Letter to the Chief Justice of Pakistan and other SC judges

To Hon’ble The Chief Justice of Pakistan Umar Ata Bandial and his Companion Judges of the Supreme Court of Pakistan
Islamabad
Dear Brothers/Sister,
I am writing this letter to you as a brother Judge of India with great grief and anguish in my heart.
As you know, the Islamabad High Court has today suspended the sentence on former Prime Minister Imran Khan in the toshakhana case and ordered hs release on bail. However, he has been rearrested by the FIA in connection with the cypher case against him.

About 150 criminal cases have been filed against Imran Khan ever since he was ousted from power.
https://www.livemint.com/news/world/whole-charade-is-to-imprison-me-imran-khan-on-150-criminal-cases-filed-against-him-11685866726910.html
If he is rearrested after getting bail in each of these cases it will mean he will have to spend his whole remaining life in jail, even if all these cases are ultimately found to be false and frivolous. Is this justice ?
Apart from that, a fascist reign of terror has been unleashed in Pakistan after the incident of 9th May, with thousands of persons arrested and imprisoned, often after the security aqencies broke into their houses and vandalised them, many tortured, beaten and ‘disappeared’, while you have turned a Nelson’s eye on these horrors and atrocities.
You, Brothers/Sister took a solemn oath to uphold the Constitution and protect the fundamental rights of life and liberty of the people, but it seems to me you care only for your salaries, perks and pensions, and have forgotten your duties.

After the shameful Munich Pact of 1938, Winston Churchill, who later became Prime Minister of England, accused the then Government of Neville Chamberlain quoting from the Bible ” Thou art weighed in the balance, and found wanting ” ( Daniel 5.27 ).

The same can be said about you.
Now if there is still some sense of honour and dignity left in you, please use your suo motu powers and immediately issue these orders ( after giving a few days time and a very short hearing to the government counsel ) :
(1) Imran Khan is released on bail in all the cases against him and will not be rearrested, on condition of his giving an undertaking not to leave Pakistan without permission of the Court
(2) All cases against him are clubbed and put up before a single court
(3) All persons arrested in connection with the incident of 9th May are released on bail forthwith, and adequate compensation is granted to them.
(4) All PTI leaders and workers are released on bail forthwith, and will not be rearrested.
(5) Officials responsible for the atrocities on the people ( and for filing false cases against Imran Khan and others ) are forthwith suspended and chargesheeted ( modalities can be worked out after consulting prominent lawyers known to be upright ).
(6) A firm date not later than 15th of November is fixed for holding national parliamentary elections, and sufficient funds will be released for this purpose by the State Bank of Pakistan, and all security provided to ensure free and fair polls. All those disobeying this order will be sent to jail forthwith for contempt of court.

Raksha Bandhan 2023: Determining the Date for the Celebrated Rakhi Festival

Raksha Bandhan, perhaps of India’s most appreciated celebration representing the connection among family, is not far off. Notwithstanding, this year has achieved some disarray in regards to the date of its festival, with Wednesday and Thursday both being considered as possible choices.

The variety in the lunar schedule and local varieties across India frequently lead to different dates being recommended for the festival of Rakhi. This disparity in dates emerges because of contrasts in working out the Purnima, which shifts marginally relying upon geographic area and adherence to various lunar schedules.

This error brings about fluctuating dates for Raksha Bandhan.”
Dr. Sharma further expounded, “In North India, the Purnima tithi is viewed as on August 30, while in a few southern and western locales, it very well might be seen on August 31. Be that as it may, the quintessence of Raksha Bandhan continues as before – the power of profound devotion and security between kin.”
Raksha Bandhan normally includes sisters tying a consecrated string, known as ‘Rakhi,’ around their siblings’ wrists as an image of affection and insurance. Consequently, siblings vow to defend their sisters and proposition them gifts.
The uncertainty encompassing the date of Raksha Bandhan frequently prompts families praising the celebration on the two days to guarantee they honor the custom accurately.
It is quite important that, eventually, the decision of date for Raksha Bandhan generally relies upon local traditions and individual convictions. The celebration’s importance, be that as it may, stays predictable the country over as a festival of the persevering through connection between kin.

Whether celebrated on Wednesday, August 30, or Thursday, August 31, Raksha Bandhan 2023 will without a doubt unite families to share love, friendship, and the esteemed practices that characterize this inspiring celebration.

The way out for Pakistanis

Pakistan is in a terrible situation. The government is bankrupt and the economy is in shambles. Massive protests are being held everywhere against exorbitant electricity bills, and rise in prices of oil, gas and food.

The political situation is dismal, and a reign of terror has been imposed by the army and police, thousands thrown in jail, often after being dragged out of their homes, and many beaten, tortured, killed, or ‘disappeared‘. The judiciary, whose duty was to uphold people’s rights under the Constitution, is lying impotent. Minorities, like Shias, Ahmadis, Christians, Hindus, and Sikhs, live in fear.
Pakistan has become a paagal khaana
Justice Katju’s letter to Pakistani Judges
What should Pakistanis do ?
No doubt by their massive ongoing demonstrations they have proved that they are not a bunch of cowards, as was earlier supposed, and will not take things lying low. But that is not enough. Clarity of ideas is now needed, otherwise they will be like blind men or men groping in the dark, and going from the frying pan into the fire.
Since the time of Partition in 1947, and even from before, false ideas were drilled into the heads of Pakistanis e.g. Partition of India and the creation of Pakistan as an Islamic State was correct and justified, since Hindus and Muslims are two separate nations ( the 2 nation theory ), who cannot live together, and Jinnah, the main creator of Pakistan was a great man ( Baba-e-Quom or Father of the Nation ),
Changing the mindsets of people, removing false ideas, and replacing them with truthful ones, is an extremely difficult and long drawn process. It is very painful to the majority who have held such false ideas for long, and would be very reluctant to discard them. And it requires tremendous patience and forbearance in the enlightened minority seeking to educate the majority and persuade them to give up their false ideas. They will have to endure abuses, vilification, and often even physical attacks by the majority.
Historical experience shows that the majority give up false ideas only when there is an economic crisis or war, for then people’s lives are so terribly and adversely affected that they find it impossible to continue living and thinking in the old way.
For instance, the French Revolution of 1789 was caused by the bankruptcy of the government of King Louis 16 and the huge rise in the price of bread.
The Russian Revolution of 1917 was caused by the First World War, and the huge rise in prices of bread in Russia.

