Pakistan without Iqbal was nothing

RANA LATIF/KHALID MALIK

LAHORE – Speakers at a function held in connection with the 132nd birthday of Allama Muhammad Iqbal on Monday said Iqbal gave the message of hope and to rise from the present subservient status to become a self-reliant and self-respecting nation, which should be capable of leading the Muslims world with qualities of determination, self-accountability, reformation, knowledge and research.

They also called for following Iqbal as his thoughts were derived from the Holy Quran that was the final divine script for guidance of mankind.

Ex-Amir Jamaat-e-Islami Qazi Hussain Ahmad presided over the gathering, which was organised by Nazria Pakistan Trust (NPT) in collaboration with Tehrik-e-Pakistan Workers Trust at Aiwan-e-Karkunan Tehrik-e-Pakistan, while Chairman NPT Majid Nizami, PML-N Information Secretary Ahsan Iqbal, Prof Fateh Mohammad Malik, Bushra Rehman MNA, Dr Rafique Ahmad, Prof Dr Akram Ikram Shah and Allama Ahmed Ali Kasuri.

Speaking at the function, Qazi Hussain urged the people to have faith in Allah and devote their lives to the Holy Prophet (PBUH).  He also listed study of Quran and jihad as the yardsticks with which the believers could overcome their individual and collective odds and rise as a determined strong nation.  He said the believers, however, discarded the true path and went into oblivion. “We have to break the shackles of America that has occupied us and must safeguard Pakistan like a mosque.”

Qazi said Pakistan without Iqbal was nothing. It was for that reason some hidden hands were conspiring to establish that Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah was secular and were quoting his 11th August 1948 speech to prove their notion in which he had assured the minorities of full protection, he added.

Referring to such elements, he went on to say that they forgot about equality and justice for every citizen was also guaranteed in the Constitution according to the vision great Quaid, adding that Quaid was being interpreted erroneously as dozens of other speeches had been forgotten in which Quaid had mentioned Islam and Quran being the guiding force of the polity. “Quaid wanted Pakistan as an Islamic, democratic and welfare state,” he remarked.

He also pointed to the conspiracies against the two-nation theory to keep people away from Iqbal’s thoughts. Accusing the country’s leadership of insincerity, he said the rulers wanted to alienate the citizens from the path prescribed by Iqbal and the Quaid.

Rehman Malik announced to pay for IIUI Victim

The International Islamic University, Islamabad (IIUI) has welcomed Interior Minister Rehman Malik’s announcement to pay an amount of Rs. One Million to Parvaiz Masih who laid his life in saving lives of hundreds of female students at the university Cafeteria on October 20, 2009.

A statement issued by Dr. Anwar Hussain Siddiqui, President IIUI has appreciated Rehman Malik’s announcement in following words. “Newspapers have carried Rehman Malik’s laudable announcement that Pervaiz Masih, one of our Janitors, who sacrificed his life in stopping the suicidal bomber outside the Women’s Cafeteria, will be paid one million rupees and that his son will be provided a job in the Police. I am most grateful to you for this timely announcement. However, the deceased has left one young widow and an infant daughter as his progeny. We will find ways of helping the widow and the young daughter with the generous grant you have announced. The employees of the University and students are also doing their best to raise funds for supporting the families of the deceased and the injured girls as far as possible.”

Dr. Anwar Siddiqui added; “This is also to bring to your kind attention that one of our Security Guards Shaukat, who tried to intercept the suicide bomber first, was shot at by the miscreant in the abdomen and is seriously injured. We have recommended to the Government to award the deceased Pervaiz Masih as well as the Security Guard – Shaukat the Gallantry Award. I hope you will also announce suitable compensation to the injured Security Guard, Shaukat.”

Dr. Siddiqui also asked the government to compensate male & female students who martyred or injured. He said; “It is also brought to your kind attention that five of our female students died in the aftermath of the blast at the cafeteria and two of our male students died in the second blast at Shariah Deptt. About 35 girls were injured and hospitalized in the three nearby hospitals (PIMS, Atomic Energy Hospital and NESCOM Hospital). Two of the seriously injured girls are still admitted in PIMS Intensive Care Unit and two of the boys are admitted in the Burn Unit. Similarly two of our seriously injured girls have been shifted to Shifa International Hospital. It is, therefore, requested that the families of the 7 deceased female and male students as well as the families of 35 injured students may also be compensated by the Government as is done these days in all such cases of suicidal bombings and bomb blasts. Your kind attention and gesture in this regard will be highly appreciated by the students of the University as well as the people at large.”

