ والوں کی طرح سوچتا ہے۔ پختوں اوربلوچوں کو جتنی قاید اعظم سے عقیدت ہے، اس کا ہم شاید اندازہ بھی نہیں کر سکتے، اور ان کے پارے میں کہا جا رہا ہے، کہ وہ (بلوچ اور پختوں) اس کام میں ان کے ہامی تھے۔ میرا یہ ماننا ہے، قوم پرست جماعتیں بلوچستان میں کھل کر سامنے آگی ہیں، کیونکہ یہ کویی وجہ نہیں کہ آپ کسی بلڈنگ کو جلادیں۔ اگر ایسی بات ہے تو پھر آپ انگریز کے ریلوے ٹریک اور کونوینٹ اسکول اور اسپتال کو بھی جلا دو! یہ جہالت نہیں تو اور کیا ہے؟

اگر چلو ان کی بات مان بھی لی جایے تو دنیا سیاحت پر چل رہی ہے، کیا اس کے ذریعے ہم زرہ مبادلہ نہیں کما سکتے تھے؟ ۱۸ویں ترمیم کے بعد ویسے بھی سیاحت صوبوں کو مل گیی ہے، تو کیا اس سے بلوچستان کی عوام کی خدمت نہیں ہوتی؟ ان کی زندگی آسان نہیں ہوتی؟ کیا بلوچستان میں رہنے والوں کا حق نہیں ہے کہ وہ بھی اچھی زندگی کزاریں؟ شرم آتی ہے مجھے، پتہ نہیں تمہیں آتی ہے کہ نھیں، اپنے آپکو صوبے کا کہلواکر۔ مجھے یقین نہیں آتا ایسے ایسے جاہلوں کو ہم نے اپنے سروں پر سوار کیا ہوا ہے، مگر کیا کریں، ہمیں خود بھی تو شوق ہے ایسوں کو ووٹ دینے کا!

اللہ رحم کرے بس۔ آمین

Repolling in Karachi

2013-05-19T18:43:00.001+05:00

Today when I am writing this thing, polling at famous NA250 for 43 polling station has just completed and according to which PTI is at the lead and the aggregate of which is going to be merged with remaining Polling Stations in this constituency,

Though I had been discussing that with my university friends that they should conduct votes on instalment basis, following are my justifications for it;

1. Security can be maintained uniformly,

2. Media can give equal attention to a particular regions,

3. Less Thappas since because of effective security plans, it won't be easy to conduct such activities,

4. Easy to maintain a transparency in all these activities,

5. When we posses VeriSys mechanism, than why not conducting e-ballot? Those who can have an internet facility, can conduct voting from home while only having to fill secret questions which are encoded into their NADRA database, therefore there is going to be less chaos at polling station, and rigging can easily be caught in return, therefore it'll reduce thappa culture brought to us by all-famous NAMALOOM AFRAAD.

Have your say on it guys!

Pathetic Campaigning

2013-05-09T13:09:00.001+05:00

I don't know what the hell this PPPP claims that Bilawal Zardari should have got postal vote cast facility, when he's not a Government Figure nor an Army personnel.

Than how come instead of counting on their achievements, trying to buy sentiments of those who are not literate, buying their sentiments, why the hell they should be saying that "aapka vote bhutto ki amanat hai" what the hell, why didn't they let their vote bank literate? My only question is this.

Else this is also a reality that who's a shaheed and who's a traitor and who's responsible for East Pakistan Massacre? I know many of my PPP friends are going to get fumed at me but I just want to convey them just tell me how much they gave to Pakistan and how much they took from Pakistan? I don't call them shaheed but all drama! If they were Shaheed than what WE got from their so called Shahadat? Think that way and don't get biased, instead be logical else there's not gonna be a difference between you and your ancestors, you're young but your mindset is as old and stinky as your ancestors.

Yeah you read that right but I am not gonna talk about that Indian movie instead I am gonna talk about our people who have a very short memory like Amir Khan in that movie had.

I know many who'd read this would be driving crazy, keeping in mind I am not associated with any of the parties in Pakistan nor I believe in sectarian based, linguistic based, or relation based politics. They say it's democracy than if you do wrong than bear the music.

There are group of so called a particular family, who rules over Sindhi's claim if Sindhi's don't support them than Sindh would be divided, for god's sake man! You're believing on those people who were gifted lands and other remunerations by the englishmen when they left Subcontinent? Who were left as their associates after they leave the South Asia? Please guys, do listen to your heart but with these people, use your mind. It won't be hurting them if you die in the same position you were born, till they are happy with themselves, look on the broader perspective, they amount they have given to Pakistan, in return how much have they taken from Pakistan? Do you guys have any idea? That's why, be Sindhi not a coward, Sindhis had a tradition to be loyal, sincere and steadfast, and they had a tendency to stand against injustice, I am not saying we're good but still we're sincere with ourselves.

Look at Israni's and Ambani's, they come from this vary land, now just see they used themselves in positive manner where tey stand now, and here are you who have been deprived of opportunities and only get one what is left off them. Were you guys like that in History? Just think about your past and compare it with present and imagine a future if you guys are under them.

Peace!

Culture and Pakistan...

2013-04-24T12:35:00.000+05:00

Culture is many things like
linguistics, which relates us
to the West compared to the
Eastern borders.

Culture is the characteristics of a particular group of people, defined by everything from language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music and arts. Today, in the United States as in other countries populated largely by immigrants, the culture is influenced by the many groups of people that now make up the country.

