Pakistan came into being on August 14, 1947, on September 11, 1948 Mr. Jinnah passed away. Just after six months of his death on March 12, 1949 Objective Resolution was passed, literally it buried Jinnah’s legacy and initiated unchecked authority of mullas in Pakistan.
After it in every development in political corridors of our country, our mulla had a stake and an opinion. It blocked land reforms by calling it un-islamic, it exploited religion to serve its masters whether they were military rulers or elected one. It supported killings of innocent Bengalis in 1971 by justifying it from religion. Even today many atrocities and rape allegation are present against our army and religious military units.
During Bhutto’s government it compelled it to declare Ahmadis as non-Muslims, Bhutto did it thinking of getting support in return, which was offered to him by portraying him as being solver of 90 years old problem. But sadly had these mullas shown little loyalty to that great solver he would never had been hanged.
In Zia’s era, mulla got the best opportunity that any clergy has got in history to fulfill its dream of Islamization. But sadly it produced nothing but a militant and bigot society, which pursued Jihad in which many religious opponents and innocents were also killed. They helped Zia in terrorizing Indians and blackmailing them by nuclear weapons.
After Zia’s death they saw new horizon of their Jihad because they felt Soviet Union collapsed due to their successful Jihad. But every step that they took put Muslims into more trouble. Had they been successful in helping Afghanistan, millions would not have left and thousands would not have died after Najibullah’s government.
Today just because of their intolerant and barbaric interpretation of Islam, the people who were seen as narrow minded in past are now privileged by their people to legislate to ban hijab in West. Today our World has become most insecure after WWII.
All above happenings compelled me to say that mulla had a very active role in whatever happened in our national life. Nothing happened that our mulla has opposed to, even smart politicians like Bhutto were unable to turn-down their demands, wherever we are standing today, it is with consent of mulla, in fact a result of whatever our mulla wanted. Then why the hell they cry in mosques and in their televised sessions, where they ask their listeners to pray for forgiveness. Can they tell us what sins we as nation did that today we are the most destroyed nation.
Whenever you put this question to a mulla, their reply is that the only solution is to enforce Sharia. Didn’t they get chances in past to enforce Sharia, which Israeli or US agent stopped them from doing anything. Why didn’t they impress our nation to turn into a nation immersed in love of Sharia. Fact is they never struggle for anything good in the name of religion, all their commitments and actions were meant to grab a political and social authority. Time did give them what they wanted but they have failed this country every time and on every point in history.
If we had a communist or socialist or a pure capitalist government, we would have been correct in saying that it is all because the system is wrong. But there was nothing wrong with the system, we always kept modifying it whenever a mulla got out on roads with angered mobs. We declared Ahamdis as non-Muslims, made Friday off, banned alcohal, made hudood ordinance, made blasphemy law, disgraced Dr Abdus Salam by not letting him epitaph of his choice, accepted Swat agreement. We did almost everything that our mullas asked us to do, even then they are angry with the literate class of this country for being pro-secular and pre-democratic and anti-Islam.
Our mulla has got taste of political power under the patronage of our State, whenever it names Sharia as the only solution, it means nothing but just to throw away responsibility of the great mess that we have arrived at in our national life.
I don’t oppose Sharia, in fact I support every solution that can help my country. But to me our society is into so much depth of ignorance and lawlessness that our national attitude will only put a bad name on Sharia. We will be out to behead and cut hands of our opponents on false allegations. In fact after those abundant fatwas of infidels against different sects, I don’t think we as nation will have anything less than a civil war in our country if Sharia is enforced.
So to all mullas, in last 100 years whoever and whenever somebody followed you, he got failed and embarrassed at the hands of their opponents. And whoever dared to get this nation out of trouble, he met with you aggression and fatwas of being infidel and wajib-ul-qatl. Whether it was Sir Syed Ahmad Khan, Jinnah, Attaturk or anyone. I believe Jinnah was fortunate enough to get opposition from you, had it been opposite he would have never achieved Pakistan.
And for those who want any betterment in Pakistan, please don’t let these mullas decide or affect anything. As long as we have Rehmat ul lil Alameen (P.B.U.H.) as our guider, we don’t need any mulla who orders beheadings, floggings, kidnap for ransom, and reward for killing accused like Aasia bibi.
