Have we lost our true colors?

Well by looking at the title you would probably be thinking of our cultural colors, that we have lost our culture due to modern age it's not that, well it is and it will be discussed later on. I am talking about the colors of our national flag well you know( do you?) green and white with a star and a crescent. Ever wondered why these colors were chosen not others and by whom probably not because if we did it wouldn't be hanging on flag pole while its raining or hanging till its totaled or it wouldn't be hanged upside down in front of a house.

Lets have a look at the history shall we, well their is a controversy about who designed the national flag, some people say it was designed by Syed Amir uddin Khidwaii while others believe it was designed by Quaid-e-Azam himself. The flag is associated with the flag used by All-India Muslim league which was as an emblem of of its aim, achieving an independent state for Muslims and was adopted by the Constituent Assembly on August 11, 1947,just days before independence. The flag is referred to in the national anthem as Parcham-e-Sitāra-o-Hilāl in Urdu(lit. Flag of the Crescent and Star). The flag comprises a dark green field, representing the Muslim majority of Pakistan,with a vertical white stripe in the hoist,representing religious minorities.In the center is a white crescent moon, representing progress and a white five-pointed star representing light and knowledge.The flag symbolizes Pakistan's commitment to Islam, the Islamic world, and the rights of religious minorities.
Normally, such things are not a part of syllabus of students but it should be(I mean it). Here is something else we are not familiar with ETIQUETTE( see I knew you didn't knew about it ha!).

Etiquette in Pakistan Flag display

Hoist - the act or function of raising the Pakistan flag, as on a rope
Half Staff or Half Mast - the Pakistan flag is hoisted to half of the potential height of the flag pole to denote grief and mourning
Performed by first raising the Pakistan flag to the top, then lowering the Pakistan Flag halfway
Distress - denoted by flying the Pakistan flag upside-down
Manner of hoisting - The Pakistan flag should be hoisted briskly and lowered ceremoniously
No disrespect should be shown to the Pakistan flag
The Pakistan flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit the Flag to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way
The Pakistan flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing on the flag of any nature
The Pakistan flag should be hoisted first and lowered last
International Flag relating to Pakistan Flag usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace.

Here they are ETIQUETTE. I know you would be thinking whats the use of such ETIQUETTE for a 'flag' but ladies and gentle its not a flag it our representation as a nation and when one can't respect his flag how can we become one nation as Quaid dreamed we would be(Its not really difficult you know). Please leave your comments and feedback beneath and if find this article helpful please do share.

Zulfiaqr Mirza's press conference

2011-08-30T08:41:00.000-07:00

Ladies and gentlemen, today in my first blog I will be discussing the major claims made by Zulfiqar Mirza ex-minister Sindh. He stated that parties protected by the United States and United Kingdom had bypassed his ministry and released convicted Killers and rapist. He stated "If you free a killer convicted of killing 36 people, he will kill 360 people for you if you free him...I cant stand by and watch this . He further stated MQM chief Altaf Hussain had told him that America and world powers had decided to break up Pakistan and Altaf Hussain had supported their idea.He added that he had moved 20 men – ten of whom were facing the death penalty and ten facing life imprisonment – out of prisons in Karachi to prevent them from running criminal networks from behind bars, but that this effort was foiled by Sindh Governor Ishratul Ebad Khan of the MQM,a party run from the United Kingdom, who brought them back to Karachi . He added that 25 ‘known’ target killers were released from jail.

Now, Mr Zulfiqar Mirza was a nobody in Benazir's era,he rose to popularity in Zardari's era who also happens to be his childhood friend. Keeping that in mind this could have been preplanned but he took an oath under Holy Quran for what he is about to say is nothing but the truth.

UK and USA have been involved in many activities in Pakistan which are unknown to common people. According to the statement made by Mr.Mirza that UK and USA protected parties has released killers bypassing his ministry. This is linked to his statement that USA and all the super powers have decided to break Pakistan because now those convicted killers are causing meyham in Karachi and they are paid and protected by the super powers to do what they are best at, killing people. Wake up people silence no more, just so you know India is also involved.
Altaf Hussain is a terroist involved in the target killing of Karachi as well as other political parties are. He is coward who makes decision and statements of Pakistan while he doesn't even lives in it. Altaf has been admitted to a hospital while he was trying to goto USA today after the Mirza's statements. I have no doubt about it that he is involved with the super powers to conspire against Pakistan because he is a traator he should have been killed in the in the fox operation in 1992. The reason would be that he has been promised a lot of money and a lot more for his involvement.MQM it self is I would say a terrorist organization because we must not forget that Governer Sindh Ishrat-ul-Ibad released convicted killers. On what charges did he release those killers? No body dares to ask him? Well people if Quaid was afraid of the British and the Hindus Pakistan would not come have come into existence, rise and speak you are the citizen of Pakistan, you have rights use before its to late.

Save Pakistan

Have we lost our true colors?