One thing which I have been noting down since long on Pakistani Television and News Network is that we are on an identity crisis, for me it has been imposed on us, just to make fun of us and to pretend that we are a failure state with no identity. I know many wouldn’t agree with me nor I want them to agree with me because I am not a sycophancy natured person who always likes to gain attention of others, what I am talking is that on the basis of the history.

No doubt We Pakistanis and Indians lived together for centuries (not decades) but it is also a reality that Muslims to the Sub-Continent come from Central Asia, Iran and the Arab Peninsula, similarly Muslims bought the “wearing clothes phenomenon” in this region, like Shalwar Kameez initially originated from the Central Asian Countries and Afghanistan, similarly we’re related more to Iran (though they do possess a fair attitude towards us, and they feel they are superior than us, though that’s is another thing when my mother scold them in Arabic during her Umrah in 2007, because an Iranian women tried to kick my mother’s traveling bag to make way for her bag, so these things do possess in between), but the reality is, that yeah we are facing an Identity Crisis for sure, because those who’re related with the Central Asian, the Afghani and the Iranian culture are trying to make a relation with the So CALLED Indian Culture which was literally GIFTED to them by (if I convey an Indian’s point of view) “the Muslim Invaders”, we gave them clothes (don’t want to go deep into history but dhoti was the only thing which I read existed before arrival of Muslims, and females only used to wear a shawl or something in order to cover their chests, no concept of blouse to them), gave them tastes (Nihari, Kebabs, Biryani, etc are all our innovations into the Indian Sub-Continent), built a blue-map of how to develop their cities in future (Darwaza’s especially at Lahore and Delhi are prime examples of demarcation of cities at the times of Muslim era).

And if we read the history books without any intakes of Hard Drink, it would clearly state that a civilization emerged from this (current Pakistani region) area and went to east, Muslims entered the Sub-Continent via Sindh, Moen-jo-Daro, Taxilla, Harappa, are some of the examples of how significant this Pakistan area was for many civilizations, therefore our influence is and should be towards the Central Asian Countries and the Iranian Peninsula, though we have emotional attachment with the Arabs but this is also a reality that we differ from them in many aspects, like in case of linguistic Urdu is our identity which only relates to the Arabs because of their writing or like we say in Urdu “Rasm-ul-Khat”, not the Indian, (sorry to say, my Indian counterparts are going to say some very nice things to me) but reality should be admitted that our culture was transferred to India, Sharara, Gharara, Shalwar Kameez, Linguistics (else Sanskrit was then the language used in that part of the world, whereas we used to be speak Ordo, Persian and Arabic).

After all this I don’t know why we try to relate ourselves to India, when there is so much difference prevailing, Indians adopted our culture and marketing it as theirs, else we don’t wear “dhoti’s” etc on regular, nor we wear Sari’s as our national dress, nor we have problems with our linguistics which easily differentiates us with the Indians who still hesitate in narrating certain words which we easily do, so open your eyes guys, and instead of being copy cats, try to be innovative and be yourself, instead of portraying yourself as someone else.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS AND WILL BE THAT INDIAN CULTURE IS WHAT THEY GOT FROM MUSLIMS and not that we relate to them, THEY RELATE WITH US. The same thing with Pakistani media as well, whenever try to incorporate Indian content into Pakistani screens, do get a permission of the same in India as well. You guys have the power to change the taste of people, so use it instead of playing the demand syndrome all the time.

Peace!

A Tenure... Thank God Finished

2013-03-16T21:21:00.000+05:00

Questions should be asked from them,
what they did in their tenure, when the
whole country's sentiments were with
them?

End of Zardari Government, February 2008 to 16th March 2013. Nothing to say about their "brilliant" tenure but one must say, they must have enjoyed their term a lot. I am not in against of Incorporation of Sindhi's in mainstream but it should be upon merit not on mutual understanding and relationships, that's what they did the whole tenure, doing "Mufahimat" and playing musical chairs game, without giving chance for youngsters to have jobs on their credibility(s), instead using them to achieve their own goals.

I must say, what Mr. Abdul Rehman Malik aka Rehman Malik did during his whole tenure as Interior Minister of Pakistan? Banning Cellular Services, Making Predictions but doing nothing except Killing on the name of Bhutto! It might hurt their followers but this is reality, I don't call MQM a good party but at times when City of Karachi needed them, they stepped in! What they (The PPP's) have done except Renaming all National Institutes on Bhutto Family? No doubt they have contributed a lot to Pakistan but now the time has come that we should look forth instead of giving the same pathetic people again and again!

From the day one, they were interested in incorporating foreign assistance for filling their own pockets, and not for getting rid of electricity and power-outage problem, which according to them was gifted by Marshal Law, first Rental Power Houses and than Pak-Iran Peace Pipelines, I am not in against of this but instead of not depending on National Resources, why they are so interested in foreign aided assistance? They Publicly say they are the National Party of Pakistan, have they given a prove to that?

Their Activities;

This is the worst they could had done, by devaluing the Pakistani Rupees stated at 60 per Dollar to 100 per Dollar. Than Joke of the Millennium that they have done those things which were not done during previous 65 years. I can't see any benefits of their government, instead of encroachment, and electricity theft I have seen nothing from their end. Even the strip around Karachi-Hyderabad HW, that area which was supposed to be extension area for Highway, has been encroached by their followers, not only that stealing electricity on the name of Bhutto and Mafahimati Policy has been their regular practices. What is the end outcome of this? We are the victims of 9 9 hours electricity outage though most of my locality pays in advance bills and at times we get discounted bills, but still we are being victimized because they are taking electricity from our Sub-Station. I've met educated Sindhi's as well in Interior Sindh but they are sorry to say unlike those which we experience with Zardari and his followers.

