Three Months, Three Days
By Saleem Khan • Aug 25th, 2008 • Category: Politics • 8 CommentsToday, after offering Fajr prayers, I started reminding “Mr. Asif Ali Zardari and his promises” that he is doing with political parties, influential personalities and a Nation, since he is on the driving seat of PPP chairmanship after assassination of Benazir Bhutto on 27th December 2007.
One of his promises was that his government will officially investigate the assassination of Benazir Bhutto from UNO. Pakistan officials announced this decision on 22nd May 2008 i.e. exactly “Three Month and Three Days” ago. After this announcement, there is no news of any follow up from PPP or its Chairman Asif Ali Zardari. After all, it is a matter of their PPP leader and Asif Ali Zardair’s wife.
The News said;
“…. Islamabad, May 22 (IANS) Pakistan, Thursday demanded a UN probe into the assassination of former prime minister and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chief Benazir Bhutto. The charismatic Bhutto was killed in a gun and bomb attack at an election rally in Rawalpindi Dec 27, sparking widespread violence that killed 20 people.
Then caretaker government presided over by President Pervez Musharraf initially termed the death accidental. A government spokesman said that Bhutto died after her head hit the latch of her bombproof Toyota Land Cruiser.
Government officials later said she might have been murdered.
“We want a proper international probe into the murder. I have sent a letter to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon,” Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Quresi told a press conference he addressed jointly with Law Minister Farooq H. Naek.
Naek said that soon after the killing, the PPP asked the president and the caretaker government to seek a UN probe but “they did not bother to send the letter to the UN”.
He said that the letter requesting a UN probe would be handed over through Pakistan’s permanent representative to the UN. He said the decision to send the letter was taken after national and provincial parliaments passed resolutions to this effect.
The then government asked for a Scotland Yard probe. The Yard announced Feb 8 that Benazir Bhutto was killed after her head hit the knob on the sunroof following the bomb explosion.
Naek said the Scotland Yard team was given a “limited mandate”.
“They were given the mandate to investigate whether it’s a murder but not to investigate who are the persons behind the hideous crime.” hr said.
The PPP refused to accept the Yard’s ruling and continued to demand a UN probe into what it said was murder.
Bhutto’s husband and PPP leader Asif Ali Zardari even alleged that the previous government was directly or indirectly involved in the assassination.
On the day she died, Bhutto stood up and, peeping through its sunroof, waved to the crowds.
Suddenly, a gunman fired shots at her, and subsequently explosives were detonated near the vehicle killing approximately 20 people. Bhutto was critically wounded and rushed to a hospital where she was pronounced dead….”
My question is, a man who is not serious to fulfil promises of more personal nature (i.e. His own wife murder)… will he or his party ever bother fulfilling promises they made with the Nation. Few of those promises are “Roti, Kapra aur Makkan”, “Independent Judiciary”, “True Democracy”, “Combating Terrorism”, “Decreasing Poverty Level”, “Bringing Peace & Harmony in the Society”, bala… bala…!

Mr. Khan, your writing hinges on the assumption that Mr. Zardari is himself not directly (or indirectly) part of the assassination plot for his like-minded wife.
That’s a big assumption.
Tides have incorporated thrust as current to move towards the sea shore.
Though they have, a power to move and cover a bit more distance but opposite hindrance as ground or depth or acceleration, suddenly culminate the peak by breaking the regular move.
Almost similar basic principles is utterly observed in every concepts of human nature whether its physiological study of organ in human body, to desire.
Infact, it’s the last minute epistle that makes the man, a victorious, during a contest.
An action expresses your intention.
Intended motive has a fear factor which runs parallel with the motive.
Since motive resides in the depth of mind of the contestant or the terminator, application of subject as preference, priority or liability is the part and parcel of his illegitimate or legitimate bearings, as and at his own will and choice.
What we see from distance have blurred and uncalculated mislead information based on virtual reality.
In order to perceive as sensible, so to define exclusively in a calculated way, integrated phenomenon of perception as senses is required.
Fake verbal expression as slogan are expression of originating thoughts so to calm the diversity of desire in a classical fantasia way thereby recruiting the perceiver in euphoria tic way.
People in the run of reign have extraordinary tendency to retire the thoughts of their listener, their by keeping them engage and preoccupied with in the made slogan, so to continue their endless motive.
Dr. Raza Haider Sahab:
Now please tell us in English what do you want to say and we will listen to your words of wisdom to benefit from them. It seems you have paid no heed to the excellent advice of Bertrand Russell to which I had drawn your attention few days back in response to a similar show of verbosity by you while discussing your post titled ‘The Cow’.
I will like to reproduce the said advice of BR once again in case you did not read it for some reason. We will be grateful to you if you followed his advice which is as follows:
” There are some simple maxims which I think might be commended to writers of expository prose. First : never use a long word if a short word will do. Second: if you want to make a statement with great many qualifications; put some of the qualification in separate sentences. Third: do not let the beginning of your sentence lead the reader to an expectation which is contradicted by the end. Take, say such a sentence as the following, which might occur in a work on sociology: ‘Human beings are completely exempt from undesirable behaviour patterns only when certain prerequisites, not satisfied except in a small percentage of actual cases, have, through some fortuitous concourse of favourable circumstances, whether congenital or environmental, chanced to combine in producing an individual in whom many factors deviate from the norm in a socially advantageous manner’. Let us see if we can translate this sentence into English. I suggest the following: ‘ All men are scoundrels or at any rate almost all. The men who are not must have had unusual luck, both in their birth and in their upbringing.’ This is shorter and more intelligible, and says just the same thing . But I am afraid any professor who used the second sentence instead of the first would get the sack.
