The Writing on the Wall

Urstruly:

Aren`t you a supporter of SSP? I thought you were completely on their side.

This wall chalking has become quite a nuisance, it only makes our country look even more grubby

Good article.

When Sipah-e-Sahaba first started chalking its hate filled slogans all around Karachi, in 80s, they used the acronym ``ASS`` for its name, Anjuman-e-Sipah-e-Sahaba. Some days later mysteriously a picture of an ass (donkey) started appearing on all of their wall chalkings. The ASS people, at this, made an extra effort to erase the picture of ass throughout the city and changed the name of their party to ASSP i.e. Anjuman-e-Sipah-e-Sahaba, Paksitan.

``The most intractable problem that any police chief in Sindh finds on his hands is the legacy within the ranks of the police personnel. Persons of dubious character and wholly flawed antecedents were inducted into the police by the hundreds, may be by the thousands. There is no way the police chief can rid the force of these tainted men in the force who may already have put in so many years of `service` - service only to themselves.``

/////Above is from dawn of today. This writer is fantastic, he has one extra step, he has found that increasing the police is no answer to the crime problem of pakistan. The poor man, he cannot make the most important deduction, a society that legitises killing, that calls killers as shaheeds and bestows wealth on the relatives of the dead will eventually become like pakistan. The only hope for pakistan is to learn from the israelis, the house of the realtives of the so called shaheeds should be demolished. The jihadist goes to heaven, but leaves his relatives in hell. This will put an end to the relatives egging thier sons to death in return for shaheedic rewards.

MARKS ON THE WALL

``There was an uninterrupted supply of electricity throughout the year and enough water. The smart Anglo-Indians and Goans who were entrenched in the middle ranks of the traffic police, were people-friendly and scrupulously honest. They roared through the narrow streets on their Norton four-stroke engines, keeping a perfect vigil over what passed for traffic in the early days. The police generally had a relatively easy time. There were no sectarian killings or ethnic violence. Just an occasional demonstration in a cotton mill or a cement factory against the excesses of the management.

There were dozens of bars and bawdy night clubs where fading continental blondes from the bistros of Istanbul and Athens titillated the jaded appetites of men in search of pleasure, and the more sophisticated black-tie-and-dinner- jacket casino in the Central Hotel where leading politicians and businessmen dined and danced to the music of Stefan Eros and his Hungarian Serenaders. There were also members clubs and the Railway Institute. ``

///aBOVE IS ABOUT KARACHI, IN THE 1950s and the poor author is wondering what happened to his childhood city of karachi. Wake up my friend, learn about TNT, the cristians have been cleaned out, so the hindus and that very ideology is cleaning out the good people, the criminals have taken over and soon it will be criminals against criminals and that would be the one nation. Muslims cannot live with hindus, TNT decared, criminals can live with criminals, Asghar declared.

I thought the author was being serious....

A very impressive journey into Third World (Pakistani) marketing.

Almost like the daily spam some of us get about.........

Dear Jay,

The armed man escaping from the scene of the attack on American Consulate General was arrested and has said he was paid by Al-Qaeda to carry out the attack.

``Let us quickly look at some of the major incidents that have taken place in the city during the month of February, and which mirror the depressing variety of reasons why there is lawlessness in this growing Sindh capital. One of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement`s leaders, Khalid bin Waleed was shot dead in an ambush in North Nazimabad; then came the shooting spree in Malir where nine persons were gunned down in seemingly sectarian violence; then another two persons were shot dead near Lighthouse in what appeared to be yet another case of target killing; and almost simultaneously there was a target killing in Federal B Area. And now comes this targeted attack outside the American Consulate General making one question the efficacy of the security measures that were in place at those premises also``

///Above is a writing on the wall no pakistani wants to see, the integration of jihad and burglary, thesft and crimes of greed. A society that legitimises killings by its citizens has opened the flood gates of murder and no tahmed wants to accept that.

Impressive. And the wisest of old men is ``Amil Nagi Bawa - Tamaam mardana kamzoorion ka ilaj.``

Can the Rangers personnel be charged for graffiti on the wall?

Cheers.

hilarious....
wit, observation, information and political satire. this one should be translated in Urdu and published locally...maybe as graffiti on a wall?:)

Ibrahim,

That is a very informative article on pakistan, the territorial markings as proclamation of who wears pants.

For nearly a decade now, in kerala marking on the walls by political parties are banned, and parties who have done that had to pay for the removal of what you call as wall chalking.

Even the basic school books and other printed matter are far more expensive in pakistan than in india and I remeber reading an article where nijam sethi imported books from india and was chastised for it.

The good old chines idea of sticking news papers on the walls is what pakistan has to do.

You did not mention anything about Pakistani women`s burden? What is the measure of womanhood in Pakistan?

We will solve all the problems after solving the mother of all problems. The raison d`etre for Pakistani men and woman is not manhood or womanhood or better living conditions; it is to secure a berth in heaven and Kashmir provides best mean to that end. Thanks to Kashmir and Taliban, Jannat will be filled by Pakistanis. The president, vice president, secretary and treasurer of the Association of heaven occupants will be all Pakistanis.