I've only a single question that how and why Intellectuals not coming and contesting votes from Sindh instead of these pathetic faces? In their 5 years they never developed a single city in Interior Sindh! This is ironical. Secondly they never went for constant growth and improvement. Gas and Electricity Outage and Devaluation of Pakistani Rupees has been their contribution to their voters, again sorry to say people might mind but we as a nation have short memory, we don't remember what they have done in the past, made a term "Long March" a joke, these pathetic people will win their votes on BB and Bhutto's name, and people would give them votes. Musharraf though was a dictator but he created opportunities in Karachi and elsewhere, no doubt about it, at least his regime was better then this one, at least there was a worth of 1000 Rupees, now 1000 Rupees means 50 60 Rupees, is that they have given to their followers?

My Questions to them!

Have they promoted those who are competent and deserving?
Have they done something substantial to get rid of Energy Sources Problems?
What about Career Management? Have they created Opportunities for Deserving ones to have a suitable career to Support their Families? Exclude those for purpose of buying... shoot sorry winning the hearts and votes?
Why was devaluation of Pakistani Rupees? Why there wasn't ample circulation of money in the market?
Why suicide and remote control bombers attacked us but not you? Even Musharraf was attacked several times during his regime (Please Don't say BB thing, we all know that)
Why the refugees who came to Karachi due to floods were not made to return to their own places instead of being encroached in Karachi?
When those refugees going to return home?
What and how much you have done to promote education in Pakistan? Is BISP capable of handling this too?
Why not you concentrate on the administration and management aspect of your governance?
Are those target killers, na-maloom-afraad, suicide jacket wearers, and remote control bombers were planted by you?
What are the benefits you got on shunning the Cellular Services? Has the Comedian RM achieved something from it?
What is the purpose, benefit and reason of having websites of your followers and MPA's when your actual voters can't access it and we don't like accessing them?
What you have done to promote sporting activities domestically, in the Province of Sindh? (Building GKB Cricket Stadium, I am not interested in it)
On what grounds you're saying that you're going to win elections? (I feel you have already bought your votes) Nothing substantial enough to win on your own. Sorry to say...
Even in your very first regime, you suck the inch of Pakistan's economy and Similarly this regime as well, if got chance next chance, what are you going to do than?
What and why there was the reason to shun whole country into darkness?
Why are you behind HEC? Because it benefits those who're capable? or it disqualifies your followers qualification?

I know they don't have answers to either of the questions but still IF YOU'RE their voters, kindly ask them these questions before voting them, else in future whatever gonna happen would be because of you guys. Apologies if my bluntness did harm anyone but for me, this is a matter of either YES or NO, and I say NO to them.

Peace!

Just before the elections...

2012-05-20T19:29:00.002+05:00

We have a very bad habit of being quiet at times, when it could cost us something, just like the hypocrisy of our beloved politicians, who at the time of election gather around us (just to) confirm their votes, and we have, I am sorry to say, have made our votes worthless, by voting such people, who get themselves pressurized from Uncle Sam, and have no fear off those people who actually vote them.

Democracy in Pakistan is failed because of these people
who do not know what democracy really is

Picture is bleak whatsoever, so its idiotic to think any goods for the future unless and until if we give worth to our votes and give votes to those who have some sense. I am, lets be honest not a fan of MQM, but still the way Senator Mustafa Kamal, in his Mayor ship Regime, did work for Karachi is exceptional and we want such enthusiastic people in the government instead of using the name of the great leaders like Benazir Bhutto and Z.A. Bhutto but outcome is nil or like we say in Urdu, زیرو بٹا سناٹا.

People should know, that whatever their leaders did in the past, is because of which they are great leaders, but its not necessary that their followers might still be like them, because this current regime of PPP was a big disappointment, they have been wobbling of Media and House of Courts trials. One should remember one thing that this is the same media which counter Shahbaz Shareef with his Laptop schemes and blew the air out of the balloon, by telling the reality about this scheme.

Just look how pathetically this current so called "Democratic Regime" exercise was successful, earlier Uncle Sam was with Musharraf so he was good, not PPP, who:

devalued Pakistani Rupee.
increased inflation in the country.
respect, dignity of Pakistani identity in shatters.
ate those which were profitable.
though, we do possess ample capacity for electric supply, still doing corruption to have some gain.
bribing people to vote for them.

The pictures says it all, unless and until there is influence of Uncle Sam, in and within Pakistan, I don't think there's any hope even if there's any other coalition government "exercises" in Pakistan, since in the Parliament, PPP is at such majority that whatever the government made, had to be made with consultation with these guys.

WHAT I PERSONALLY FEEL?

If these politicians were really good, than why aren't we are a car manufacturing nation, Bangladesh is on its way for the same, don't talk about India, they are way ahead compared to us with years' distance. Though we manufactured Suzuki FX in Pakistan, than after the initiation, why we didn't go with it? Hate to say that we are still assemblers. People say Leaders evolve from us, do you call these Humpty Dumpty characters as our leaders?

We don't emphasize on education, and those who are educated, their quality and standard of education not upto that standard, that we can even compete with country's like Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, we should stop thinking about India and work on our own weaknesses, because of our own idiotic leadership, we have made our western borders unsecured, even Iranian border is not as safe for Pakistanis as Iranian authorities comparison to Indians, see Pakistani with great suspicions. This is a diplomatic failure of our leadership. Economic strata of India still not excellent but still they are attracting investors to their motherland. We don't rate our country as motherland, that's a problem.

Nutshell

Someone do requires to take initiation, to have things back on track, these old horses have spent their time, and at this age, their decision making and taking sense has got dull, so please give air to fresh faces, and as far as the media is concerned, they should more concentrate on their material and content instead of exposing via their clothings, people in Pakistan still listen to Moeed Pirzada because of his analysis, so please concentrate on your content, and wear sensible and maturity caps on your heads if any...

