A man who dreamed for a
separate homeland for the Muslims living in the sub-continent together and
adopting their lifestyle, their rituals and even their religion too. Muslims
were losing their identity and were living under the foot of Hindus and British.
A man who took the stand and fought for a new homeland for the Muslims, where
they can live separately and live their lives according to the teaching of
Islam. Yes, I am talking about our leader, our visionary, our father – Mr.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah, commonly known as Quaid-e-Azam.
Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah was born on 25th December, 1876 in Karachi when
it was a British Raj over here. He became Lawyer and then become a Politician.
He joined Indian National Congress and then joined All-India Muslim League in
1913 and represents Muslims and asked for a separate nation for Muslims. After a
long struggle, Jinnah succeeds in what he struggled for. Pakistan came into
being on 14th August, 1947, a separate identity for Muslims. Just after a year,
Mr. Jinnah lost his life and leaves us alone with his visions and his
disciplines. A great day or mourning it was. We were an under-developed country,
which just got independence from Hindus and British, and now we lost our
visionary, or father too. Nothing could be worse than this.
Today, it is our visionary’s birthday, 25th December 2015. Many years have been
passed away, many politicians came and go, but no one had a single glimpse of
Mr. Jinnah. I still think that is it what Jinnah wanted? Did we become what
Jinnah asks us to be? After asking such questions, I just put my head down and
ignore my thought. But today, I have something to share with Mr. Jinnah.
Dear Jinnah, i am sorry that we couldn’t be able to fulfill your dream. I am
sorry for not becoming the nation you wanted us to be. Jinnah, I have a lot to
share with you but I am short of words. Jinnah, you asked us to live together,
but we are living separately. We don’t care about anyone else. We become so
selfish. You made policies for minorities in this country, but Jinnah we are
ashamed that we burned down those Christians without taking care of law when
some of our people find them robbing the household. Mr. Jinnah, we also lost our
assets, our future doctors, our future engineers, who can lead our country
towards the bright shining future, yes I am talking about Army Public School’s
attack, where dozens of innocent children lost their precious lives, and you
know why? Because we couldn’t be able to protect them. If I tell you why we
didn’t protect them, it is because the protection of so called politicians in
this country means a lot more than the innocent’s lives. The same case was seen
when a little innocent princess Bisma, lost her life in the arms of his father
when he was not allowed to go into the hospital because of the protocol Mr.
Bilawal Bhutto was getting. When media raised the question about it, Mr. Nisar
Khoro was found answering that “Mr. Bilawal Bhutto’s life is more important.”
There is a lot to tell you Mr. Jinnah, but I know we will be living like the
same in the next year too. You were the one who can change us, who can lead us
towards success, but look at the fortune, you left too. Jinnah, I know you would
cries a river if you could look at our condition. I hope our situation
transforms quickly and next year when I talk to you, I can come up with some
good news. Take care Mr. Jinnah. Happy Birthday to you.
