Pakistani society is plagued with corruption at all levels
be it moral, ethical, religious, financial or anything – it has become the
basic ingredient of the society’s fabric. It runs in our blood. Country is
plagued with so many crises on different levels, but there is one section of
populace which is completely insulated from any untoward happening. There is another
section which runs on making crises, and there is a list of sections who all
hold distinctive positions in this complex polygonal structure of Pakistani
state and social fabric.
I have always been told that Pakistan came into being in
Aug, 1947 but if we take the current geographical boundaries, our history does
extend back to December, 1970 at least. Since the amputation of East Pakistan,
we’ve been relatively more or less with same geography leaving aside some
adventures that we did on our western borders.
However, recently historians have come up with a new date
i.e. 9th of March, 2007 – the day when a member of corrupt ‘ruling
elite’ embraced Islam and stood by the constitution by being defiant to a
military dictator (the same guy who elevated converted to highest pedestal and
showered his all blessings on the individual in return for giving him the legal
cover to be the army chief and president at the same time) . On the following
days, the prestigious institution of press, started pressing and impressing on
our minds the wonders Iftikhar Chaudry did during his term as Chief Justice that
started in 2005. All of a sudden, he became a Mujahid against aamriyat! He took
his oath on PCO and not Pakistani constitution which was okay, he got his son
special favors in civil service, misuse public money – but that was okay
because he said no to Musharraf.
Media started pumping air in the balloon, earning millions
and billions of rupees by making it the most discussed topics in drawing rooms,
verandas, tea stalls, public transports and even among the segment of
population who didn’t know even why was it wrong to move a reference against
chief justice in a perfectly legal way. Thanks to our prestigious, honest,
intellectual journalists, Iftikhar Chaudry was given a ticket to the ‘House of
gods’.
The reason I am calling this special group ‘House of gods’
is because they never make a mistake. They are the only custodians of civil
rights, law, Pakistan’s sovereignty and principles of morality. People who
already were in the ‘House of gods’ of Pakistan are Chiefs of Armed forces, and
yes most importantly chief of army staff, Pakistani patriotic generals, media.
Since the judicial movement, there has been an addition of two new classes to
the ‘House of gods’ which are higher judiciary and lawyers. Whatever they do,
we’ve to know that it is in the national interest. Only these people know law.
They are mini-gods. We needed these gods because it adds value. And yes, how
can I forget – Pakistani nuclear scientists are also now making a back-door
entry into this group. They seriously deserve our appreciation on Made In China
defense technologies, and now one of them is testing his luck with Thar Coal
using a technology which is not suitable according to the poor scientists, but
who knows – it’s the pir of Pakistani atomic bomb who is trying his luck so a
couple of hundred million dollars here and there is not a big gamble keeping in
view the fact that it’s the god himself who is doing it. We got to give god a
chance with Thar coal even without his knowledge in minerals, because its his
country, not ours – you know?
There is a hierarchy of this very auspicious house I am
talking about. On top is our sipah salaar i.e. Saladin of our times – oh yes, I
am talking of Army Chief – god of national sovereignty. He is the god of
another god, who is the god of justice commonly known as chief justice. Then
there are mini-gods or deities. They are in different sizes, shapes and colors.
They have to be in favor with the top two gods to enjoy the perks. Islamabad is the Athens of modern times. Those rocky, stony gods of Greeks have now been improvised upon and a new 'House of gods' is ready.
Therefore, my fellow countrymen, if you want to lead a good,
peaceful, conscience-less life – please follow ‘House of gods’ in Pakistan.
