Very excellent views. Thanks. The fact which we deliberately
ignore or fail to understand is that Muslims need strict Qanoon (law) with Qazi
Courts. In Arabia particulalry Saudi Arabia where I worked in a responsible
position as Adm. Officer in a project part alloted to Pakistan (King Khalid
Military City, Hafar al Batin ), I came across various incidents in which our
workers were caught and punished. One Senior Engineer when he landed his visa
had expired by few hours only. But he was sent back. One driver had given a ride
to Saudi Family to Dharan in our bus. He was a police officer (SHO) going back
after leave. The next day this driver was caught at the intersection of a road
when he could not stop his bus before red signal. He was locked up by the Shurta
in the same police station where the concerned SHO was posted. But he expressed
his inabilty to help him. The driver was finally fined which was paid by the SHO
as a gesture.
In Pakistan we need Shurta Police and Qazi or Summary Court system with a new,
short, non exploitable, to the point and hard Penal Code instead of the existing
bogus and failed Anglo Saxon system of Police and Judiciary along with PPC and
other laws depending on lot of paper work, exploitation and litigation. The big
Corrupt leaders and Criminals will never be punished as they engage Big and
costly advocates who are experts in falsehood, manipulation of cases, altering
proofs and evidences, bribing the officials, purchasing the witnesses, obtaining
endless adjournments, obtaining bogus leave on medical grounds to big criminals,
bails, stay orders, needless arguments and counter arguments, delaying tactics,
etc. etc. Mr. Zardari's case continued for 8 years and the judge failed to give
a judgement and ultimately Pervez Musharaff fed up with the 'litigation'
judicial system let him off. The big Advocates are billionaires as their sole
aim is to protect BIG CRIMINALS from punishment through hook or crook. They are
the enemies of the law and the country as they don't want law to prevail. It is
anti islamic that a big and costly advocate can get you a favourable judgment as
against an average advocate. Hence the duties of advocates should be to assist
and help their clients on uniform fixed fee basis. Moreover in our Islamic State
no one takes a Oath on Holy Quran in the courts to create Allah's fear. Hence
falsehood prevails. But in the West if the advocate indulge in lying, his
license is cancelled and is punished under Perjury Law. Not so in our beloved
and corrupt country. That is why the corrupt say openly Pakistan is a good
country where big criminals are not punished. Hence our corrupt leaders
supported by corrupt advocates will never ever change this exploited systems.
Only the honest citizens, patriots, intellgentsia, honest media, honest leaders
can carry a long struggle to change the entire the police and judicial
systems.
As far as the exploitation of Islam is concerned resulting in extremism,
Mullahism, sectarianism, terrorism, suicide bombings, killings of opponents,
Maslak and Fiqah differences, blowing up of girls schools, video shops, even
barber shops in tribal areas of the North, the only solution is to nationalise
all Masajid and Madresahs and ban relgious parties, groups, Tehriks as they
instead of projecting Islam and creating unity in our country, have actually
divided our people into various sects, Maslak, Fiqah, personal cults, parties,
groups, Pirs, Aalims, Faqirs, Aamils, Mazar worship etc. Pakistan is an Islamic
State with Islam as a state religion and as such all religious matters, Masajid,
Madressahs, religious literature should be the duty of the state not individual
and parties as in Arab Countries.
