Man is born free by nature, whether personal freedom or religion. Allah has created him free and he intends that he should remain free. Like India, Pakistan achieved independence from British rule on August 14th, 1947, the former day celebrated annually as Independence Day. Muslims travelled to Pakistan; Sikhs and Hindus to India. Up to a million of these refugees were killed in a series of horrific massacres in the border regions. Some of the worst atrocities took place in the Indian Punjab where thousands of Muslims were killed including men, women, and children. The earth has been stained with the blood of more than 1 million martyrs, in which neither the children nor the elderly were pardoned at the time of migration. However, the people of Pakistan have forgotten those who sacrificed for the freedom of Pakistan.
We all know the current unstable political, economic, and internal /external affairs situation in Pakistan. If you look at the history of Pakistan, it is known that since the establishment of Pakistan in 1947 till now, it has failed to establish a political system in this country. Assemblies were empowered but unfortunately, there was a failure in the political and democratic culture in Pakistan as a result of which the political parties remained very weak and self-interested thus giving opportunities to the military generals to run the affairs of the queen. Not only this, but President Ayub also imposed the first martial law in the country in 1958 and gave the nation the gift of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. It is not hidden from anyone, after 24 years in 1971, due to internal and external conspiracies one part of Pakistan was separated as Bangla Dash. Another Martial Law by Zia ul Haq brought Nawaz Sharif into politics. These two families became the fate of Pakistani politics. We are all aware of the ways how these two families dug the roots of the country. 77 years have passed since the liberation of Pakistan, a dream that Allama Iqbal saw, nurtured by Quaid-i-Azam, and came into existence after a history of bloody migration. Those who take turns of power are proudly stealing the Constitution and the law is their slave. The Supreme Court is the biggest in the country which is insulted on many issues.
Just think, is this the same region for which bloody history was written? Every day the judiciary is slapped in the face in some way or the other whether it is the elections or any other matter.
Pakistan’s February 8 general elections were plagued by a nationwide mobile internet shutdown on election day, arrests and violence during the lead-up, and unusually delayed results. These issues led to widespread accusations that the vote had been rigged.
There are allegations of manipulating elections and political appointments and using institutions to target opponents. The government targeted and tortured opposition leaders and workers. Restrictions on freedom of speech, press, and opposition leaders and journalists facing arrests and intimidation. The poor and middle class are disproportionately crushed by inflation and unemployment. Allegations of using institutions like the judiciary, NAB, and the Election Commission are part of governance. There are human rights violations, including enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and torture.
The people of Pakistan are tired of seeing the judgments of the courts and feeling rejected. The corrupted previous governments erased the distinction between good and bad. A culture has been developed that believes that Might is right. The majority focus is to earn more money in the least time without distinguishing between halal and haram because this was the mission of rulers and their followers.
We overseas Pakistanis send money from abroad to support the economy of the country, but the situation of the people living there is strange. They cry about inflation, but, food in fashionable restaurants, weddings, and other events, there is a race of wasteful spending of money. What damage was done by educated and rich people to Pakistan is considerable. We are also among them. We are using our skills in the Middle East, Europe, and North America, However, It is also a fact that a large part of the income earned by immigrants is in driving the economy of Pakistan. Inflation is an international issue. We in Canada also facing an increase in taxes, in all areas with no increase in people’s salaries. But people are not protesting on the streets and breaking their own country’s property and goods, nor are the anchors on the media shouting about inflation to add fuel to the fire. Dear Pakistanis!!! Appreciate your freedom and don’t invite the wrath of Allah by being ungrateful. Now let’s see where Pakistan will stand by next August 14.
This is the dawn of the night
