RANA HAIDER
Due to careless attitude of the Punjab Police Department, the thieves, robbers, thugs and killers targeted the civilians in 2016. Only in Lahore, over 73,300 cases have been reported to around 86 police stations which include murders, kidnappings, thefts and house robberies. However, the police failed miserably in catching these thugs and murderers. The civilians lost their lives, cash and other valuables such as cars and bikes worth million of rupees.
Unfortunately, newly-established police forces also failed to protect the civilians. The Punjab government did heavy funding to stop the street crimes and created different forces like Dolphin Force, Punjab Police Constable Recruitment Force (PRU), Elite Force etc but all these forces could do nothing to make the street crime ratio fall. These forces’ personnel only pay attention on sending good reports to their high-ups rather than taking any action against the criminals.
On the first day of Data Ali Hajvery Urs, there was high security alert in the city. It seems that all the forces were put on duty around Data Darbar and rest of the city was left at God’s will. With such high security, a robbery incident took place at Millat Park in which 4 people were killed including a father and a son and 6 others were critically injured. This is the biggest police failure. With the increasing street crime and police’s non-professional attitude, the people now prefer having personal weapons. This practice also resulted in another bloody event at the Lower Mall where two thieves were shot by a shopkeeper. The rate of street crimes is not decreasing and the watchdog (police) is barking instead of biting.
According to a source, senior police officers are restricting all the divisional SPs to report and launch FIRs less against street crime. Police officers do their best to delay further reports and if anyone puts pressure then they launch the FIR especially in robbery incidents. For example, Babar, a resident of Millat Park, lost his money Rs 375,000 on October 18, 2016 in a theft incident. On the same day, he went to the concerned police station to report the theft but the cops entangled him in other things instead of registering a case even after a month. Finally, Babar approached a DIG and managed to get his case registered with the police.
Every government has been creating different police forces with heavy funding to control the crimes. These forces’ personnel are ordered to roam on the city roads to keep an eye on criminal activities but this is people’s bad luck that these personnel are put on protocol duty and the people are left with the bandits.
The latest example is the creation of Dolphin and PRU forces but the result was the same and these efforts proved futile. Some of the police officers of these forces were caught taking bribe from the people. Now they block roads and tease people whether it is in their jurisdiction or not. The onlu difference between the old police personnel and these forces is that new cops have new uniforms and better equipments and gadgets.
dear writer ,
i am muslim and a pakistani, living here , educated in lahore. i some times think that we are very strange nation and very emotional muslims.we do many things without considering the ifs and buts and the reasons for its justification.we ignore even the basic education of quran and rasool(saw).we simply rather blindly go on doing something without understanding any logic or reason or social need.we are very unique type of nation. we will offer flowers and spread bed sheets on buried person grave for which he has totally no need,but we will not spend 10 rs on medicine of any poor alive and deserving fellow muslim.does data sahib know that we are badly suffering on power shortage?does he know that what level of unemployment we are facing in our country?does he know that our rulers are looting, ridiculing and exploiting our money for their personal dreams.does data sahib know that our hospitals , schools,offices are without light ?
does this great man know that we are short of water,basic hygiene needs,cleaning in our cities.we are about to collapse financially and
industrially we are behing than our enemies.does data sahib know that we have adopted our own designed system of education other than quran and islam.does he know that our courts are selling the justice on name of islam and quran.
still i have to write please…..
does he know that our markets, our business is not as per islamic laid down rules.does he know that flowers and golden bed sheets which are laid on his grave are from the pocket of poor ,needy and under nutrition ed ,poorest persons of nation.does he know that we need roads,infrastructure,water, sanitary improvement,jobs for jobless youngsters,hospitals for dying and bombed and wounded muslims.does he know that now we have started killing our own brothers in mosques,in shrines , in churches, in offices, in factories,in schools,even in baitullah shareef.i am sure if he knew any thing of above he would not accept any flower and any bed sheet any more.i wish i could convey my feelings to data sahib and tell him that your book does not say any thing about dancing of woman on your grave but we are dancing openly.
i apologize from my muslim brothers for any hard word.but let me ask and jolt the educated lot , the doctors, engineers,professors,teachers,
bureaucrates,college students,writers,poets and all educated lobby.what we are searching in graves?islam has not asked us to put our energies and time on gathering on graves and begging from dead and singing on tombs and dancing in shrines and then expecting a big change , solution of social problems,fulfillment of needs of life from allah?if graves could have resolved the problems and graves were to solve any querry and help the living peoples then world so far must be converted to jennah( paradise).
quran has given us a clear ,vivid, elaborated concept of dynamic life and its challenges.quran has not asked us to decorate the graves and beg from the burried persons.quran has not advised us to beg sons and daughters from graves.to submit our daily needs to graves
and weight for its approval.the qibla of muslims is not graves but only allah.qibla is not for prayers only rather it is qibla for all our problems and issues.
we are educated that we must respect our religious elders , scholars,islamic lawmakers like abu haneefa, malik and shafi.we are supposed to consult our esteemed scholars in our all matters but no where we are advised to go to any grave and ask the one who can not listen can not speak and can not come back in this life ever.
we are living in age of moon and mobilefone,we must analyse direction, cause and reason of our actions.please excuse me if any body is heart by my words,i apologize again ,as my aim is to convey the message which i consider is true and workable.allaha hafiz.
i apologize from my muslim brothers for any hard word.but let me ask and jolt the educated lot , the doctors, engineers,professors,teachers,
