Our Preferences behind the facade of Objectivity

 


Our Preferences behind the facade of Objectivity 

When progressives,socialists and left-wing political parties were critical of undemocratic forces for their intervention in Politics, the proponents of PTI painted it anti-state. When there was a raucous debate about the extension of COAS in the country. The supporters of PTI obfuscated the whole scenario saying "mulk kay azeem tar mafad mein extension deni chahae " 

When people would voice the forced , unlawful Balouch disappearances and demanded their judicial trial.PTI friends would assume " begair reason kay nahi uthatay " 

When folks would stand for freedom of press and media, lambasting the abduction of journalists like Mati ul Jan. The tigers of PTI observed grave silence. 

When socialists throughout the country raised slogans  to bolster student unions and demanded freedom.PTI friends would mock at them saying" kis say azaadi chahae "And then PTI popped up with Azaadi March" 

When PTI marches towards Islamabad, it is a Pakistani march but unfortunately, when other parties do, it is to derail the government by challenging the writ of the state. 

Performance of PTI remained in shambles during its tenure rather a political culture of recrimination, blame game and badmouthing opposition benches was opted.PTI would have focused on policy-making as PTI chairman Imran Khan had pledged on containers. 

We should have the heart to give room to dissenting views coming from any segment, class or community. We need to stop the selective approach and polity. 

PTI should have been allowed to march peacefully and reach Islamabad while exercising its democratic right enshrined in the constitution. State apparatus had not been used. Coercion and violence must not be the last resort. It will result in resentment, chaos and crisis in the country.

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?

Image
  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.
