The echoes of my heart have never been louder before. And never before have I wished so fiercely that these echoes would be heard by the All-Beneficent Allah, and would be transmitted into the minds, the hearts and the consciences of the five robed men of wisdom sitting in judgment to decide the future of Pakistan.
In the air are questions floating from Khyber to Karachi, that need to be answered, not by the law books written by fallible mortals but by the Supreme Ethos that triggered the Pakistan Movement and changed the map of this part of the world.
Question Number one: Will this country forever be ruled by the gods of greed whose belief it is that plunder is acceptable if it is practiced in such a discreet manner that no evidence is left on the surface? Question No two: Has time come at last to tighten the noose of accountability around the necks of those who want to hide behind the defective procedures of the Anglo Saxon laws and justice, and who should be made to divulge the gory truth beneath their respectable veneer?
The answers that the judgment of our High Judiciary will arrive at, and will be made part of our future history, will determine whether this nation can get justice through the country’s institutional framework or will have to come out into the open, look up in the direction of Heavens and raise the one and the only cry that separates it from the rest of mankind: “Oh Allah the Greatest, give us strength to march on the citadels of greed, and evil, and bring down their seemingly invincible walls. We are disciples of the Man whom you sent to mankind, to fight evil and injustice and restore your Rule on the Earth.”