Peace!

Blame games

2011-09-14T13:29:00.001+05:00

Lack of Education and apart from the lack of Maturity in thinking has been exposed during 3 continuous days of torrential raining in Karachi and the whole province of Sindh. I am not saying this as I am also a Muslim but the matter of fact that some people here are wobbling that "Allah ka Azaab hai yeh, apny Aamaal ki maafi mango" transliteration: This is the curse of Allah, pray him for your forgiveness.

I say this is just one of the minute reasons, the majority of reasons are scattered on the grounds, which are being ignored and overlooked by us, including mismanagement, fore-seeing the problems already in the city, unnecessary encroachments and building infrastructures without planning, in rainy seasons we got to know how prematurely they were built, with no exit points for storm water drainages, plus taking no care of the slopes. I myself faced the catastrophe on Saturday when had to walk almost 19 kilometers on my foot as near Quaid-e-Azam Mazar where I was stranded as my bike magnet chamber was badly soaked with weeds and water, plus the water was flowing that way that it made me felt that I am not inside Karachi city but on the Karachi city beach. Therefore I just wanna say one thing to such people who're putting all their pathetic deeds on Allah that first check their own collars, as simple as that. If those people didn't support such janitor minded people allowed to take a pew on our heads, things would not been that bad.

I am not fan of comparison all the time but lets see the example of Sri Lanka for instance, those who've been there would agree how much it rains there and in Southern India, although corruption prevails there as well, but they have worked really hard on their drainage systems as well, instead of playing musical chair games of shifting and modifying the blames, they could had worked on the drainage systems of atleast Karachi city, 2006-07 than 2009 and now 2011, within 5 years we had 3 instances of such catastrophic situation in the province and in the city itself, so is it to be blamed to Almighty Allah or should we also check our own collars where we're headed to??

I want to be neutral on this arena but I've to admit and confess that during the era and regime of Former Mayor Karachi Mustafa Kamal when such thing happened, he took prompt actions, bulldozing encroachments on the most posh' areas of Karachi like Clifton and DHA areas which were heavily politicized encroachments but he took such prompt actions and result of which was that next years i.e. in 2007 and 2008, the situation was not that bad and within hours the flow of traffic was resumed on the busiest routes of Karachi, I myself experienced on thing when I was stuck in Urdu Bazaar which is in the center of Saddar Town, that time my mommy called me saying not to take NIPA route, it takes 15 minutes on normal circumstances for me to reach NIPA from Urdu Bazaar, that day took 1 hour and 15 minutes approximate but by that time NIPA was all cleared and their tractors and machineries were packing up their work, keeping in mind that time there were work going on at NIPA bridge like making it a signal free zone and installation of pedestrian crossings, that work was also going on and apart from that cleaning up the mess due to rain, simultaneously. When this city is giving so much to everyone than why can't we give this city, only some of our contribution?

We're totally illiterate although on paper we have degrees like MBA's, BBA's, BS, MS etc but our thinking is like of that person who sells fruit, lets be honest we don't have the manners of what possessed by "Literate People", we run from acquiring education, than we expect to have forgiveness on behalf of the Holy Prophet (Peace be Upon Him), whose very first Wahi was to Read. On what grounds are we going to even face him when we're so pathetic in our thinking, we're hypocrite, we're thieves, we're selfish and we don't think for others when there's some advantage for us, not we take care of such things that how he/she'd be feeling when we'd be showing off in front of that person!!! I just want to ask these "honourable" politicians one single and simple thing, that it's said that a responsibility falls onto your shoulders when you acquire a higher seat, than why aren't you not fulfilling the responsibilities come with that seat? Is politics and the political party more important that fulfilling your responsibility? Are we living in the era of Socialism, where government was responsible for each and everything, no one could acquire even a piece of land within the limit, or Capitalism where capitalists ruled the economy or is it mixed economy system, where Government plays the role of monitoring authority? The fault lies here, which is being diverted by saying it's a curse from heavens. Although I'm and I'll be admitting this, it is a clear indication from up-heavens to keep our accounts clear but saying it's just because of curse from heaven and nothing else is hypocrisy.

Sorry if I used tough language, but people around me are acting weird saying holy crap etc. Were we ready with tackling such situation? Are we utilizing the young population in the country with their innovative ideas and capabilities? Have we expanded the education level? It's a lamest of excuse that because of Security conditions both within the country and with India, we can't invest in education, you say India, the Indian education level is much better than us, their publishers' printed books are being taught here, they're also in state of war with us, but equally they've been more sincere to their nation than our leaders.

Take care and remember me in your prayers!

Possession, grabbing tactics in the city

2011-07-27T15:49:00.001+05:00

Using direct approach in official communication terms, I am bluntly saying that what happening in Karachi is because the presence of so many different political parties in the city, they are responsible for what is happening in the city. Everyone is trying its best to have hold and possession of this city, because possession of this city means you've captured half of Pakistan and most probably in a position to capture the whole.

Why I am saying like this?

