Every year, people of Pakistan celebrate the 23rdof March as
the Pakistan Day, with great enthusiasm and zeal. But, this time, this very day
has come at a time when Pakistan is facing multiple challenges, which are
worrying all the citizens. While Pakistan’s Armed Forcesare coping with these
challenges successfully.
More than seven months have passed. But, Indian fanatic government led by the
extremist Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s continued lockdown in the Indian
Occupied Kashmir (IOK). While Indian fanatic rulers are also escalating tensions
with Pakistan to divert attention from the drastic situation of the(IOK), and
have continued shelling inside Pakistani side of Kashmir by violating the
ceasefire agreement in relation to the Line of Control (LoC).
Externally, Pakistan’s forces, especially, Pak Army and Rangers have been boldly
responding to India’s unprovoked firing at the LoC.
Meanwhile, the Indian Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 (CAA), passed by the Indian
Parliament further exposed the discriminatory policies of the Modi government.
The CAA coupled with the National Register of Citizens (NRC) is mainly against
the Muslim immigrants especially from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.
Since December 15, 2019, daily mass protests have been taking place across every
state in India against the CAA and the NRC. Despite criticism of the rights
groups, foreign leaders, the UNO and moderate Hindus in wake of violent protests
which resulted into killing of more than 100 persons and injuring 800-mostly
Muslims by the police and fanatic Hindus, Modi-led regime has not withdrawn the
CAA/NRC.
So, in order to divert attention from internal crises, New Delhi can arrange
anotherPulwama-like false flag terror attack in the Indian Held Kashmir to
military adventure against Pakistan.
India’s preplanned drama has been proved even by Indian media on January 12,
this year. In this respect, Indian media disclosed that “Deputy Superintendent (DSP)
Davinder Singh was caught along with two militants, Jammu Kashmir Police (JKP)
on Sunday [January 12]…Davinder Singh was alleged to have been ferrying the
militants from the Shopian area of the Valley. Five grenades and three AK-47
rifles were also recovered from the cop’s residence…DSP was under surveillance
for the past two months over suspicious activities”.
But, Indian intelligence and investigating agencies are hiding the reality about
Davinder Singh and other two militants, which indicate that New Delhi may be
setting a stage for new drama to associate the Police Officer with Pakistan’s
intelligence agencies.
In this connection, Pakistan’s civil and military leadership have repeatedly
warned the international community about India’s another Pulwama-type false flag
operation to involve Islamabad and to conduct another military adventure in the
Pakistani side of Kashmir.
While, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan and Chief of the Army Staff General
QamarJavedBajwa have repeatedly said that Pakistan’s Armed Forces are fully
ready to meet any prospective aggression or invasion by India.
Internally, Pakistan’s Armed Forces and country’s primarily intelligence agency
ISI have successfully broken the backbone of the foreign-backed terrorists.
Peace has been restored in the Balochistan province and Karachi, including other
vulnerable regions.
Despite it, in the recent past, terrorist attacks particularly in theKhyber
Pakhtunkhwa province and Balochistan which is central point of the
China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) show that the CIA-led Indian RAW,
Afghanistan’s intelligence agency National Directorate of Security and Israeli
Mossad are destabilizing Pakistan and want to damage the CPEC project which is
part of China’s One Belt, One Road (OBOR) initiative or BRI, as the US and India
have already opposed this project. Besides, Pakistan is the only nuclear country
in the Islamic World. Therefore, it has become special target of some Western
external entities.
However, it is good development that political parties of the country have come
to terms in order to strengthen institutions of Pakistan, as geo-politics
surrounding the country requires.
In this context,Pakistan’s ruling party Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI),
opposition parties, members of civil societies and military are on one page
regarding Indian prospective aggression.
At this juncture, Pakistan is also facing multi-faceted crises and challenges
like corruption, soaring prices, energy-shortage, unemployment, crimes, lack of
health facilities, and dependence upon the US-led developed countries, IMF and
World Bank for financial aid.
Meanwhile, coronavirus pandemic also named as COVID-19 has affected Pakistan in
wake of country’s fragile economy. In this regard, civil and armyinstitutes are
implementing comprehensive plans for treatment of the patients and to further
stop the spread of this novel virus.
Nevertheless, the 23rd of March 1940 was a watershed in the history of the
Sub-continent, when All India Muslim League passed the Resolution in Lahore for
the creation of an independent state. Now, it is popularly called as Pakistan
Resolution. Earlier, in his address to the Muslim League at Allahabad in 1930,
the idea of a homeland for Muslims in their majority areas had been envisioned
by the poet Allama Sir Muhammad Iqbal, and had become the aspiration of Indian
Muslims.
In fact, the British colonialists in connivance with majority Hindu population
had manipulated and targeted Muslims through every possible way. In that
background, Muslims started struggle for a separate state.
Prior to the Lahore session of Muslim League, Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah
had specified to this historical congregation of the Muslims, the watch-words of
‘Faith, Unity and Discipline’ which were not only necessary for waging the
battle for an independent homeland, but also for present Pakistan. So, while
struggling against the enemies, the essence of these watch-words is unity which
is the real spirit of the Pakistan Resolution.
It was due to the selfless practical unity among the Muslims under the
leadership of Quaid-i-Azam that Pakistan became a tangible reality. But, that
unity started declining after passing through various crises, and the result was
separation of East Pakistan in 1971, as the India manipulated differences
between East Pakistan and the West Pakistan.
At this critical moment, the true spirit of the Pakistan Day demands selfless
national unity among all segments of society.
