”Islamic Republic of Pakistan” Should be
renamed as “People’s
Republic of Pakistan”, by Shah A Siddiqui
It is a shame for Pakistanis to keep the name of the
country on the ground of
“Islam” and also there is no need to apron string the ‘Islamic’ with the
country’s name. Simple “Pakistan” or “People’s
Republic of Pakistan” is very appropriate according to the ongoing pity
situation of the country. Is there any logic to keep the name “Islamic Republic
of Pakistan” and humiliate the religion. In that respect there are several
Muslim countries in the world who could be better Muslims than us and better
governance are being carried out, but they are not using the religion with
their country’s name.
There are 57 countries in the world who are Muslims by the
Muslim population, but they did not choose the string of Islam with their
country’s name. What went amiss with the leaders of Pakistan that they are
humiliating the Islam since last 67 years in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
Are the leaders performing their responsibilities according to
the constitution of Pakistan and Islamic Shariah? Our nation had been adjudged
the most corrupt state in the list of 97 countries and stands at 7th ranking,
should we proud for being a citizen of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan?
Each and every political leader of this state is corrupt, except
a few. Ripping off the
country’s economy, looting the wealth and filling their suitcases with money
out of the pocket of poor countrymen. Is this Islamic Republic of Pakistan,
where the Imam masjid rapes the innocent young girls and boys in their ‘hujras’
and ‘madrasas’ where the poor parents sends their children to get an Islamic
education.
This is Islamic Republic of Pakistan, where the Baloch leader
and a member of the parliament support the killing of seven women by burying
them alive. Should we proud to be a citizen of the ‘Islamic’ Republic of
Pakistan, where Muslims of different faction slaughtering each other every day
in the name of Islam.
Is that Islamic Republic, where the minorities have no freedom
to live their live according to Islamic teachings and their churches, temples
are being put on fire and their houses are being burnt. Same with Ahmadi
minority, facing the persecution and being killed by their fellow Muslim
citizen.
Does Islam permits you to celebrate cultural shows and musical
evenings when the one part of the country suffering from drought and people are
dying due to hunger, unavailability of clean water and health care? So far, more than 250
people died, including 70 children in a village Thar in Sindh province. Hazrat
Umar was not
sleeping at night time and he uses to travel around the city to
recover out if any inhabitant is sleeping without taking his meal. Pity on
those leaders who claims to be a Muslim and posses a high seat in the society
but acting anti Islamic way. The Parliamentarian amended the constitution and
made article 62 & 63 workable, but the leaders made fun of its own rules
and trashed these articles during general election held in 2013.
Did the father of the nation Hazrat Quaide Azam Mohammad Ali
Jinnah ever mentioned in his speeches during his struggle to achieve a country
for Indian Muslims to be an Islamic country? Never. He was interested to take a
separate sovereign state on the basis of two nation theory, but
he clearly referred in his addresses and writings that the country Pakistan
will also be a land for those non-Muslims who desire to dwell with serenity and
self-respect.
Quaid e Azam had clearly outlined
his vision of Pakistan in an address to the constituent, delivered on 11 August 1947.He spoke of an
inclusive and impartial government, religious freedom, rule
of law and equality for all. Where are the Pakistani Muslims now, are
they respecting the vision of their assemply Father of the Nation. How this nation can
respect Quaide e Azam’s vision when they have no self respect and have no
respect, even as a Muslim, for the teaching of the Quran and the Sunnah.
Is that Islamic
Republic of Pakistan, where the mausoleum of their Father of the Nation
Mohammad Ali Jinnah had been changed into an hourly rented “Prostitution room” by the local
management and when it was brought out by a local TV anchor, no action was
taken against those culprits. Where the morality stands of these Pakistani
citizens of the “Islamic Republic of Pakistan”
The Pakistani nation is
trying to pose as a fundamental, principled and honest Muslims, where they go
to the mosque five times a day for prayers and every day a new mosque
being built at the corner of each mohallah but the heart and minds of those
Muslims are being more polluted with sins,
where 3 months baby girl is
not being spared to rape and 9 month baby boy get arrested in a murder incident
, Is it not an insanity of a corrupt Muslim society.?
There are hundred of
thousands of reasons to condemn the use of Islam for the country. Just look
around the world and see the Muslims, who are the citizen of their country like
Indonesia, Malaysia, Turkey, UAE, Afghanistan, Bangladesh and many more, as I
said there are about 57 Muslim countries in the world but only one crazy Muslim
country we can see in the globe whose terminology towards Islam is just
opposite. These 57 states are not labeling Islam to prove that they are
Muslims, but ‘Alhamdu Lillah’ the people and the government are better than us
and they are in the airstream of the development according to the advanced
universe. We take in examples of Indonesia, Malaysia, Turkey, UAE and Brunei.
