ابہام یا خوف

ابہام یا خوف

تحریر :عامر  نواز خان *

پاکستان کو اس وقت ریاستی چلینجز میں سے ایک سب سے بڑا چیلنج طالبان ہیں۔ اس میں کوئی شک نہیں پاکستان میں تمام طبقات اور ریاستی اداروں کو دہشت گردی کی جنگ میں بھاری جانی و مالی نقصان سے دوچار ہونا پڑا۔پچھلے دنوں حکیم اللہ کی موت (شہادت لکھنا یا اس پر بات کرنا ایک طویل اور لمبی بحث درکار ہے) پر پاکستان میں نظریاتی تفریق واضح طور پر نظر آئی جہاں شعبہ ہائے زندگی سے تعلق رکھنے والے کچھ افراد نے خوشی کا اظہار کیا جبکہ کچھ لوگ اس پر تزبزب کا شکار نظر آئے۔ ایسے موقع پر جب تمام سیاسی اور دینی جماعتوں کو زمہ دارانہ رویہ اختیار کرنا چاہیے تھا مولانا منور حسن اور مولانا فضل الرحمان کے بیانات نے گویا آگ لگا دی۔ میں نہ تو کوئی صحافی ہوں اور نہ ہی عالمی امور پر جامع دسترس رکھتا ہوں مگر ایک عام پاکستانی ہونے کے سامنے کچھ سوال آپ سب دوستوں کے سامنے رکھنا چاہوں گا۔

- اگر طالبان ہمارے اپنے بھائی ہیں تو پچھلے دس سال کے دوران پاکستانی افراد اور مسلح افواج پر حملے کیوں کیے؟
- اگر یہ مفروضہ بھی مان لیا جائے کہ طالبان یہود و ہنود کی سازش کا حصہ ہیں تو انہیں شہید کہنے کی ضرورت کیوں محسوس ہوئی۔
- اگر طالبان ہمارے اپنے لوگ ہیں تو انہوں نے پاکستان کے دستور سے ہمیشہ انکار کیوں کیا؟
- اگر طالبان ملک دشمن قوتوں کے ہاتھوں میں کھیل رہے ہیں تو ان سے مزاکرات کے لیے اتنی منتیں ترلے کس لیے کئے جا رہے ہیں؟
- حالیہ دنوں میجر جنرل نیازی کی شہادت پر تمام سیاسی جماعتوں نے چپ سادھے رکھی جب کہ حکیم اللہ کی موت پر ایک بھونچال آگیا کیوں؟

میں یقین سے نہیں کہہ سکتا کہ حکومت طالبان کے حوالے سے سنجیدہ ہے یا نہیں مگر ایک بات وقت کے ساتھ واضح ہو رہی ہے کہ تمام دینی جماعتیں اور جمہوری جماعتیں طالبان کے حوالے سے یا تو ابہام کا شکار ہیں یا خوف کے باعث ایک واضح موقف اپنانے سے گریز کر رہی ہیں۔ منور حسن نے حکیم اللہ کو شہید کہتے وقت ایک لمحے کا خیال نہیں کیا کہ یہ وہی تحریک طالبان ہے جنہوں نے قاضی حسین احمد کو کافر کہا اور ان پر خودکش حملے کیے؟ کیا مولانا فضل الرحمان اپنی جان کے خوف اور مقامی ہمدردی حاصل کرنے کے لیے طالبان کو گلے لگانے کو مضطرب ہیں؟ یار رکھیں یہ پاکستان کی بقا کی جنگ ہے اور اگر خدانخواستہ پاکستان نہ رہا تو شاید نظریات کی یہ دکانیں کسی اناتھ آشرم کی نظر ہو جائیں۔ یہی وقت ہے جب ریاست کے تمام ادارے بالخصوص پاکستان آرمی اور موجودہ حکومت طالبان کے حوالے سے ایک واضح موقف اپنائیں۔ اگر یہ ہمارے اپنے لوگ ہیں تو انکی زندگی میں واپسی کے لیے ہر ممکن کوششیں کی جائے ورنہ آپ سمجھدار ہیں کہ یہ لوگ کبھی ہتھیار پھینک کر پھول نہیں اٹھایئں گے۔

Codifying the ethics of this bizarre media | Who will bell the cat ?

Codifying the ethics of this bizarre media | Who will bell the cat ?

By Engr. Hadeed Sher

Consider a scenario where there are two enemies who are at war against each other. Enemy A has a well equipped force but is at the losing end while enemy B has the upper hand without having a well established chain of command. Enemy B, however, has an edge that all the tactical details of enemy A are leaked through its own media that helps enemy B to prepare accordingly.

