We are the problem and none else

Asif Haroon Raja

 

Pakistan suffers from multiple ailments. None care to carry out an appraisal as to what is wrong with Pakistan and why Pakistan is perpetually sick and not getting cured. Over a period of time, we seem to have lost our direction and have gone astray. The society as a whole is sunk in the pool of moral degeneration. High morals, principles, ethics, values, respect, brotherhood, affections and honesty are all stories of the past. Lies, deception, crookery, thuggery and corruption have become norms. Majority has chosen dishonesty as a way of life. In the past these traits were mostly found among the elites but now these have permeated down to the lowest class of people. All prefer to live in hypocrisy, mendacity, and squalor. People are averse to speaking the truth since telling the truth requires courage and character. Afraid of consequences, we go the easy way and in the process we have become addicted to lying. Those who say that these characteristics are found in every country of the world, and each human being has these tendencies may not be speaking the whole truth since these collective diseases are in abundance in Pakistan and are not seen anywhere else.

 

It is hard to get food items free of adulteration. Pure ghee is made out of fats of dead dogs and donkeys. Meat of donkeys and dead cows/buffaloes are sold in meat shops. Drugs including lifesaving drugs are spurious. We consume contaminated spices, cooking oil, milk and soft drinks. Fakery in all our dealings is rampant. Child labor, child abuse, human trafficking, hoarding, black marketing, smuggling, kidnapping for ransom, extortion are common. Lower courts and police can easily be swayed or bought. Police instead of catching the culprits and criminals gets in league with them. Hand of law fall upon the poor only. Our law makers are the biggest violators of rule of law. They either break or bend laws to suit their convenience. We indulge in them rather than striving to overcome them. We may deny it but the world perceives us that way. Instead of working hard to overcome our weak areas we lament and blame others for our failings.  

 

Sickness is within ourselves. The students choose to plagiarize and cheat. Men and women enter into marriage under false pretenses. Pompousness and vulgar show of wealth by the rich is in fashion, and so is nepotism and sycophancy. Suffering from superiority complex, the elites look down upon the poor. Problem lies with those who allow religion to give them a sense of false complacency. And those who pander to the powerful and the mighty, and ignore the weak and the frightened.

 

May I hazard to ask them who their gods are? Not Allah, surely. Their gods are flawed beings whom they admire and worship, and their own base selves. Parents who chastise their children, but never spend time with them, explaining right from wrong, the problem lies with them. And they try to assuage their children with toys and electronics, cars and jewels. Problem lies with the teaching community in schools and colleges who fall much short of acting as role models for the students.

 

Undoubtedly, Pakistan suffers from leadership crisis and is saddled with corrupt leaders and legislators who care a lot for their vested interests but little for national interests, but we are responsible for electing them again and again. We get swayed by their false promises and forget their past follies. We think in terms of political party affiliations, ethnic, linguistic and caste basis and pay little heed to national interests.  As a result, we are a divided nation and despite being a nuclear power and blessed with strong armed forces, everyone whips Pakistan. While Corruption is eating into the vitals of the country like a termite, terrorism is jolting the very foundations of Pakistan.    

 

Isn’t it high time to stop thinking that the problem is the army, the politicians, the mullahs, the nation? The problem is us. We are the problem. The same students who plagiarise their papers, who cheat in their exams, are clamoring at rallies screaming for “Inquilab”. The same women and men who point fingers at the immoral leaders are cheating on their spouses. The same men who lambast the feudals and industrialists are cheating on their taxes and not paying their electricity bills. The same people who donate so much money to the poor are underpaying their servants. 
Each and every person in Pakistan contributes to this system. We are the problem. 
And each person who says, “Not me, I’m honest” is the biggest liar of all. 

Nuclear might, strong army, and full coffers will neither make us a strong nation, nor will help in making us morally strong and virtuous. Each one of us will have to carry out self-accountability and put his/her own house in order rather than finding faults in others. Home is the best training centre followed by the educational institute to guide the youth towards constructive channels. These two reformatory laboratories need to play their role effectively. Once we bridge the societal divides and get united, improve our moral fibre and follow the righteous path as inscribed in the Quran and taught by Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), only then will Allah shower His blessings, and grant us an upright, honest, pious and bold leader who will cure the diseases of Pakistan and make it healthy and prosperous. Only then we as a nation will be able to confront the internal and external challenges squarely and lead an honorable life.

