Daily Diary (DD) - Day 323 of 2019

1932hrs:

A very eventful past 24 hours but aren't most? The intellect says time is what requires most attention, followed by finance..........

I was supposed to be in Tangigaala yesterday and in Trarkhel today but it doesn't seem likely, as the vehicle's engine is still miles away from being assembled. Not likely by this evening either.

While I'm waiting for my mother to send me some money to pay the balance of whatever it costs to get the vehicle on the road, I meet a relative of mine who has many questions on the past, present and future of J & K. Most reservations at this stage revolve around how we will govern our country, how do we securitise our territory and whether we have enough economic resources to succeed.

I explained that despite living in an autocracy pre 1947, compared to most other countries of the world at the time; our standard was more evolved and arguably even more evolved than what India and Pakistan have achieved to date. 

Our guarantee of security has 2 aspects: 
1) That we remain strictly neutral in a geo-political sense a la Switzerland and not side with any country, ideology or religion in matters of the State.
2) That we become the most efficient managers of water in the world and ensure that water travels down to India and Pakistan in a far more efficient manner than what both countries have managed since 1947.

Of course, we have more than enough economic resources to succeed. Otherwise, why would we be the most fiercely contested and heavily militarised zone in the world?

These are just some short answers to a very lengthy subject. When explaining to our public one has to resort to metaphors or local vernacular to illustrate what has taken years of independent research to understand. 

....

Talking of finance, it seems that genuinely working in public interest invites much celebration and praise from the public but very little practical support, on both sides of the LOC.


Take the case of Waqar Bhatti of Rajouri as an example:

The following is an appeal by Waqar's friend for financial assistance in his legal fight:

This is very saddened to share that nobody is supporting us for waqar h bhatti except two people who have contributed their share for his bail case. I don't know what will happen next since we do not have money to pay legal expanses. Sharing here with you the pdf of disctrict court orders who dismissed our bail petition because we could not provide them bribe on time. Now the case is in high court under a supreme court lawyer, we need your support. Please contribute else if we loose this time we won't be able to file in supreme court being exhausted financially and waqar could be sentenced jail for 3 years. Please whatsapp me on +917248488057 to contribute.



یہ جان کر انتہائی افسوس کی بات ہے کہ وقار بھٹی کے لئے کوئی بھی ہمارا ساتھ نہیں دے رہا ہے سوائے دو افراد کے جنہوں نے ان کے ضمانت کیس میں اپنا حصہ ڈالا ہے۔  مجھے نہیں معلوم کہ آگے کیا ہوگا جب ہمارے پاس قانونی اخراجات ادا کرنے کے لئے رقم نہیں ہے۔  یہاں آپ کے ساتھ متعدد عدالت کے احکامات کی pdf دستیاب ہے جس نے ہماری ضمانت کی درخواست خارج کردی کیونکہ ہم انہیں وقت پر رشوت مہیا نہیں کرسکتے تھے۔  اب یہ مقدمہ ایک اعلی عدالت کے وکیل کے تحت ہائی کورٹ میں ہے ، ہمیں آپ کے تعاون کی ضرورت ہے۔  براہ کرم شراکت کریں اگر ہم اس بار دستبردار ہوجائیں تو ہم مالی طور پر تھک جانے کی وجہ سے سپریم کورٹ میں دائر نہیں ہوسکیں گے اور وقار کو 3 سال قید کی سزا ہوسکتی ہے۔  براہ کرم مجھے شراکت کے لئے +917248488057 پر واٹس ایپ کریں۔
