Our Beloved Soldiers

Many of our beloved soldiers are dying in this so called war of terrorism. Even though this is not our war;this is a planned plot of America against our country`s atomic resources. But our Army is still doing its job, in a commendable manner, acting on instructions received from government. 

Even though this is not in its interests, still it is following the direction of our political leaders. With each passing day many of our soldiers embracing shahadat, fighting militants equipped with latest these fearless men sacrifice their own lives for the sake of defending our homeland. Today while going through the poetry of our legendary Urdu writers, these verses caught my attention. They really seem to have been written for these brave men. I like to pay tribute to these lion-hearted soldiers of Pakistan Army….Our protectors, our defenders and our pride!!

We criticize them. We say that they are paid with our taxes. They enjoy privileges. They seek leisure. They are dictators. We cold hearted people, sit home finding faults in our own army.

But, We forget that while we enjoy snacks in front of our fire places, its them, sitting at blood freezing posts of Siachen fighting for our survival.

No one consoles the weeping mothers of those Shaheeds, whose boxed dead bodies pierced with bullet return from tribal areas.

No one appreciates them when they walk in spray of bullets chanting Takbeer without bothering of being hit, only to ensure our security and safety.

THE ARMY IS TRYING ITS LEVEL BEST. ITS NOT THE ONE WHO`S CORRUPT, NOT THE ONE SELLING OFF OUR HOMELAND. NOT THE LOOSING WARS IN AFGHANISTAN (WE WERE SUCCESSFUL IN OUR OPERATION IN SWAT ). 

Stop criticizing our protectors…..look into yourself….Change yourself and TRY to bring a change too.

PAKISTAN ZINDABAD.
