I decided not to celebrate the 14th
August this year, to record my personal grief,
shame and solidarity with the innocent citizens
of Gojra, who were killed , wounded and burnt,
for belonging to the same God, but a different
religion. In my room I will fly the Pakistan
flag at half mast, I will put my TV off, have
none of those “milli naghmey” and sing no
national anthem. I am sad, ashamed and
distressed. I will call up all my Christian
friends to say I am deeply sorry and I
apologise.
I do not wish to celebrate the birthdays of a
land where the Mullahs spread hate from the
minarets of their mosques. Where 20,000 Muslims
unite to kill a few hundred Christian men,
women and children. Where the administration
provides bullet proof vehicles and multi layer
protection to its leaders but will do nothing to
protect the life and property of its ordinary
citizens. I am ashamed that not one person, the
CM, the PM, the Governor or the President
resigned from his job as an admission of
failure to perform their primary duty.
There are plenty of flags, parades, speeches
and ceremonies, but no real sense of guilt,
remorse, or reform. The Dawn newspaper alone
has 24 ‘ad’ nauseam ads, sponsored by the
government departments, with the tax payers’
money, most carrying the pictures of four
members of the same family. All under the garb
of a “Happy Birthday to you, dear Pakistan”.
The theft and plunder of peoples’ money does
not pause for rest, even on the 14th
day of August. Should not a state, at a
minimum, protect the life and property of all
its citizens, to deserve ‘a happy birthday’.