I suggest to young professors that their first work should be written in a jargon only to be understood by the erudite few. With that behind them, they can ever after say what they have to say in a language ‘ understanded of the people’. In these days , when our very lives are at the mercy of the professors, I cannot but think that they would deserve our gratitude if they adopted my advice”.

Kabir Das
” You are flute Player ” before a Bull, Raza will never get it. ” Ya Ali Madad ”
” Your are Goodman The Lantern ”
In Indian subcontinent, Lantern was a common source of light. Many companies manufactured lanterns, but the most popular ” Goodman Lantern, was considered The Best ” People were so happy with its built, and performance, that when they really like some one, called him ” He is a Goodman The Lantern”
Dear Das it would be a pleasure to write as suggested and advised by you and Russell.
But sir I have a little more deviant problem. I don’t write for the people.
Das it’s not necessarily a compulsion to react and response as desired by populace at large or according to the need of the understandable capacities of the people.
It is also not mandatory to address and explain the theme, as remarks, to the reader.
Das have you ever notice a discussion between two professionals whether a doctor or an aeronautical expert or similar professional siblings.
Any one who is new or lay man on the subject of discussion between professionals, have such problems, as is being faced by you or any body else unfamiliar with the theme of the prose.
Dear, my point is simple. Do not pay much attention, as it will take another 50 years to understand and familiarize, what is being shed.
Das, there are at least two ways for any existing phenomena, the right and the wrong.
Similarly Das logical interpretation has no start up.
Das rectify your wrong perception. People don’t get projections from public opinion and remarks.
In a Fight between contestants, participants are the key factor, whereas people have the choice to support and applause their choices only.
In spite of the verbal annoyance and extreme of dislike by opinion holders and supporters, winners breach their path towards victory.
“The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.” (BR).
“Although this may seem a paradox, all exact science is dominated by the idea of approximation. When a man tells you that he knows the exact truth about anything, you are safe in inferring that he is an inexact man.”(BR).
Good one! liked it - Doctor Raza Haider Sahib!
Dr. Razahaider
I am impressd.This is the best comment, you wrote so far. I just love it. very well written.
You could’t Have said it better.
Oh yes, though you indirectly mentioned, but, either ignored, or forget to address me directly.
So nice of you.
Saeed Khan: Thanks for compliment. Never heard of this phrase before.
My good doctor sahab:
Please allow me to submit my views and comments on your musings parawise as follows:
You say: Dear Das it would be a pleasure to write as suggested and advised by you and Russell.
I say: If indeed it is a pleasure for you to write as suggested by me and BR then why not do it so. So please be advised not to say what you don’t mean.
You say: But sir I have a little more deviant problem. I don’t write for the people.
I say: So you do admit you have a ‘deviant problem’. It was for this very deviant problem of yours (little or more) that I had taken upon myself to suggest a cure. If you don’t write for prople then pray who do you write for. Animals?
You say: Das it’s not necessarily a compulsion to react and response as desired by populace at large or according to the need of the understandable capacities of the people.
I say: Agree. However, if so a Blog is not the right place for you to write.
You say: It is also not mandatory to address and explain the theme, as remarks, to the reader.
I say: May I request you to elaborate and elucidate this statement unless you want to remain vague blaming the ‘capacities of the people’.
You say: Das have you ever notice a discussion between two professionals whether a doctor or an aeronautical expert or similar professional siblings.
I say: Yes sir, I sure did on many ocassions.
You say: Any one who is new or lay man on the subject of discussion between professionals, have such problems, as is being faced by you or any body else unfamiliar with the theme of the prose.
I say: To start off with doctor sahab will you please name the professionals you are talking of in this case? And also their professions or areas of their expertise if you don’t mind! Such a disclosure may help me, at least, to understand ‘the theme of the prose’ if not the prose itsef.
You say: Dear, my point is simple. Do not pay much attention, as it will take another 50 years to understand and familiarize, what is being shed.
I say: Wouldn’t then it be better if you ’shed’ it 50 years hence. Do you mean to say that you are saying something more profound than what for example CP Snow said in ‘The Waste Land’. I did have some problem but I did understand the theme of his poem. I would not like to mention some other works of litrature, philosphy and latest scientific theories which I have read and understood lest it be considered a boast. (I may do so in due course if I find it is necessary to cure you of your megalomania).
You say: Das, there are at least two ways for any existing phenomena, the right and the wrong.
I say: Do you mean to say: two ways TO UNDERSTAND any exisiting phenomena.
You say: Similarly Das logical interpretation has no start up.
I say: Says who? Elaborate and elucidate or make ref to the opinion some expert. Please also clarify if by ‘existing phenomenon’ you mean what is generally referred to as ‘the truth’.
You say: Das rectify your wrong perception. People don’t get projections from public opinion and remarks.
I say: They very much do. Ultimately the public opinion is the test of all.
You say: In a Fight between contestants, participants are the key factor, whereas people have the choice to support and applause their choices only.
I say: Agree. However ultimately they all applause the winner. Don’t they.
You say: In spite of the verbal annoyance and extreme of dislike by opinion holders and supporters, winners breach their path towards victory.
I say: That is what you think you are doing. I will withhold my comments about what I think you are doing till a later date since at this stage they may sound rude.
You say: “The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.(BR).
I say: Doctor sahab most of your statements mentioned above show you are ’so certain of’ yourself. Take for example your last statement:
” In spite of the verbal annoyance and extreme of dislike by opinion holders and supporters, winners breach their path towards victory”.
You say: “Although this may seem a paradox, all exact science is dominated by the idea of approximation. When a man tells you that he knows the exact truth about anything, you are safe in inferring that he is an inexact man.”(BR).
I say: True very true indeed.
Have a good day or night as the case may be.
