Whats the use of this massive army operation when the leadership of the Taliban swat chapter has already fled ? why so many civilian casualties ..? who is going to go back to the ghost valley now ?
All these questions are now the main crux and theme of tv talk shows and the opening lines of many notorious journalists’ writings.. the fact is the nations suffer and nations rebuild ..Many had written off Pakistan in the 2005 earthquake as well ..People however still live there, life is still alive and kicking and it will do so insha’Allah .
A particular tinge of sadness tried to make its home in my heart when I read / hear people such as the likes of the Editor News of the Leading private news channels in Pakistan, in his column today he was smart enough to change his old ploy of blaming swat insurgency to that with the revenge stemming from Lal Masjid operation. Today he makes a mix..a one of a kind ..Drawing similarities between Musharraf and Fazullah ..Being a fan of none..I still think it’s a ridiculous comparison..no man is more of a sinner than the one who brainwashes and EXPLOITES people on the basis of his new definition of Islam or any religion. Interestingly people like him get to go live on CNN and BBC as well when ever a news comes from Pakistan..a disturbing one that is ..Why so..Because people like him happen to be the men who run the show for these channels.
Who doesn’t feel the plight and the suffering of the IDPs both in camps and in schools etc. no one with a human heart can deny that these people are doing the most service to Pakistan and are as honorable as the armed forces who are doing all they can to protect the country. But there has been a certain strategy used here as well .in the name of these very people..in 1947 those who migrated to Pakistan didn’t come here so they have better food and shelter , they came here for their ideological reasons as well as to strengthen Pakistan. To compare the life of these people day and night with the luxurious life styles of the elites or the middle class even is no wrong but it should be done in a delicate responsible manner so that it doesn’t instigate and install anti societal emotions amongst them. Inequality , injustice , and segregation of wealth is not a new phenomenon in this country and this actually calls for campaigns like long marches and calls for it to done on a country wide scale. As Jinnah said “ Musalmaan museebat main Ghabraya nahi kartey” ..our brother IDPs should be helped in all possible ways ,both monetarily as well as socially ..but one shouldn’t make them feel thru our flashy media live reporting and reviews that it they are the only ones being discriminated. These people are the most patriotic and most honorable men of the country and their emotional and psychological strength should be as vital to the country as that of strategic assets.
Reports also suggest that Waziristan is going to be the new battle ground, sooner or later..the speculations of Fazullah and his 20 special men living there in the arms of their so called Ameer Baitullah Mehsud are no surprise therefore. The fact of the matter is that one can’t eliminate enemy unless it attacks its BASE or home. This operation is going to be high casualty operation for Pakistan army because of the hardened training of Baituallah‘s men and the size of his force..13000 according to some estimates. The country needs to be united ..Unless that doesn’t happen..no army operations can bring cure to the disease that has engulfed us in.
We are living in an age that witnesses the Fitna of the Highest order..in the Advent of Gog and Magog and the world gearing itself for a possible final show down in the coming decade or so ..Getting hold of truth and only truth ...and seeking it ..is a real challenge.
Amidst all this..the feeling is still good ..And the enemy is still frustrated..thus the chaos ..A nation that comprises of endless unsung heroes in all domains not just for the country but for the society in general. Pakistan will survive..and it will bring the best out of us soon insha’Allah
May Allah bless Pakistan ..Ameen
