A MISSION WITH A VISION TO SERVE
HUMANITY IN REALITY
KASHMIRIS TOO ARE HUMAN BEINGS:
SILENCE OF THE WORLD IS A CRIME
BY JAVED ZAHEER, FREE EXPRESSION
AWARD WINNER
TORONTO: Like all of us, Kashmiris too are human
beings and their blood too is as red and precious as like that of people of all
countries and communities. They too deserve the same attention, treatment, love,
respect, care, justice and equality.
Unfortunately,
the world has been extremely cruel to them.
Instead of acting as blind, deaf and dumb, had the world felt their
terrible pain, moan and groan and their cry for justice, help and support they
too would have been enjoying today like all of us the fruit of real freedom,
equality, justice and democracy and living an independent, peaceful and
respectable life.
In
order to invite attention of the saner world, the champions of human rights and
the related world bodies and agencies including United Nations, Kashmiris all over
the world observe every year on February 5 Kashmir Day. Pakistanis worldwide and
the Muslim World join them by observing Kashmir Solidarity Day on the same
date. They will continue to do so till the Kashmiris get their rights and
freedom and the worldwide attention, treatment, help and support they truly deserve.
Thousands of innocent Kashmiris have sacrificed their lives and millions more
are prepared to sacrifice their lives till the struggle for freedom continues
and the goal is achieved.
Parliaments
and governments of all levels in the world are extremely sacred places where
leaders, policymakers and bureaucrats sit and work in the best interest of the
people and the country. Only the best people and trusted leaders whose
conscience keeps guiding them must be allowed to enter, sit and work here.
People
without conscience, wrong and bad leaders and policymakers do more serious harm
than doing any good. In a sense they prove as enemies of the state, people and
mankind. Because of them both the country and people suffer terribly. Lives of the people become miserable.
Therefore, they must never be allowed to enter or remain in the sacred places
at any cost. Such people and leaders and their parties must be fully exposed to
protect the country and people. Electing, supporting and promoting them is a
serious crime. Those doing this are their equal partners.
As
a good human being, it is the duty and responsibility in all sense of all
parliamentarians, leaders and people of the world to practically come forward
and act to help and support the just causes and struggles anywhere including
Kashmir. Innocent and helpless people anywhere need our help and must not be
ignored.
The
silence of the world and the United Nations ineffectiveness in such cases is a serious
crime against humanity. They must understand and serve humans in reality instead
of serving vested interests. They must stop acting as dummies and mummies. The
people cannot be fooled all the time. They know the reality, the propagandas
and the conspiracies.
As
a Canadian Citizen of Pakistani Origin and as Founder of SHIR International
Network with mission and vision: Serve Humanity In Reality (SHIR), I strongly appeal
on behalf of the suffering Kashmiris to the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin
Trudeau, and all the leaders in the Canadian Parliament and provincial
assemblies to take up the issue seriously for a permanent solution because it
is a humanitarian cause.
Canada
and Canadians too are human rights champions and it is their duty and
responsibility to play this very important role. Because India and Pakistan
have failed to solve the issue and instead several fought wars in which
millions have suffered and thousands mercilessly killed therefore Canada and
Canadians must step forward to help. This will help bring and ensure a
permanent peace, stability and progress in South Asia region.
Canadians
know the pain of sufferings. In the last one decade, Canada and Canadians
suffered a lot. They realised the harm being caused to the people and country
and decided to bring a change. Their right decision helped brought a good
change. The change for better will only be effective if the wrong and bad
policies are replaced with good and better ones. This is being done slow and
steady. The dirt of a decade cannot be cleaned in a day or two. One thing is
certain and that is that people are taking a sigh of relief.
Conservative
MP John Carmichael used to give lollypops to the people coming to his office. I
used to tease him: “Only lollypops for the people”. He had helped many people
but people were not happy with his staff. By giving lollypops indirectly he was
giving a powerful message to the people that he wanted to help but was helpless
and because of the party policies and politics he could only give lollypops. So
he drowned with the boat (Conservative Party) he was in.
Liberal
MP Rob Oliphant has now replaced John Carmichael. He is a good leader and
determined to help and support people. He is tried and tested and listens,
helps and supports. He has a good staff including the young lady Shifa. This is
what people need. Similarly, Salma Zahid, MP, too is a good leader. She is a
Canadian of Pakistani origin and has already been given an important task. It
is the best opportunity for all Canadians of Pakistani Origin who have been
made MPs to make the community, people and Canada proud. They must prove that
they have been voted and elected rightly.
All
the burning issues needing and deserving priority must be tackled in the best possible
manner. Delays in sponsorship cases of spouses and families must be cut to
minimum possible time so that families could be united so that they could help
each other, live happily and contribute tremendously.
Distinguished
community leaders including Shahid Hashmi, Chairman, Canpak Chamber of
Commerce, Syed Muhammad Iqbal, President of Pak Seniors Forum (PSF), and Firoz
Khan, journalist and founder of Mehfil Group, remain active to help and support
people, particularly those victimized and in crisis due to the harmful and bad
policies of the past government. They keep feeding me positively on various
issues in order to help me take them up through writing so that the wrong
policies could be replaced by good ones and people helped. Their intention is
good and inspires me to always think and act.
