MALALA, FAHIMS PROMOTING
EDUCATION, HUMAN VALUES
BY JAVED ZAHEER, FREE EXPRESSION
AWARD WINNER
TORONTO:
True leadership anywhere, everywhere and at any time is always
confronted with serious challenges from those who are committed enemies of mankind.
Yet such people are never deterred by any sinister conspiracies, cowardly
attacks, threats, hurdles, obstacles and setbacks.
True leaders, no doubt, are great
people. They boldly and bravely accept and face all challenges and remain
prepared for worst-ever difficult times. In any case or situation or at any
time or before anyone, they never let down their people and always try to
fulfil all the promises, pledges and commitments they make. This is their
quality, character and identity.
Malala Yousafzai, the 14-year-old brave
daughter of Pakistan, who is campaigner for girls’ rights and education, is one
such hero. She was shot in the head by those who are human beasts, criminals,
crooks, cowards, corrupt, traitors and conspirators.
The Taliban group, which always promptly
and without losing any time makes the claims and takes the responsibility, claimed
the responsibility for this attack. It is being strongly condemned and severely
criticized for this cowardly act by Pakistanis and the whole world.
REVIEW
POLICIES: Some are suspecting foul play and holding the US
and Allies responsible for this attack through their mysterious Taliban group so
that they could gain sympathy of Pakistanis and the world, put pressure on
Pakistan’s military, rulers and politicians to do more including major military
operation and justify their operations and attacks including Drone attacks in
which thousands of innocent people including women and children have been
mostly mercilessly killed.
Interestingly, Pakistanis and most
Muslims in the Muslim World really love, like and respect the country and the good,
loving and caring people of US and Allies. This is why they all crazily want to
go there by any means and at any cost.
But they don’t like and trust the
policymakers, rulers and military of US and Allies and hold them responsible
for the mass killings and destruction in order to achieve the vested interests.
This is all mainly because of the infamous but notorious U-Turn Policies of the
US. This is why US and Allies have lost trust, confidence and respect.
If they keep working with the crook,
cruel and corrupt rulers, military generals, bureaucrats, leaders and people
then they will always be disliked and hated and never trusted and
respected. They will have to seriously review
and sincerely make positive changes in the policies in order to gain the trust,
confidence, love and respect of the people. They must deal with true leaders
and good people to help them become rulers, policymakers and politicians.
CONSPIRACY
PLAN: Malala Yousafzai gained prominence in 2009 by
writing a diary (BBC Urdu video Schools Dismissed) about life under Taliban
militants who had taken control of the valley. She earned the admiration of
many across Pakistan for her courage. She was encouraged and supported by her father
Ziauddin Yusufzai, mother and BBC Reporter Abdul Hayee Kakkar.
All
the four are also being suspected by many of being very close to the US and
Allies and working for their vested interests. The connection issue is becoming
a hot issue. The media is splashing exclusive news with pictures about the
connection issue. It is being termed as a well-planned drama of the conspiracy
plan.
Courageous
Malala Yousafzai was just 11 when she started her diary, two years after the
Taliban took over the Swat Valley and ordered girls' schools to close. She
wrote under the pen-name Gul Makai for BBC Urdu and exposed the sufferings. She
won a national award for bravery and was nominated for an international
children's peace award.
CLEAR
MESSAGE: By her true leadership character, attitude,
actions, deeds and tremendous positive contributions, Malala Yousafzai and many
others like her, who are risking their lives and struggling, helping,
supporting and serving the people with the spirit of service to humanity, are
proving to the world that neither Pakistanis nor Muslims are terrorists. Instead
they are victims of global terrorism and international conspiracies. This is a
loud and clear message: Target the real terrorists instead of labelling the
Muslims as terrorists.
The world leaders and people must come
forward and practically act to help and support such courageous people. It is
never too late. Ignorance or refusal would certainly lead to torturous
punishment in the form of painful pricks by the conscience. They will always
regret and can never sleep, live or die peacefully. This is for sure. It is the
issue of mankind and humanity.
FAHIMS
CONTRIBUTIONS: Recently a couple from Pakistan visited
Toronto, Canada. They were introduced to
me by Shahid Hashmi, a renowned and respected community leader and a distinguished
personality, who is also their relative. The couple has dedicated their lives to
promoting human values and committedly serving the people through education in
order to ensure better future and quality of life for children, people and
Pakistan.
As part of their important role of
promoting human values, the couple, Syeda Fahim Iqbal Jaffrey and Muhammad
Fahim Khan, adopt poor and deserving kids and children who are ignored by the
parents. They help, support and groom them so that they become good,
responsible and respectable member of the society and community and have a bright
future. The focus is on their character, welfare and education. Also, they help
in the release of innocent people who are in jails.
ADOPT A KID: The
couple were guest of Shahid Hashmi and stayed with his family, famous for
community services and hospitality, at his residence. Shahid Hashmi, greatly impressed
by tremendous contributions and patriotic services of the couple for promotion
of education and charity, has adopted one of the poor and deserving kids who
cannot afford O & A Levels education.
Many Canadians and others, including
distinguished personalities, very much impressed by the couple’s intentions,
commitments, determination and contributions are showing keen interest in
practically helping and supporting them in promotion of their education
projects and adoption of deserving bright children for their education and
future under supervision of The Fahims School System.
The couple assured them that their help
and support would prove a great blessing and help for the deserving children
and innocent persons and maintenance and expansion of the education and charity
projects. They are expecting help and support from maximum number of people.

and support would greatly help them to continue their mission of building the

mosaic and our diversity are our greatest strengths. Canada is a proud multicultural nation that
embraces a wide variety of cultures and heritages. Canadians of innumerable heritages help to
foster this identity and strengthen the fabric of our society. Members of the many Diasporas in Canada have
made, and continue to make, significant contributions in a number of areas
including sports, business, the arts, medicine and public service.”

our fellow Canadians as equals. We need
to accept them as full participants in all aspects of Canadian life. We need to celebrate their full participation
in our communities. We need to embrace
where it will take us. We need to come
together as Canadians and show the world that we are all part of the human
RACE.”
