Looking at the daily ongoing killings and destruction of
property in Pakistan, one
ought not to hesitate to agree with what Mr. Tufail Ahmed is stating in his
study about Pakistan. He is
correct in urging the world to declare Pakistan as a state of genocide. The plight of minorities in Pakistan is
worse than second class citizens, the mental and physical torture perpetrated
on them is beyond belief, the humiliation and low self-respect they have to
endure is inhumane. Slowly and slowly, Pakistan
is turning the clock backward and becoming a caliphate state, a state where
torture, cruelty and stone-age way of life will prevail. Unfortunately, the moderate literate class in
Pakistan
is mute and witnessing this scenario without any emotions evinced. I do not know the basis of Mr. Ahmad's
analysis, but I think these are, among others, a few factors for the downfall
of Pakistan and they are, the puppet government in Islamabad which does not
want to control the militants, lame duck press and media, disrespect of
judiciary and an open-ended authority and power accorded to the nexus of ISI
and military. The illiteracy rate cann't
be ignored either when it comes to elections.
Since 1947, Pakistan
has been controlled by military, zamidars, feudals and landlords whose main aim
has been to rule people with suppression.
If one looks around, it is not only in Pakistan but in all Muslim
countries, the ideology of repression is adopted to rule the public- keep them
illiterate and let them live under the domination of powerful. NOW THE BALL IS IN THE COURT OF WORLDWIDE
CIVILIZED COMMUNITY TO TACKLE THIS PITIFUL SITUATION IN PAKISTAN BEFORE
IT BECOMES UNMANAGEABLE.
