Re: 27 killed as violence spreads in Karachi
“Altaf asks people to buy one-month ration” -Geo News
This was the head-line of many news channel Last night after 1:00 AM. It surely did create chaos and tension among people, that why Hussain has asked us to buy one month ration? Are things going to get worse? Is he declaring war? How does this going to help any of us?
Many would say “**He is doing this (whatever he plans) for our own good.”, “Karach’s situation is getting worse day by day”.. So on and so forth. Different people different opinions . But what left me wondering was another statement of Hussain stating “Altaf said they would prefer to die honorably rather to live a humiliated life. He warned people to be ready mentally and physically for THIS.” **-Geo News. What I really want to know is what is “This”? What is he actually referring to?
**Looking back at what happened back in 1992, I really don’t know what was it I was barely a year old. But from what my Parents told me it was like as if All-Hell-broke-loose. Reason? “PATHAN-MAHAJIR FASADAT”. Are we on verge of that terrible time again?
**I am not a Pro-MQM or Pro-whatever party. I am a Pakistani! What bothers me the most is those who vote for their respective parties and give them their mandate. Do they sign-up their selves for all of this? Looting of property, target killing, belongings burnt to ashes? Do they? DO they really vote for all of this? HELL NO!
When you vote. Do you sign-up yourself for all of this?
Most of the people will agree that they really don’t have a choice when it comes to voting. In Pakistan every city and even areas with in the cities have been wisely distributed (as it seems) to the party people creating their monopoly No matter what your decision is . whom you want to vote. It doesn’t matter. None of us is really sure that “If their vote is being counted?”
This article is my request to all of those who have voted from quite a time, or who have registered their self recently to vote. PLEASE! Choose wisely. It’s about time that we all should realise that our ethnicity, our language, our cast, our maslak/firqa shouldn’t influence our decision while voting. No matter if you are Mahajjir or Pathan. Sindhi or Balochi. Shia or Sunni. It shouldn’t influence your decision of VOTING!
What we are not realising is that these politicians have divided us by using the tools of ethnicity cast, language issues. Are all these issues above being Pakistani??
My heart cries when I hear about the brutal killing of innocents, looting and burning of properties. What the hell is all of this about? Not to forget those who are laying dead are also our brother and those who are killing them are our brother too.. I don’t know why they are doing all this. Is it about party loyalty? Is party loyalism is above being Human?
It’s about time that we realise that none of the political party is working for us. If they would have, we wouldn’t have relied on international aid. Our loved ones would’ve been still with us. It wouldn’t be any politician ever to bring change. It will always be people. It will always be us. For god sake! Open your eyes and come to term with the reality “THEY ARE NO QUAID-E-AZAM!!!” They will never be like him. But we are definitely those who fought for the establishment of Pakistan. We can still strive to attain what our ancestors fought for.
**We need one slogan! Believe in One identity. One ethnicity.. Be Pakistani. Think like one. Your decision counts.
Forget “Jiye Bhutto” or “Hum na hoon hamare baad –Altaf” or what ever slogans you utter.. ITS TIME!
We need one slogan! Believe in One identity. One ethnicity (if there is any).. Be Pakistani.
**Think like one. Your decision counts.
In the end I am going to leave you all with this Poetry of Ahmad Faraz.. This is going to haunt your mind for days.
