Open Letter to Dr. Shahid Masood

Sir,

Hats off for you for the programme that you sir have been anchoring.. You are my MENTOR and i really look forward to look at every single airing of your programme religiously..!

Dr Sahib i am pushed to write this email to you at an hour where the Pakistani Nation is hopeless and see nothing good coming their way…

Sir this is a defining moment for a nation who wants to seek representation worldwide.. And i write as a literate, educated and aware Pakistani who wants his country (with the rest) prospering… I also write after having a look at one of your recent programmes on GEO tv which had Mr Kiyani as a visiting person.. Sir my due apologies but i think it was the most hedious interview i have ever seen at ure programme (considering that i am a regular viewer of your programme and mista hamid meer’s programme CAPITAL TALK even though i ignore my wife and she has till date hated it). Those are My first thoughts after having a look at it with my due apologies sir.. U do not come on a programme with a stature like that of yours having an international viewage and talk about your own president like what Mr Kiyani did , He not just made a mockery out of himself but gave us an image of being a nation of fools. My apologies sir but that is the first thought that comes to my mind and plz sir pardon me being blunt because i want to be…

Mai aik aam pakistani hoon! I am also struggling to become something in life.. And i have my own share of miseries and problems..

Sir i would just like to comment again with due appologies that he Blamed ” Mr Mushrraf ” for Tampered reasons and for what reasons.. His body language said that he is being “BIASED” .. By chance Dr Sahib I was watching your programme with one of my indian colleagues.. I am ashamed being a pakistani and having to view an interview by an Ex-Arms officer talking like that for his ex senior office (Mr Pervez Musharraf) infront of my Indian colleague who asked me why was an army officer saying something like that ON NATIONAL TV.. i am ashamed..! Although i don’t believe that the entire situation is as bad as it has been projected to people and the way it has been tampered to make people analyze in a wrong way.. We are talking about people 80% of which are non literate and only understand situations the way they have been dictated to them.. Its a shame dr sahib it is..! i would just like to say as a literate minority in the Pakistani population it is our duty (mine and yours) to let our people know about the true facts. The fact is that if Mr Musharraf hadn’t done what he did in 1999 and then in 2001 after 9/11 i am sure we would have been bombed to stone ages the way it has been done with IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN and now they have IRAN on their list. It was a good INTELLIGENT step by him.. Survive and then fight the enemy. Mr Musharraf is the man .. He is my HERO even if the whole world thinks i am crazy in saying that i would say that out loud and would be damn proud of it.. He has tried his best and has neva found a cabinet, a group, a bunch of people who could be true patriots like him for this COUNTRY and guide him to make the right choices and decisions. YES Dr Sahid Masood that is where he has gone wrong.. In selecting the right people with “HIM”

I would like to talk to you about people who voted for Mr Zardari and Mr Nawaz Sharif..! ” OUR NATION ” .. who hardly know why and for what reason they are voting and for whom.. Sir i would like to explain.. I have a friend he is a sales man in one of the shops at Jinnah super market.. We were having a post election debate/conversation and he said that he voted for PPP apparently because he is a “BHUTTO” supporter and has been through his family and that he did it just for BHUTTO.. At first i had a laugh which obviously offended him and so i asked ” WHY DID U VOTE FOR PPP BEING LEAD BY MR 10% THINKIN THAT U R VOTING FOR BHUTTO WHEN THERE IS NO BHUTTO LEFT IN THAT PARTY..! Laughing Out Loud.. Also sir lets not forget, Mr Zardari is some 1 with a bad history and i should remind you again about the BHUTTO who was assassinated at a time when Ms Benazir Bhutto (Shaheed) was the prime minister.. Who did it it? Whose mustache was cut off after which the particular person got all pissed and we saw A BHUTTO being assassinated.. So lets not talk about DEMOCRACY in a country where people vote for dead people.. Not knowing that they are supporting a person who i feel is responsible for whipping out the entire BHUTTO clan one after another.. A person Dr Sahib who is a vicious person and a killer..!!!

Sir i am also a BHUTTO fan and a BHUTTO supporter and so is my family in particular my MOTHER.. My mother is the bestest of friends that i have and i have learnt a lot from her.. Sir Ms Benazir Bhutto (shaheed) was also my mentor and had she been not assasinated we wouldnt have seen all this happening in our COUNTRY as we see it now.. But sir i do not believe that by re-naming Bilalwal ZADARI .. As .. BILAWAL BHUTTO ZARDARI changes anything.. ANYTHING..! To date if there is a true BHUTTO it is ZULFIQAR JUNIOR BHUTTO.. He sir should have been the follower.. Is he in the picture..!! where is he.. Oh he has also be cordoned off..!!! But hey does it matter,, people still vote for some 1 who is a Killer of these BHUTTOS.. Pardon me for being blunt sir and biased about BHUTTOS AND Mista Zardari because i WANT TO BE..!

