PKKH Editorial
The month of April has brought yet more eventful happenings to the speedily changing frame-work of perception; as events fall upon one another, comprehension becomes a test, more difficult to pass than ever.
Since April began, the Pak Army has engaged itself in close-encounter with terror outfits, rooted deep in the tribal structure, posing identical to the civilians they aim to kill. As spring blooms into colors, the Pak Army readies it’s Jawans for coloring the fences of the nation with their blood; this is how they feast, more than 25 armed personal have given away their lives for that of this nation. The Army had started their move since March, when they started evacuating civilians from the problem areas. Now that the terror-outfits had been singled out, in the Valley areas of Tut Sar, Aakakhel and Tirah, their whole chemistry started to break; S.A. Haqqani, a chief of TTP Grand Shoora, suddenly announced his resignation; but in doing so published a list of 20 different ways how TTP had been a disaster and ill-coordination all along, an outfit not in the driving seat, but certainly one being driven by shifting sources. However, the Army seems to have dispersed these horrible outfits, but their dispersal is yet another threat and another challenge for the Army.
TTP and LeI dispersal is not on account of the Army alone, so much as it was foreseen by the Army in the approach of the 2014 withdrawal; TTP and the like were to be beaten out the moment their supplies were to cease from across-borders funders, and that brings us to the bafflement in the obscure camps of the US/NATO/India alliance across the border. Seems like the Hawks of the West are down on their knees and air has been blown out of the eastern white elephant, as they cut their funds and supplies to those they had been training in terror for the last whole decade to keep their war alive. There are no rules in War, but perhaps the NATO side wasn’t thinking that this goes for the other side too; eventually Pakistan and Afghanistan have survived, and the bounty-hunters are retreating, in shame.
We all know India panics under pressure, whence it has shown in Kashmir. Being in a wretched state in Afghanistan, with all dreams of hegemony broken, it raged it’s smote on the peaceful civilians of Kashmir. Starting with Afzal Guru, they went on a kill and assault spree in the Valley of Kashmir, they have kept their foot on the chest of the Valley by continually harassing and imprisoning their Freedom Leader, Syed Ali Geelani, throughout the month of April.
Pakistan, in the meantime, has entered its phase towards Elections; the exhausted public of Pakistan is once again faced with the high bunkum slogans of false promises, from the same ones who have been looting them for decades and decades. Relentless corruption and torment has rendered the common Pakistani oblivious to the possibility of ‘change’, while the democratic despots are content with the status-co, empty of the weight of guilt.
Amidst prevailing darkness, PKKH does not concur to despair and believes in the possibility of change, progress and hope. We believe that the solution for mankind resides in the simple paradigm shift, where good and bad can be distinguished at the simplest standards, and where subjective good is given equal regards when compared to physical good, if not more. Although physical indicators mean a lot, but oppression, injustice, abuse, exhaustion and depression are all felt in the heart and mind, and it is in the heart and mind where their cases can be conducted. This brings us to 62/63:
A society, which can be so confused upon the simple recognition of good and bad, is destined to fall; the whole argument upon Sadiq and Ameen is mind-blowing; will we not have rulers that are at least not liars, frauds and racketeers? How is it that two common people in the market cannot conduct a minor business without truth and trust, and such big offices that govern the matters of the whole nation, should be vouchsafed in the hands of such who are baffled on the very question of honesty and truthfulness? Is it really impossible to determine truth from falsehood, or is this another racket by the secular minded media, to score upon the very basic human instinct of good and bad upon which all societies stand, rendering them oblivious to any right or wrong whatsoever.
While all this was going on, the 16th and 17th of April brought two more blows to humanity. First, the bombings in the Boston Marathon; though only 4 were killed and over a hundred injured, the world was terrified in apprehension. 9/11 was put back to memory, and around the world, a message was sent; who will be the next victims of US terror, as it goes on to make this a plea to strengthen its war on terror around the world? The world is terrified by the US repercussion in the form of modern 4th generation terror, which the mainstream media preaches to be ‘peace-missions’.
The Earth tore itself again, this time deep below its surface in Sarwan, Iran; jolts of 7.8 magnitude were felt as far as Karachi. The far-flung areas deep in Baluchistan, where little of roads and other infrastructure are found, have been hit hard. Places like Mashakhel and others are such that even the news of causalities or destruction took more than a day to pass through. Those whose katcha houses may have been demolished or whose live-stock may have been killed, how will they survive? Who will come to their rescue, when our president has done no more than condolence for these neglected people of our own? There seems to be no state machine responsible for the rescue operation at such emergencies, we see no activity of the NMDA, but see only help from the Army and some private charity organizations, while the bulk of our political champions have not been able to give as much as a word for these disaster-struck brethren.