Pakistan: Leaders or Criminals

|

By Mahboob A. Khawaja, PhD.

[At least 55 people were killed and more than 150 injured in a lethal suicide attack on the Pakistan side of Wagah border.]

Leaders with No accountability and No Shame
 

Pakistan is in ruins. The nation and its institutions, law and justice, commerce, thinking hubs, political governance all appear dysfunctional and self-contradictory. Eroding freedom of thought and action speaks of the missing accountability of the political elite. The nation is fast becoming a victim of the US planned blue-print being used in Iraq. Vengeful sectarian killings and dismantling of economic, political and moral infrastructures is used to incapacitate the nation by its own sadistic rulers. All fighting against each other to end the very existence by collective madness. The paid Pakistani political and security agents are instrumental in carrying out heinous crimes. Increasingly, and without any logical redress, common citizens are the targets of the political cruelty. No wonder, once conditions favorable to cruelty are established, it spreads like frightening wildfire. The governance demonstrates a dead-ended political conscience at the expense of the interests of the people. After a decade-old American entrapment in the bogus war on terrorism, the country has lost the energy and capacity to deal with any major problem of security or national unity. The foreign agenda is focused on breaking the moral and spiritual lifelines of the Pakistani nation by its own agents of influence. There are no brave and proactive politicians to stop the continuing political stagnation. The nation faces colossal disaster day in and day out but nobody is held accountable for the crimes. The Generals are convenient spectators and Nawaz Sharif is happy, the herd is politically manageable to complete his inherently fraudulent term of office as prime minister.

