"Mera Jism Meri Merzi and Aurat March"


A term coined in "Aurat March 2019" against Patriarchy in Pakistan.The slogan raised has been misinterpreted by psuedo intellectuals ,who are often seen on social and electronic media stigmatizing woman's role and intersectionality.

The overwhelmed feelings of chauvinist men of conservative society of ours are hurted ,their chest thumping ego plummeted as they opinionate and confine the slogan to sexual whims of women however it is broad if thought out of box.The problem is patriarchal men dont even know what is inside the box.

To construe : this slogan embodies the will of women to work and utilise her phsyical strengthen in accordance with her desires.It is a NO to men who thinks women a commodity not an entity of a progressive society.It is to warn man not to throw acid on her if she rejects him.An alert not to marry anyone against her choice.A red light to a Rapist.Mera jism meri merzi is ok with a man who dresses,shaves,cut his hair as per his wishes so why is it an issue with a woman ?

The backlash witnessed on social/electronic media by proponents of Khalil ur Rehman against Marvi Sirmad authenticates women to be domesticated.Though Marvi intervened him in the liveshow following her legacy which was against decorum and ethics yet the way Khalil commented on her physical oreination and appearance represents how helpless women are if they lack a perfect figure or women are ought to be insulted and disrespected if they voice their silence.

Some of the pages made Khalil as vigilante and carte blanche to badmouth women whatever he thinks which is another low.We need to understand women need room and space being wife ,daughter ,mother and sister.Men cant shoved down the perceptions of theirs' down her throat against her will.She knows her limits far better.

For the folks going mad every now and then,have a glimpse of our society where honor killings have soared,wage gap is increasing,gender inequality in education,health sector is considered normal.Child abuse,rapes are either not reported or ignored.In such a situation Aurat March is a dire need of time.Moreover it has been allowed by Supreme Court under article 25 and 26.Being antithetic is directly contempt of court.

To supress women behind the facade of religion must be criticized openly.Gratitude to those who are up against scared macho-men of our society.

The Gilgit-Baltistan’s Conundrum

Image
  The residents of ill-fated Gilgit could easily hear hovering helicopters , the loud music, and echoing slogans raised during parade rehearsal and witness the VIP movement on Shahrah e Quaid e Azam Gilgit before 1 November; the Independence Day of Gilgit-Baltistan. This day drifts us away to the liberation war of Gilgit-Baltistan when stout-hearted people of the difficult terrain liberated their land from the Dogra rule, governed the area as an Independent State for some days, and later joined Pakistan by choice in 1947.  The unfortunate, patriotic pro-Pakistan people celebrated 14 August with enthusiasm and fervor and are now preparing to celebrate the Independence Day of Gilgit-Baltistan with pomp and show.  The government officials and demagogues are going to deliver speeches to glorify the freedom fighters.They will lay wreaths on their graves to pay homage to their bravery and valor against the adversary.  Thanks to the Federation that it validates the sacrific...

Who is holding the spectre of Taliban in Gilgit-Baltistan?

  US withdrew from Afghanistan in dark in accordance with it's foreign policy to exit 20 years of war, which it started to avenge 9/11 attack.The americans deliberately left heavy ammunition and weaponry behind to further aggravate the situation. As of now the fate of Aghanis is in the hands of war-lords and various Taliban factions.The recent developments suggest Afghanistan is advancing towards Civil war because most of the areas have been controlled by Talibans.Moreover Talibans are also striving hard to create unrest near Tajikistan's border along durand line. It may be anticipated that the northern part of Pakistan i.e Gilgit-Baltistan could also suffer from the ongoing outrage because one of cults of Taliban released a video of an open Kachery held in Babusar area.The spokesperson floated few of the concerns. The commander while reading a script also discussed about a deal finalised with echelons and political leadership of Gilgit-Baltistan in 2019 that means someone a...

Justice for Adiba

Image
Bride Adiba was strangled to death by in-laws in Shimshal,Gilgit-Baltistan.The body was left on river-bank.Though FIR was registered ,murderers were apprehended yet they were released on bail.This exposes our rotten justice system.Hence the threat posed to lives of women by domestic violence can't be condoned.  How could in-laws kill the newly wed bride ,wrapped the body in the blanket ,left in open and painted it as suicide. This case should thoroughly be looked into.Shame on those men and women who are involved in her murder.  Daughters are wed with a dream that they will live happily and become torch bearers of up coming generation being the first and primary institution BUT who knows that they will be choked to death like #Adiba by in-laws.  Raise your voice against domestic violence before it's too late. No one deserves to be killed this way.This is murder in cold blood.
