Again it’s Liaquat Bagh

Someone has said this right “Sometimes things end from where they start.” I hope this thing proves true for Pakistan as well. It was October 1951 when our first Prime Minister Liaquat Ali was assassinated in company lawn which was later named as “Liaquat Bagh” after that horrific event. The history has repeated itself but this time it is the Benazir Bhutto, a Harvard graduate, the two times prime minister of Pakistan, the very first lady in Muslim world to lead an Islamic country. I am wondering is this inception of something which I always dreamed off for Pakistan. I hope it is because if it didn’t happen then this history is going to repeat again and again. We have got the chance after the whole 30 years when Benazir’s father Zulfikhar Ali Bhutto was hanged and no one came on the street. The well-played game by US’s President Carter when he wrote him letter on the reaction of struggle incepted by Late Mr. Bhutto for making Pakistan a nuclear state in which Mr. Carter said that “We’ll teach you a lesson out of it.”

May be the Benazir Bhutto wasn’t the successful leader in her terms whatever the conditions were. But the purpose she was (is) supposing to fight is noble. And even after her sacrifice of life the problem persists. What we have got something new from her sacrifice is the emotional consciousness which has been the secret of today’s world powers. The fire she has lightened up in our hearts shouldn’t fade away before we eliminate the sword hanging over on existence of Pakistan. I wouldn’t mind if someone is calling that sword as Firebrand.

But I am thinking what the difference between today and 1978 then? Common man is still the same as it was on that time. Even during these 30 years we have become more habitual to injustice and corruption. It has become like the part of our daily life. We have accepted that as the part of our constitution, the law or I should say the system. Then how can I accept the something different from the very same thing. I hope and I’ll pray that my projections prove wrong this time. When we have forgotten our rights then how can we are going to fight for them. We, as a nation, lack the very basic fundamental which make a nation “a nation”. And that is “consciousness”.

As I always said before no “one man” can improve condition of the 160 million. The every person has to take their own responsibility. It is going to happen when we’ll start thinking out of the box and above our own favors. Every revolution requires sacrifice and that’s what Benazir has done and now the rest is our responsibility.

Today’s atrocious and barbaric event is reminding me both the 1951 and ’78 because it is the same liaquat bagh and may be not the same as a person but at least the same Bhutto. In above paragraph I looked on what we lack generally but it never means we don’t have anything on which basis I can say we can bring the revolt, the uprising that should have come earlier. We have the power and will of fixing the things up. I believe these are more than enough to even get what we lack and to get what is ours? All we need is the realization that how much difference we can make even without firing a single bullet and jeopardizing the single life.

-A salute to the woman who is going to live in history forever.