Karachi no doubt is a hen,
that lays golden eggs

I don't know these illiterate politicians think their planning aren't gonna be exposed! Honestly, tell me a thing, that transport in Karachi is owned by ANP, (which claims that its the party for majority of Pukhtoons in Karachi), they're currently in the Provincial Government of Sindh alongwith PPP, so banning pillion riding again and again IN KARACHI only means that there's someone personal motives behind it, honestly tell me whoever is a bike rider, if he takes another person with him on bike, it divides their own bike fare to that place and plus it'll save some time compared to public transport. Like I give my personal experience, my university from my home is about 28-29 kilometers, the time it took me to reach my university on bike was approximate 29-30 minutes, provided traffic load variation, means approximate 1 kilometer/minute is an average, with approximate 38 Rs. for one day home-university-home trip, once when because of petrol pumps closed in Karachi for 2 days, I had chance to travel in a bus, and god swear it was a pain traveling in pre-historic era public transport, ok I'd had bear that pain if it had dropped me on time, which was not the case as even though I took a 1.30 Hrs time duration, but still they made me miss a slot of mine, plus Rs. 35/- only one way trip, return meant Rs. 70/-.

Secondly one of my classmate who lives on my way to the university, in normal circumstances, I'd had picked him up and so we both share the bike petrol expenses, and reach on time, so because of NOT HAVING BAN on bike riding means public transport are not getting equal amount passengers, so because of that ban the only beneficiaries are public transport who're owned by ANP. Plus on the regime of Former Mayor of Karachi City, Mustafa Kamal, ANP opposed the idea of equipping the city with mass-transit around and inside the city, because that meant that their passengers would divert to mass-transit, which was supposed to be fast, swift and economical.

Transportation situation here in Karachi
not upto the total span of the city

Thirdly their hypocrisy is exposed when they're charging amounts because of hike in the prices of the Diesel in International Market, but literally they're running their pre-historic vehicles on CNG (Compressed/Cooled Natural Gas), which is approximate 30 Rupees cheaper than Petrol and Diesel approximate, and therefore they've been acting like underground Mafia, who want everyone to act like they wanted to.

Pathetic state of mind!
Plus they say of deweaponizing the city, but because they're in power in the city, they've the privilege of mobilizing of weapons from outside the city into the city, everyone will agree with me that weaponizing started in Karachi because of inclusion of such criminal characters into the city with backing from the former, else without the backing of such people, criminal elements can't stay in the city, and this political party is supporting them so that they can capture the city, the already confessed that weapons are their jewels. Plus Plus Plus! They say migrants from India ruined Karachi else it was best place, let me tell you one thing, it were the migrants which possessed educated background, else Karachi was a Baloch Town named on a Baloch Mai Kolachi, so how and why they say they were there, when migrants came to Karachi. These were the people, who scrapped the already installed Tram system across the city, because of the fact that they wanted to get the control over transport and other things, as they knew mentally and educationally, they can't capable of compete with them (mind you I am only criticizing the political leadership, not Pukhtoon Nation, as I feel Pukhtoon Nation and their leadership are two different things, not every Pukhtoon is like that, even if I am alive right now because of a Pukhtoon, who helped me get away from the troubled site on the eve of Assassination of Benazir Bhutto on 27th December 2007, when I was returning from B.Com teacher's home, that's why I owe alot to Pukhtoons, but their leadership unfortunately is vice versa)

Confession - have to admit that!!!
Pakistani politics in such a pathetic state of mind, this morning I just received a message on my cell phone, which explains the situation in Karachi perfectly, that a person in hell called US, he was cost 300 that call, some days later he called UK, it cost 250, but when he called Karachi the next day, it cost 1 Rupee, that man got astonished and asked hell demon how's it so? They replied, hell-to-hell are charged on local call tariff. Amusing but its reality, and its not because of one political party, but almost all political parties have black sheeps in their line-up, everyone is trying to get hold of the city into their grasps, that's why they are injecting their vote bank into Karachi (without giving them facility of living standards, etc just for fulfilling their political motives), this is what being happening in Karachi, and alongwith those migrants, criminal elements also enter the city, and after making hideouts in the city they start their activities and play their dirty games.

Borders of Provinces of Pakistan

2011-06-29T15:48:00.003+05:00

Since inception of Pakistan, Bureaucrats, politicians and army personnel got many chances to rule but no one dare to even change the British system we got after the partition of South Asia. The major reason behind it is the feudal system followers who didn't want their properties to be distributed among the masses whom were gifted by the Britoners. To be honest, our current reap of politicians hail from the same, which I think should be removed from mainstream politics of Pakistan, as wobble for democracy but once again sorry to say they are void of any democratic criteria. Many countries around Pakistan didn't commit such mistakes.

When I say none of our politicians know anything about democracy, I mean it, because what retaliated the people in Present Bangladesh against Pakistan was the reason that the politicians in Western Pakistan made Eastern Pakistan a single Unit and the Whole Bunch of Western Pakistan with its four provinces, agencies and smaller divisions, as another unit. Why go so far, India divided it Eastern Punjab (which mind you, is smaller than Western Punjab, which is in Pakistan) into 3 smaller provinces, couldn't we done the same to keep the unity?

Why I am saying all this?
In order to have a stable democratic structure and making them a vital part in administrative structure of the country, giving them priority in other aspects like justice, and certain other societal advantages, require number of provinces to be present, as now the population of Pakistan not that small like it was at the time of partition, since partition the population of Pakistan increased gradually. For this purpose smaller provinces are the need of time as the bigger the provinces, the bigger are the inequality roars among the provincial level. For goodness sakes, controlling a country of approximate 18 Crores, with four Provincial Capitals and one Federal Capital doesn't look a normal thing, and this has been the major hurdle in handling the admin aspects of the provinces and country since 64 years. Look for yourself, one dominent province is so much that they are creating provincial level rationalism, wherever we go whether its North East Punjab, South Punjab, North West Punjab, and not to forget Rural and Urban Sindhi areas, where some trouble makers have been on the basis of these factors, creating instability.

