“What can be said about the nation which remains unable to delay their cricket match for a couple of days, even on the face of a massacre and a blood-bath situation like the recent Peshawar tragedy!!!” Despite all the figurative sorrow, the symbolic unity, the rhetorical accord displayed and certain other positivism presented thereupon, the combined communal body-language of ‘All Parties Conference’ has gravely failed to maintain even the occurrence-compliant modesty of decorum.
The recent massacre blood-bath and genocidal butchery set in Peshawar, by the ruthless terrorists has presaged and portended the whole mourning world. The moment has trembled the minds and shaken the hearts of communities across continents and over the oceans. And the Pakistani nation, of course, is passing through a state that has never been witnessed by the past precedence of its entire 68 years’ course of existence.
Nevertheless, at a gaze, things seem like holding noble-worthiness and high regards on moral accounts, but are these moralities actually as they appear…? Are these expressions the true manifestations…? Are these mournings actually meant for some deeds, or are they just mere signs for show-casing…? Should these acts be named ‘gazing’ or ‘guising’…? These are some of the thorny questions posed over – for the minds and hearts, that hold some sense of righteousness. These are morality-probes, impersonated from the crying-screams of an upright research-analyst, who is no stranger to the states of affairs, when they come to humane or moral convictions. The questions are serious enough in their nature and henceforth, are to be dealt with great trepidations.
Fabled multidisciplinary methodological arch-researcher, Professor Aurangzeb Al Hafi has unwaveringly denounced the collective attitude of Pakistani leadership, during the immediate aftermath of the worst case scenario amidst the Pakistan’s topical history archives – the recent Peshawar’s school tragedy.
“Despite all the figurative sorrow, the symbolic unity, the rhetorical accord displayed and certain other positivism presented thereupon, the combined communal body-language of ‘All Parties Conference’, has gravely failed to maintain even the occurrence-compliant modesty of decorum, leaving aside the meant resoluteness thereupon…,” deprecates the arch-researcher.
“The cosmetic tear-shedding became completely exposed, when the government as well as the opposition leadership were cherishing each others, just hours after occurrence of the heinous attack tragedy. The sweet-spoken political taunting coupled with their gestural frowns, along with the unhide-able facial smiles that appeared to become set-forth by the moments, when the pouring blood and the pigments had not even completed their clotting process…! One’s body-language must comply with what one is going to address, discourse or deal with,” criticizingly points out and censures Prof. Al Hafi.
Indiscriminately criticizing the collective frame of national leadership, who was present at the APC meeting, Prof. Hafi commented, “the repetitive use of traditional narrations like… ‘we strongly condemn this and that…‘ don’t make sense any more, in worst case-scenarios like the present one.”
“Moreover, treasuring and apprizing the cricket matches on the very next day, appears nothing else to the observing eyes but compartmentalized senselessness and isolationistic ridiculousness at its best,” he maintained further.
In the circumstantiality of such an inconsolable grief-stricken massacre event, to continue playing matches by wearing black ribbons is nothing but awkward, disgraceful and shameful modality of ridiculous manifestations of a miserably deflated society having no integration of perspectives.
He said that it is sad, as well as strange to see that the PCB didn’t bother to postpone their cricket match on the face of the grief-stricken situation. “What can be said about the nation which is unable to delay their cricket match for even a couple of days, on the face of the massacre blood-bath situation!!!”
Commenting on the role of the media in this scenario, he said that, “One half of the TV screens are displaying the sorrowful cries of the parents, and the other half is portraying the cherishing claps on the sixes played and the wickets won by the Pakistani team. On one hand, half of the TV screen is counting the number of children murdered and injured, whilst on the other half of screen, the runs required to win the cricket match are being simultaneously displayed at the same time on the same screen.”
The mere figurative and rhetorical mourning has been termed as the ‘cosmetic tear-shedding’ by Professor Al Hafi. Except the grieving-desolateness of the parents or the immediate relations, as well as those others from nearest locales, he named the rest as “cosmetic tear-shedding.”
“Nonetheless, a three-days’ nationwide mourning was announced, but which of the institutions observed that? The government? The opposition? The media? Or the cricket board?” Who bothered for the national tragedy’s mourning observance?
“This responsive attitude is a strong, vibrant and lucidly clear reflection, as well as a direct measure of our moral decline behind all this, as a nation. Our institutions have lost their moral authority and institutional integrity as the institutions, on face of the grief-stricken massacre situation. All this is nothing but the stark indexing of a complete moral decline,” he concluded.
On account of the collective attitude manifested thereupon, the Pakistani leadership has sadly and dismally lost their moral authority and ethical integrity as institutions.
They have even completely failed to maintain the grief moments’ sedateness and demureness. The national leadership and the nation itself have proved the manifestation of their moral decline in the best way that could ever be demonstrated thereupon…!
I, as a Pakistani, feel graceless and guilt-ridden enough to say that no one from our government’s side, no one from the opposition fronts, or from the adjacent media has dared to point out these shameful and appalling events.
The brutality and ruthlessness demonstrated by the terrorists needs no description, and remains condemnable as an obvious denunciation, but the kind of national trait – the outlook manifested on the face of this massacre and genocidal blood-bath event, would never become pardonable, neither on national, nor on humanitarian accounts!!!