Bribery, kidnapping for
ransom, robbery and killing in
broad daylight in front of law enforcement agencies is very common. Our
government has failed to control the law and order in the country. Talibans are
spreading every where in the country and killing people but the security forces
are paralysed.
These countries I have
mentioned are Muslim nations, but there is one more country in the world who is
not a Muslim country and their formation is founded on freedom of all forms, it is the United States
of America, thousand times better than any so-called Islamic state. In the USA
I can go to mosque without fear of bombing, with freedom of religious
activities, freedom of speech and above all the Masses are most humble and
kind. The people of Pakistan and the leaders of Pakistan always curses to the
USA but they are also dying for coming to enjoy the freedom and clean water,
clean food and welfare society and education. USA is not a Muslim nation, but
its organic law and government are tolerant and always their heart is receptive
to take anybody from any religion or country, Every religion is free to perform
his rituals and worships in the USA. Can a Pakistani citizen feel free to do
all these, if he is not a Muslim and
even if one is Muslim by different faith will face hardship and persecution to
perform his rituals. Sunnis will kill to Shia, Barelvi will kill to Deobandi.
In the United States everyone is free to perform his religious ritual and
festivities and this is what Islam teaches us. This country is more Islamic
than Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, the most sacred place in the world. In KSA not
a single person can overstay beyond his visa regardless of your religious
affiliation, but in America one can enter legally, illegally, the person just
got in a shelter and get all facilities what a human being needs, from food to
health care and education. Is this gesture, not more than Islamic countries. So
it is not necessary to keep a ‘dum Challah’ of Islam with the name of Pakistan.
70 percent leaders does
not pay the tax, they steal electricity, they steal gas, they steal water for
their luxury castles and their mills and factories. The poor honest citizen
suffers for their bad deeds. The leaders take Millions of rupees as a loan and
later they get waived their loans, is this the teaching of Islam?. I will not hesitate to blame the general
public also, who are not pious or chaste either. The responsibility goes to the
common men also. They are not taking any interest to uplift their life style
and control the corruption in the society. I know In Karachi and Lahore and
many other big cities, people steal electricity by a hook from the main line
and they steal gas also. Most of the restaurant owners steals gas and water by
bribing the City officials.
The country should be
free like it was early 70’s before the corrupt Kath Mullahs hijacked the
country in the name of Islam and running their notorious business and ripping
of the country. Before Zulfiquar Ali Bhutto’s era, Islam was not alive in
Pakistan or people were not allowed to go to mosque in that free society? There
use to be celebration of Miladun Nabi and Majalise Aza, and Procession of 10th Muharram, everywhere without any fear.
Muslims, Christians, Ahmadis, Hindus all were living in peace and in an
environment of brotherhood. Every Muslim has his own responsibility for his
good deed ad bad deed, if he goes to the bar to drink alcohol or he goes to the
night club to enjoy his evening, he himself is answerable to God.
Still, when Talibanization is going on in Pakistan, there is
alcohol, female prostitution, male prostitution, Qahba Khana everything is
running but underground which is open to everyone. When the Talibanization is
on the top, in Pakistan the “Male Prostitution “ is equally growing with the
Islamization. There are hundreds of stories in the media that Talibans are
using and molesting young, handsome boys during their training as a suicide
bomber. Where the Islam is?
The responsibility goes
to the Pakistani citizens who are posing like an extreme Muslim and the other
side they are more dirty from inside. Being a Muslim they are feeding their own
citizens the dead meat of
donkeys, dogs, horse and dead chickens beside their regular 5 time prayers.
The system will not be
cleaned until the people get himself clean, and honest. The country needs to
clean and reforms the system in Police department and Judicial and bring them
to justice, specially the
Judges like Choudhry Iftikhar, should not be spared to live a free lavish life in the bullet proof car
provided by the government. He was the Chief Justice of Pakistan and was a most
corrupt Judge in the judicial history. If the Judge and police are corrupt in
the society, you cannot
bring welfare in the nation.
It is, therefore, my
humble request to the corrupt leaders of Pakistan to stop insulting and
humiliating ‘Islam’ and change the name of the land and keep it simple
“Pakistan” or “People’s Republic of Pakistan”. A bunch of states in the
universe has changed their state names in the past years and I am certain it
will not harm Islam or Muslims, but at least by our characters and behaviors
the name of ‘Islam’ will be relieved to be insulted or humiliated.
