Should We Observe The 2nd Fool`s Day?

Ali Muhammad, the MAN from PTI, made a very important statement in the National Assembly. He said, ”I hate the word Muhajir.” He did not explain what made him hate the word “Muhajir”.

In Pakistan, there are three important reasons in respect of which, the term “Muhajir” is used. First one is the migration of the Last Prophet (PBUH) from Macca to Madia. Second one is the migration of the Muslims from the undivided India to Pakistan in 1947 and the third one is the migration of Afghanis to Pakistan due to the war going on there.

The question is, which of the three migrations made the PTI`s MNA hate the word “Muhajir”?

Leaving the first migration a side, was Ali Muhammad unhappy with the migration of the Afghanistan to Pakistan? If yes, then why? Moreover, if he has valid justification for his annoyance, why does his party (PTI) not take up this and speak on it in the Parliament to resolve the issue? But, if he had no problem with the Afghanis, was he unhappy with the migration of the Muslims (especially speaking Urdu) from India to Pakistan in 1947?

If it is so (that looks to be true), then, where is the two nation theory? Where are the champions of the ideology of Pakistan? Was Pakistan not made for the Muslims of the sub-continent? Did the leaders of the All India Muslim League not claim to get a separate piece of land so that the Muslims of the sub-continent could lead their lives in accordance to the Quraan and Sunnah?

In addition to this, did the Poet of the East, Allama Iqbal dream of an Islamic estate only for the Muslims speaking Sindhi, Punjabi, Balochi and Pashto? Was that his real vision? If the Muslims of other communities had been aware of this hidden aim (if it was really so), would they have supported AIML and had struggled for the estate that was not for them at all?

If Pakistan really had to be only for those Muslim ethnic communities speaking these four languages, then why were the sacrifices required from the other Muslim ethnic communities for that ethnically based state? If this was the reality, then why wasn`t any All India Sindhi Punjabi Balochi & Pathan League formed instead of All India Muslim League? On top of it, had AIML been formed in Bengal by the Muslim leaders whose mother tongue was different from these four languages? One more important question is, why was AIML formed in Bengal that was nothing to do with real Pakistan? Why was it not made in any of the cities like Lahore, Peshawar, Quetta or Larkana that had to be the “forts” of Pakistan?

However, if any “Pakistani” comes forward and says that Pakistan was made as it was claimed, i.e., for all the Muslims of the sub-continent, then the question is, why were the Bengalis ill-treated and compelled to get separation from their own united country? Why has the Urdu speaking community been the victim of the biased state policies since 1947? Why did they have to face the genocide process from their own Muslim brothers in Islamic Republic of Pakistan under the veil of operation clean up in 1992 which is still going on unannounced?

In short, all of those people, parties and the Institutions which claim to be the champion of the two nation theory and/or the Islamic ideology of Pakistan, they will have to come forward to ensure that all the communities whatsoever their culture or language is, should be treated equally and be provided unbiased and equitable share in all the resources of the country.

But, if they can`t, then just let the victim communities declare the slogan of “A separate state for the Muslims of the sub-continent” as a great deception with them in the name of Islam and Muslims and they should be allowed to collectively mourn on this “2^nd Fool`s Day”.