Now, look at  this scenario in perspective with Pakistan's war against terrorism. Imagine what TALIBAN and Pakistan are up to. Pakistan, the first Nuclear power of the "Islamic world" and the country that has the sixth largest army in the world, is paralyzed in the war against some roughly 15000 TALIBANS. Perhaps one of the reasons is the irresponsible behavior of our national media . As discussed earlier in my blog that Pakistani media managers are so insane that they are knowingly/unknowingly helping the terrorists. This blog post, although a sequel of the earlier blog on terrorism, but here we unveil some other negative dimensions of Pakistani media that show how amateurish and childish is their behavior when it comes to terrorism and the topics of general interest.

In the previous blog it was also stated that spreading sensitive information comes under STUPIDITY , if someone think it is an investigation journalism. Informing the terrorists about the security measures of high profile personalities, telling the world like "Hay did you know you need jamming devices to dismiss the functionality of wireless system" or love letter to the terrorists with the text "You have to be prepared to cross the Trunches in Sukkar and Hyderabad Jails" ? If anyone wants to attack on Karachi Jail make it sure the process of 6 feet wide concrete block is about to be finished. Come on you crackpots, you single minded bunch of idiots. What the hell is wrong with you ? Can't you survive without sabotaging the security plans of a fractured law enforcement agency of Pakistan ? Is it that necessary !!  The rat race for ratings and spreading the thrill for their own monitory benefits is indeed regretful.





People, when cry of the treacherous behavior of GEO news, it comes in mind that all other TV channels are pro Pakistani. Especially the Express NEWS owned by some high "intellectuals" like Javed Shodary and that Karate Kid "Shahzaib Khanzada". However, they too are very informative when it comes to the bright face of India. Look at the below mentioned screen shots taken late night at Express live updates. How much they are keen to tell our nation, the updates of the glamourous India.

The indecency of Electronic media is also evident from the fact that the number of times they have broadcasted the reports about female politicians wearing glasses and branded accessories, but with indecent and vulgar BOLLYWOOD songs. However, the same media shows "Responsibliity" when it comes to the Javed Shodary and Shahzaib Khanzada brawl. The fight was not reported on any news channel although it spread like a wildfire after some "irresponsible" insider tweeted about it. The photographers of Pakistani newspaper love to do candid photography for their "Tharkipanna" and the super pervert editor display them in the appropriate pages, which mostly are front pages, of the newspapers. It should be noted that in the "ZIONIST" west the model release forms are required to showcase the photographs for commercial use. For an instant see the below shown photograph published on he front page of Daily INQALAAB.

The SIKANDAR saga in Islamabad unfolded the new scarface of our media when it was proved that how our media can play with a dangerous situation. The lunatic Sikandar was posed as a person who hostage the whole Pakistan with his wife and 2 kids. According to the report published on this blog, media was mad breaking news about Sikandar including the information of his peeing besides the road. Later on when the issue was dropscened the media rushed to hospitals and telecasted this bawdy news (screen print given below).


The prominent TV anchor Nasim Zahra tweeted about the amateurish behavior of media in her tweet, however her responsibility being the director current affairs DUNYA TV was limited to twitter only. Neither she stopped DUNYA TV from playing this dirty game nor she resigned from Dunya TV on this irresponsible attitude. It is twitter where all the responsibilities are accomplished. 

As I stated earlier that this media is actually a non stop nonsense bullshit in our society. Here the level of stupidity and the level of non seriousness increases with the increase in popularity. The newscasters and the producer feels no shame in making an ordinary person's issue a BREAKING NEWS. See this below mentioned appalling tweet that was also telecast across the globe via the Geo news network as a BREAKING NEWS, rather BARKING NEWS to be more precise.




The news channels fell so proud in spreading wrong information. Consider this information in which a pre typed text was posted even before the ball was thrown, later it was revealed that the batsmen failed to get a boundary. The same TV channel shamelessly without apologizing tweeted the normal news.........




Do we need to think twice before passing any judgement about this insane media? Do we need to support the so called liberation of MEDIA ? Can we afford to have an uncontrolled medium that jeopardizes the national interests in the name of free information ?  Why on earth we need to have a breaking news on the TV channels every few seconds... And last but not the least, nations like ROME, IRAN, BYZANTINE, AZTECS etc survived without any media, so in this context what should be the role of media . Who should codify the ethics of this bizarre media.. I left the answer to you....