At the time of partition!
Pakistan consists of 4 provinces, including Punjab including its biggest independent district Bahawalpur, Sindh province including independent district Khairpur, North West Frontier Province (current Khyber-Pukhtunkhwa province) and also including Swat, Chitral, Dir, and last but not the least Balochistan province which includes Qalat (which had adjourning areas like Makran, Lasbela and Kharan in its outskirts), plus Federally Administrated Tribal Areas also known as FATA includes Gilgit, Baltistan, North and South Waziristan and Dir Agencies are part of it.
We wobble that we posses four provinces but the reality and matter of fact is that all the districts and FATA areas possessed individual identities and flags as well, which makes almost 18 different units altogether, and in 1955 Pakistan administration made a mess of it by by diminishing all these units/identities and making them all as one unit only.

In comparison!

India	Bangladesh
At the time of partition of South Asia, India got 8 provinces, sorry to say but	Bangladesh also showed its presence of mind
due to presence of political intelligence and know-how, they multiplied those	and multiplied its 5 provinces into 23.
8 provinces into 46 provinces by the time I'm writing this,	No doubt they've full control of their
including 3 provinces off Indian Punjab namely Punjab, Himachal Pradesh,	provinces. Although small cases of insurgencies
and Haryana.	are going on over there as well.

At the time of Englishmen!
Englishmen also gone for amalgamation and re-demarcation of boundaries from time to time in their regime, until 1936 Bombay and Sindh were under the same presidency, but due to pressure from Quaid-e-Azam and his party, they annulled Sindh and Bombay. Similarly Punjab used to be single unit that time but they also divided it into two, and later India further divided its part of Punjab into further 3.

In the neighbourhood
Our neighbouring countries do possess dozen of provinces themselves, taking example of Iran and Afghanistan, they respectively have 26 and 32 provinces themselves. Our provinces are so big in size that Balochistan which is twice the size of countries like, Bangladesh, Nepal, Malaysia, UK, Syria and several Middle Eastern Countries. Similarly Sindh is twice the size of countries like Sweden and Libya, and 1.5 times the population of Afghanistan, Syria, Sri Lanka, and Australia. These above mentioned countries are having more than a dozen provinces in them

Why Smaller Provinces?
Smaller provinces allows fast and swift mobilization of services and facilities in the province. Just imagine the vast area of Sindh doesn't give that privilege, try Google Earth and calculate the distance between Larkana and Karachi and than imagine how goods, services, justice and certain other facilities can be controlled from that much North from South in Karachi? One city located with the beach at South and another at the extreme North at the border of Sindh and Pakistani Punjab!!!

Its not a joke or something I feel its matter of concern, when the present government says its the Sign of Federation so work on Strengthening the Federation, instead of wasting papers for paperwork.

Sugar Politics

2010-12-05T15:01:00.002+05:00

Don't wanna say more about the corruption of our beloved politicians but here's another prove how they're doing their politics.

Khan Liaquat Ali Khan regime	0.60	PKR
Khowaja Nazimuddin regime	0.75	PKR
General Ayub Khan regime	1.75	PKR
Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto regime	6.00	PKR
General Zia-ul-Haque regime	9.00	PKR
Benazir Bhutto first regime	10.00	PKR
Nawaz Shareef first regime	13.00	PKR
Benazir Bhutto second regime	21.00	PKR
Nawaz Shareef second regime	21.00	PKR
Pervaiz Musharraf regime	30.00	PKR
Yousuf Raza Gillani regime	125.00	PKR
P.S. at the start of PM Gillani regime, sugar prices were unexpectedly reduced to 25.00 PKR and later hiked to 125.00

It must be noted that half of the sugar mills in the country are in the possession of these feudal lords, and so controlling of sugar prices are obviously in their own hands but they're not taking an initiative

Electricity game being played by the politicians in Pakistan

2010-11-27T16:31:00.015+05:00

Following is the message I just received from a fellow colleague of mine, which I am quoting as it is...

Assalam-o-alaikum

Dear friends,

Read, Think & understand the game International Powers are playing with us with the help of! Electricity produced in Pakistan is from three main sources.

1). Hydral

2). Thermal (Gas/Steam/Furnace Oil)

3). Nuclear

There are four major power producers in country which include Water & Power Development Authority (WAPDA), Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC), Independent Power Producers (IPPs) and Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC).

Below is the break-up of the installed capacity of each of these power producers (as of June-2008).

Hydral Electricity generated by WAPDA varies between two extremities i.e. between minimum of 2,414 MW and maximum of 6,761 MW depending upon the river flow through the whole year. Total Power Generation Capacity of Pakistan (including all sources) is ~19,855 MW and the electricity demand (as of 20-04-2010) is 14,500 MW and PEPCO is merely generating 10,000 MW. So it is obvious that these 15-20 hrs power shutdowns in most parts of the country are not because of the lack of generation capacity but only because of IMF/World Bank policies imposed on our nation by Govt. The Power Generation companies are not buying Furnace Oil from Pakistan State Oil (PSO) by saying they don’t have money to do that but we are all paying for Electricity that is generated from Furnace Oil. This is the reason that top refineries like PRL are operating at 40% capacities. IMF/World bank has imposed to reduce budget deficit by importing less crude oil. But due to this fact all our industries are under severe crisis. None of our political party who are in Assembly is ready to speak on it because every one is blessed by US / IMF / World Bank. Shame upon us...

Friends!!!

This is a time to show your social activism, your power and strength. It is your silence which is deafening and your couldn’t care less attitude which makes the people in power more powerful evasive and secure in their Air conditioned offices.

PLEASE STAND UP AND BE COUNTED: WE WANT ELECTRICITY IN PAKISTAN.