IIUI victims- No compensation Why?

The International Islamic University Islamabad was a target of  two  cruel bomb blasts on Oct 20,2009 killing 8 and injuring  about 30 students and staff members. The top brass of government expressed their grief over the tragic incident. It was an encouragement for  bereaved families but there was no financial support for them at all.

The university  is bearing all expenses of  treatment of  victims. It is very strange that government has not announced any compensation for families of martyrs  and injured  students and employees. One example of  an IIUI sweeper Pervez Masih may be quoted here who laid his own life and saved  hundreds of innocent female students as he successfully stopped  the suicide bomber to enter the main hall of the cafeteria. His family is living in very miserable condition because  of his death. Although the University has offered his widow an employment but it is not enough. The government should  compensate  his family as well as  other  bereaved families.

This is being done all over the country and the government should not  deprive IIUI victims of this support. Hopefully the authorities would take an immediate action in this regard. Our country is known world over for philanthropy as it was in 2005 Earthquake when a think tank of USA openly admitted that Pakistanis were far ahead of them in helping  needy persons although USA always claims to be pioneer in this field. Now the community should also come forward  to help IIUI victims. Media channels (Print and Electronic) should also play their role.

Understanding the Bizarre Trend of Suicide Bombings

By Jawwad Khan

Recent suicide bombings in Pakistan is quite a new phenomenon. It is often related with hatred against American invasions and atrocities. One of the most bizarre and incomprehensible thing is its scale and its continuity and especially geo-political scenario. I was skeptical about this since beginning. There are many aspects of methodology of suicide bombings which does not make sense, for example suicide attacks at Islamic university.

The targets of suicide bombers are telling us that some thing fishy is going on. My mind frequently asks one question why common men? Why not the out spoken liberals, why religious leaders and institutions why not the TV stations, cat walk and other fashion shows, why clerics, why not deviants like Javed Ghamidi and Dr. Khalid Zaheer, why Pakistani army, why not Blackwater (Xe).

The answer was not easy. I kept searching and searching till I got some thing which makes perfect sense to me. The answer was “CIA AND OVERT MIND CONTROL PROGRAMMES,” and I found that CIA has a long history of these kinds of black projects. I found that CIA is much more advanced than one could possibly imagine.

The mechanics of mind control is a difficult subject. Fortunately, there are brilliant minds including well known scientists, scholars and researchers within the United States of America who first revealed some shocking details and possibilities of extremely disgusting and inhumane ambitions and secret projects of the United States government.

One of those minds is Dr. Armen Victorian who is British researcher and writer. He has been conducting research into mind control, intelligence, and other related topics for many years. He is currently campaigning with the Red Cross and various human rights organisations to curb use of the latest range of weapons, and to prevent even further damage and suffering.

Following refrences are taken from his valuable work “the mind controller”. Its really interesting to read it.

“One of the main areas to be investigated by the CIA was mind control. Many other branches of the government took part in the study of this area. Under the protection of ‘national security’, these branches embarked on a wide range of macabre programs, including assassination squads, brain washing programs, civilian spying, drug trafficking, illegal arms sales, fomenting civil wars, and toppling foreign governments.

The initial CIA mind control projects brought encouraging results. One team was determined to create a ‘truth serum‘. A number of Nazi chemical specialists (brought into the US via Operation Paperclip) began to work closely with the American secret services. They worked from American laboratories, developing poison and nerve gases, despite their active and known involvement in the Holocaust.

In 1977, an important MKULTRA administrator was taken before a Senate hearing to answer important questions about CIA mind control projects. He revealed that the CIA had indeed funded a series of such operations. The programs were code named MKULTRA, MKACTION, MKNAOMI, ARTICHOKE, and BLUEBIRD, which involved people being used as guinea pigs in mind experiments. Many subjects lost their sanity and at least two people died. P. 11, 12

1954 was the height of Project ARTICHOKE’s attempt to use hypnosis to ‘program’ an assassin. The Agency [CIA] had discovered that “a posthypnotic suggestion is believed to remain effective for several months, and for years if periodically reinforced.”

J.G. Watkins “induced a soldier to strike a superior officer by suggesting that the officer was a Japanese soldier.” He obtained from a hypnotized WAC “information classified secret that she had previously told him she would not reveal.” Two subjects who were told to throw sulphuric acid at a laboratory assistant (protected by glass) complied with the hypnotist’s commands. P. Janet asked a deeply hypnotized female to commit several murders before a distinguished group of judges, stabbing some victims with rubber daggers and poisoning others with sugar tablets. The hypnotized subject did all these without hesitation. P. 158, 160

Remote hypnosis was also studied. One of the special projects that the CIA has never officially admitted involved the use of a Stimoceiver to induce a hypnotic state. The nasal cavity and the ear were generally used for implantation. Former FBI agent, Arthur J. Ford, who left the Bureau to become a journalist under the name of Lincoln Lawrence, was the first to reveal this in his 1965 book Were we Controlled?

