The headline is actually a tweet that has been floating around since the attack on Mehran Naval Aviation Base in Karachi two days ago. As far as I can tell it originated from @thekarachikid. Short. Pithy. Poignant. Depicting a truth that Pakistanis can feel in their bones.
The power of the statement is that the sentiment requires no elaboration. However, it does invite introspection. And, maybe, one question: Everyday in Pakistan does now feel like 9/11. 26/11 and 7/7; but what about the day after everyday? Do Pakistanis react to the day after everyday, the way others reacted to 9/11. 26/11 and 7/7? If not, then why not?
Alas…..!!
Our leasers do not recognise the importance of a life and thats it!!!!
We must think that by just lying down in front of US will not help us….. one must think…their one 9/11 has created 9/11 for millions of muslims,and specially for Pakistanis everyday… Our leaders are disasters… they must think..all Meer Jafars & Meer Sadiqs have same end, their money never is for them at the end.. We need prayers, Istighfar and sincerety on individual basis…INSHALLAH a bright day will come soon..
History tests nations. This is our test. I hope we will rise to the challenge and emerge as a united nation out of this.
