Happy Independence Day

Submitted by admin on August 13, 2010 – 9:05 pm4 Comments

A somber celebration with incredible misery being visited on our motherland. Fault lies with each one of us and none of us can be excused. Our ancestors gave us this land, unified us in the name of Islam, they gave us a land and asked us to make it work. We and our elders failed miserably. Whatever and whoever conspired against us is irrelevent, we and only we can fix our condition. I suggest on this day and in light of holy month of Ramadan, we ask God’s forgiveness and start reflecting on our condition. For starter I will suggest each one of us forget what are our rights and start doing our duties toward others. Forgive and forget all transgression against each other and lets start a new beginning. Be kind and caring toward our minorities as they are our responsibility and for once and all renounce all extremism.

As Iqbal said;

Fitrat afrad say tu kar laiti hai aghmaz
Magar kabhi millat kay gunahoo ko muaf nahi karti

Long Live Pakistan
Pakistan Zindabad

Lest We Forget

Now am not a big fan of NS but gotta give him credit where due, he has come up with good plan and supporting govt institution. If the commission with following name comes up, I wil donate to it. Really like what he said abt not begging for help. If anyone living in west had occassion to read the comments on all dailies and blogs they will see a vast majority in west elated and joyous on misery visiting Pak. I would rather die then accept money from them.

Dawn: Gilani accepts Nawaz proposal on relief panel

Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and PML-N chief Mian Nawaz Sharif agreed on Saturday to set up a ‘credible national body comprising men of integrity’ to ensure transparency in the collection, management and distribution of relief funds among the flood-affected.

Mr Sharif said it was gratifying for him that Mr Gilani had accepted his proposal regarding the commission.

Mr Gilani hinted at the names of the likes of retired justices Rana Bhagwandas, Fakhruddin G. Ebrahim and Nasir Aslam Zahid to be nominated after getting their acceptance.

The PML-N chief said he had witnessed the “unprecedented devastation” caused by the floods, adding that there was a need to unite the nation.

He said he along with the prime minister would tour the entire country to raise funds without waiting for the international assistance.

“We will not beg the world to come and help us. If any country wishes to extend help it may do so, but we have the ability to handle the calamity on our own,” he added.

The PML-N chief said he had witnessed the “unprecedented devastation” caused by the floods, adding that there was a need to unite the nation.

Mr Sharif said names recommended for the fundraising body included Justice Rana Bhagwan Das, Justice Fakhruddin G. Ibrahim, Dr Adeeb Rizvi, Mehmood Khan Achakzai and Ali Ahmed Kurd.

I agree on all names except Kurd
What honest background he has….He change his loyalties when his names were not accepted by CJ.

NS is shrewed enough to include all the honest names known for easy going attitude.
Wheres no non-sense type Justice Wajihuldin.