According to a CIA source, a subject could also carry out orders for his or her personal destruction. This was usually done at the completion of a mission for which the subject was initially programmed. If the subject becomes a liability, the ‘self-destruction’ mechanism could be triggered before completion of the main task. The method would leave behind no clue for enemy investigators.

Terrorist Attacks on Islamic University of Islamabad

Yesterday, on the 20th of October, 2009, the International Islamic
University Islamabad, H-10 Campus was struck by two separate terror
attacks.

The first attack took place at around 3:15 p.m. when a suicide bomber
blew himself up at the door of the International Café in the Women’s
Campus of the University. The attacker was dressed in a ‘burqa’ and
was wearing ladies shoes. Our security guard Mr. Shoukat present at
duty on the main entrance stopped him from entering the building, at
which he shot Mr. Shoukat in the rear abdomen and ran towards the
dining hall of the café. He was again stopped by Mr. Pervaiz Masih, a
worker in the café, at which he blew himself up.

As a result of this attack, two students, Miss Sidra Khalid and Miss
Amna Tahir died on the spot, along with Pervaiz Masih. Another 35
students were injured in the blast, along with one male and one female
worker at the café. Out of the injured, Miss Hina d/o Sikandar, who
was critically injured, passed away at the PAEC hospital last night.
Were in not for the bravery of the two university staff mentioned
above, the damage would have been significantly greater as more than
300 girls were there for lunch at the time in the dining hall.

The second attack took place approximately 2 minutes later in front of
the office of the Chairman, Department of Shariah, Professor Dr.
Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq. This was in the gallery of the first floor in
Faculty of Shariah & Law located in Imam Abu Hanifa Block.
Fortunately, Dr. Zia-ul-Haq had left his office 15 minutes prior to
the attack.

As a result of this attack, two students of the Arabic department, Mr.
Khalil-ur-Rehman and Mr. Hafiz Nafees died on the sport. Three other
persons, Mr. Waqar, Mr. Zia-ud-Din and Mr. Muneer Hussain Anjum were
injured. Mr. Muneer has been discharged from the hospital after
receiving treatment, while the other two are still under treatment in
the hospital.

The International Islamic University had received no prior threat, or
warning regarding this attack, either verbally or in writing from any
organization. There was no prior instruction from any governmental
organization regarding a security threat to the University. The
University administration, on their own initiative and in light of the
prevailing situation in the country, had started screening of all
vehicles and persons entering the University. However, the area of the
University ranging 704 acres lacks a boundary wall, or the type of
security normally seen at security installations. The University had
already submitted a project to the HEC/Federal Government to provide
necessary funds for the completion of the boundary wall. This is a
large project that would cost hundred of millions of rupees.

The Rector, President, and the staff of the University wish to express
their deep sorrow and anguish over these attacks, and express their
condolences to the families of those who were martyred in this most
shameful attack on this seat of Islamic learning. The staff and
students of the University are resolute in their courage in the face
of this cowardly attack and we wish to express our gratitude to all
those, including our students, staff, emergency, and medical services,
who have served above their call of duty in this hour of need. The
University has been temporarily closed for the next few days, until
the 24th October, 2009 as a mark of respect for those martyred in
these attacks, but Insha-Allah we will soon resume classes. The acts
of terror will not be allowed to defeat the mission of this
University. We ask the nation for their help and prayers in this time
of need.

Srinagar Boy Who Kept His Faith For Kashmir and Pakistan

Jinnah handed over the flag to this boy from Srinagar at one point in time and he returned it back with a country. Jinnah needed him then and Kashmiris are in search of such minds now, Imtiyaz Ahmad profiles K. H. Khurshid

Quaid-Azam Mohammed Ali Jinnah is believed to have said that the creation of Pakistan was made by him, his typewriter and his private secretary. Who is this private secretary Quaid-Azam talks about? This person is a local Srinagar boy handpicked by none other than Mohammed Ali Jinnah himself during a visit made by him to this part of the world. The name of the boy was K.H.khurshid who for years remains a close confidant of the founder of the Pakistan.

