One has nothing to offer as an
alternate but to agree with the assertion that what is going on in the tribal
belt, Baluchistan and NWFP are the ripened fruits of the policies of Pervez
Musharaf by providing his shoulders to the modern day pharaoh, USA in the
onslaught against a brother Muslim country Afghanistan.
In the presence of such a huge spending on our security, and having the status
of a responsible nuclear state among the comity of nations, how can one digest
the argument that all that is happenings in our country by anti- Muslims and
anti- Pakistani forces just to destabilize this Muslim country and make it a
Banana Republic by totally squeezing its nuclear capabilities are due to the
lack of resources on our part to counter all these and wipe them out. It cannot
enter our skull that in spite of all such a huge spending our intelligence
institutions can be so slack to differentiate between friends and foes. When
there is the question of any wanted men of the modern day pharaoh they are
active enough to put at stake every thing and hand over them to be torture in
Guntanamo!
But in spite of all this, to our great surprise, all this practice is going on
for the last many years and now it has reached to the provincial capitals of my
native province, Peshawar from which the distance to Islamabad is just a few
hours drive.
When these lines are being written, some stone hearted, sanguinary natured
people have butchered some 28 person, peace negotiators, in Jandola area of
South Waziristan in the presence of such a vast and sophisticated intelligence
machinery.
Really, our is a Banana Republic or our taxes and the price of our heads cashed
from our enemy are being used for only enhancing luxuries for our masters?
On the present sad situation of the motherland the analysis of Ahmad Bilal seems
very appropriate. He says in his articles titled ‘Another Lal Masjid’ (The News
June 23, 2008) “Talking to people about this, I had some interesting
conversations with some of the people who were involved in local politics and
the internal politics of Islamabad. The way they explained it, the CIA gets
money channeled into Pakistan through the ISI. Some of it goes to fund
extremists, some of it goes to eliminate them, and most of it goes into shady
bank accounts. The agencies get their money, the US benefits from the
instability in the region to maintain a military presence here, Musharaf (now
Zardari and Sharif brothers) gets to stay in power by showing his performance in
the war on terror, and the bearded men in white robes think they are doing some
great service to religion by dedicating their lives to militancy. So this was
clearly a win-win situation for all parties, at the expense of the fabric of
Pakistani society”.
If this can be taken as true then the analysis put forward by some of the
Western think tanks that till 2020 a lot of changes will occur in the map of the
South Asia-- and our beloved country is not present in the map of 2025.
Our hearts weep with tears of blood to hear and see all this happenings. All the
judges’ issues, NROs, Abdul Qadeer, War on terror seem to us a journey towards
this fatal end. What to say of brothers in faith to give some advice or come to
our rescue, all the winds are blowing in the opposite directions.
Our enemies have deputed such committed people in our ranks that they even
risked the very existence of this unfortunate country but could not dare say a
single ‘no’ to their every demand.
We were happy at the eve of Feb. 18 that may be our fortune returns and we take
our necks out from the yoke of Pharaoh’s slavery, but he has already tightened
the nooses of the yoke by the threads of NRO and 58-2 B, though on their demands
Pervez Musharaf shunned the uniform cum skin.
What to say of the washed men of NRO or of our self made rulers, the lawyers
could not bear the pressure of the Pharaoh, and prematurely ended their much
awaited Long March and left us in the lurch.
Do there exist any nation in the world where their own resources both human and
logistics are being used for their own destruction? Unfortunately we Pakistani
lead the comity of nations in this regard.
