I want a Pakistan where peace reigns supreme. A Pakistan where children can play in the streets to their hearts’ content and their parents need not fear that their children will be kidnapped. The streets are not blocked with barriers; neither are there impediments on ever step. When the husbands and brothers leave for work, their mothers, daughters, sisters and wives will not worry about whether or not they will even return.
I want a Pakistan where while walking on footpaths, in the streets, neighbours, in packed markets and even while waiting at traffic signals, one is not scared of being robbed at gunpoint in broad daylight. The people are not divided up into neighbourhoods and areas and there are no divisions on the basis of religion and ethnicity. Everyone would respect each other’s viewpoints; where one becomes respectful by hiding their head behind a beard and a topi.
