The gitter-mitter crowd wants to call “great flooding” as “great floods”.

And the ignorant mullah, (and we have at least one resident ignorant mullah) who wants to call it the wrath of god (yes, with a small “g’, as the big “G” does not do this.)

So, there you have it.

Good, honest, decent and hardworking Pakistanis slammed from both sides.

These so called “liberals” do not want you to speak up in their “serious policy discussions” and the ignorant mullah does not want you to speak up in “his” masjid.

Both wrong. And both do not want to be called out for their wrongs.

One unleashes the force of the state, the other the mob with “god’s” help!

Good and ordinary Pakistanis are held hostage to the madness of these self proclaimed “liberals” and these self proclaimed “deen-dars”. Neither knows the core principles and neither values the core beliefs.

And I cannot seem to get off my soapbox!

Whayyy, kisss “serious policy discussions” dey talk kardan ehn You?

[Sultan Raho off]

Could this be how, “I-Slammed-Everyone-Else-Abad” is great and how to make it even better? Or how Lahore can rob more resources? Or how Karachi can suck away wind from rest of the nation?

Wait, wait, wait, I got it. We have to help the poor by spending billions on major projects!

Yep, those “contracts” are needed to line up pockets and bank accounts. This circus has been going on since 1948!

Or is it how, Mai Jori Jamali’s mother “traveled” two miles to get water, and how she “travels” two miles to get water, and how her daughter will “travel” two miles to get water?

Oh the haughtiness of the haughty!

I wish I could say I am stupefied at this post. I am not. This is a reflection of what is wrong with Pakistan. The thinking of the “gitter-mitter” crowd. They want Mai Jori Jamali and Shazia Mashi to bow on their altar.

And stay bowed.

Yes, master, please do mess up our lives, blame us for being uneducated, blame us for having children (population growth). And yes master, your screw ups are not your screw ups, they are a blessing to Pakistanis. Yes, master, you have been sent upon us from heaven. Yes master, you can pee on us and call it a rain. And yes, master, if you pee on us even more, call it “great floods”.

I know some will claim,well, this NGO is doing this and that. And this group is doing this and that for the people. And this blog is doing this and that for Pakistan.

Well, it is not fast enough. It is not good enough. It is not big enough. And if you will live in the 3 big cities, not matter what you will say you are doing, it is not fair enough.

There are mothers who do not sleep through the night whose children are deprived of simple Aspirin.

There are fathers who are carrying their children for miles so that they can get to the nearest doctor.

And in the 3 cities, the glamor, the lights, the shiny cars.

This is not sustainable.

The soapbox.

Yes, get the soapbox everyone. Say it out loud. Say it out clear. Say it out again and again, until, civility and respect for humanity prevails. Get on your soapboxes and demand for jury boxes. Get on your soapboxes and demand for ballot boxes. Again and again. And, again and again.

It is a process and it has to be started. It will be uncomfortable. There will be mistakes. Rome was not built in one day. And the gitter-mitter crowd will not come to these sense in one day either.

The give and take of the process will educate everyone what is the right way of expression and what is the wrong way of expression.

Pakistanis are good people. Pakistanis are honest people. Pakistanis are hardworking people. Pakistanis are decent people.

And you be happy and be proud that you hear from Pakistanis. Pakistanis who love Pakistan. Pakistanis who care about Pakistan. Pakistanis who want to live in peace. Pakistanis who want security. Pakistani who want dignity.

Because, as these words are in black and white, there are enemies of Pakistan who wish Pakistan so bad, you do not want to even think about it.

To the soapboxes everyone!
