295 of Sidhu Moose Wala put my thougt train on a journey of freedom struggle from Baghat Sigh to Imran Riaz Khan & got me to write a Punjabi poem this morning as well.
It dawned upon me that people of Central Punjab both Sikhs and Muslim were/ are brave and free in nature. The land, the water and the weather had to do alot with it. Then the obdurate British came up with the plan to look for weaker/ sellable casts. Boost and reward them pretty much like Mir Jaffars and Mir Sadiqs, with lands and perks. No offence intended but it is painful that some 'ostensibly noble' casts and regiments still take pride in their British association. Shameful to say the leastbut only if we knew what exactly are we doing? Likewise, there were casts/ races that resisted foreign occupation like Sikhs and Pathans. As part of British plan of segregation & division, they were mocked and were made to appear thick, purposefully overshadowing their premier trait of bravery. Likewise, those casts who supported Independence Struggle with money like Sheikhs and Memons, were belittled for being Kanjoos. Again watering down their generosity because their resources were being used against British.That derogatory attitude towards certain casts and races still persists along with mental slavery. We are still slaves to Black Angrez Party, The West India Company and the saga goes on.
Now let's relate and talk about current political landscape.
Imran Khan Niazi, The Leader is playing safe. He doesn’t want direct confrontation but he needed someone to take on Establishment.
Imran Riaz Khan, The Vlogger after being cornered, retaliated. Due to his unflinching nature and exuberance, IRK went an extra mile.
PTI used his situation for political mileage and allowed him being tossed around from district to district but no real support from PTI or it’s local leadership. Practically, ditched him. Individuals like Sidduque Jan were more involved in this baseless sequestration than PTI the political force.
Point to take home from IRK situation is that journalists should either officially join politics or stay the hell away.
In politics, everything in the end is political in nature.
They say politics is an art of possibilities but it may not hold true for our political milieu. Rather a game of opportunities.
Both Imran Khans come out winners.
IKN adroitly exploited gains of ‘regime change conference’ and successfully pitched journalists like Ayaz Amir, IRK etc against establishment. It puffed new life into deadening resistance against The WIC (West India Company - The Sovereign, his stooges and sold out mainstream media). However, his safe play is disappointing. He is still either listening to Establishment (which would make him the dumbest politician ever) or waiting for them to give him a sign. Well the signs are obvious but he is not reading them and running out of time and options.
IRK got more popular, more audience, more viewership and greater financial gains. He deserved it because he was being bullied by the WIC and being used by the antagonist (IKN).
Why IRK got noticed? How did he develop such fan following? How come mainstream media not getting any viewership? Quick answers. Peoples’ real sentiment and Media are two different things. For past four years, Media craved for easy money and its natural vent out was singing to the tunes of thugs and their handlers. West India Company (PDM & Institutions) has rewarded its starving whip-dog ( Pakistani Media) with govt sponsored ads. Pakistan being presented through Media Mafia is in total contrast to real sentiment of people.
How badly exposed is the company and its tool, Pakistani media.
There is no need to mention PDM. They are a stop gap arrangement and may soon complete their shelf life.
Where are we headed? Not sure. Will by-elections' results of Punjab Assembly change anything? Doesn’t look like. The Sovereignty has gone too far and will do all in his powers to stay The Sovereign because he’s too powerful. There is practically no entity, institution or individual to stand up to it. IRK did but they made sufficient example of him to deter the rest of them. Yet again IRK comes out winner because he showed the guts & grit to stand up to a mad bull in China Shop who is unable to reconcile with the power he enjoys at the moment. Only hope is that people are not ready to accept and live in this slavery.
Today as it stands, Imran Riaz Khan is the freedom fighter of enslaved Pakistan. Imran Riaz Khan ceased the moment. A challenge arises, not everyone can embrace it except the one chosen by the destiny. People budge & break, all of them can’t stand up to the challenge except the chosen one by the fortune. Path chosen by destiny, fortune & fortune rider is tumultuous. Fortune Rider may either earn martyrdom or rise from the ashes of despair, despondency & dejection as Hero. Heroics are consistent acts , hero has to live up to it. Hero worship has two down sides. It is contagious if people get carried away. It is contagious for the hero if he gets carried away. Watch your feet IRK on this route chosen by you, destiny & fortune.
On this auspicious day of Eid Al Adha we pray for a better and free Pakistan. Ameen
Only Allah knows the whole Truth.
Jazak Allah khair sir . Aameen sum aameen
