Nothing is what it seems

Thanks to yellow journalism, we get to know half-baked stories & truth as ever is guarded by lies. Everyone who is killed is projected as saint whereas the real events that led to the crime are hidden. No one has the right to kill anyone how people are being killed in Pakistan. There is no justification for murder & other heinous crimes. At the same time, no one has the right to take the law in his hand & punish those who are guilty. But we are an illiterate nation & not just that, compassion is totally missing.

Now quite frankly, one doesn’t know the real story. However, we have been passionately supporting Muneeb, Mugheez & Sarfaraz Shah. The manner in which they have been killed is absolutely unacceptable but the circumstances that led to the actual crime had never been properly highlighted. Everyone turns out to be a dacoit. It’s hard to believe the zillion stories that circulate.

I once wrote on this rape case in which a woman was raped twice in the same week by different men. Naturally I was quite pissed off & the story was disturbing. But after 3 weeks or so, I discovered through a reliable source that she was never raped. Along with her husband, she plotted against these men.

It’s very difficult to tell who is innocent & who has been wronged. And the kind of media we have, everything turns into something else. Instead of reporting, they prefer giving opinions & distorting the real story.

Almost 8 years ago, I gave up my research on JJSO, cause again through some source, I got info that made me question as to why I had been supporting certain juvenile offenders. I even gave up writing letters in the newspaper, cause I didn’t know if I had been supporting right kind of people. It really pricks your conscience when you support those who are guilty.

We may never come to know the real story, thanks to our media. And my sister very rightly said that we should stay away from these Pakistani stories.

Youth shot dead by rangers in Karachi

Again a young man has been killed by rangers in Karachi. Sarfaraz Shah was quite young & they are painting him as a professional criminal.Almost a year ago Muneeb & Mugheez were brutally murdered by monsters & justice has not been delivered so far & here we have another case in which this boy is killed by rangers. You could see video footage of this murder as well.

The boy was arrested in Benazir Bhutto Park. According to the rangers, he was involved in dacoity. However, his family is saying that he went to the park for outing. Whatever the reason is, the rangers have no right to killed someone just like that. His brother Salik Shah is a reporter & the journalists held a protest at the chief minister’s house. Moreover, I just don’t buy this shitty story. They are saying that a family had been held hostage by some dacoit in the park. When the rangers asked him to surrender, he refused point blank & they just shot him. It is also reported that he even grabbed the weapons of the security forces. It doesn’t seem so from the video that this young man was such a big threat or he was even involved in robbing. Plus, he was begging for his life.

Naturally we can’t expect much when security forces instead of protecting people go around killing innocent folks. Sarfaraz just like Muneeb & Mugheez seemed innocent but we will have zillions of stories questioning his innocence as well.

I’m not surprised cause I’m from a country where such things happen every now & then. Some pull the trigger & kill you. Some make sure you kill yourself. Life happens to be really cheap & we have no clue as to what is justice. Might is right & life is cheap. Although various political parties have condemned this incident but so what? This thing will happen again. There is no compassion whatsoever. Even ordinary people never think twice before hurting anyone with their words & deeds, & I have written this particular thing a zillion times. They may not kill you but they wouldn’t mind if you commit suicide either; then they will have more fun judging you.

Even though video of this murder is available online but do not expect much. Justice is not for the common man. And it’s also amazing that someone or the other is always making video. A day will come when we will feel nothing after watching such videos. As it is we are already dead.
