This is what Pakistanis have become. They are so freaking
immune to the daily bomb blasts and gun shots that nobody seems to care about
them anymore. Only few of them are going to grief over these terribly tragic
events via Facebook and Twitter and the rest of them, we will see uploading
pictures, statuses or tweeting about how much they are enjoying the watermelons
in summer season. Or how much they love Facebook. Or showing their gratitude to
people who wished them on their birthdays. Or how they hate the cinemas for not
showing Ironman3 until 17th May.
Or talking about how hot is the guy who was deported from Saudi Arab
this Thursday. What they don’t understand is that they might not live for a
year more to be thankful to people who will wish them on their birthdays. Or
that they won’t live for another 20 days to watch Ironman3 in the cinema. Or
they can get brutally shot before having a bite of their succulent fruits.
People are so busy with their happiness that they seem to forget that sorrows
can knock on their door and in the blink of their eye could snatch their
happiness from them forever.
I woke up to today to hear that another Sharukh Jatoi
brutally shot another Shahzaib Khan just because latter was trying to stop him
from harassing his girl-friend. Hamza Ahmed was shot to dead by the guard of
his schoolmate just because of a fight over his girl-friend. 4 months ago a
brother, Shahzaib Khan, was shot dead because he raised his voice against the harassment
of his sister. Yesterday it was sister, today it was a friend and tomorrow it
could be a mother. Is this is what is going to happen? Are we all going to be murdered because of
raising voice against something evil? Or wait a second, we won’t be murdered.
And guess why? Because we are not going to stand against them, we are going to
sit and watch the play until it hit one of us. We are going to watch it as a
play on television until we hear somebody we know died because of trying to
bring a change.
We should stop enjoying these shows and should stand up
against this. Just a status or a tweet
doesn’t work. We should stand up and protest against it. But not like we did
for Shahzaib Khan. His case is still isn’t solved. It is still in the court.
The eyewitness are withdrawing from their statements against Sharukh Jatoi. And
obviously someone is there forcing them to withdraw. He still hasn’t received
justice. His family or Hamza’s family or anyone’s family who has gone through
any kind of injustice wouldn’t be able to live again until their loved ones don’t
get justice.
We shouldn’t wait for the Chief Justice to take any action. We
can’t rely on him anymore. It is the time we should step out of our house and
do something. We are the youth, the people. We are Pakistanis and no one else
would give justice to us other than us. Let’s get united for the sake of
Pakistan. Let’s get united for Justice. Let’s get united for Hamza Ahmed. Let’s
get united for US.
