Sir, this country is going down-hill. Sir, our Pakistan is going down-hill! DESIGN: ERUM SHAIKH

Honourable Mr Mohammad Ali Jinnah,

I’m convinced you’re well and in a much better place. I’m a citizen of Pakistan and after having enough, I thought I should speak to you – inform you about the Pakistan you fought for on our behalf.

Sir, we have your picture on Pakistani currency which we use for bribing. We also have your picture in our government offices, under which our managers (I’m sorry Sir, but I don’t find any leader in this country as of now) sit and rape (literally) the constitution and tell lies.

Sir, the Pakistan you thought of, we are nowhere near it.

I’m sorry but I have to tell you. I don’t intend to give you pain, but in my opinion you need to know.

Sir, in your address to the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan onAugust 11, 1947, you said and I quote, 

“You are free; you are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to any other place of worship in this State of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion or caste or creed — that has nothing to do with the business of the State… We are starting with this fundamental principle that we are all citizens and equal citizens of one State… I think we should keep that in front of us as our ideal and you will find that in due course Hindus would cease to be Hindus and Muslims would cease to be Muslims, not in the religious sense, because that is the personal faith of each individual, but in the political sense as citizens of the State.”

These were your words on August 11, 1947.

I’m afraid but people are not free to go their temples Sir. Last Eidul-Fitr, Ahmadis were stopped from going to their prayer houses in Rawalpindi.

We as a nation have lost patience and tolerance. The fundamental principle that we are equal citizens of one state still seems like a dream. Sir, let me also tell you that Shia’s are being targeted in this country and we have lost young men, children, women in blasts which have shaken the country. The recent Quetta and Abbas Townincident is yet another tragic mark in Pakistan’s history. Shia’s are being targeted and killed during processions whilst they remember Hazrat Imam Hussain’s shahadat.

Sir, in your speech at Islamia College for Women on March 25, 1940, you said and I quote,

“I have always maintained that no nation can ever be worthy of its existence that cannot take its women along with the men. No struggle can ever succeed without women participating side by side with men. There are two powers in the world….
