Thinking for sometime to
put my thoughts in writing on one of the major issues of the society, but
was delayed due to laziness or due to shortage of time to be appropriate.
Putting behind all the delays, today I have picked up my pen with great
grief and sadness to write on a topic which when seen or heard breaks the
heart into pieces and lowers the eyes into tears of shame thinking that the
issue can somehow be changed.
We have not seen Pakistan being established, but surely had heard it from
our ancestors about the tough time they faced had and with what difficulty
it came into existence. How many valuable and precious lives had been lost
in the process and how everyone had left their personal belongings and
valuable assets behind and migrated to Pakistan .
It is really important to keep in mind that any nation, city or even
villages for that matter, do not come into existence without striving for it
and as an extension, it is even harder to make yourself accepted by other
nations.
It would be more appropriate to say that you have to feed your blood to the
earth; “Striving throughout your lifetime” and that is exactly what the
proud people of Pakistan had done. Paying a souvenir of their blood, loved
ones and property, this nation came into being. |

Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali
Jinnah, the father and founder of Pakistan had done an immense favor for the
Muslims of Pakistan as being the only man who with a new vision and mission
strived and gave up his life striving for other nations to recognize and
accept Pakistan as a separate state. The great man strived for a separate
nation for the Muslims, a nation for the Muslims that can be recognized, and
he, along with his associates succeeded in his vision.
Hiding from his illness, Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah moved on in the
most passionate way creating an instinct and love for the new nation as he
was aware that if the British and the Hindus get the slightest glimpse of
the vision, they will try their level best to create hurdles in the
formation of Pakistan. |

Finally, due to all the
hard work, strivings and the loss of precious lives, Pakistan came into
existence on 14th August 1947.
Fighting from illness, the father and the founder of Pakistan passed away in
the following year of independence on 11th September 1948 leaving behind the
perishable world. The tomb of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah was created
outside the boundary of the city of Karachi, but due to the rapid increase
in population, it lies in the center of Karachi today.
Whenever I pass from near the tomb, I raise my hand and salute with respect
to this Mujahid as if it would not have been for this freedom fighter, we
would have still been recognized as the second minority in Hindustan (India)
and every second would have been realizing this bitter truth of living a
life of living dead. There are millions of people like me who live in
Karachi and pass daily through the road of Sharah-e-Quaideen, but I would
particularly like to highlight those people who pass from there during the
time span of 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m.
The total duration of passing this entire way takes approximately 7 seconds,
and now these daily 7 seconds have turned out giving me intense shame and
pain and may be there are many other people who feel the same way as I do,
but they are silent - but now as a responsible citizen it is time to break
the ice or else------. |

On this passage, students
of various schools and colleges Date along the boundaries of the tomb. It
seems that it has turned out to be a uniform that the females standing are
mostly found in black gowns (Abayah) with their faces half covered and males
are casually dressed. Where ever the eye reaches on a vast scale, these
couples are found dating and goofing around and this has turned out to be a
source of amusement for the guardians of the tomb on duty. There is no sign
of police or any force for that matter neither for the protective measure
nor to acknowledge the couples to stop such activities in public places.
Maybe, after reading this article, the readers may very well understand that
what type of place does the view illustrate, and by thinking this, my heart
sheds tears of blood. It takes only 7 seconds for the view to get vanished
from the eyes but these 7 seconds break me up from the inside. There are
some thoughts in ones mind which are still awaited to be solved, which
breaks a true Pakistani up from inside:
• Did Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah make a separate nation for the
Muslims (Pakistan) for this purpose that the future of Pakistan (children)
Date around instead of studying and preserving their future, and that too,
in and around the boundaries of his tomb?
• Did millions of freedom fighters (shaheeds) give up their valuable lives
for this purpose only?
• Did the women, girls and children give up their lives so that 65 years
later, their successors would be doing these types of deeds?
As an extension to the context, a very unexpected and shameful act passed
from the sight and came to the public’s knowledge which took place at the
exact same spot as mentioned above and was considerably taken to a higher
level. |

The people that were
involved in this dreadful act were none other than the guardians of the
tomb; after this, what can be thought, said and expected.
A woman was
hostage to an internal room at gunpoint and she was brutally engaged in a
terrifying and dreadful act (gang rape), after which she was thrown out of
the tomb’s boundaries restlessly. |

Is there no law left in the
country? Will anyone do anything what he feels like without restriction?
I, with most gratitude would like to request and demand President of
Pakistan, Prime Minister of Pakistan, Chief Minister of Sindh, Governor of
Sindh and City Nazim to take an immediate notice and a strict action towards
these shameful acts. I would also like to request all the parents to open
their eyes and to keep an eagle’s eye on their children as they leave home
for schools and colleges to seek knowledge, but end up in a public places
doing illegal and unethical acts.
Today, the whole nation is struggling and everyone has an eye on the future
of Pakistan (children), and may be a child would emerge who would do
something for the betterment of the nation and make the existence of
Pakistan shine. But, as per current situation, it seems difficult as our
successors are furiously adapting to the culture of Indian and Western
trends.
WHO BY THIS TIME HAD FORGOTTEN THAT WE ARE MUSLIMS………… |
