ZAHEER: FOUNDER OF SHIR INTERNATIONAL NETWORK:
A
MISSION WITH A VISION TO SERVE HUMANITY IN REALITY
TRUE
LEADERS ARE BEST,
HYPOCRITES ARE PEST
BY JAVED ZAHEER, FREE EXPRESSION
AWARD WINNER
TORONTO: True leaders are
like gem are very rare whereas hypocrites like pests are everywhere. It is definitely
not in the people and national interests to choose, vote, support, promote and
follow hypocrites and any person, leader and party not loyal to the people.
People
of good character, conscience and credibility can sacrifice their lives and
everything but will never compromise on the issue of loyalty with the people
and country. They are patriots and not hypocrites.
DIFFERENCE:
There is a vast difference between hypocrisy and democracy. Mostly in the name
of democracy hypocrisy is being promoted and practiced. The word democracy is
used as a shield to hide hypocrisy and hypocrites. The world can never be a
safe place with such hypocrisy democracy run by hypocrites.
They
are responsible for the worst type of destruction, sufferings and poverty in
the world and merciless and brutal killing of millions of helpless and innocent
people in the name of peace and danger to national interests. All such cruel,
gruesome and beastly acts are committed solely for their vested interests.
Through
proper awareness and understanding, people must be educated to recognize the
hypocrites and their cunningness and warned not to commit the grave mistake of trusting
the hypocrites and exploiters again and again and being easily trapped.
HIDE AND SEEK:
After elections and being voted, the hypocrites and exploiters are hardly seen
and hard to catch. For four years they live in their own world of fantasy and keep
playing hide and seek with the naïve, innocent or helpless people.
Unfortunately,
most of the leaders and parties worldwide are not loyal to the people and if
they are not loyal to the people then understandably they are not loyal to the
country as well.
The
importance of trust and confidence, commitment and promises are all meaningless
for them and only tools to fool the people. With such character, attitude,
approach and policies of leaders and parties, people can never become and
remain happy. Only they will keep becoming poorer and their lives miserable. The
graphs and statistics of progress and prosperity are all restricted to paper work. A fair survey will
definitely reveal how painful the lives of most people are. Their miseries are
increasing and multiplying rapidly resulting in increase of all sorts of
crimes, serious illnesses and mental sickness of all types leading to even suicides.
HARMFUL GIFTS:
All these are harmful gifts of wrong policies, leaders and parties. We keep
getting lollypops laced with sweet poison. There are many catches, which must
be exposed and removed.
Many
basic facilities and necessities including grocery, housing and rents are
becoming beyond their reach. Along with other issues, non-affordability of many
things is an important issue. The fact is that issues continue to pile up and
remain unattended. They can only be solved if the leaders and parties become
loyal to the people and country. Unfortunately, this is not happening for long and
resulting in suffering of people. The challenges are becoming tougher.
BAD PRACTICE:
If we understand and stop the bad practice of voting for, supporting,
protecting, promoting and following blindly the wrong people, leaders and parties
and only go for the right ones then believe me there will be tremendous real
changes.
Both
the people and country would benefit tremendously through stability, great
progress and prosperity. This is an important reality and a great service to
the people, country, community and humanity.
Lollypops
and lip service must always be rejected. This will not only put great pressure
on the leaders and parties but put them on the right track and also compel them
to act positively and practically serve the people and country.
The
vote has tremendous power and is the foundation of success. Progress, prosperity
and stability of the people and
country.
The important thing is the right use of vote in order to make the parliament
and institutions really strong and powerful with a team of good leaders,
advisers and policymakers.
The
parties must give freedom to their leaders and team members instead of making them
just robots, puppets and helpless. Those trying to become voice and strength of
the people face punishment in many ways and fear losing nomination and support
of the party in future. No good system can work properly and effectively in
this way. This will always remain hypocrisy and can never be called real
democracy.
The
parties badly treating and punishing good leaders and policymakers must face
severe punishment and that is NO VOTE for them. It is important to make them
realize that people and voters are not pests. They deserve full loyalty and
respect.
HUMAN TERMITES: Hypocrites
are human termites and making the country hollow. They can only cause damage. For
real democracy, we need good leaders and parties who are truly loyal to the
people and the country. They do not fear the consequences and do not compromise
even with their party and leaders.
We
need leaders who understand the people and respect them, their votes, issues,
problems and needs. Who live, fight and die for the people and country. There
are such leaders but we need to encourage, support and promote them.
Yes,
we need good people and leaders with a mindset to practically unite, through
assurances, trust and confidence, people of different mindsets and priorities
on a common platform and same page. Only they can do this.