Daily blood baths of civilians go unabated, adding to the statistical record for lack of adequate security. The latest cold blooded murder of 55 innocent people at Wagha border and 150 or so injured adds nothing new to grieving citizens belief that Pakistan is governed by most inept, incompetent and corrupt people ever witnessed by an informed nation. No politicians assume responsibility for the protection and safeguard of life and property of ordinary Pakistanis. There is an obvious disconnect between the people and the political rulers constantly hated and feared by the masses. The conflicting time zones are widening in which ordinary people suffer versus the ruling elite breathe as daily civilian casualties continue to rise because of the Taliban attacks and targeted massacres of ordinary citizens. Whose failure is it, and who should be held accountable? Is the Pakistani security apparatus so incompetent and ill equipped that it cannot ensure public safety? Given the lack of accountability and lack of shame, there is nothing to prevent these political criminals from repeating their crimes. So the killings of the innocent civilians go unabated. Strange as it is, opposition activists raising voices against the Sharif regime are conveniently arrested and jailed, but not the Sharif brethren who kill the citizens at random and implement planned massacres. Those facilitating crimes against the people occupy positions of political leadership and even law and justice cannot question them. They are abetted by the political class, committed the greatest heist in history.
Assuming political power in Pakistan means supporting the king’s men of oligarchy. Nobody could dare to challenge their supremacy in the annals of public affairs. For almost three months thousands of people across wide spectrum of Pakistani society, were raising voices of REASON in Islamabad to imagine political change and to have the Sharif brothers held accountable for politically geared killings and death squads against peaceful demonstrators. The inaction contributes to the downfall of the country to obscurity and insanity often irreversible in time and space. This week, at Wagah international border, 55 civilians were cold bloodedly massacred by a group of Taliban. Reportedly 100 or more were critically injured. Sharif and military security officials have proven to be a failure to console the people in situation of emergencies and moments of pain and anguish.
A ‘Failed State’ or Quagmire of Political Insanity
Pakistan lives in self-inflicted turmoil of political and military intrigues – all deceiving all – all trying to gain their foothold in power either by attracting foreign interventions or creating catastrophic political hazards to dismantle the fabric of the originally Muslim nation. The stage actors want power and use it as a divine right of absolutism against the interests of the coerced masses. This set the stage for the gradual decadence of the meaning and purpose of the Pakistan Freedom Movement. The worst emerged when ZA Bhutto and General Yahya Khan refused to transfer power to Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the majority East Pakistani leader after the 1971 national elections. They managed to kill several thousands of Pakistanis on both sides to retain power and ended up in humiliating surrender to India. Both betrayed the nation and both escaped the accountability. ZA Bhutto emerged as an absolute illegitimate leader of defeated Pakistan assuming the role of Martial Law administrator, President and later Prime Minister. Another military coup by General Zia ul-Haq got the US-other Western nation involved in military intervention to oust the Communist USSR from occupying neighboring Afghanistan and evolution of jihadist – Taliban struggle. In August 1988, Ms. Bhutto and her mother were reportedly responsible for the plane crash of General Zia ul Haq and Killings of 12 Generals and hundreds of others civilians including foreign diplomats. Subsequently, Ms. Bhutto and her mother were not charged with killings of so many precious lives but embraced as the first female PM. She was dismissed twice as corruption that knew no bound. Ms. Bhutto and Asif Zardari stole millions of dollars from Pakistan and were indicted by Swiss court on money laundering schemes. The $60. Million were never recovered by the national treasury. A crime-riddled political culture flourished in which these monsters floated freely. Nawaz Sharif was also dismissed twice on corruption charges. In 1999, he conspired to hijack a PIA incoming flight from SriLanka to Karachi in which the then COAS General Pervez Musharaf and 250 or more civilian passengers were traveling. Sharif had the plan to send the plane to India or to get it crashed. A military coup ousted Sharif and was tried on terrorism charges in a court law and exiled. General Musharaf and his colleagues traded-in Pakistan’s national interest including the nuclear program, and hundreds of innocent Pakistanis sold to populate infamous Guantanmo Bay terror prison in return for cash payments by George W. Bush. Musharaf lived in a $1.4 million newly bought mansion in London under British police 24/7 protection before returning to Pakistan. “Do Pakistanis have any sense of honor?” asked one British journalist of the Daily Telegraph. Would any honorable nation or country allow such criminals to reemerge as political leaders?
Pakistan Needs Educated and Intelligent Leaders to Cure the Political Curse
To imagine a progressive country, educated Pakistanis living abroad could be resourceful to transfer their knowledge and experiences for the good of the country and to strive for a Navigational Change. But how? Hold your breath! An American neurologist of Pakistani origin goes back passionately to serve the people. His clinic in Satellite town- Rawalpindi offers highly specialized systematic health care services to fellow Pakistanis. Even treats those who cannot pay the fee or medication bill. Thousands line up and day and night go to this clinic. The doctor starts getting warning messages from local ‘ghundas’ (rascals) asking for protection money. The doctor continues to work and informs the police. They too want their share of the protection money and do nothing. He complains to higher civic authorities upon getting death threats but nobody listens and does anything to ensure the safety of the doctor and clinic. One day hundred of patients get big surprise when they see the rampaged