SLAP TO WHOM?
(Manzoor Hussain Rajper, Khairpur Mirs)
I don’t have words to regret
the act of Syeda Waheeda Shah in by-election in PS-53 Tando Muhammad Khan, on
25th February 2012. Everybody was shocked by the brutal act of lady contesting.
The contemptible act was among the initial attention getters of 2012 in
Pakistan.
If the analysts will consider on this event they will certainly find out that it
was not a slap to Poor School Teachers who were appointed as presiding officers
but instead it was a slap to the destiny of those people living in the territory
of such ruthless people. It was not a slap of Waheeda Shah instead it was a slap
of thinking of some feudalists and people belonging to the same category who get
their selves elected by any means possible. In other words, act of slap does the
good representation of the thinking of most of those MPAs/MNAs who are present
in the Parliament and assemblies. If this is not so then, how many MPAs/MNAs
regret the event? Yes, there were some who regretted it but how many of those
were not Hippocratic?
It was better for PPP to disown the act of Waheeda Shah and regret the event
because it has unfortunately brought a plus to the negative side of it. It was
good opportunity for them to make better their shape by separating out the Black
sheep.
Thanks to Media which showed the original picture of the people going in
assemblies. But, the responsibility of media does not end over here it has yet
to be established. It has yet to work to be unbiased. It should also show the
other segments of country where use of gunpoint, coercion and other different
types of threats are made in such occasions.
The role of ECP and CJP is also commendable. Because, CJP took the sou moto
action which helped out to highlight effectively the worst act of woman. ECP
also done a good job, as Waheeda Shah has since been slapped back by being
disqualified for two years by the Election Commission of Pakistan. This is good
example for evils.
Sometimes, I wonder that how bravely Syeda Waheeda Shah committed the act. Well
whatsoever, Nature presented the Waheeda Shah as an example and warned those
forces who have been cruel to his creature that be sensible before you are
caught red handed and will be running saving face.
