Pakistan: Life is cheap and miserable here. Asian Tigers, business tycoons, military strategic partners, and aggressive contractors fighting hard to find ways to suck the blood of ignorant or innocent human beings of this earth who are daily deceived through beautiful words and jargon, statistics, dreamy images and lifestyles.
Irshad Ahmad, Humanist, Pakistan
What is the motive behind the globalization agenda pushing every force of this earth to achieve its “capital or profit as ethic” with politics are behind the scene. How much do these greedy business tycoons and rich janta need? Nobody knows. Their bellies are bottomless baskets, the whole universe can’t fill it.
Yesterday, 45 innocent citizens (Ismaile Shias) including women and men were shoot down on a bus in Karachi. At the same time business minded ruling elites from all political parties in an All Parties Conference were eating ice-cream and discussing how to benefit from the economic corridor from Kashgar (China) to Gawadar (Pakistan). Several analysts directly linked this economic corridor and business plan signed with the Chinese president and with the Pakistan Prime Minster last month to the shootings. This is not a business package but a action movie full of thrills, suspense and horror.
It is as if these incidents are just trailers of a Hollywood action movie in which villains try to disrupt so-called business plans and the hero tries to save it, shooting and driving along streets while simple passers-by and other innocents die in these actions. Movie directors never seem to care about these innocents killed through combat between them and villains on the streets. What happens to them? All movies are silent on these questions.
How many will be killed till the end of this action movie that is full of violence and horror; nobody has answers except the director. Only he or she knows the ups and downs. However, our world will see lots of action on Pakistan cinema screens from Khujnarab to Gawadar. We can guess how numerous bullets will be fired at weak and innocent minorities so that the media and the world can be attracted to learn about their issues.
Why were Ismailies targeted in yesterday attack? The logic is simple. The Economic Corridor starts from Khunjrab, Hunza and ends at Karachi or Gawardar. Ismaili are sitting at the entry point and at the exit point. Who is behind these attacks is not a puzzle but simple! All business tycoons or business seeking governments that feel threatened by this so-called development or business packages or plan. Who are actors of this action movie? All parties, groups, and factions that get sponsorships from the business tycoon governments or its agencies.
Who will be winner? Only contractors who will earn money through their contracts, banks who will transact money deals, transporters who will be responsible for logistics, middle men who will do nothing but cut more slices.
Who will be losers in this business package and killed on this stage? Minors, children, the innocents, old men and minorities?
Who will be given responsibilities for law and order and ultimately be tired and exhausted? Army and security agencies.
What is at stake in whole drama or film? HUMANITY.
Humanity is dying under different names such as modernization, terrorism, globalization, New World Order, balance of power, and McWorld. If we analyze existing budgets of governments we will find the highest percentage spent on military equipment, security personnel, infrastructure, economic corridors, then health, education, etc.. we will not find a single penny spent to save humanity from all these dragons and crocodiles eating up humanity in this horror movie.
People will meanwhile be victims of earthquakes, floods, road accidents, honour killings, tribal conflicts and family conflicts and these are not counted in this action movie. These will be dealt with as humanitarian issues. So they are on waiting lists as a disaster items.
What will the environment do with humanity as a result of these economic corridors, the director of the movie does not have an answer. How much money do directors and sponsors of such movies need? Nobody knows.
As soon as this economic corridor will be completed, presidents of both countries will inaugurate it. Then Ferraris’, Honda Civics, Toyotas, Mercedes Benze cars and others will fly along at aeroplane speeds. Business tycoons and other elites will enjoy the extras with their girlfriends at KFC, McDonald, Pizza Hut, and other luxury restaurants serving gentlemen and ladies left and rights, neat and clean with beautiful smiling staff.
Will there be a single human being on this road that smells the blood of these innocent human beings killed without knowing why they were killed in the sunshine during the construction stage of this business package?
All humanists like me will curse this action movie full of violence as it ignites violence, as we are non-violent and peaceful. Each scene of this movie is full of suspense and thrills. Prepare your mind for the next unpredictable action of the hero or villain.
Whatever the result of this movie, don’t forget to see the two sides of this drama; on one side dying, weeping and sobbing humanity and on the other side, business tycoons sunbathing on beautiful beaches with a bottle of scotch and chics as they accumulated lot of profit through this business package.
