Whatever the incident, there are many motivations behind it. Stupidity in some places, blind trust in some places, and carelessness in some places. While reading about the tragedy of the motorway, I am repeatedly reminded of such a true incident of the recent past, which I could not forget from my mind even if I want to and I am forced to write this thing. Although this event in itself has been a source of mistakes, in the context of this, what people want to say is probably only one or two percent of people out of a hundred will be able to understand. This incident happened to a friend of mine a few days ago and when she narrated this incident to me, it made me cry as well as its serious consequences. It happened that a friend called me saying that I have a problem and need your advice. I said, of course, if I come to work, I will be happy. Then she said that she went out to hang out with a friend in different parks to a location where there was a river bank and a quiet environment, but they had barely been there for ten minutes before the police arrived, officials arrived and while asking them various questions, they disturbed them a lot.
Both of them suffered from mental torture due to the investigation by the police officials. These people tried to give all kinds of assurance, but those police officials were determined to prove both of them guilty. Along with registering complete details, complete addresses and phone numbers were also taken. The friend asked him to let me do one thing, but that too was not allowed. She wanted to call someone she knew and inform them about the situation, who was at a good post. After taking her name, the attitude of the policemen changed somewhat. To get rid of their life completely, money was also offered. The Bawardi policeman showed some gentleness and allowed them to go, but as he was leaving, he said to the other you should see now. It was too late for her to leave when the other official pressured the girl and said, “Give me your number.” When this girl tried not to share her number, he said to her in a threatening manner that she should think. Although she didn’t want to give them her number but under pressure, she shared it and saved her three lives according to her but that was her delusion. Even before reaching home, the official calls started coming along with the messages that we have taken your video and pictures, so there is no need to do dramas. She felt like her upper breath remained above because she knew that if all this was exposed, her life could be destroyed. I consoled her and told her to be patient and consider the future strategy. The details of this number were tried and the person was traced. Long story short, this incident was dismissed. But what I find most painful about it is that the crime for which the police take action and harass people, they do not hesitate to commit the same crime themselves. Maybe because of the reference, nothing was said to this girl. If it was not for that reference, it might have been impossible for her to escape from there. When only the enforcers of the law consider everything as legitimate for themselves, then to whom should a person go for justice?
The Women’s Rights Bill has been passed in Pakistan, but neither the government followed the implementation of this bill, nor did the women themselves know about its provisions. I would not say that it is permissible to break the limits established by Islam, but it is a duty to take care of human rights in the institutions and the officials appointed in them and they would get the same salary. It is a matter of regret that in Pakistan it is considered obligatory to adopt every wrong approach which would have been banned. We are a rebellious and disobedient nation and the main reason for our deterioration is this disobedience and rebellion which has shamed us in front of the whole world. Due to our dual existence, the dual society is highlighted in front of the world. Contradiction in words and deeds, going against the limits established by Allah, happily propagating self-disobedience, self-righteousness, lying, cheating, bribery, eating haram, and considering the usurious system as legitimate. Violating the sanctity of relationships, all these factors have been embedded in our society like poison. Now we people have reached the brink of destruction. Like everything that happened in the era of Jahiliyyah, it is now happening openly in our society. Every human being considers himself to be innocent and has started to think it is his duty to point fingers at others, then how come such incidents will not happen? May Allah grant us all the grace and grace to follow the straight path and make us learn from our mistakes so that we can correct ourselves before the door of repentance closes. Because the punishment of hell is very painful.
