A few days ago, the newly elected
President of Pakistan Mr. Mamnon Hussain , in an exclusive interview on Dawn
News said, “MQM should not oppose if the Army is used in order to restore peace
in Karachi. Rather, it should support it to prove its patriotism”.
Apparently, he seems to be right.
Why should any human friendly and patriotic individual or a party oppose any
action against the culprits or criminal elements with help of Army? However, as
far MQM is concerned, it has already cheated many times by the entire state in
the name of restoring peace in the city. All the state organs including the
Army, media, and judiciary were misused against MQM. As a result, MQM and its voters
had to face an ethnically targeted genocide under the cover of operation clean
up. In direct words, the entire state of Pakistan told the lie to MQM. That is the reason why MQM, following a burnt
child dreads fire, becomes so reluctant whenever the option of another
operation in Karachi is discussed. Thus, this is the back ground of the MQM’s
stand regarding the operation. Therefore, if anyone wants to neutrally comment
on the MQM`s stand, he/she will need to take into account all the bitter facts
first.
Coming back to the main point, we
should keep in mind that Mr. Mamnoon Hussain has become the President not of
Karachi, but of the entire country. So, the question is, why did he talk about
the use of Army to restore peace in Karachi only? Is Pakistan enjoying complete
peace all over rest of its parts? What about the recent terrorist attacks in
Gilgit Baltistan, KPK and Balochistan? Does Mamnoon Hussain have no idea of
what has been going on all over the country by Taliban and Al-Qaida? Does the
present government not need to use the army against these terrorists for the
sake of providing security to the people? In the prevailing state of the increasing
terrorism in KPK and Balochistan, should the government of Pakistan not have
launched the army operation especially in these two provinces even several years
ago? Why has Mamnoon Hussian sealed his lips on the “do or die” situation for the
Pakistan`s writ?
This impression seems to be
developing day by day that not only the Pakistani armed forces look to be unwilling
to launch any operation against Taliban and Al-Quaida, but also majority of our
political and religious parties are resisting any action against the terrorists.
These parties obviously include Jamate-e-Islami, JUI-F, PTI and PML-N. The
question is, did Mamnoon Hussian ever pass such remarks against the Taliban
supporting parties? Did he ever advise them not to oppose the use of Army to
restore peace in the country? Did he require from the leadership of these
political and religious parties to prove their sincerity and patriotism by
supporting the Army operation in their constituencies/provinces?
On top of it, does PML-N, which is
also includedg those groups which are opposing any operation against the
Taliban terrorists, deserve to be called a human friendly or patriotic party? Should
Mr. Mamnoon Hussain consider his PML-N as a patriotic party any more in the
light of his own principle? Should Mamnoon Hussain not only resign from the
post of the Presidency, but also from PML-N on being ashamed of the PML-N`s
support to the international terrorists? Furthermore, in the scenario where Mamnoon
Hussain`s own party should be called a non-patriotic party, does he deserve to
doubt the patriotism of MQM__the party which has been very clearly and boldly
demanding to take stern actions against the terrorist?
Logically, Mamnoon Hussain should
be ashamed of his own remarks for MQM. However, it is not so simple as it seems
to be. In fact, such remarks reveal another viciously made conspiracy against MQM.
These remarks can be termed as the act of fertilizing the ground for one more
military operation in Karachi. Because if the government really wants to launch
any operation in Karachi to bring back peace, then why did Manoon Hussain
require only MQM to support the military operation? Why not PPP, ANP, ST, JI,
Sindhi nationalists, TTP, PAC, Al-Quaida etc? Have all of these parties and
groups announced to extend their unconditional support for the use of army in
Karachi? If no, then why only MQM? Does it mean that this time too the real target
of the new operation will be only MQM as in the past?
Frankly speaking, whatever the
hidden intention is, it is the display of a very prejudiced mentality against
MQM and its voters. It is shameful that despite the increasing the brutal
killings of the common people and day by day losing the state`s writ especially
in Balochistan and KPK, the political government and the establishment are once
again planning to target the Karachi-ites. To tell the truth, the state should
review its ongoing policies especially against MQM and divert its attention
from it to the TTP and Al-Quida which have become the biggest threat to the
existence of Pakistan that is the need of the hour. However, if the evil mentality
harps on one string by targeting MQM, then it is surely weakening the foundation
of Pakistan………..May Allah save Pakistan.
