Pakistan – before and after the election
February 10, 2008The upcoming parliamentary elections in Pakistan scheduled for February 18 seems to be first ever bloodiest experience in the history of the nation as not only the nationalist party saw its supporters bathed in pools of blood but the country’s most popular and the largest political party leader Benazir Bhutto was also sent heaven after addressing a rally in Rawalpindi on Dec 27.
However, her tragic death, which not only shocked the nation but the entire world as well, could not overshadow the brutalities meted out to the political workers in Karachi, Rawalpindi and Charsadda.
Breaking News or Sad News?
July 30, 2007We, Pashtoons, are the most affected people who have suffered both terrorism and the war on terrorism. And, as I have explained in the petition, it is our media which is giving coverage to the terrorist and extremist activities which not only defame our culture and history, but also pushes us into war with the rest of the world. So our media should change its trends of giving coverage to the activities of extremist elements.
In the first step, the media can give coverage to the acts of the terrorists in such manner which also condemn them and their acts. And then the terms should be changed like a suicide attack and bomb blast should be not aired / published as BREAKING NEWS but as SAD NEWS. It’ll discarriage the terrorists. Instead of terrorist acts, media should highlight political efforts.
Militants’ gift to Afghan women
June 15, 2007Yesterday hundreds of Afghan women in Kandahar condemned the killing of civilian people in bomb blasts and suicide attacks. In the end of the rally, they requested the militants with tears in their eyes, “please, please dont kill our children”.
The militants responded with a suicide in Orozgan province today which, according to media reports, killed six innocent children and wounded four.
The militants can give only one gift to the Afghan women: kill them and their children.
Gen. Musharraf says that the killer militants are Pashtoons. I ask how they are Pashtoon? A Pashtoon forgive his enemies on the enemies’ women request. Now Afghan women beg their children’s lives and they kill them. A Pashtoon will never do this!
Bombs started to take bribe!
May 18, 2007Tow suicide bobm blasts in Peshawar, known as the city of flowers, killed more than fifty and wounded more than one hundred innocent poor people.
It is similar in Afghanistan, where the bomb blasts kill only poor Afghans.
There is a Hiko on this situation written by Lal Zada Sagir, which says:
Watan ke zay pa zay bamoona khlas sho
Wazhni ghareeb maldar ta hees na wayee
Bamoona ham rishwat khwara sho jorey
(Translation)
There are bomb blasts in every corner of the country = Only poor people are killed in these blasts and the rich are safe = I think the bombs also started to take bribe.
Killing of civilian people for Sharia and Democracy
April 18, 2007According to a latest report by Human Rights Watch, more than 660 civilians were killed by insurgents last year in Afghanistan.
Although, the target of most of the explosions and sucicide attacks were military positions, majority of the people suffered were civilians.
On the other hand, NATO and Colaition forces also targeted bombed and fired civilians on many occasions.
What is the motive of these killings? Insurgents are killing people for “Sharia” and NATO is killing them for “Democracy”.
Which kind of Sharia and Democracy do they want to impose upon us? And why they need civilian blood for this purpose?
The question is unanswerable as both of them have their own ‘hidden’ agendas.
Khost meeting condemns suicide attacks
March 2, 2007KHOST (afghanislamicpress.com): Participants of a public meeting here on Thursday (March 1) condemned suicide attacks and alleged that the attackers cross into Afghanistan from Pakistan.
Pakistan always rejected these allegations. The public meeting was held at Khost stadium and attended by about 2000 people from all walks of life including local officials, tribal elders and clerics.
The gathering was addressed by Governor Khost, Arsala Jamal, head of Mujahideen Shura, Maulvi Sardar Khan, tribal elder, Amir Zaman Sabri, religious scholar, Maulvi Muhammad Aqil and several other people. The meeting also passed a resolution carrying the following points.
1) We condemn and consider suicide attacks against Islam and the country.
2) Sources of instability are outside the country and suicide attackers enter into Afghanistan from the neighbouring country.
3) The world should take immediate steps for the solution of the insecurity and the terrorists’ problems should be resolved outside the country where it exists.
4) We condemn and consider the statements of Baluchistan and NWFP province of Pakistan that Pakhuns are supporting Taliban and the Taliban war is turning into a freedom war, as far from reality and an interference into Afghanistan’s internal affairs.
5) We do not accept the mining and fencing of Durand Line.
6) Reconstruction projects are very slow in Khost province, therefore, it should be expedited.
7) Corruption should be stopped in government departments and able people would be appointed.
8) Attention should be focused on religious schools so Afghans should get religious education inside the country and may not go to other countries.
9) The performance of National Reconciliation Commission is not satisfactory. It needs to be improved and play vital role in reconciliation with opponents.
It is to be mentioned here that rising suicide attacks have spread a wave of fear among the people and it was not the first time that these attacks are condemned in public meeting in Khost.
Suicide attacks were also condemned in different meetings and pamphlets were also spread in Khost in the past.
Afghan officials at numerous occasions alleged that terrorists and suicide attackers cross into Afghanistan from Pakistan. Pakistan, at each occasion dismissed these allegations.