CONTRIBUTION:
Active participation of the people is seen in social, cultural, religious and political
activities and gatherings. This is good and healthy and should be encouraged in
order to have good society.
Along
with active participation, the people must be educated and encouraged to focus
on active contribution in order to build good families, communities, society
and system, essentially needed to establish real democracy.
One
very successful person said: “My priorities are 1)My health 2)My family 3) My
friends and employees and 4) Money. Greedy people start with money, end with
money and end as losers. This is what they get. As losers, how can they help
the people country and even their families?” Hypocrites too fall in the greedy
group as they become richer and make people poorer.
Critic
role is very important in ensuring good policies for good working of parliament
and leaders. This way the system could
be improved and strengthened.
We
must encourage the people and groups to become voice and strength of the people
in order to fight hypocrites and exploiters and to meet expectations of the
people. The mafia involved in hurting and harming the country, people, society
and system must be exposed. Only by becoming powerful voice and strength of the
people, we can help bring real change and real democracy.
CORRUPTION: I
keep meeting people of different mindsets, communities, countries and religions.
We listen to each other and engage in very good discussions and dialogues in a
very friendly manner. Most of them without any second thought say that
corruption is the main cause of poverty and destruction of institutions in
their respective countries.
BENGALIS:
My highly educated Bengali friend from Bangladesh, who is a Canadian citizen,
says: “Brother, over ninety (90) per cent of Bangladeshis like and love
Pakistan so much that they are prepared to fight and die for Pakistan if there
is war between India and Pakistan.
“Whatever
happened in the past is history and now we are with Pakistan and Pakistanis.
They are our Muslim brothers and we can never leave them alone. There is lot of
protests going on in Bangladesh. People are being killed, arrested and
tortured. Pakistanis and Muslims worldwide must know about it and speak out
against the corrupt and cruel Bangladesh Government.”
SIKHS:
Similarly, most of the Sikhs in Canada are fed up with corruption and worst kind
of discrimination in India. They say: “Corrupt politicians, leaders and rulers
have made lives of non-Hindus and even low-caste Hindus miserable. They are so
powerful that it is hard to get rid of them.
“This
is why we moved to Canada, one of the best places on earth. We have nothing
against the Muslims. The Muslim saint Hazrat Mian Mir Sahab of Pakpattan,
Pakistan, was invited by one of our Guru and laid the foundation stone of the
Golden Temple.
“When
we go to Pakistan, we get very warm welcome, great respect and best hospitality.
How can we then dislike and hate them. It is the corrupt politicians are rulers
who divide and create hatred.”
This
is the tale of almost every person I meet in Canada from developing or poor
country, particularly Africa and Asia. All say in one voice: “Corruption is
destroying our people, society, system and country. In Canada we and our
children are getting best facilities and opportunities.”
CHOOSE
OPTIONS: Without
true leaders, good policies and practical action for implementation all efforts
including for electoral reforms or changes of laws or the propagated real
change would go waste. Parliaments and institutions without true leaders and
good people would prove garbage bins full of dirt and pests.
They
are all sacred institutions but our votes for the wrong leaders and parties are
turning them into garbage bins. We are directly responsible for such wrong and
dirty practices by acting senselessly and irresponsibly. There is always option
for us: VOTE OR NO VOTE.
Before
asking for and expecting real changes we must first change ourselves. True
leaders never beg for votes. Instead people run after them and vote for them
without asking. It is the people who become winners by electing true leaders.
We
can only win by helping, supporting and promoting each other with positive and
constructive approach. Good people and great leaders show great patience and
never try to exploit, cheat, harm and hurt anyone. This is the spiritual
guidance given in the holy books including the Holy Quran.
This
is the real test for deserving paradise where one will find no vice. So rise
and choose the right option: The right path as mentioned in the first chapter (Al-Fateha)
of the holy Quran.
REMINDER: Shahid
Hashmi, Chairman, Canpak Chamber of Commerce, accountant and a distinguished
community leader, keeps saying and reminding the Muslim community members: “Most
Muslims don’t follow the religion in realty. They don’t act and implement what
they say, teach and preach. This is why the community is suffering. We must
learn to like, love and respect each other and live and work together.”
As founder of SHIR International
Network, this is what part of my message is. My mission and vision is Serve
Humanity In Reality (SHIR). Most people keep asking me senselessly: “How do you
serve or we can serve humanity in reality. We don’t understand your motto?” I
can understand their taunts and sick mentality.
This
does not bother me but instead makes me stronger and more determined to meet
the tough challenges. They act as a fuel for the fire burning in me and the desire
to serve humanity.
