Letter in Dawn, Sep 23
WE all knew that the powerful can have their way in Pakistan, but
today I really felt as if my country had let me down. I was driving on
26th Street in the DHA, Karachi, when a tinted black civic came racing
out of one of the lanes onto the main road, almost hitting myself and
the cars behind me.
When I stopped the car to yell at the guy driving, an armed guard with
a police cap stepped out and walked up to me to tell me to sit in my
car and go away. When I looked at this civil servant threatening me in
this way, I decided I would have none of it and yelled at him to
remember that he is a policeman and should remember his manners.
He then swung his semi-automatic rifle in my face to hit me with its
butt when I stepped back and avoided his attempted assault. I could
not believe what had just transpired and decided that I was going to
take this guard to his master and give his master a piece of my mind.
I told the officials in the car I wanted to meet their boss to tell
them what our civil servants are doing in the streets to the citizens
when they said: "Yeah follow us and we will really show you this
time".
Not to be intimidated I did follow them to 59/1, 29th Street, DHA
Phase V, where I noticed what looked like a large official Pakistani
flag with a guard outpost filled with police guards. The civic came to
a stop and four men got out and rushed to my car and started to push
me around the moment I got out. I pushed back and told them that they
were driving like . . . . . and that I wanted to see their boss.
They refused to allow me to ring the bell or even approach the house
while more and more of them started gathering around me. The first one
who swung his rifle at me then came back at me to swing another time
and this time hit me across the palm of my hands, tearing the skin
off.
Make no mistake, I was now under assault by at least 12 armed police
guards who repeatedly beat me while I staggered up and down the street
trying to regain my stance and control of the situation. I fought back
using whatever little martial arts I knew and struck back fiercely at
a few of them putting some fear back in their hearts.
They did back off now that they realised that this citizen was not
going to take it lying down and although I was bleeding profusely and
the entire neighbourhood was watching, I continued to demand to see
their boss to confront him on this issue and they continued to refuse
to allow me.
Then when they realised I would not budge and the situation could get
very ugly, they finally made some calls and the PS to the minister
came to the scene. They kept me waiting outside for 20 minutes while
the minister received news from his men. They told me to sit in the
chowkidar's tent while the minister called me in, a request that I
repeatedly refused and they started pushing and pulling me to get me
to comply. I stood my ground in front of the minister's main gate and
refused their demand that I sit in the tent.
A few minutes later came some of the men from inside and they called
me in. Two men, one of which I assumed was the minister, came and
apologised to me. I told them that 10 of their men beat me outside his
home and one of them used his rifle to beat me with the butt. I
demanded that the key culprit be arrested and jailed, a demand the
minister refused.
He called the culprit inside the room and told him to apologise, which
he did. I was then told to leave. I want everyone to know what
happened to me because this gross injustice cannot stand.

If this story is indeed true, this man's courage shows that people in
Pakistan are not afraid to take on a larger force to get justice. In India
this man would have been "suicided" to Agni via a fire in is house or made
to march naked in the streets. Justice hindu style.

Its nice to hear that Pakistan has a police system. I always thought
that they only had the army.
So then it would seem that Pakistan has India at a disadvantage ;-)
yeah and you are a clone baby of general a.k.k niazi.....one of
fiercest warrior, which pakistani army has ever produced,as P.O.W in
delhis thiar jail,there are sardarji inmates who fell in love with
him....they loved his buns so much,he would let them have it for
breakfast,brunch,lunch and dinner....besides him,there was another
99000 romeo cum juliets from pakistan punjab regiment, who filled up
the indian jails,and did yeomen service for hardcore prison inamates
of the indian jails.

There is a fine line between bravery and stupidity. I
would not fight a person wielding a gun - unless I deemed the matter
to be important enough. Cutting me off in traffic is not reason
enough to follow armed goondas to an unknown destination.
Lack of democracy in pakistan where one chief goonda (Musharaff) at
the top is holding onto his seat through fraudulent means is what
results in these situations. Even if he made a police report, nothing
would happen to that politician. Even if he got shot dead, they would
just bury him and no police action would ever be taken.
You must be a hijda for such a thought process.
After the grand ghand marai,you got from India,you ended up,with
nothing to process your thoughts,but you got one big multipurpose bung
hole in the end,which you use for pretty much for every thing in your
life,from eating,talking thinking etc.
