Wanted : A Volunteer Politician to take the plunge for righteousness

First of all . Let me congratulate the men of Pak Army for such a calculative action against Taliban in Swat . The least number of civilian casualties proves the point. Infact the only casualties are from the Taliban side as they explode bombs in city centers to kill and maim innocent civilians . So it is easy to guess who is more concerned about the people of Pakistan . I am sure Pak Army could have gone for an all out attack but then we would have lost a lot of innocent Pakistani civilians in the process. This shows that Pak Army is probably the only patriotic organization in our country.

Also , let me correct myself ; as per one of my earlier blogs . I praised the Sri Lankan Army for their operation against LTTE for their care of the civilian population . But I now feel the end game could have been much better . But then again you only would know it whilst you are in the middle of it.

I planned to wait for a while before I post some thing at this blog site. But could not resist after reading a particular news section and as the motto of mine behind this blog is to bring a change by encouraging and awaking patriotism . I feel I should comment on this especially.

Former South Korean president Roh Moo-Hyun committed suicide. As per the suicide note ; he was ashamed or upset on the corruption charges leveled against him. He was having sleepless nights plus he was inept to face his supporters in this scenario. So he took a walk one fine day and jumped . Ending the misery for himself and for those who followed. Now as per our religion this is unacceptable . But the crux of the matter is that what this gentleman showed that he had still the honesty left in him to at least feel the shame. Now I frankly don’t know whether he was guilty or not but the fact remains his people made him realized in a hard manner the mistakes he did and he also had the shame in him to feel it ; not just denying it for ever.

Okay! There would be conspiracy theories behind it like maybe some hidden hand has pushed him of the cliff . But at the end there was some repentance self inflicted or otherwise.

Coming to our motherland Pakistan . I hope our patriotic curroptomaniac leaders have read this news and taken a note from it . I am not suggesting that any one go and suicide themselves but at least feel the shame and stop from tricking the people of Pakistan again and again as we know that thanks to the hard work of the people of Pakistan you guys are becoming rich by the second and the poor of the country becomes poorer. I am sure if Roh Moo was some Rahim Chaudhary/Khan/Soomro etc. ( Disclaimer : this name is just for giving an example . Any resemblance to any one is just a co-incidence and should not be taken legally) of Pakistan he would not have gone to those extents . Rather would have come out of jail after being accused or ripping of Pakistan for Billions and would have gotten elected with an overwhelming majority in the next elections. The villlian would have easily become a victim in Pakistan and the victim could be the next President or Prime Minister or Chief Minister or so on……

The question is that we should learn closely from this example what is the motivation behind. Was the civil society ultra active in South Korea? Was it the judiciary or the establishment ? or Was it the ethics in the heart of this politician? I am sure the resultant was not an isolated effort but a combined sense of responsibility on part of each member of the South Korean society.

I wish that our leaders take a leaf from the other democracies of the world whom they cherish so much and exemplify and some one step forward and say that I made a mistake and not only that I am sorry for it but I do not deserve this responsibility as well and fade away quietly to his drawing room . I am sure with a population of 160 million and a lot of brains around us . If one withdraws with courage ; there would be others to replace him.

Maybe one day we as a nation realize that the choice is not what you have but what you make.

Long Live Pakistan
