Law & Order
Is there any Government functioning in Sindh ?
Two years back I was in my native Town Shikarpur on Eid Ul- Fitre with my Family, on Chand Raat dacoits looted the national High way from 4PM to 9pm in night, just before Town Of Lakhi(it is also a Tehsil of Shikarpur) the Home town of Mr. GHous Bux Mahar than federal Minster of Railways( Now he deals in Narcotics). The Spot where this dacoity was being committed is just in front of his Village called Wazir Abad and lights of his home can be seen from the point looting was being done at will and at their own pace! Than Police officers from Shikarpur went to Dacoits not for encounter but to request them to stop the Lootings it is enough for today and carry that on some other day as Family of DPO ( DISTRICT POLICE OFFICER) has to go for Shopping in Sukkur as Chand Raat Custom.
This is the order of the day In Current Sindh, it happened Two years back but today it is worst not good, there is none of concern of Federal or Provincial Government of an ethnic party who has got Sindh on Thaika (Contract), There is army post in Shikarpur, rangers have there own camp and strength, police and other A to Z agencies are there to make life miserable of poor Sindhis but no one bothers to stop dacoities on highways, abduction & hijacking of poor Sindhis for ransom, killing, theft & dacoities, sexual crimes and other crimes like vehicle snatching etc etc name it and it is common in interior Sindh.
More strange is phenomenon that people take their cases to their SARDARS than to courts of law because decision is sold openly in our courts and time it will take to reach a decision on a petty matter it will be of no use to any party, it is common saying In Sindh that in the past wakeels (lawyers) were sold but now a days decisions are purchased. These sardars no matter how illiterate or ignorant they are but will try to give a fare decision, no matter it is concomitant with LAW or not. What I have seen that DCOs and Deputy Commissioners of the area will also advise people to go to there local sardars and get problem solved, it is cheap and quick too! According to them they are solving the people’s problem if this is way to solution than where is Law, why there are courts, Judges and lawyers in Sindh and where is writ of law !!
Mockery of the situation is judges were hijacked from
The phenomenon of hijacking for ransom was started in Sindh in the Zia Era when police and Army killed people in MRD movements and thousands of Sindhis were put in jails or went under ground, there was no jobs for Sindhis in government due to hatred of General for Sindhis and Peoples party, he used every illegal means to press and squeeze Sindhis economically, socially and physically so that they should forget Peoples party and Bhutto for ever. He brought afghans, Kalashnikov, Drugs like Heroin, made ethnic organization which on his directives divided Sindh for ever in Urban and rural Sindh and sown hatred among brethren, people living in same Towns, Villages and cities were always cordial to each other, Sindhis are secular by nature , there land has always people from other countries, they came and settled there and became Sindhis with time, there are Arabs, Balochi, Pathans, Africans and various Indian and central Asian nationalities in Sindh but they don’t call them selves Arabs or Balochi they are Sindhis now.. so were the Urdu speaking Sindhis, they had no separate Political parties or ethnic party like they got by General Zia and his crony Ghous Ali Shah than Sindh chief Minister. The ethnic party needs a separate write up but now we are concern with Law and order in Sindh, which is no where.
Most of the Urdu speaking Sindhis were associated with religious Parties like Jamait Islami and Jameat ulma i Islam etc, like Indian Muslims, As they don’t have separate main stream parties their leaders are mostly Imams of Mosques or same religious parties existing in India as in Pakistan hence there was need and vacuum to exploit there conscious and Zia did that to crush Sindhis and for ever sew a seed of hatred among Sindhis and Urdu speaking Sindhis. Even today after his departure and coalition of Sindhis and Urdu speaking parties in Sindh, they are deeply divided.
Ethnic party is only a bunch of black mailers, they have always black mailed governments they gave their votes till they could no longer bear them, the devil created by zia was so power full once that they started killing Army officers and started torturing them in their special cells, even today the things are same, they will kill any opposition they have in Karachi and Hyderabad. Sindh’s urban cities are distinctly divided in Sindhi and Urdu Areas, today all lucrative jobs and finance of the Sindh is in there hands even the killings and abductions for ransom in interior Sindh if investigated properly will end at Nine zero.
There is very strange phenomenon in Sindh and its Law & order even today the dacoits will loot the buses from interior Sindh and hijack only Sindhis very rarely a non sindhi will be harmed, there are news of killings, karokari, rape and abduction in every Sindhi News paper and these News consume 80% of printed space of those papers, remaining space is for other news and advertisement of cassettes and tender notices in Sindhi papers.
Sindh is very unfortunate mass of land although it has distinction of being one of oldest civilization on earth but since last 500 to 600 years it has gradually lost its peace and freedom. First at the Hands of Arabs(1400YEARS AGO) with invasion of Muslim forces than again at the hands Of Mughals, Arghons, Tarkhans and other afghan or Iranian dacoits than English.
FINALLY since 1947 they are facing systematic genocide, they first lost their Education system and lands which are best cultivable lands on earth, British and after them Pakistani governments dole their lands illegally to people who have no right on this land from other areas of Pakistan, like millions of acres are already given to retired army men and with possession of land they will bring there own farmers and workers to cultivate that land and Sindhis who were farming that land since 4000 years are suddenly out of job !! They have nothing to eat or to live because they had small house on the land they were farming and that had been allotted to some general, colonel or Subaidar.. he will not only bring his people with him but being a retired untouchable he will rule the area, he will harass the local police by his contacts at federal level or in Army (Army is only party in Pakistan with un measurable resources), next he will take extra share of water with consent of Irrigation officers who are bunch of 100% corrupt officers or officials or will take others share at source, the neighboring land lord either will remain bullied or will be bullied by local authorities in the favor of colonel sahib, next phase is expansion of colonels lands in to surrounding that also by hook or crook and now most of the land of many districts of the Sindh is in the hands of colonels and generals of our very professional Army.
These People has no interest or attachment with locals and with land they got for their services they want only power and money, with times urban Sindh is gone to one ethnic group and rural Sindh soon will be in the hands of another group of land mafia.
These are few of many factors of law les ness and anarchy in Sindh which is there and now it is an industry of hijacking in Sindh, industry of Car theft and its disposal, industry of Land grabbers, Mafia of Heroin smugglers and name the crime from cyber theft to water theft it is there and as an Epidemic.
One of the prime reason for lawless ness is also ratio of jobless ness, un competitive ness of Sindhi graduates due to death of education system in Sindh, helpless ness of locals at every step of administration, they have to pay for every file at every step of its moment no matter how important or un important it is but same thing a non sindhi will get with out paying a penny in that office, Sindhi MNAs,MPAs and senators are only meant for maintaining their status they will not care for development of their constituencies, many of Sindh TOWNS and villages have no source of potable water, No roads or sewerage system if there is one it was last repaired or maintained at the time of British.
At every step occasional brilliance and exception is there but very very rare, order of the day is that law & order does not exist in Sindh.
They have very hopeless future there is no hope for Miracle, even miracles ceased to occur for sindhis after 1947.
I have stopped going Home! I get more depressed by witnessing the grim situation there & feel like dying in a blind well where most of my beloved one are dying a collective death.
Is there any hope for Sindh……No I think realistically!!
