Lesson to Learn

(Muhammad Waseem Abbas, Lahore)

I might have been overly critical to our politicians only in my last article "What is This?". I am sorry for not doing justice to the prevailing issue discussed in the article.

In fact we all are responsible for our balefulness. We all have equally been playing havoc with our homeland. Politicians are not the only responsible of destructibility. Beside politicians there are Martial Laws, or you can say Martial Governments, and also the citizens and inhabitants of Pakistan who played equal role in down-right. Who elected and selected these politicians to come over to rule us and govern our country? Undoubtedly the citizens.

Politics is not my cup of tea. I have no interest in politics. But what compelled me to say something are surely the current scenario of Pakistan politics. As you all know that every one today knows well about politics. So I am also aware of how-knows of this hide and seek game.

Our ancestors sacrificed their lives, their lading and appurtenance, even they sacrificed their veneration, repute and honor to get a separate homeland. It was not a child's play or duck soap to get Pakistan. It was not the end. Even after the creation of Pakistan our parents carried a lot of weight to make it run and appear like a shining star on the map of the world. But, did you ever think seriously, what we did to this beloved estate? We indulged in aisiamentum and podded to doing nothing seriously. Just observe, we cannot even sit in office or at home without Air conditioner. We cannot walk on foot for a little distance. We are waiting for some divine saviour to live happy life. But beware of the fact that life is not a bed of roses. If we want to make a real progress, we have to work restlessly day and night. We need to make a firm determination to make our country ever more powerful, peaceful and prosperous country.

We have been victimized of terrorism for more than decade. Recently Balochistan education minister and PPP leader Shafeeq Ahmed Khan has been shot dead. Before this macabre and eldritch action of terror several other dynamic leaders, political, religious and other, have been threat to death by terrorists. How longer this critical situation will prolong? If our leaders and martial men are not secure from terrorist, how a poor laborer or inerrant student can be?

To pint-size the long talk I want to say that if this deplorable situation persists we will once again lose our freedom and fall back into the lap of slavery. We need to rectify the system, and it is possible only by rectifying our own self individually and collectively. We have to hang together because only synergic actions can make us to break off all the obstacles in the way of progress. So stop blaming each other and lets start with good worth.
