Criminals are not afraid of law enforcement authorities in Sindh...

What are these guys doing? Providing Law and Order I guess...
With such an impressive number of police officers one would imagine that people in their areas enjoy excellent law and order. One would expect that no body is looted on the way by persons on mobikes or even cars as it happens in Karachi, no mobiles or valuables are snatched and no body comes knocking on the door with weapons nor any body dare kidnap any one for ransom.

One expects the criminals to be scared to death of law and its enforcement. When one is afraid of the consequences one is afraid to do a crime. When no one is scared all hell breaks loose and that is what has happened in Sindh. So what are these guys doing here?

The way they enjoy life for supposedly providing security to the people is enviable. You see police officers going about in luxury Land Cruisers enjoying all the perks that a Government job provides. But are they doing any thing? Are they earning it? Do they deserve it? They can have all that if they are delivering. If not that guy sitting in the middle in this picture, chairing the meeting, must pull them up as a good commander or chief executive.

Their job is to provide law and order of the best kind. They are getting paid for it. Are they providing even the lowest level of security to the man on the street or at home, one wonders. My experience is entirely different in Karachi for instance. I have yet to find a person male or female in Karachi who does not have a story of woe, of theft, dacoity, hold up at gunpoint, being looted on the way, going to mosque or returning from it, going for a walk in the park or just doing any thing any where, going for shopping etc. etc. He or she is at huge risk. In front of a gun anybody is helpless.

No body is safe any where. Who is next no one knows. You just keep praying for safe return home. And any time you could have a knock at the door of men with guns. All the time you hear or read so and so has been kidnapped for ransom and what terrible consequences have befallen them? If you are a resident of Karachi or Sindh you will testify to every single word you are reading here. Is this what these gentlemen in uniform are being paid for? Yes Sir that is what they are giving to the people of Karachi and Sindh whose taxes are paying for their luxuries.

Even a lay man can think what all can be done. Rest later, time permitting.

You don't give in like this Mr. President... You are encouraging the terrorists by not punishing them but rewarding them...

The Parliament has rewarded those who fought The State...
It is a terrible precedent. You see there are always views on any subject for or against. Civilised way is to sit down and talk within legal norms. Educated people do it. Educated nations do it. But these guys forced you to do it by knife at your throat. Where is democracy? It is fear Sir, fear. It is terror. Terror all over. Do the people want it? No. Never. Their views were never taken. There was no referendum. This was injustice on the innocent and lovely people of Swat.

The legisators and government could not govern and caved in. There was not even a formal debate on it. So much on our quality of legilators and our democracy. You have shattered the last hope Mr. President. It is all gone. You have condoned the blowing up of 300 schools. Jamath e Islami's Mr. Liaquath Baloch says only 174 schools were blown up. As if that is not enough. No body is apprehended and punished for the destruction deaths and murder - cold blooded murder.

Now it is only a matter of time before the entire country will be engulfed with fire. They are hard core terrorists. We have seen the so called Sharia in Saudi Arabia. Does one want to follow them? Now the prayer timings will change daily and the shops will close down regardless of the inconvenience to any body. If somebody dies for petrol because the station is closed for prayers, so be it .  This is their brand of Islam. We Pakistanis are more advanced and a civilised nation not like some bedouin in the deserts of Najd.

They will never un-arm themselves. Just not showing weapons in open is not un-arming. Sorry, me a law abiding person who believes and lives by rule of law will not take it Sir. I want Sharia as evolved over 1,400 years not the raw Najadi doctrine as is being trying to be imposed. This is all the handiwork of the hollow and the shallow who have no understanding of Islam. As the saying goes. Aqal badi ya bhains? They say obviously Bhains (Brain is bigger or buffalo, buffalo of course).

If it was through a democratic process I would have taken it. But not like this. Who are these partially literate people to dictate to The State and people of Pakistan? Was there a referendum? No. Every one is scared, nothing else. See the girl who was flogged in public, had not the courage to own it. The family knows the consequences. Every single person is terrified. On top of it the guys the so called religious people are supporting it for "peace". 

You were not supposed to sue for peace but defeat them Sir. They should have been forced to lay down their arms, had the luxury of a fair trial and sentenced as per law for killings and blowing up of schools and the people's infrastructure. Who is going to rebuild it? Who is going to pay for it. We, so that they blow it up again.

This is the worst thing that has happened in 60 years. Pakistan is already the only Muslim country to have Sharia as the source of law. Now why do we need to be taught law by these people? Are they any example to be followed? No. They are killers. We want the Aswae Hasna of our beloved prophet PBH. Did he kill any one? Never. These hard core terrorists can't even come close to demand sharia which is already there. They do not understand Islam nor the local and world issues.

It is just another way of usurping power, give dictates and satify their "ana" personal desire and glory. I would blame the media for acquiescing under pressure and not standing up to them. Channels like Waqth News, guys like Hamid Mir and that Waheed Hussain (of Waqth News) and the entire JI crowd the like who promote terrorism by siding with them one way or the other. 

Not criticising the terrorist is like aiding and abetting them with silence. And all those who sided the gun weilding terrorists of Lal Masjid must be held accountable. Instead of demonising the likes of Lal Masjid armed residents they glorify them. They are doing the same now. Allah only save Pakistan now. Amen. Summa Amen.