clinic and the doctor is nowhere to be seen. Lufhtansa Germany Airline flies to Lahore but does not change its crew over there. The fear of kidnappers demanding money haunts them all the time. What a Shame…. What a Shame … What a DISGRACE to a conscientious Pakistani that leaders of Pakistan’s Government cannot extend sense of security to a reputable international airline. No sensible person or global citizen will ever invest or travel to a country at the crossroads of daily bloodbaths, corruption and political gangsterism. Is this prevalent fact hard to grasp to any responsible person in Pakistan? Tourism is a lifeline to any developing nation like Pakistan. During the summer of 2013 under PM Sharif, 10 international tourists were cold blooded murdered by Taliban group near the K2 mountainous region. Is Pakistan that naïve and hopeless in security that it cannot protect the international tourists? Farzana Parveen would have liked to know why she was stoned to death right where law and justice were supposedly administered to have protected her at the Lahore High Court compound. Police were watching the horrifying killing. “Farzana Parveen Stoning Shames Pakistan.” (Asia Times: 6/2/2014). The terrifying scene portrayed in the global news media showed hundreds of spectators witnessing the most horrifying crime to human nature, not in darkness but in broad daylight, and right where freedom, human dignity, and honor of the citizens should have been protected – the Lahore High Court compound with police in attendance. It is incredibly shameful to be a Pakistani and to watch this inhuman atrocity out of the nowhere. Why the police did not offer protection to Farzana? Farzana’s soul must be wondering, why did society not protect her against this draconian act of violence? Where are the concerned citizens who claim to be believers – the Muslims who day and night talk about Islam as being the faith and value of their society? The Sharif brother’s investigation revealed nothing to hold the criminal responsible. In June, Karachi International Airport (“Pakistan in Quest of Political Change.” Uncommon Thought Journal, USA: 6/18/2014), was on flame under Talibans attacks. It was a devastating blow to the international image and security of Pakistan. Nobody resigned or was held responsible for failing to protect the airport. Could Sharif and the few complacent Generals assure the global community that Pakistan is a safe place to travel, study, visit and do business? If not, why not? The bogus assemblies, time killing discussions, Sharif and the few Generals are the people embedded with wrong thinking and doing the wrong things. They are part of the problem, not solution and have NO SENSE of the freedom, honor and dignity of the nation. There was no “peace process” between Pakistan and Taliban and there is no peace. Only the absence of peace, and the gnawing want for it, the desperation of the vanquished clearly visible on the mindset of public horizon.
There is a frightening trend of crime explosion across the nation. Daily killings of the civilians go unabated and unchecked by the security agencies. The blame game is centered on Talibans – the creation of the Bhutto family and the Generals. For almost two decades, Pakistan’s capacity for change has been badly fractured and its moral, intellectual and political consciousness derailed and undermined by the few. Bruce Riedel, one of President Obama’s advisors on Pakistan and the War on Terrorism (“Battle for the Soul of Pakistan” 1/4/2013, Brookings Institute and Centre for Middle East Policy), recently described the Pakistani rulers-both civilian and military: “Pakistanis cannot be trusted as they play dubious role, cheat and become double agents in War on Terror” and warns that: “The changes in Pakistan are unlikely to come peacefully and will have major implications for India and America. The stakes are huge in the most dangerous country in the world.”
Pakistan’s worst enemies are those who are unable to listen to voices of reason and peaceful activism for political change. The ruling elite and the people live in a conflicting time zone being unable to understand the meaning and essence of the Pakistan’s Freedom Movement. Pakistan faces multiple chronic problems which could undermine its future. To all concerned and thinking Pakistanis, the country needs a Navigational Change or we could end up losing our national freedom. What is the cure to the current problems? There is no magic pill to deal with all critical situations except a comprehensive new systematic approach for ‘Anew Pakistan.’ Few decades earlier, in “Pakistan: Enigma of Change” (Media Monitor Network, USA) and “Revisiting Pakistan Enigma of Change”, this author offered proactive vision for planned political change to evolve new institutions and new-age educated leadership for a sustainable future. For too long, the masses have experienced tormenting pains and political cruelty. Nawaz Sharif and his brother must be tried in a court of law for the killings of 14 civilians and injuring 80 peaceful activists at Minhaj al Quran Academy Lahore and stolen wealth. Despite evidence, the FIR against Sharif was not registered by police. Nawaz Sharif has no political integrity and must step down or take leave of absence. There is substantial evidence for the 2013 election rigging by the election commission members. Sharif would need a powerful jolt as criminals do not exit voluntarily from powerhouses. It will provide a logical breathing space for a planned and workable remedy to a highly critical political crisis and to enhance a sustainable Change goal. A new Government of National Unity should be formed under a non-partisan and non political leader of moral and intellectual integrity for a period of two years; a New Constitution should be framed with new public institutions under leadership of new generation of educated people; and then a new election could give meaning and clarity to the purpose of democracy and to transform the ideals of a progressive legitimate functional democracy. The Need is desperate for the Pakistani nation to think critically and see the Mirror and stand firm in raising voices of reason for accountability and political change. The people must ponder at past misconceptions and errors of judgments and to bring 21st century’s educated, proactive and intelligent young people into political leadership role and to safeguard the national interest, freedom of the nation and its future.

