Incidences-turned coincidences

When the head of an institution fails to fulfill his or her assigned responsibilities and becomes unable to run the institution concerned smoothly, he or she resigns morally by admitting failures or at least being transferred or deposed by higher authorities. In developed countries, politicians, government officials, and others in a position of authority are open to criticism, admit their failures, and wish for betterment.

Generally, politics is for public welfare, the security forces for maintaining peace, and the media for awareness; while in Pakistan, politics is for offspring’s welfare, and the media for justifying these practices. In Pakistan, the law is for the poor, prisons for critics, death for innocents, privileges for the rich, rewards for sycophants, and peace for rulers.

In the country, there are neither revolutions nor evolutions; rather there are incidents after incidents. In the world, incidents are detected, investigated, and rooted out; while in Pakistan, incidents are predicted, condemned, and turned soon into coincidences. After a large number of incidences and their sudden turning into coincidences, it can be said that the country has become home to incidences-turned coincidences.

After Imran Khan was ousted and PDM ascended to the throne, terrorism in Pakistan reached new heights. The PDM central government blamed the then-IK-led KP government for boosting insurgency in the country for political interests. When Islamabad and Pindi were hit by two consecutive suicide bomb blasts, local government polls in Islamabad were deferred sine die. So, the PDM was also not in favor of these polls. On Jan 30, 2023, a suicide bomb shook a masque in KP, leaving one hundred plus people dead and more than 150 injured, but soon after the incident, the so-called journalists and some of the government officials foretold that general elections might be delayed at least for another year – 2024. In 2014, the APS incident shook Pakistan and brought IK’s 126-day-long sit-in to an end. Nowadays, bomb blasts and terrorist attacks are at their peak and perhaps may culminate in another coincidence. When incidences turn into coincidences, then it becomes natural for questions and doubts to arise. One wonders, how every incidence is followed by a coincidence.

Like other countries in the world, Pakistan also tries its best to maintain national integrity by having a common enemy; rather than by developing its human capital. Pakistan has two common enemies: terrorism and India. Terrorism in Pakistan and enmity with India are the main incentives for maintaining unity in Pakistan. The political consensus in Pakistan has always been at the cost of blood and deaths. Whenever and wherever a terrorist attack occurs, India is blamed for it. In fact, behind every incidence, there is a security lapse or administrative negligence. Generally, terrorists are dealt with iron hands, but in Pakistan, terrorists are appeased, glorified and even negotiations are held with them.

When innocent citizens and security personnel are killed in terrorist attacks, government officials condemn the attack slightly and ignore the incidence only by declaring the murdered people martyrs. In Pakistan, terrorist attacks have become the order of the day. Are we, our children, and our security personnel born only to accept martyrdom? Do mothers give birth to children only for achieving martyrdom? Has the duty of politicians left only to loot the country and take revenge on one another?

Have the politicians held security institutions accountable for the ongoing insurgency in the country so far? Have security officials ever been criticized, transferred, replaced, punished, or deposed for bad performance and failure in bringing peace? In the history of Pakistan, to date, has any political leader admitted his or her failure in restoring peace? Absolutely not!

It is high time both politicians and security officials admit their failures and put their houses in order. Pakistan cannot afford more incidences. Incidences should not be turned into coincidences anymore. Security lapse and administrative negligence should be readdressed. Politicians, security institutions, judiciary, and media have failed in making the country a place to live in; they must realize their real responsibilities. Otherwise, one day the people will be forced to take up arms for their own protection. Then there will be neither politics nor state; but only darkness.
