Re: Nationalist Pakistanis vs. Mullahs --- War is on!
nationalist pakistani is a very good term. unfortunately there are no advocates of the nationalist pakistani agenda in domestic scene. instead our national discourse is dominated by mullah lovers or by tiny minority of english-medium-types who think nationalism is a four letter world. in no other country on earth you will see such apathy to the killing of law enforcement and army personnel by local or foreign insurgents. sure their is lot wrong with pak but there is no country on earth which is perfect and all third world countries including all countries in our neighbourhood are grappling with the same problems. however our media, especially english press, by constantly emphisising negative news and engaging in conspiracy theory has given our awam the impression that govt is always out to screw citizens.
people who are proud pakistanis have a duty to speak out because the future of our country is at stake. we have to emphasize that time has come to put pakistan first. while i sympathise with the kashmir and palestinian cause, we cant accomplish anything when our country is being weakened from the inside by its very own citizens. we should take the microphone back from mullah lovers. pakistan belongs to all pakistanis including secular and non-religious pakistanis. we should now demand that govt reflect the agenda of all its citizens and not those who now are cheering the death of those people who are giving their lives to defend us.
