Re: Letter exchange b/w Salman Ahmed and Bilal Musharraf
What is Salman Ahmed doing for the common Pakistani?
Did he dare to oppose the regimes who banned them and their videos?
Did he dare to oppose the influentials who rape helpless women, steal wealth from the deserving, those who dodge law as a personal hobby?
Why did he never get up and stir his support and opposition against countless social wrongs that exist in Pakistan since forever which directly effect the common man’s life and existence every day much more as compared to a so called dictatorial regime??
Why did he never feel this against any other issue faced by Pakistan and common Pakistanis;**
“staying silent under the present conditions that Pakistan is undergoing, is no longer an option”…?**
Why was/is **“staying silent under the present conditions that Pakistan is undergoing, is no longer an option” **not an option for him and many like him, when feudals wrong helpless commoners.

22 peasants freed from landlord’s ‘prison’
Or when political figures defy rules, oppress common ppl. Or when terrorists terrorize localities, kill, bomb, extort…?
Ppl like him and even Imran Khan could be much better off if they started at that level and actualy delivered in areas where their support is, and could build up more, before taking on the national govt issues or having over ambitous dreams about being something big and important without actually doing anything significant or worthwhile for the common Pakistanis who matter most at the end of the day. Yes Imran is a legend when it comes to his SKMH, but standing up for the wronged, deprived, supprting them against oppression and protesting for their well being and rights is what matters. Right now all protests translate to ‘Go Mush Go’, ‘Come BB come’, ‘Come CJ come’, ‘Come Geo come’, ‘Come Nawaz Come’. I’m afraid that’s either hypocrisy, blatant selfishness or perhaps inability to perceive beyond.
At least he is not throwing people in jail just because they don’t agree with him
He is not destroying a whole institution just so that he could retain power.
He is not using the terrorist card to stay in power.
