Pakistan; A Gift from God

Today, after a period of over more than one year I have finally found the appetite to write again. It will be unfair for people to say that I had lost interest in the political situation of Pakistan. But, it was only because of the fact that words held the value of a drop in an ocean when I used to think about the current state of affairs. However, today the need of the hour is for every Pakistani to awaken and do something or the other for our country.


It seems like anti-Pakistan elements have finally digested the break up of 1971. Therefore, in 2009 they once again stare at our country with greed and envy just the basic existence of Pakistan. Yes Pakistan, even today is the only Islamic Nuclear Power. The pride of all the Arab and Muslim world despite their ignorance above the skin. This is the Pakistan which, in May 1998, became a spark of hope to somehow ignite the independence of Palestinians. This is the Pakistan, which even today has an elite SSG brigade guarding the most sacred house of Muslims. This is the Pakistan, which led the Muslim world during the 70s despite the Dhaka Fall. This is the Pakistan, which was envisioned by the Late Allama Iqbal and led by the efforts of the Great Muhammad Ali Jinnah. This is the Pakistan, which created a Bhutto only to foresee the threats to our survival at the time and propose for an Islamic Nuclear State. This is the Pakistan, which gave the courage to Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan to build better what our neighbors had already built before us. Yes, this is the Pakistan which exists even today against all odds. And, this is the Pakistan which will Inshallah always remain because it is meant to be.


The people of Pakistan are, indeed, instilled with extraordinary endurance and patience. Even today, the masses of Pakistan are not deeply involved in the political setup of the country. Even today, our leadership looks across the seas to get their instructions. Why is this the case? It may be our destiny to face hardship or it may be the testing times, but one thing is very clear. Our nation is extraordinary. They have always rose to the occasion especially when the world had given up on us.


Today, Balochistan is the most serious problem Pakistan faces. The people of Balochistan are as integral part of Pakistan as any part could be. But, there is no doubt that even the best of leaders have somehow ignored their grievances many a times. Therefore, it is important that we bring them back into our fold. The largest province of Pakistan rich with natural gas and other priceless resources should be acknowledged. Most importantly, the people of Balochistan should be acknowledged. But, at the same time the leaders of Balochistan need to understand the nefarious designs of external agencies. It is our mistake that we have allowed our neighbors to have peace for the last 4-5 years. Quaid e Azam was not unwise to smell the foul of the leaders settling in the land of the Hindus. There is a reason that our soil is way more fertile than our neighbors despite the fact that a mere border divides them. Our biggest mistake in the past few years has been our thinking that we can live in harmony with our eastern neighbors. This has allowed them to crawl under our nose as even today, their might is none in comparison the might of Him. He, who created this world and blessed it with Pakistan. But, it is our responsibility as well to play our part. The killing of the prominent Baloch leaders is indeed a conspiracy against our survival. We, as a nation, need to act swiftly against our neighbors and remind them once again of our power. They have mistaken our patience with incapability. The time has come that we eradicate the corrupt leadership of Pakistan which is only working on the anti- Pakistan agenda. This leadership today is presided by one of the most controversial persons in this world. However, the change is imminent.


Now, let me talk about the beautiful valley of Swat. The beauty of the people of Swat is a symbol of pride for all Pakistanis. Today, the innocent people of Swat have finally found peace after years of fighting. We need to give them a chance in the system which suits them. Nizam-e-Adl is indeed endorsed and appreciated by the people of Swat. However, the testing times have also come along with the regulation. The people of Swat may be unaware of the fact that the enemies of Pakistan are actively working in the area for the last 2 years. It is important that we differentiate between the good leadership of Swat from the ones which are just power hungry. This choice should be left to the people of Swat and to the tribal leaders who have always held high control and respect amongst their people. The tribal people of Pakistan are indeed the most hospitable people in the world. But, their innocence is what I fear as their loyalty for Pakistan can never be doubted.


At the end, I would like to say that anti-Pakistan forces have and will always be working against our interests. These forces are not only exploiting the uneducated people of Pakistan. But, they have also poisoned some of the educated working class of Pakistan. Their accomplishments are existent even in the most metropolitan cities such as Karachi. They are instilling our minds with ethnic divisions. However, we need not to forget that this nation was created on the night of 14th August 1947; the 27th of Ramadhan 1366. Pakistan is a miracle of Allah and will Inshallah always be showered with His Blessings. Ameen.
