I have been closely observing how rigid and forgetful as a nation are we. It has been hardly over a month since 'Sanehai 22 August' and everyone has completely forgotten what happened. I remember 23rd August and the days after the event. From social media to the TV lounge of my own home, everyone chanted Pakistan Zindabad and suddenly for sometime I felt like we had acquired freedom once again. Though I couldn't make out from whom and how have we acquired this freedom, but I felt the rush of patriotism like never before. I feared that our normal day greetings would end with 'Appna Khayal Rakhna Shoaib' 'tum bhi apna khayal rakhna Maira' 'Allah Hafiz... aur haan Pakistan Zindabad'
God. I am not against Pakistan. I love my country and I am patriot myself but where is all the patriotism now? What happened on 22nd August? My focus is not even on the right or wrong, but through this event, the only man I saw suffering was Aamir Liaquat. He was surely torn apart. I couldn't accept anyone who call him a 'fraud' at that time. I remember the months he stood for MQM. I remember how he had recklessly dealt with his already booming career, just for the Muhajir people and the sinking party. He not only became the fresh face of MQM but he also fought for the rights of party and considering his talkshows after he quit, it really felt he did put a lot of effort while trying to bridge gaps.
Dear Aamir Sahib! Kyun Pareshaan Hotay Ho? Don't worry. This nation does not remember what happened on 22nd August, it does not remember a lot of things, like APS attack, Balochistan issues, bomb blasts, kasur rape victims; how do you expect them to remember or encourage your effort and sincerity? How do you expect them to praise you honesty and the time you wasted with people who do not deserve you? They will abuse you because they are not as honest and as pure hearted as you. Things will change in the coming years and I see Mr Aamir somewhere at the top, but somebody tell that man, Dil Na Dukhao, Ye Kisi Ka Kuch Yaad Nahi Rakhtay to Bas Rehne Do...
Yours Truly,
Observer
