It is funny that Imran Khan,
Chaudhry Shujaat, Fatima Bhutto, Chaudhry Pervez Illahi, Ejazul-ul-Haq, and
others never blamed leadership and occupants of Lal Masjid (Red Mosque) for
deaths of more than 100 men, women, and children. Using the same logic that
Imran Khan is using against Benazir Bhutto, he should have also blamed Chief
Justice Inftikhar Chaudhry and himself for loss of innocent lives during the
tragic event of May 12th in Karachi. It is ironic how Imran Khan has
subscribed to the same line of argument that MQM used against him and Chief
Justice Inftikhar Chaudhry for tragic deaths resulting out of May 12th
incident.
As weird as his logic seems, I am also surprised Mr. Khan has forgotten to
blame more than 18,000 victims of earth quake hitting Kashmir, Islamabad,
NWFP, and other areas in and around Pakistan for their chosen presence in
the affected areas. Why not to blame those people as well? After all they
were living in seismic areas bound to face the calamity they experienced?
Taking the reasoning of Mr. Khan and bunch of others to the next level, I
argue that every day we use public or private means of transportation, which
pose inherent threats risking our lives. As we all know it does not have to
be our fault to be victim of a fatal accident. When accidents happen shall
we blame the victim of an accident as prescribed by Imran Khan’s logic or
the perpetrator of such a tragedy? Common sense suggests that we place
responsibility of such a human loss on the perpetrator rather than a victim
of the tragedy. But not in the Mr. Khan’s book, which is shared by Chaudhary
Shujaat, Pevez Illahi, Fatima Bhutto, Arbab Rahim, Ejaz-ul-Haq, Shaikh
Rashid, and others.
If the law of the land and insurance companies used the same logic that Mr.
Khan and other Benazir Bhutto haters are pushing, we will be living in
upside down world. The killers will be set free and the victims will be
cited with charges of violations by their coffins.
Come on folks! Do not let your anger and hate against one person eat-away
your common sense. Pakistan has been invaded. The land you live on has lost
its sovereignty because some fanatics are using Pakistan as a launching pad
for their inhuman ends and objectives. Not engaging against the forces of
hate and destruction, People like Imran Khan are endorsing their activities
within and without Pakistan. By letting them use Pakistani soil to conduct
their brutalities, Pakistan has practically and legally entered into a
global conflict without a formal declaration. This matter is much more
serious than some of us are able and willing to recognize.
When you throw a shoe in the beehive, you should be ready to face avalanche
of stings. Instead of blaming the world why don’t we cleanup our act? Take
back your country and nobody will dare to treat you like dirt. As far as
Imran Khan and Fatima Bhutto are concerned, I have sincere pieces of advice
for them.
Imran Khan had a very promising political career ahead of him. He was able
to convert quite a few politically serious individuals I personally know. I
request him not to drift into a religious extremist direction. If he
continued going into that direction, he will soon be treated like a “Mullah
Imran Khan” rather than a potentially progressive leader who could
positively impact the lives of millions of innocent people of Pakistan.
He alone is owner of his own destiny. It is up to him to charter a role he
deems fit for himself. The road he has chosen has been travelled long before
his birth in politics by people like Mullah Omar. He must take a divorce
from people like Hameed Gul who live in their own little world.
As far as Fatima Bhutto is concerned, she might have entered the dirty ring
by compulsion and burden of false expectations. Being daughter of a true
hero of masses, she should not toe the line prescribed by agencies who might
have spelled a shadow during her days in the crib.
Dear Fatima, defy vicious circle, recognize the true killers of your dad,
and break free from indoctrinated upbringing. You can be the next hope for
millions if you travel the road destined for you and not the detour designed
by deception.
