Lal Mosque Story-First anniversary of Lal Masjid
Some sad events are remembered by every nation for whole of their lives. September 11 and 7/7 are prime examples of this in developed world in recent history. But how can one remember such terrifying events if they kept on taking place day after day, month after month and year after year.
It is exactly one year when brute force led by Pervez Musharraf, the bloody army chief ordered to storm the main building of Lal Masjid which was already sealed for last one week. It is hard to estimate the amount of deaths in this sad event but the claim of the principle of school Umme Hassan is terrifying. she said that there were around 2700 girl students present inside the mosque prior to operation but Musharraf just claimed other day that no girl student or women was killed in the operation.According to fact finding mission report of jamate Islami there were more than 4000 girl students killed during operation.
Unfortunately, we are living in a society which is deeply polarized and this polarization is even reached to the depth of our intellectuals and writers as well.In such circumstances,it is very difficult to analyze an event neutrally .As far as the case of Lal Masjid is concerned,it is established now that in this case there was extreme man - handling by both sides.
In fact, the biggest mistake was done by Ghazi brothers .They both failed to visualize the situation and the post 9/11 situation around the world specially against Islam and muslims. Ghazi Abdul Rasheed had done masters in I.R from Quaide azam university but he too failed to understand the basics of any revolution and the result of making state within state.
The students were kept at a distance from whole situation but made to obey their heads and most students were under the age of 15 ,so what can one expect from such innocent students.
The other main participant was Q league under the umbrella of Musharraf and it was fruitless to expect from them to do anything against the wishes of Musharraf .In fact they play their role to getting the situation to worst level.
The need of the day is not to search for the heads of suicide bombers but those who killed innocent children in a mosque.PPP government should make a lagal commission to investigate the whole information and the accused should be brought to justice if this nation is to survive and survive with pride.
