Ms. Asiya Nasir – Christian Member National Assembly (MNA), elected on a reserved seat from NA-322 (Balochistan-III) on an MMA (Mutihada Majlis i Amal; a coalition of religious parties) ticket, interestingly with JUI(F) affiliation – made this hard-hitting and courageous speech on the floor of the Pakistan National Assembly on March 4 before leading a token walk-out of minority and other members from the Assembly on the issue of Shahbaz Bhatti’s assassination.
The speech should be listened in full, not just for its heartfelt passion and its cry of pain, but also because no matter how much you think you know about Pakistan, you are bound to learn things you did not know. Asiya Nasir speaks to us not simply as a Minority or Christian MNA, but as a Pakistani. And it is as a Pakistanis that we must respond.
The 30 year old Asiya Nasir – wife of Nasir Masih and mother of a son and two daughters – has much to say and ask that we really have no response or answers to. But we should all be grateful to her for raising her voice as a Pakistani and asking questions that we have ignored – indeed, hidden – for too long. We are better off today because these questions have been asked.
A brave woman. A brave Pakistani.
Pakistanis will always cry till they realize who is babysitting their children and who is training them to be evil. Mothers are ignoring their duty by sending their fruit of the womb to madrissa to be taught and brainwashed by the mullahs. For some time mothers in Pakistan have given their responsibility to the mullahs of Pakistan.
The wisest man who ever lived said centuries ago, train up a child in the way he should go and he will not depart from it when he is grown.
These 20/30 years old were taught hate and we are reaping the reward of it. Mullahs are happy but mothers and the country is crying. They don’t like their neighbors and were taught to disregard kuwat e akhuwat e awam. There is no muhalladari left. Everyone is in the crossfire of their aim.
They were taught zaberdast cheinlatai hain mangtai nahin. Because they desverve it more than the owner. We are living in the sorry state of affires to the point that our rulers are scared to enforce the law.
All I can say cry my forsaken countrymen cry till you savior takes a stand to set you free from the corruption filled leadership. Till then pray and wait for him.
جناب احسن صاحب ، آپ کی وضاحت کا ممنون ہوں، لیکن آپ کے جواب کے دوسرے حصّے سے متفق نہیں ہوں
شاید نسیم حجازی کے ناولوں میں یہ تصور ملتا ہو لیکن روحانی ور روایات کی کتابوں میں ایسی کوئی چیز میرے علم میں نہیں – اس لئے یہ نقطۂ مزید تحقیق طلب ہے – ممکن ہے آپ کے اے ٹی پی کے پرانے رفقاء اس نقطے پر کچھ روشنی ڈال سکیں
But coming back to the subject of the post, surprisingly, the media in Pakistan, both print and electronic, has not given any publicity to this speech.
محترم مست قلندر صاحب
سلام و آداب
آپ کی بات بالکل صحیح ہے
شمشیر و سناں سے مجاہد کی قوت دو گنی ہوجاتی ہے
لیکن حقیقت یہ ہے کہ
اسکے ایک ہاتھ میں تلوار اور دوسرے ہاتھ میں قرآن – ثنا
ہو
احسن
Notwithstanding the accuracy of her statements/questions, I think this MNA should talk to her own political party first. Why is she representing that party if she feels that way?