P.S. my friend still thinks he is justified by reasoning with me that he voted for PPP because of Bhutto and supported a BHUTTO killer..!!! And sir i still don’t understand how i should bend myself and my words to make him understand.. He is just a straight guy supporting his cause for BHUTTO’s and he is justified and that is where i give up because i do not know how to justify myself in front of him..!!! We r also an amalgamation of people who are “SEEDHAI SAADAI” loog who are being made a FOOL off.!! And they definitely need help in understanding the true facts..!!! Where Dr Shahid you have a crucial and a very IMPORTANT and RESPONSIBLE role to play..!

People who voted for MR NAWAZ SHARIF.. Were they justified in doing so..!! Sir has he been able to fulfill his election campaign promises.. Have the judges been re-instated or rather would they be re-instated in co-ordination with the constitution? EVER!!!! .. Sir.. Understand and know we are a nation with our own ulterior motives.. So did Mr Kiyani, Mr Zardari and Mr Sharif..! They all have their own motives for everything.. Has any one thought about a nation where young girls are being raped, poor people don’t have enough to eat, youth has gone wild, young boys who should have positive thoughts about building their future and contributing to the country are committing suicides, people are making their own judgments.. WHAT IS HAPPENING..!!! and what is to come next..!!!

I don’t think Mr Musharraf has anything to do even remotely close to the situation that this country is facing today.. It is a battle field where it is survival of the fittest, contributors of which are our own bent politicians.. It is a battle field contributor member of which is Mista Shareef who left this country when it most needed him.. Why did he not choose to live it the hard way in jail and standing against the “AMIR” as they say, Why did he not do all this at that time back then if he was so bloody loyal to this country and lawyers and oh talking about lawyers.. Sir would you have ever wanted to go to the courts 10 years back where these lawyers who today kall themselves the literate klass.. What are they all about.. And don’t you know all about them..!! Why?? why??!!! .. KICKBACKS is what they are all about.. Why did he decided to leave this country’s fate in the hands of some 1 whom he blames to be a tresoner today..!!! Its because he was WRONG in his own doings back then and that is how i understood as “AN AAM PAKISTANI”.. And today he blames a brave man who still is standing brave against all these crocodiles & stern conditions and situations and some foolish part of our nation..!! Who is the one man who stood up against them and said no he will do something for this country. ” MR PERVAIZ MUSHARRAF ” ..Today sir we have an international standing on many things which we were not even klose too in 1999.. Undoubtedly sir he has done for this country in 10 years that no other politician has done.. TODAY before all this stage drama of politicians (People who just have their own ulterior motives) if we talk about NATIONAL RECONCILIATION and TOLERANCE then why don’t we tolerate our President.. I out of the entire nation say that he has a just cause sir he does..!!

So if we say that there shouldn’t be politics of revenge then we should also not blame our president like this on a programme that of a stature of YOURS having a good international viewage.. And lets understand why the kargil operation was really such a loss for the Pakistani nation.. Why was America supported after 9/11.. Why was the Lal Masjid operation staged.. BY ALL MEANS SIR I WOULD SAY A MOSQUE IS NOT A PLACE FOR AK47zzZ..!!! A MOSQUE IS A PLACE FOR PEACE..!!! Lets understand that we should never support any one trying to change that because that changes our air as MUSLIMS and projects something bent to the world, projects that we as MUSLIMS are TERRORISTS.. Sir i ask you if you were in Mr Musharaffs shoes would you have wanted to SHAHEED muslims like that.. I am sure he NEVER EVER wanted it too either.. No Muslim would have wanted it.. But these finatic elements left him with no choice..!! i am surprised at the nation who wanted an early end to the lal masjid situation and when it was handled or manhandled (doesnt matter since at that time an end was more important and what really mattered was that we were being blamed internationally of having TALIBAN 5 kilometers off our PRESIDENCY and it needed to be fixed) they make an issue out of it..!! He is the one man who i believe in a true way has stood up for “PAKISTAN” and the “PAKSITANI” people and is sill fighting for the right..!!!! He has given you sir the leverage to discuss things the way they were abused at your programme with Mr Kiyani being the visiting member..

Lets not do it that way..!!!!!

Lets TOLERATE & UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE which is factual..!! Lets Be wise ..! And project it wisely to a NATION that definitly needs wise guidance and lets not forget that our political hero’s are somehow zeros because of their own malfunctioning personalities..!!!

Lets think about our NATION!!!

I know you might not take notice of this mail and me because after all i am an ordinary PAKISTANI..! But i am content that i took some time out of my busy routine to write this email to you and express my grief on the gravity of situation that we as a nation are into..!

I only ask you to be responsible and even at your forum guide me towards the RIGHT!! because as a PAKISTANI i moan at the gravity of this situation and as a true loyal concerned pakistani wants my country to prosper and be a nation of Developed nurtured (in terms of literacy) individuals..!!

Lets think about “OUR” …. “NATION”

Best Regards
