खून किसी का भी गिरे, कही भी….नस्ल-ए-आदम का खून है आखिर…
बच्चे सरहद पार के सही….किसी की छाती का सुकून हैं आखिर…
Yet again, humanity is crying on streets. It is the same red blood, flowing in all of us, that has covered the desks and chairs of a school in Peshawar, Pakistan. Just imagine the pain of those parents who were reading that list of dead, the shivering of parents’ bodies, eyes which could not read properly owing to fear and tears; this was the end of mankind. With ears all open, they were also listening to the fires and blasts inside the school when the military forces were trying to punch down the attackers. Can we even imagine the shock that would have hit the minds of students who were lucky enough to survive the attack when they witnessed heavily armed militants lining up students and hitting them at point zero, when they shot at a teacher until she was absolutely silent? Reports say ‘132 dead’, but what about the death of innocence that rested within the students who have seen the manslaughter of humanity with eyes and ears all open? It was just 9 of them in Peshawar; I am scared as thousands alike are hunting for blood.
They call this ‘revenge’. Is this the way? You have shattered the lives of parents who extended all the love and means they could manage to for bringing up their sons and daughters. Now should they rise for revenge? Come on if you are brave men and bring out your children, let the sufferers also make good their losses by slaying them. But, we are humans at heart; we are the ones who cannot kill someone. Then what to do? It is very clear and evident now that the extremists are crushing humanity, not any nation or community. I could also hear voices claiming that Pakistan has been chomped by the dogs they fed. Why then permit the relatives of these dogs open fire at innocents residing in India? Wake up gentlemen or we would suffer the pain equally, no more no less. These Pakistani Talibanis were allegedly provided shelters by the Pakistan when the U.S. attempted to wipe them off. See what they have done. My hands and body trembles to see the pictures of dead children and I fear about the safety of my kids.
If you call supporting these terror groups as diplomacy and politics, let it be confined to your own homes please. What wrong did the students of Peshawar and their parents do? Are they at fault just because they were born in a country which promotes terror? And not just Pakistan, this is more or less same around the world. Even my country is suffering from the disease of ‘true secularism’. This is all the era of ‘divide and rule’. You are at one of the sides, either a Christian, or a Muslim, or a Hindu. Then again you are either a Shia or a Sunni, or a Jaat or a Pandit. When are we humans then? We are so easily lured and moved by the words and pity perks of religious and political leaders that we forget that fire sees no difference; it will burn even our hands one day, just like it has done in Peshawar. They would have had dreams of pursuing engineering, but this fake human engineering in the name of religion scorched the innocent dreams.
You know this, there is no other option than to unite and curb this with a sole aim, the aim to put at rest the radicalism, which otherwise will supersede human values one day to such an extent that we will have no other option than to witness the massacre of the society with helpless hands. Let this be the moment. Let the screams of the young ones of Pakistan be the silence-breaker. Else, the next casualty can be at your home even. At the verge of collapse, humanity is calling for support from every human. We all can feel the pain of the slayed guiltless children, but the vigor has to last for long, forever. The day we will overcome the divides of religions, castes, colors, and borders, we will be in a position to challenge the ill forces. The elected governments of every country bear on their shoulders the responsibility of assuring safe life to the voters and their families. The incident of Peshawar is a slap on the face of these elected rulers, and every of such mishap is a blow to the codes of so-called secular political men who promise wellbeing.