The Chinese revolution which culminated in 1949 was caused by the Japanese invasion of China, and rural bankruptcy in China.

Pakistan is currently going through a severe economic crisis, and to survive Pakistanis will now have to rethink over what was dished out to them for over three quarter of a century, and which they had faithfully lapped up.
This will be very painful for most Pakistanis, for they will be questioning what was regarded as gospel truth for long. It will be like Copernicus’ heliocentric theory questioning the Biblical ( and the Greek astronomer Ptolemy’s ) assertion that the sun goes around the earth ( the geocentric theory ), which was believed as the final truth all over Europe for 2000 years.
Moreover, it will also be dangerous because questioning them will not only invite the wrath of the mullahs and religious extremist organisations like the Tehreek-e-Labaik, it is also a crime since section 123A Pakistan Penal Code makes speaking against Partition an offence carrying a sentence of upto 10 years imprisonment.
However, the truth cannot be suppressed forever, even by laws. Supporting Copernicus’ theory was also at one time dangerous as it went against the Bible, and one could be burnt at the stake for that ( Galileo survived by recanting). Yet it spread, and is believed by everyone today.
Since long I have been saying :
(1) Partition was a British swindle, to keep Hindus and Muslims fighting each other, and thus to prevent united india from emerging as a modern industrial giant ( as China is today ) and become a big rival to Western industry.with our cheap labour.

https://indicanews.com/2023/01/24/indo-pak-reunification/
(2) Gandhi and Jinnah were the main agents of the British in this wicked design, which caused untold horrors and sufferings to millions.
A Tale of Two Rascals
https://www.hastakshepnews.com/moeed-pirzadas-inanity-and-mendacity/
(3) Pakistan is a fake, artificial country. It is part of India, and will one day inevitably reunite with India ( along with Bangladesh ) under secular, modern minded, patriotic leaders determined to rapidly industrialise and modernise the country, and give our people a high standard of living and decent lives

https://indicanews.com/2023/03/09/justice-markandey-katju-indian-reunification-is-an-idea-whose-time-has-come/
https://indicanews.com/2023/05/14/justice-markandey-katju-a-response-to-dr-akbar-ahmed/
(4) The leaders of both India and Pakistan are puppets of Western countries, and will obey their orders. So the way out for the people of both India and Pakistan is to launch a mighty united people’s struggle led by secular, modern minded, patriotic leaders to overthrow the present political systems and create a new one under which united India rapidly industrialises and modernises, and the people get decent lives..

https://www.theweek.in/news/india/2019/10/04/opinion-india-needs-modern-minded-revolution-to-become-a-first-world-nation.html
https://www.firstpost.com/india/indias-moment-of-turbulent-revolution-has-arrived-and-it-is-going-to-be-a-long-and-bloody-one-writes-justice-markandey-katju-7891541.html
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/satyam-bruyat/a-french-revolution-is-approaching/
As to when this historical struggle will begin, how much time will it take to attain success, how will it be conducted, who will be its leaders, etc it is impossible to predict, since one cannot be rigid about historical forms. The people will have to use their own creativity to figure all this out

Why do Pakistanis need electricity, gas, and oil ?

I can’t understand why Pakistanis are protesting against exorbitant electricity bills and rise in gas and oil charges ?

After all, Pakistan is an Islamic State, and people living in Madina ki Riyaasat lived without electricity. I cannot imagine the Prophet leading a demonstration of people demanding electricity. So why cannot Pakistanis live using oil lamps in the night, as Arabs did at the time of the Prophet.?
As for rise in gas prices, again I cannot understand what Pakistanis have to complain about.? Were there cooking cylinders at the time of the Prophet, or did people cook food using wood ( or maybe camel dung ) ? Why can’t Pakistanis do the same ( except that instead of camel dung they can use donkey dung, as it is reported that the donkey population has increased exponentially in Pakistan ).
https://www.geo.tv/latest/491950-donkey-population-on-the-rise-in-pakistan
Why should Pakistanis use cars,trucks and buses, which require petrol or diesel, for transportation ? Why do they need diesel or electric trains ? They should use camels, as people used at the time of the Prophet.
The camels will also supply milk for drinking,and this should replace cow milk ( as cow is a Hindu animal, and therefore cow milk is haraam, and is only meant for kaafirs ).
Camel dung can be used for cooking, and camel urine can be used as a medicine, as was done for centuries.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camel_urine#:~:text=Urine%20from%20camels%20has%20been,traditional%20medicine%20lacks%20scientific%20evidence.

And following the example of their great Qaid-e-Azam, Pakistanis should start eating pork, drinking wine ( or was it Scotch whiskey which he partook before dinner ? ), and stop saying namaaz ( which Jinnah never did all his life )