Khurshid went on to become the first elected president of Pakistani side of Kashmir, led a meaningful political life with indellibel impressions of his mentor’s teachings. He possessed a unique quality to tackle his adversaries with wit and logic. His radical stance towards Kashmir issue won him hardships. With his untimely death, in a road accident, was closed an important chapter in the history, not only of Kashmir but Pakistan as well.

K. H. Khurshid was born in l924 in Srinagar, in an environment where culture and education were given prestigious place. His father, Moulvi Mohammad Hasan, was a teacher. He entered the college at a time of great political tumult and was immediately attracted to the All India Muslim League. With the help of friends, Khurshid launched a campaign to increase political awareness amongst his fraternity. Soon he was able to establish the Kashmir Muslim Students Federation, which attracted a large number of young people. In 1942, he represented Kashmir in the convocation of All India Muslim Students Federation in which Jinnah participated as chief guest. Handing the Muslim Leauge flag to this boy from Srinagar Jinnah Uttered, “Keep it, it’s ours“.

At 19, Khurshid took his Bachelors examination from Amar Singh College, Srinagar, in Mathematics and Economics. Sensing that Mr Lobo, Jinnah’s private secretary, was having trouble with the translations of Jinnah’s English speeches into Urdu, Khurshid offered help. The Quaid appreciated the young man’s dedication and gave him his first assignment.

During Mr Jinnah’s stay in Srinagar, Khurshid interacted regularly with the Quaid with the result that the latter made a great and deep impression upon him. Khurshid learnt to be brutally frank from his mentor. Next, the Quaid asked Khurshid to accompany him on a visit to Bombay. Khurshid’s father was reluctant to let his son go, for he apprehended that it might adversely affect his son’s career. “Don’t worry, I will take care of his future”, the Quaid-Azam is told Khurshid’s anxious father. This was a commitment, which was honoured by Mr. Jinnah and after him by his sister who sent Khurshid to Lincoln’s Inn to study for the Bar.

The Quaid knew that Khurshid had a good understanding of the political situation in Kashmir. That is why he sent him to meet Sheikh Abdullah. But fate had something else in store for him. He was taken prisoner by the then Kashmir government. This upset Mr Jinnah tremendously. Quaid-Azam in this regard wrote to Pandit Nehru, “My work is suffering greatly and I want Khurshid back.” However this wish of Quaid-Azam remained unfulfilled and it was after continuous agitation by Fatima Jinnah, the sister of Quaid-Azam, that Khurshid was released after thirteen months of imprisonment.

Grieved by the death of his leader, Khurshid quit politics straight away. Thereafter, seen in a different but equally important role: he founded a daily newspaper The Guardian with the help of his friend Aziz Baig. This newspaper couldn’t survive for long and had to be closed down. Following Jinnah’s death, Fatima Jinnah took on the role of guide for Khurshid. She financed his education in England.

Khurshid’s political career in Azad Kashmir, first as its president and later as an opposition leader, was an important chapter in his life. His contribution to the Kashmir issue was tremendous; he gave voice to the Kashmiri people and drafted a track for the future. His career as the president of Azad Kashmir again reflects the personality of his mentor. He spent his time in office working just as the Quaid would have done: start at 8 a.m. and work till the last file had been seen. His life was devoted for securing the rights of the people, be it Kashmir or Pakistan. He always challenged the military rulers of Pakistan who made blunders during their unlawful rule over the country. He would never accept any unlawful act by the political rulers in Azad Jammu Kashmir . His life was fully devoted to the cause of freedom of the people of Jammu Kashmir.

The K-issue took backseat during Shimla Accord in seventies, however, Khurshid kept raising his concerns about the issue and came up with a prediction that one day the youth from the Indian held Kashmir would rise for the liberation of their land and it would be then up to the Azad Jammu Kashmir government to play its role. This Prophecy of Khurshid certainly came true in late eighties when an armed struggle erupted in valley which continues till date.

Throughout the 64 years of his life, Khurshid remained unwavering in his commitment. He had learnt the lesson from Mr Jinnah only too well. However K. H. Khurshid’s accidental death while travelling on a transport coach marked an end of a chapter of the making of Pakistan. K.H. Khurshid died travelling in a public bus to Lahore on a rainy night in 1988. What surprised everyone was not the accident that had killed him at a crucial point in Kashmir struggle for dignity and recognition but that the man who had been the Quaid-i-Azam’s chosen private secretary through the history-making years 1944 to 1947 was travelling in an ordinary bus with the same ordinary people who had made Pakistan possible. “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith”. These were the lines from the New Testament that were found scribbled in Khurshid’s diary.
