Pakistan Day

 


This day drifts us to March 23, 1940 when Pakistan Resolution was passed.Father of the nation the great Quaid e Azam on this day at Minto Park for the first time demanded a saparate country for muslims.

It is pertinent to ask why Quaid e Azam wanted a saparate country ?

The Quaid anticipated that Muslims could not prosper ,propel and live their lives in accordance with their religion and culture in an independent India dominated by the Hindu majority.

He thus demanded a separate homeland for the Muslims where they would be free to practice their religion and follow their culture. This narrative was fully endorsed by Muslims of the Sub-Continent but it was a knee-jerk for Hindu leaders like Nehru ,Gandhi and their protagonists who were not ready to accept the Muslim demands and claimed to be the sole representatives of the Indian population.

On this day, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, with his insight and vision showed to the whole world that he was the only roaring voice of the Muslims of the Sub-Continent.

Allama Muhammad Iqbal, in his address to the Muslim League at Allahabad in 1930, had also demanded a separate homeland for the Muslims. Since then, the idea had touched millions of Muslims and morphed into a strong purpose on March 23, 1940.

Thus, on March 23, we should feel the sanctity of sacrifices our ancestors made for our future. Pakistan came into being when many countries in the world were struggling for independence , some of them faced even civil wars and were at the verge of disintegration.

We should know about the struggle of the Muslims for their right to self-determination and how important it is to safeguard Pakistan’s solidarity and integrity.

This day asks us to cement the forces of cohesion and integration.We should reignite the spirit of the historic Lahore Resolution of 1940 by refreshing the enthusiasm and spirit among us.

I would like to wrap up with this argument.Pakistan with its great potential, overcoming all the significant challenges, is here to stay forever and make tangible and potentially sustainable progress.

Quaid e Azam said and i quote Not a single force on earth can undo Pakistan.

Pakistan Zinda Bad.

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.
