This question too has been raised in Sarfaraz Shah’s case & the answer is of course no but some people will persist that it’s Catch 22. Whatever the rangers did, it was deliberate & they cannot be called victims. That 25 year old man was not a threat of any kind. He was unarmed. It seems as if the rangers didn’t think twice before killing; it’s just that this time their high-handedness has been captured on a video clip. A high level inquiry has been initiated. Although the footage is there but we still need some more evidence. We need one inquiry after another, but we never see any result whatsoever.
What I find laughable is that the PM has warned the National Assembly not to use abusive language against any institution of the country. Fine. Under article 63 of the constitution, abusive language could not be used against superior judiciary & armed forces. But what about the right of common man in the constitution? Do they have any right at all? We know it damn well that there is no human right norm in this country.
Moreover, cameraman Abdul Salam Soomro is the person who filmed this deadly incident & he has been receiving threats ever since. I don’t think you could question the authenticity of the footage. I even said this in the case of Muneeb & Mugheez that the video had been the biggest evidence, but it seems no one who could make a difference wants to acknowledge its very existence. They are more interested in investigations & inquires that bear no fruit.
Now coming to the various stories I have heard & read about Sarfaraz Shah – it has been said that he tried to rob a policeman’s family. Some are saying that he misbehaved with ladies & they also found a toy gun in his possession. It has also been reported that he held a family hostage right at Benazir Park in Clifton.
In the video clip, it’s evident he is begging for mercy. He didn’t even use foul language when they shot him. Does a professional criminal behave in this way? Even ordinary people start abusing but Sarfaraz was really scared. They were beating him for no reason & then they were so pissed off that they fired at him. Maybe they are so used to killing people that they don’t think at all while shooting at someone helpless & unarmed. Many a times, people die in police custody & no action is ever taken. Life is indeed very cheap in Pakistan. However, 2 rangers have been booked & let’s see what happens. There is again a bit of noise.
Since we share our links on various websites, we often get weird messages. This particular person watched the clip & he couldn’t understand the language but he never bothered to read any post on it. He presumed Sarfaraz could have been a rapist & pretty much guilty, which is why the rangers shot him. This person also believed there is just one solution to this kind of problem – Islam ought to be destroyed. What happened has nothing to do with any religion & I really can’t understand why do people presume so much. They want to stay in some myth, they are most welcome. Crime is not a thing that only happens in Pakistan. It happens everywhere. Just because we are Muslims, so everyone thinks he has a right to be judgmental. Seriously I wonder if we could ever have a decent image of Pakistan.