*Reform Act of 2015*

1. No Tenure / No Pension: Parliamentarians collect a salary while in
office but should not receive any pay when they’re out of office.

2. Parliamentarians should purchase their own retirement plans, just
as all Pakistani do with life insurance etc.

3. Parliamentarians should no longer vote themselves a pay raise.
Their pay should be linked to the CPI or 3%, whichever is lower.

4. Parliamentarians should lose their current health care system(
foreign countries medical treatment) and participate in the same
health care system as the Pakistani people.

5. Parliamentarians with tainted records, criminal charges &
convictions, past or present should be summarily banned from the
parliament and fighting election on any pretext or the other.
6. Parliamentarians should equally abide by all laws they impose on
the Pakistani people.

7. All contracts with past and present Parliamentarians should be void
effective 1/1/15 .The Pakistani people did not make this contract with
them. Parliamentarians made all these contracts for themselves.

8.Serving in Parliament is an honor, not a lucrative career. The
Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve
their term(s), then go home and back to work.

9.No surrender of subsidies like LPG by citizens unless all subsidies
available to MPAs and MNAs withdrawn including subsidised food in
Parliament canteen and free accommodation in the parliamentary lodges

If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only
take three days for most people in Pakistan to receive the message.
Don’t you think it’s time?

 

Forward this msg to a minimum of twenty people on your contact list;
and in turn ask each of them to do likewise.

In three days, most people in Pakistan having email will have this message.
This is one idea that really should be passed around.

IS THIS A NEW DAWN FOR PAKISTAN OR YET ANOTHER MIRAGE?

Posted by admin in " RIAZ THE SHAITAN OF PAKISTAN, Asif Zardari Crook Par Excellance, General Raheel Sharif, ISHAQ DAR:THIEF OF PUNJAB on July 3rd, 2015

IS THIS A NEW DAWN FOR PAKISTAN OR YET ANOTHER MIRAGE?

By

 

 Saeed Malik

 

 

 

Gen R.Shariff
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Asif Zardari’s recent round of yelping is a sure sign of pain issuing from the realization that the cycle of immunity from prosecution for multifarious acts in an unending saga of unchecked criminality might finally be coming to an end.
The possibility that the bonding partnership in crime and immunity between  the political parties, established by the unwritten lines of the “Charter of Democracy” is finally about to be dismantled, andthat mega corruption may at last find itself a place among the lowest depths of ultimate dishonour in our society, as also being recognized as the ultimate  existential threat to us as a country.
 

And if, as is rumoured, Gen Raheel is also holding the corrupt generals  to task, Pakistan will surely get a second lease of life. And if this happens it will be due directly to honest and dedicated leadership, which Pakistan has not been acquainted with, from the time that  Jinnah was lowered into the ground.

​ 

It is all a matter of throwing the book at 400 people to save 200 million. Thus there should be no fear, and all the incentive, in doing so.

 

As long as the people of Pakistan FEEL that an era of justice for them, and accountability for the high and mighty who have done little but to rob them of hope and their dreams is about to dawn, they will back Gen Raheel and the army in all that it is doing. And the army should draw great confidence from the fact that its approval rating among the people already stands at over 80%.

 

The danger in all this is that as more and more of the filth of the current political leadership is revealed, the more strident will the calls for the imposition of martial law. These calls have to be resisted. Falling into the trap of martial law will cost the army its professionalism and its credibility, as has happened often in the past.

And while resisting such calls, it should be kept in mind that immunity to PML should under no circumstances be a given. All of them are birds of a feather, and they are brothers in crime under the terms of the Charter of Democracy. It is only the willfully blind who cannot see this even now.As crime after crime is being uncovered and exposed by the Rangers and the agencies, is there even a whimper of disapproval, much less outraged condemnation of such crimes coming from the likes of such stalwart democrats as Mulla Fazal, Asfandyar Wali, Achakzai, Aitzaz Ahsan, Reza Rabbani, Ishaq Dar, Khawaja Asif, Khawaja Saad Rafiq, and the great Sharif brothers? Are they all not acting as if they are positively miffed at the army for attempting to retrieve the fortunes of the country from their unholy claws?

To effectively charge the corrupt so that they pay back their dues to society, and to ensure their reservation in the clink,the law will have to be changed, whereby the mega thieves should be considered guilty unless they can prove themselves innocent. All their assets, [minus their proven inherited wealth] need being added up; the authenticity of their declared earnings should be examined;  and  a quantification [in monetary terms] of their living expenses should be made. Their assets and living expenses should then be weighed against authentic, proven income, and these should be weighed against the taxes they have given. And if there is an imbalance between their assets and proven income, or between their assets and the taxes they have paid, they should be held to be guilty, and jailed till they have returned the thieved amount plus back taxes, plus an additional fine in proportion to the scale of their theft. And their terms in jail should not be eased by conferring upon them a class of confinement reserved for the common criminals which they undoubtedly are.