Electricity now is @ 11 Rs. per unit, and it will increase after every two months as directed by (American) IMF policies. Although CHINA is willing to offer to Pakistan Electricity for just Rs.200 Monthly Bill and Unlimited Usage of Electricity but our government is not taking the offer seriously. This is because there will be neither kick backs nor any commissions to be pocketed by the strong mafia of politicians and bureaucrats. These people are there because of your votes. Let them serve you rather than rule you……NOW THIS IS OUR TIME TO SHOW THE GOVERNMENT YOUR STRENGTH. PLEASE SPREAD THIS MESSAGE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN, BECAUSE OF THIS MESSAGE MANY PEOPLE WOULD COME TO KNOW ABOUT THE TRUTH...

Cheap politics

2010-11-23T15:24:00.000+05:00

Paying price of being a National project

It has been a time since Kalabagh Dam has been a controversial issue in the history of Pakistan, but the reality is that Kalabagh Dam upon completion is necessary for a prosperous Pakistan, but about time since 1985, dirty political game on this dam is being played on and on, making it Kalabagh Damn, instead of Dam.

Even according to the Indus Water Treaty between Pakistan and India, the project of Kalabagh Dam was to be started in 1980s and Diamir Bhasha Dam (citation required) was to be completed not later than 1990s, if both of these projects were completed on time, so it were beneficial in todays time when we're facing a debacle in power sources shortage. The feasibility report on Kalabagh Dam was completed years ago and till today, approximate 4 Billion Rupees expense have been recorded, but irony of fate, the politicians we've got have been responsible for creating problems for the country instead of creating new resources to capitalize on.

In current scenario, there's no electricity nor water nor anything in bread and butter for the common people. Good governance has been a sick old man's pathetic dream. The say they're the elected government but there's nothing of that sort when on ground. Every political party and elected government is instead of giving importance to the national interest, have been busy with their own personal agendas etc, resulting in increase in suicides, the poor getting poorer and the rich getting richer, but these people don't care about it. When schools are treated as Marriage Bureaus, Marriage Halls, Cattle Farms so what you suppose from them?

WHAT THE OPPOSITION KALABAGH DAM LITERALLY THINKING?

KP Province thinks that the construction of KB Dam would endanger Nowshehra city, but in return the experts reduced the height of the dam from 925 feet to 912 feet, on the contrary, former care-taker Chief Minister of KP province, and former Chairman WAPDA Engineer Shams-ul-Mulk as majority of times gave lectures on the utilization of this project, and technically speaking the view points of Mr. Shams-ul-Mulk has weight as he hails from the KP province.

On the other hand, the feudals in the province of Sindh fear that the construction of this project will reduce their share of water and in result the required amount of sea water won't reach to the Arabian sea and it will affect the areas of Badin and Thatta in Sindh. The reality is that It'll affect those feudals who're responsible for land snatching and are able to use Indus River without any fear, now they starting to fear that having KB dam will deprive them of that water.

On the other hand, if we put National Interest into consideration, so we'll see that the main problem the nation is facing is that of power outage, specially since from 2007, industries have shifted themselves from Pakistan thanks to limitation in electricity and resulting in unemployment.

Till the time I am writing this, currently there is shortage in storing of water, due to which our agriculture sector is also affected. It must be noted that Quaid-e-Azam on the refer of Mianwali Hydal Project(which later transformed into KB Dam), approved this project.

It must be noted, how pathetic minds we've that such a project has been put into dust just to have our dirty and pathetic politics to have some weight with them.

No offense

Are we... as a nation?

2010-11-21T16:11:00.004+05:00

When are we going to give importance to the motherland compared to our individual motives?

I know after reading this, many orthodox readers might call me a 22 years old boy whose possessed by a 55 years old man, but that's true and no one can deny it as a nation, we're never united under one umbrella like the way those nations whose progressing graphs are always on the high, because, what I think are the reasons behind it:

1.	They rate their country first and than their own incentives and materialistic advantages	1.	Here, the story is totally different, we don't give a damn to our country and whenever and whatever the chance we get, we always try to fill our own pockets first, the motherland would/should goto hell,he/she don't cares.
2.	Even while doing duty for their country, if by chance they try find out something deep secret, which could harm the country's impression (not the ruling party's moto), they'll act and act violently, that's why their governments are always afraid of their common people as the people over there have the real power.	2.	If we shift our attention to this side of the line, things are completely vice versa. If by chance any one would find out about something which could harm country but it could be encashed, the person over here will go for it, everyone says the common men are just the impression of the people who're ruling them, I say the ruling class is the mirror image of the common people and they hail from them, so first we should clean the black sheep among us and than expect good results in return.
3.	Their media also safeguards country's interest (once again I am again for god's sake again mentioning that there's a lot of difference between country's interest and ruling party's interest) and will prohibit anything which could harm it.	3.	On the other hand, here our media likes to gather sympathies from outside specially from Uncle Sam, by showing each and everything, exposing laziness of the party ruling the government is another thing, but to expose such things as public service, but literally they are playing with the nation's pride by showing such things which could create panic and sometimes result in exposing the master-plans of the security agencies. Like when CID office was bombed last week in Karachi, some news channels started to tell each and everything about that building and exposing things like what were the measures taken while construction of this building and how many cameras were there in that building, as if a person who plans his today with reference to the future plans would not figure out whenever a new building would be constructed, what new measures could they take to reduce the security lapse, if any.

