There are so many memories of Iman Afrooz Iftar in the mosque for the last many years, which makes one feel sleepy. In one such event, I suddenly met Shah Sahib, the host tried to introduce him, but Shah Sahib embraced with a strange warmth, his warmth was palpable and so was Adharmira. “You already know each other,” I replied, “I not only know Shah Sahib, but also value him from the heart. He belongs to the few politicians who have ever lived.” Stay away from political rules, who always gave birth to honesty, sincerity, and good intentions, who gave something to politics in every era, did not try to recover from it. “Shah Sahib thanked me and we Both sat in a corner. Shah Sahib started telling his political ups and downs, how he started politics, how he contested elections, how he became a minister, what tricks he had to do to avoid bribery and looting. How he was defeated in the election and finally left the party, etc.
I have a couple of such incidents in my knowledge, due to which I have a lot of respect for him. I once again praised his honesty, he looked at me longingly and said in a cold tone, “I have this honesty of yours.” , I am not only ashamed of this principledness and sincerity but live under the taunts of my wife and children. He was the right one, those who missed the opportunity kept regretting, look at the reward of honesty, today I have neither politics nor money in my hands. We continued to talk about this shame and regret for a long time. Shah Sahib gave twenty examples, how people came into politics empty-handed, took advantage of time and opportunity, rose from the floor to the throne and today they are not only enjoying themselves but are again an important part of the government’s slave cycles.
Dozens of accountability departments were formed, cases and references were also filed against them, but they did not make any difference, some of them got away with their lives and some of them got the medal of an honest politician once again. They took refuge in me but eventually they also changed their loyalties to save lives and property and were left behind as fools like us! We stuck to our principles, kept the service of the country as our faith out of fear of God, but when did those who made money care about my existence, I was trapped in the forest of conspiracies, and I was harassed so much by using the people of my own office against me. That I considered it better than dying kneeling down to kiss this stone and be separated, as a result of which my foot was empty and remained empty, now we are living like Ghat and they did not get a home, but friends like you for a few moments. For the appreciation of our honesty, they tie the bridge and tear it again.
Mir Sahib was a retired bureaucrat. He lived in the corridor of power and authority for 35 years. He held such a valuable post and how did he stay in the golden position, but he had let his faith and honesty slip from his hands. When he retired, he did not even have a roof to hide his head. What was left became the victim of the fraud of the notorious Eden Builders of Lahore, the courts continued to push but the fraudster was the son-in-law of the Chief Justice of that time, so no one could save him. It is a different thing that when this Faradiyeh died, the affected people still put shoes on his grave, but Mir Sahib spent his whole life in penance and sorrow. It would open and close at night under the burden of circumstances and needs. Mir Sahib also spent his last life in regret. Another name is stupidity, there is a need to avoid honesty, unfortunately I did not even realize this during my employment.
Be it Shah Sahib or Mir Sahib, there are such characters scattered in our society, there must be some Shah Sahib, some Mir Sahib in our lives, these people used to be in the majority but now they are becoming a minority. Every coming day is dawning on the dead bodies of such people, those who thought that conscience was justice, who felt that even if all eyes were closed, one eye was still watching them, who thought that the world is a temporary game and everything in this game. It is foolish to give up and those who used to say that there is no wealth greater than contentment and no power greater than truth, those people are rapidly withdrawing from this society, this society, this country is becoming empty of these people. The land of honesty in the country is rapidly becoming Sam and Thor.
In our country, the revelations of NARA and Panama have exhumed the funeral of honesty, truth and sincerity, and now these qualities are not found. Such a dirty bag of accusations and revelations was placed in the middle of the intersection that the nation came under fire. By adding many half-truths and lies to these accusations and revelations, the attention of the nation was diverted from the dangers of which the people are aware of their homeland. Friends and enemies were being distinguished. In one blow, a campaign was started with great force to defame all of their opponents and the fate of the country was played with in such a way that the owner of a nuclear power took a handshake and begged for charity and alms. He was forced to ask. Those who invested billions of rupees in this ruin of the country are now enjoying themselves because of the weak memory of the people.
It is surprising that the people who were removed in the wake of the Panama Leaks, all the judicial sentences given in the same Panama cases were pressed under the cover and crowned with power again, even though at that time such serious cases were made in connection with the Panama case. Allegations and revelations also came out, the investigation of which cost the country crores of rupees, but like the NRO, the Panama case was also buried with great skill. Who is responsible for the cost of crores of rupees incurred by the people who made the Panama case, those who investigated it, the court proceedings? Is it not necessary to take action against all those people who have impoverished this country for their own interests with these judges?
Honesty, loyalty and sincerity are already disappearing in our country. Something should be done for these people who are stepping on the road of repentance. If we cannot give them anything, at least we can boost their courage. You can respect them, you can acknowledge their goodness and honesty, people burn their hands to save the flickering lights of the lamps, how are we people, in the chaos of life, snow is being cultivated in front of us, but We are silently watching the spectacle. Remember! If we do not protect these lights of faith and goodness, our children will not even be familiar with the words of goodness and faith. There will be a society of people who benefit from it. We have to immediately account for the lumberjacks who are ready to cut down all the trees of our country with axes on their shoulders!
Believe me! When the ax (America) came to cut the trees (Muslims) in the forest, the trees said: The Ax handle (Muslim leader) is among us.
