We are celebrating 62nd independence day of Pakistan. But do we know the meaning of independence or meaning of independence is different in Pakistan? With 9 billion dollar loan from IMF in Nov 2008, to save Pakistan from bankruptcy, we are still independent. President and his government had begged to the world to support Pakistan otherwise Pakistan cannot be saved and still we are independent. US drone’s enter Pakistan without the consent of Government of Pakistan and roam freely, but still we are independent. Richard Holbroke who is only US special envoy for Pakistan and Afghanistan whenever comes to Pakistan, all the government officials including President stand in front of him like sheeps and can’t say a word against penetration of US drones and US forces in Pakistan, but still we are independent. US secretary of state Hillary Clinton chairs the press conference of Pakistan’s and Afghanistan’s President’s. and still we are independent. All major policies are made by US and dictated to coward and impotent leaders of Pakistan, but still we think we are an independent state. So called political parties which talks about democracy so much but unfortunately they don’t have democracy inside their parties, so how can they bring democracy to Pakistan, but we are still independent. With President of Islamic Republic of Pakistan saying that promises are not Quran or Hadees, we are an independent country. With no electricity, jobs, food, shelter still in the 21st century, we are an independent country. With provinces demanding separation of Pakistan (Balochistan), we are an independent country. With losing East Pakistan within first 25 years of independence, due to political negligence we still are independent. Flag hoisting ceremony is cancelled in parliament house due to security reasons and we are celebrating independence. With 1000 marines coming into Pakistan with the consent of impotent Government, we still believe that we are independent. By substituting picture of our great Quaid with Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto, we are celebrating independence. With the 10% increase in corruption, we are celebrating independence. People are forced to do suicides due to poverty, unemployment, but still we are independent. Our Government begs for money from the world to run the country and had sold respect and dignity of our nation, but still we are independent. Our politicians love Pakistan so much that no one invests in Pakistan, no one has any bank account in Pakistan, and no one’s children study in Pakistan, but we still believe we are independent. I can go on and on but I just highlighted main achievements of our independent Pakistan.
It is true that we got independence from Hindus and Britian in 1947, due to our great leader Quaid-e-Azam and many sacrifices made by everyone in the struggle to get independence. But with the demise of great Quaid we became slaves of corrupt politicians, Bureaucrats and elite class. I may be wrong because if independence means that on 14th August, everyone puts a badge for display and people dancing, youngsters with bikes performing stunts, Government illuminating buildings etc. but the next day you woke up and forget what Pakistan is for? Then sorry there is no point of such an independence L. We got independence but we are still unable to realize what it is and what its worth. We need independence from our self desires, from corrupt politicians, from this corrupt system, from discrimination between poor and rich, from liars, from forces who are working to break our country.
I hope we will get independence from all this one day. Lets pray to Allah Almighty to save our country and Guide us and our rulers to a straight path.Ameen. Pakistan Zindabad :).