Nanga Parbat Massacre | Who Is Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan?

Nanga Parbat Massacre | Who Is Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan?

Written by Raheel Adnan*

Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has claimed the responsibility of brutal killings at Diamir Base Camp of Nanga Parbat. 'By killing foreigners, we wanted to give a message to the world to play their role in bringing an end to the drone attacks,' TTP spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan told AP on the telephone from an unidentified location.

TTP is, at times, wrongfully considered as a faction of ‘Taliban’. It's important to note that, although, Taliban and Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) share a name, the two groups are discrete entities with fewer similarities than differences. They operate independently with contradictory strategic goals. 'The fact that they have the same name causes all kinds of confusion,' Gilles Dorronsoro of Carnegie Endowment for International Peace told NYTimes in 2009.

Taliban vs TTP

As Wikipedia defines, 'the Taliban is an Islamic fundamentalist political movement in Afghanistan'. They operate against foreign and Afghan security forces but strictly oppose targeting another Muslim state or country. Before 9/11, Taliban hosted and supported several Al-Qaeda leaders but it’s believed that the groups are separated now. Currently Taliban's 'real purpose' is to fight the invading forces in Afghanistan and 'liberate' it from their occupation.

Contrarily Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan is an umbrella organization of various anti-Pakistan militant groups. Organization's strategic goals are purely based on enmity toward the Pakistani government and military. TTP can largely be held responsible for violence and security related issues in Pakistan. The group has been extensively involved in suicide attacks on military, police and innocent Pakistanis, heavily armed attacks on Pakistan's security forces, murdering of opponents without discrimination (like the attack on young girl Malala Yousafzai), kidnapping for ransom, killing of high value targets and promoting sectarian violence.

Origination of the Groups

Taliban's origination can be linked back to 1980s insurgence by mujahidin fighters against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. After the fall of Soviet-backed regime, several Afghan political parties signed a power-sharing agreement, but the feeble government lasted only a few days and Afghanistan entered into civil war. Taliban’s militant activities started in 1994. They took control of Kabul in 1996 and ruled the country until American-led NATO invasion in 2001.

TTP’s roots can be traced back to 2002, when Pakistan Army started operation in FATA (Pakistani areas bordering Afghanistan) against foreign militants fleeing from Afghanistan into Pakistan due to NATO operation. Eventually in December 2007, several groups united under Baitullah Mehsud to form the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan. It’s reported that the TTP killed around 200 tribal elders to strengthen their hold in the region. Several TTP leaders previously participated in Afghanistan war, along with Taliban.

TTP and Al Qaeda are in a close relationship, collaborating in financial matters and manufacturing of explosive devices. White-House counterterrorism advisor John Brennan once said on Fox News, "It [TTP] is a group that is closely allied with Al-Qaeda. They train together, they plan together, they plot together. They are almost indistinguishable."

Relationships between Taliban and TTP

Taliban strongly denies their association with TTP. "We don’t like to be involved with them (TTP), as we have rejected all affiliations with Pakistani Taliban fighters. We have sympathy for them as Muslims, but besides that, there is nothing else between us." There has been several attempts to bring the two organizations together, but Taliban often asks TTP to “to end suicide attacks, attacks against the Pakistani military, kidnappings for ransom, and the killing of innocent Pakistanis”. Apparently, none of the agreements between two groups ever worked.

TTP and Recent Attacks in Mountains

The first incident of violence in the mountains took place in February 2012, when 18 Shia Muslim bus passengers were killed in Kohistan district. Jundallah, a group linked with Al-Qaeda and TTP, claimed the responsibility of the attack. Despite being an unprivileged area, militancy related incidents in the Kohistan were almost non-existent, prior to aforementioned incident. Although, previously militants had a strong hold in the adjacent valley of Swat.

In August 2012, more than 20 Shia passengers were killed in the valley leading to Babusar Pass. TTP claimed the responsibility of the attack. The attackers were disguised in military uniforms.

Although massacre at Diamir BC is the first instance of attacks on foreign climbers, the incident can be closely linked with past events. TTP claims that the attack was carried out by its newly formed team, Junud-ul-Hifsa.

Map showing location of three incidents 
'The purpose of this attack was to give a message to the world that Pakistan is unsafe for travel,' said the interior minister, Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, addressing the National Assembly session, which passed a resolution condemning the incident. 'The government will take all measures to ensure the safety of foreign tourists.'

Note: ‘Taliban’ is at times referred as Afghan Taliban, and TTP as Pakistani Taliban.
