Where’s the Quaid-e- Azam’s Pakistan
A - Haq. London
For the last 65 years, eyes are searching for the country of the Quaid, for
which the true nationalists dreamt of-for which the people had sacrificed their
precious lives like something to be offered as in alms. For which the innocent
people had quitted their homes, shelters and properties overlooking all forms
of wealth and amenities. They had come out penniless and shelter-less. They had
come out to salute their homeland. But, is it because their eyes have a sore or
the age problem that the fresh-looking beautiful Pakistan of their dreams
appears nowhere in front of their eyes. Where is the Pakistan of our dear
Quaid, which had been passed on to us to live in peacefully and to be
safe-guarded by us?
Perhaps no ruler of the country will ever be able to face those victims on
the Day of Judgement who had spent all their life to carve out a pure-land
‘Pakistan’. What did their progeny got? --- A bullet to be killed? Or yet got
dearness and hunger to live on? It was there all ready in the united
sub-continent. At that time it was better perhaps to be martyred by a Sikh or a
Hindu or a Christian. They were declared a martyred. But now a ‘dog’ can be
proclaimed by a so-called Mullah to be martyred instead of a Muslim. Now the
public is being killed like the ‘death of a dog’ and the dog ‘a death of a
Muslim’. In the Hindi movies we were usually surprised to see Hindus being
declared as martyred, but the time of those thoughts are over. Now it is a
Mullah who in a fit of unthinking, has declared that a dog if killed by America
is also a martyr.
O my Quaid-e-Azam what should I tell,
How is your dream homeland?
It’s so terrible!!!
Establishing a country and making benefit of the country (looting the
exchequer) are diametrically apart, but unluckily we have got such rulers who
come for corruption or start corruption the moment they step into the corridors
of power. The entire country is bruised and bleeding. The birthplace of the
Quaid has been turned into the altar where bloodshed is frequent. Killings,
fire, hunger and loot and terrorism are the order of the day. The value of the
life of a Muslim is above price, but not it has become priceless. Today a
bullet equals his price perhaps. Is this the two-Nation Theory for which the country
was established--to make it a slogan for mockery later- the country of the
haves and have-nots and of powerful and the powerless.
Every other day Muslims are being killed by the so-called Muslims. These
hungry and thirsty souls are confused whether it is martyrdom or the unlawful
and unethical killing. My analysis, my thinking and my power of decision and
rationality have come to an end. My experiences and my learning and education
have stopped helping me to find out clues to this panicle. Ages have passed
struggling and striving, with boils in the feet and watchful eyes seeing the
new generation wasted and worn, but still there are no signs of the freedom to
the innocent and repeatedly victimised public of which they were shown the
dream years ago.
