Surrendered by Musharraf and almost abandoned by Zardari and Nawaz and a long list of US apologists in a nation seething with anger, isn’t it time for Pakistan’s rulers to take a stand? US, Britain and India top the list of countries where Pakistani citizens are abused as a state policy. Imagine 60 Indians or Americans or Brits burned alive on Pakistani soil? It happened to us but our failed rulers have hushed it because they can’t stand up for national honor. War on terror or not, the policy of humiliating Pakistanis must come to an end.

Ahmed,
ReplyDeleteIt is disingenuous of you to blame the politicians for what has happened to Dr Aafia Siddiqui. In this case, at least, the culprits are Pakistan's intelligence agencies and their obscene collaboration with the Americans. Let us have the courage to acknowledge the truth and not look for scapegoats. Surely, you are aware of the case of 'missing persons' currently being heard in Pakistan's Supreme Court?
AQ, I have been following ur articles, and i relate to them because i also consider myself as a staunch nationalist....but recently i get the feeling that you tend to get blinded by nationalistic pride and lose objectivity. Or probably I shouldnt be judging you on what u post in the Lounge :-)
ReplyDeleteanyway keep writing.
