Celebrating
Pakistan Day Confirms National Strength
(Tariq.Mjaved)
General perception is the immature society in Pakistan
remains labelled as the one living with its continuing incapacity to swiftly
reject illogical and irrational acts. More sadly, even the media and the
intellectuals have not been able to effectively discourage the growth of
extremism, ignorance and sectarian violence and the ongoing proxy war with
proven results.
Thanks to Pakistan Military that has freed the
country from the clutches of terrorists. At least, the nation once again looks
confidant and is already in the “gearing up mode” to celebrate the upcoming Pakistan
independence day on August 14th. On this day in 1947, Pakistan became a reality as an independent country, yet the unbearable cost was
sky high, as the damage in terms of lost honour of the violated women and their
murders would remain irreparable forever.
Indeed,
the massive migration, amid widespread communal violence, ethnic
cleansing/genocide, trainloads of slaughtered Muslims and the mercilessly raped
young women, reminds us of the trauma of all those who sacrificed just to give
a comfortable independent land to the new Pakistanis.
Mr Jinnah
particularly emphasised, “You are free to go to your temples; you are free to
go to your mosques or to any other place of worship in this state of Pakistan.
You may belong to any religion or caste or creed – that has nothing to do with
the business of the state.”
In spite of unfavourable economic circumstance and the
unfriendly atmosphere around, the general public all over Pakistan loves celebrating
Independence Day with patriotic zest. Many dress up in green and white, which
are the Pakistani flag’s colours. People visit national monuments and places of
national significance to celebrate Independence Day. Pakistan’s national flag is hoisted on public,
private buildings, residences and monuments at dawn. Government buildings,
including Parliament House. There are fireworks to enjoy.
Pakistan’s Independence Day also pays homage to people
who devoted their lives for Pakistan’s freedom movement and made sacrifices to
attain Pakistan’s independence.
A change of guard takes place at national monuments,
including the mausoleums of Sir Allama Muhammad Iqbal, and Mr Jinnah (supreme
leader)
The
celebration will go ahead as planned despite it’s officially realized that
“militant wings in the garb of political parties were hatching conspiracies
against the ongoing Karachi operation”
In a
statement the paramilitary force’s spokesman also asked the people to inform
the Pakistan Rangers and advised the media to avoid broadcasting unconfirmed
reports.
“Certain
unscrupulous elements, under the garb of political parties running their
militant wings in a desperate attempt have launched a campaign to malign the
Karachi operation,” said the brief statement without mentioning these
‘elements’ and their move which forced the Rangers to issue such a statement.
“These
attempts are meant to create restlessness among the citizens. Karachi operation by the rangers means
the Karachites will be facilitated to celebrate the Independence Day
peacefully.
There is no doubt about the ongoing success of the “Operation
Zarb-e-Azb,” and the fact is the said operation still continues to weed out successfully
all the anti-Pakistan warring factions, specifically the TTP terrorists from
the FATA region.
However, threat to life and property by the foreign
funded terrorism is still a big challenge which is being faced by all concerned
throughout the country.
There is
clear evidence of the foreign involvement in Sind and Baluchistan. The neighbouring
countries that are sponsoring terrorism to disrupt the writ of Pakistan are
documented.
Unfortunately,
the Pak foreign office or the concerned officials have not presented the proxy
war case before the World body.
Pakistan
Day is coming fast, so is the flooding all over - and the reason is the rain
overflow drainage system is all clogged up with sand and the rain water causes
heavy floods .Lack of maintenance by the government is to blame too.
Other
major reason is non construction of Kala bagh dam. Some stubborn politicians
and the locals fail to realize that besides providing irrigation facility and
generating electricity, the KB dam would have the capacity to store the excess running
water flowing to the ocean.
Irony is
when running rivers are normally flowing, there is water theft by the upper
riparian India from the share of lower riparian Pakistan; so this remains one
of the major issues that Pakistan keeps
failing to correct at the UN forum.
Suspicion
is , there is a strategy at work to turn Pakistan into a barren land with no
drinking and irrigation water, hence, making it look like miserable Somalia and
Ethiopia.
Shamefully,
some politicians issue rhetorical statements saying the KB dam will be built
over their dead bodies.
Most
probably, issues like energy crisis have been illegitimately designed by the
anti Pakistan elements with ulterior motives; the stake holders may include
both the locals and the foreigners.
With
respect to the allegations of locally stolen mandate (ballot) and economic
downturn, answer lies only in encouraging a level playing field to reproduce
constructive conscience of the entire nation; that would generate peaceful
atmosphere.
It’s
absolutely necessary to keep paying tribute to those who dedicated their lives
to earn freedom for us. Although the people of Pakistan celebrate the
Independence Day with patriotism, yet they should remember what Jinnah’s dream
was; many among us seem to have forgotten the reason for the formation of
Pakistan.
Fresh
indicators of economic Relief in sight:
Despite
the expected global recession, an economic upturn in Pakistan is on its way. This year, Zarb e Azb has almost concluded
with good results while the Karachi operation is going well, and the Pak China
economic corridor is going as planned. Thus, Pakistan is moving towards its economic recovery faster than expected.
All gains
are a gift for the “Happy Pakistan Day.”