The reason of differentiating between both lines were to show how careless we've been, we break the traffic signals, we steal electricity, we spend hours and hours on mobile subscription night packages, we always give preference to our incentives compared to the country's. Shame upon us and I am not saying politicians or media as both of these things hail from us. Whatever we as a nation possess, is reflected from them. We curse the politicians or the media for their mishaps, and I must admit they've done not a blunder but a series of blunders and still more to come, till we don't change ourselves such humiliation would go on and on. Have we as a nation done 10 20 percent of what our ancestors did for this homeland? We take and give bribes and try to be quiet on injustice going on around us, so its better to be waiting for more curses from Allah the almighty. I also gone through some of the bigger Pakistani blogs than mine, where they were literally cursing the Pakistan ideology, and even our electronic media who brags about Aman ki Asha, when the standard of relation between both the countries are not on the equality basis. Adoption of a new culture is another thing, but in the past, we've read about Mukti Tehreek, in which people were forced to revert back to Hinduism and what I personally feel this is the advanced model of that stale ideology, Aman ki Asha with the expense of the religion on the basis of which partition of South Asia took place, has been put into danger and here we're beating the drums of Aman ki Asha, and that too blindly and without any logic.

Disgusting.....

I don't know how these pathetic politicians get the vote of common people in Pakistan...

It has been 45 minutes since I returned home, and traffic was no doubt on the lower side and all markets were closed but the way our media has been responsible for creating hoax and panic among the commons is pathetic. Although they brag of keeping people well informed, I must admit that but they also responsible for ILL-INFORMING aswell.

Situation at those mentioned areas are under trouble, but the later city is fine, offices were open, people were buying Halwa Poori's and other snacks near my office, I'm sorry to say our media don't portray this aspect of Karachi people instead they show the intensified version of Karachi as the whole city. Is this the way a country's news channel do their jobs? I give example of CNN, they show all is good in the US although those who live there tell us how much the situation intense there, but on the media they're winning the war, because they're more nationalist than us, they give preference to national interest. Unlike on our side of the media where they try to create panic and hoax among the commons so that they can sell their news and news paper, so how can they say they're serving the nation, is this the way media works, or media is the job of responsible people who work with responsibility, because a journalist represents a country as well and so the pride of the country ALSO depends upon them, because these are the person who interact internationally and people believe them blindly.

Take example of this Geo News breaking news stated on their website which states that:

Operation amid curfew decided for Karachi

Updated at: 1510 PST, Wednesday, October 20, 2010
Operation amid curfew decided for Karachi KARACHI: Sindh Home Department decided to launch a search operation amidst curfew in various Karachi areas adversely affected by the target killings, Geo News reported Wednesday.

Home secretary Arif Ahmed Khan presided over a meeting in this regard. The meeting decided to undertake search operation in various badly affected areas after clamping curfew in the areas.

However, the sources said the Pak Army is not being sought to take responsibilities for the purpose.

Meantime, the sources said, the decision is not final, as Sindh Home Minister Zulfiqar Mirza is not in the city.

The sources said the curfew may span a few hours.

The meeting was told that at least 105 people were arrested until October 16 along with 60 arms. And they are being interrogated.

Just see how they're portraying the situation in Karachi although I myself returned home from my office without any hurdle, must say there are some tensioned areas in the city but to portray that to whole of the city is something one must control.

Speaking of one... Our media men + our politicians both playing their dirty games, here Karachi has been under the mess of target killings, I don't wanna open the 1992 dark chapter of Karachi when there was a operation sorta thing in Karachi and many of the people were literally assaulted, and that was the regime when the same government which is in power right now, and so when we compare that time with this so they've been busy plotting this dirty mess and so we as the common people of Karachi are crushing in between the war between the two parties. Can't they think of goods for the city, when they make any decision regarding upgrade of the city, people themselves will attract towards them, but doing dirty things like corruption and lie to their voters and still they get their votes from them, that too without any accountability, we should ask them if we give vote to them, than what they'd be doing? But we don't have the courage because morally we're cowards, and everyone likes to crush cowards...

Media being used!!!

Pakistani media could be used easily by so called terrorist groups, for doing their dirty jobs in Pakistan

Two days ago from today, on Thursday when some good for nothing suicide bombers did their job at the holy shrine of Hazrat Abdullah Shah Ghazi at Clifton. But more importantly the responsibility of our media personnel to be taken at front, again just to break the news quicker than others, they even plotted hoax and panic and in media terms encashed the situation, with completely compromising the national interest which required complete harmony, but something must be done for these people to let them work in some sorta system, else so much power given to illiterate media of Pakistan means, you're at risk of being a laughing stock (which already we've been) globally.

Can't these media men/women see they're BEING USED by the terrorist organizations in Pakistan (don't wanna start the conversation where they hail from though) are using them just to create panic in and outside Pakistan and sending wrong message to abroad for Pakistan! Instead of sending positive things, our media always sends wrong message abroad.

Why supporting such dirty politicians who support dirty politics and when not in power, they praise the media and in return media thinks its a superman sorta thing here, clearly showing their immaturity. Upgrading camera-work, graphics illustration, networking, DOP etc doesn't mean that they are mature. Don't wanna go too back, just at the eve of Air Blue Crash in Islamabad, I was watching couple of news channels that day as it was raining here in Karachi too so net was also somewhat down, so what I saw the difference in coverage of BBC, CNN compared with Pakistani TV, was completely a upside down thing. Pakistani media reports told that that aeroplane arrived from Turkey to Karachi and than Karachi to Islamabad, but half an hour later when I switched on to CNN, they deny this with reference to Air Space Authority of Turkey that none of that brand of Aeroplane left Istanbul for Karachi. Plus Pakistani media were trying to spice up the things by saying that some people were found wounded and were alive, what's the use of breaking such unconfirmed news?

With such immaturity, don't you think any terrorist organization hail from any country would easily create hype and hoax with the help of our so called brilliant media?
