Heaven being ignored just for some gains

Such a heavenly place in Pakistan is ignored from an expected catastrophe just for the sake of getting some political gains and relieves from the World!

To hell with Facebook! But have we thought about the people of Hunza valley and the natural terror haunting them, since the land-sliding on Shahrah-e-Karakoram earlier this year on 4th of January 2010? We've been busy in protesting for what happened on a social networking website called Facebook, but totally neglecting a human calamity that is going to happen just after the water is drained through the spill-ways and is expected to cause more damage than analysts and TV channels in Pakistan are wobbling!

Till the time I writing this, i.e. 28th of May 2010 - 12.44 AM PAK STANDARD TIME, the lake water is on a height 8 feet and requires to reach the figure of 10 feet to allow the water to spill through the artificial spill ways. Analysts are saying that if water slowly spills through the drainage, not such calamity would happen but I don't think like that.

The kinda area Hunza valley and Karakoram Highway is, if spillways fail, will generally create a hell of a disaster we don't even think of that. They've been saying the water is spilling beneath the soil, I say if it is than its also draining out the soil from the spill ways and so how can they be so sure about the reliability of spillways when soil beneath spillway is constantly drained out. What were they literally doing when this incident happened dated back to 4th of January 2010 due to land-sliding on Karakoram Highway, due to which trading with China is also halted, but instead of giving importance to such issue, which can (I hope what I am saying doesn't prove to be true) result in one of the biggest human catastrophe in Pakistan's history (not sure of the world so that's why not comparing), we've been busy doing cosmetic things like dancing on approval of 18th amendment. Can't this nation think of the fact that its our constitution which have been amended 18th time since 1973! Do we have any other nation in the world which had SO MANY amendments to their constitution since their independence? The answer would be no.

They just playing with the emotions of the poor people by saying that they will withdraw each and everything which A DICTATOR did in his regime! Mind you, THAT DICTATOR was more interactive than these people, who've been sitting like ducks and shitting like pigs. Whether its Pakistani Rupee Depreciation, Rise of Electricity Tariff, Lack of Natural Gas, Economy more instable than that so called DICTATOR regime.

Me being a Karachiiette, I myself have seen during Musharraf's regime, Karachi's roads we literally washed at nights when I used to return home half past 11 to be precise. Just visit Google Earth and go through the timeline and compare 2009 Karachi from 2002 Karachi. I can cover one part of the city to another in matter of minutes compared to formerly hours, and these stupid bums are claiming people want that regime's remains to be demolished. i.e. re-instating of Hyderabad District. Which means if a person at Tando Allah Yaar has some municipal problem he has to visit the center of gravity i.e. Main Hyderabad city, instead of in their own jurisdictions, and that too they are doing for the sake of reclaiming of their vote bank. Bull Shit.

Similarly they have been ignoring this awaited human catastrophe just for the sake of bagging relief funds which they are expected from the outer world in shape of donations and gifts. I just hate this Hijacked Pakistan Peoples Party.

Government lost control on the Country, literally!

The state has lost its authority to challenge the semi-literate maulvis who do more harm than good.—Photo by AP

As the residents of a village near Kasur have demonstrated — with fatal consequences — there is little that is as explosive as anger ignited by religious passions.

In yet another incident of a frenzied mob out to punish alleged blasphemy, a young man was beaten to death after his father reportedly claimed that he was the last prophet of Islam. The alleged blasphemer — an illiterate brick-kiln worker-turned-faith healer — is in police custody and other members of his family are in hiding. Their lives may still be in danger as reports from the area suggest that public anger has not subsided.

The incident is part of an established pattern. Propelled and led by religious leaders, an angry mob takes the law into its own hands to punish alleged blasphemers. The authorities almost always fail to defuse the situation. The Gojra incident in August 2009, where allegations of blasphemy led to deaths and large-scale arson, is one example.

In its attempts to ‘Islamise’ society over the years, especially during the Zia era, the state has come to a point where it is not able to rein in the obscurantist forces of its own creation. It has lost its authority to challenge the semi-literate maulvis who do more harm than good.

Few things have fed such forces more than the blasphemy laws. Since the mid-1980s when these laws were introduced, blasphemy cases have grown exponentially. Many alleged blasphemers have died, mostly at the hands of mobs, much before their case was heard or decided.

These laws have been used as weapons for personal, political, social and economic victimisation. What else can justify the registration of a blasphemy case against the country’s foremost development practitioner Dr Akhtar Hameed Khan?

Efforts must be made towards the repeal of the blasphemy laws if the state is serious about dousing religious anger before it is consumed by it.

What should I say now when the Government doesn't have the hold on domestic violence, but still they want to be on ruling seats. Benazir Bhutto was somebody who everyone admired but this government has spilled water on all those voters hope who voted for them in the hope that they'll being the prosperity.

In short I must admit we've a weakness that we want results in short time, instead of having long term planning, like someone rightly said that slow and steady wins the race and that's where we are lagging and get some of the world record hold corrupt personnel into the power to rule.

I don't say everything which Musharraf did was good but atleast whatever he took, he installed in the country, although I must agree he did these sorta thing wrong that obliging whatever the US government ordered him to, but on the contrary he did many good things too, probably more good and we people saw that, atleast at that time our Currency was stable at PKR 60 per US$ since our currency was downgraded after we had our Atomic explosions and in return we had sanctions and in result our currency downgraded but not like this government who had in first 12 months had currency more downgraded from 60 to 84.64 PKR per US$. Is that for which we elected these personnel? Everyone knows how they got elected and because they don't have any check and balance, they are incapable of handling even domestic violence, they're just busy settling their own people in big cities like Karachi Lahore on green-lands or even at somebody else' property by showing false documents, and because Police and other law governing organizations come under Federal government that's why there's no need of complaining to Police on this thing.

ایسے حکمران اگر ھمارے سر پے رہے تو ھمرا واقعی میں الللہ ہی حافظ  ہے

(translation) if such governance is on us than only Allah almighty can save us, for sure!