And there is nothing new nor “undemocratic” about this. The IRS in the U.S moves more or less precisely this way.

It is the call of the hour to save the country from the ravages of its

​
so called​

“democrats” who, with few exceptions, have gutted their motherland. And if Gen Raheel starts with the generals, he will have the people raving for him as he moves ahead.

By now, it is quite clear, that the army has tons of evidence of theft, of robbery, of extortion,of murder, of prostitutes [some now pregnant] being used to launder billions of rupees, of qabza and auction of thousands of acres of land, of government auctioning off positions in officialdom, and of outright treachery [witness the memogate affair and related issues.]

Has there ever been such a coordinated effort at eroding the very foundations of the state by the people who have been “voted” in to safeguard and strengthen these very foundations, and to provide good governance and justice to its people??

Armed with all this evidence, the following needs to be done, to recover the country from the fatal gift of Musharraf’s NRO:

– The generals need to meet to assess the sheer gravity of the situation as regards national security, brought about directly by the ravages of the very people sworn to serve the country and its people.

-To formally resolve to put this situation right, through direct intervention, but not by imposition of military rule, and as far as is possible to avoid recourse to this extreme measure.

-Every general should sign this resolution so that each is personally vested in it, and also so that should they veer from it and allow themselves to be swayed away for considerations of personal power, they could one day be held accountable.

-Make a reference to the Supreme Court for an in- camera hearing, with a plea to find the government, at the very least, criminally negligent in the discharge of its duties, so that it is dismissed, and an interim set up  takes its place, and fresh elections are announced.

 

–The following ordinances need to be enacted immediately upon investiture of the interim government:

  • ​To put the country under emergency rule with the army brought in, in aid of civil power till new elections are held, and the new parliament is firmly settled.
  • ​No one charged for corruption be allowed to stand for elections unless first cleared of such charges.
  • All the people so charged, be considered guilty unless the taxes they have paid are in proportion of the wealth they have garnered; and the assets they hold are in proportion to the income they can justify…..such people be tried by military courts, where it is a question of comparatively simple tabulation of wealth accumulated against taxes paid, so that the usual objections of competence or otherwise of military courts is not brought into question.
  • ​Police and civil servants are granted statutory guarantees such that never again is there a danger of their status falling to that of becoming personal servants of those in government. And having done this, to ensure that the best of them are then given the most important assignments. If need be the finest of such officers who have been wasted out of service in the recent past, should be recalled to service, to heal the decimation which these services have suffered at the hands of the “royalty” which has passed itself off as elected democrats. It must be realized that the best of our civil servants and police officers are in no way inferior to our better army officers. And but for the protection that the institution affords the military officers, they themselves  would have fared no better than their brothers in the civil. Such officers properly placed and supported by the army will imporve governance and make martial law redundant.
  • Immediately after fresh elections, the 18th amendment, this monstrous piece of legislation thought out by Raza Rabbani to imperil the unity of the country, should be sent to the trash heap.
 
The bottom line in our recovery from terminal illness as a society and a country lies in the hope that the arch criminals at the helm of the state be dealt with by the same fearlessness, with which they have prostituted their powers in the destruction of all that is sacred and valuable about their country.
 
Ultimately it is a question of bringing a few hundred people to the book so that the future of 200 million is redeemed. The army has promised this four times earlier and failed. It failed because the promise on the back of which it came to power each time, was never meant to be kept. If this time finally the intent is different, so will be the results. And if this is so, this batch of generals will have earned the undying gratitude of millions today, and many more who are to follow. All they need to ask themselves is whether giving their last full measure of devotion to their country will be worth the toil or not.
 
P.S.​
At the first opportune moment the government should be forced to disclose all the secret clauses of the LPG deal with Qatar. But before doing this, they should all be put on ECL. I have a suspicion that when such a disclosure is forced on the government, there will be a mad rush for the exits.
