অকার্যকর সান্ধ্য আইন

বেগম জিয়া ঐক্যবদ্ধ আন্দোলনের তাগাদা অনুভব করলেন। কিন্তু এও বুঝলেন শক্তির ভারসাম্যে একক ভাবে দাঁড়ানো আপাতত অসম্ভব। সামনে দুটি বিকল্প তখন।

১) ১৫ দলীয় জোটে যুক্তি।

২) নিজেই বিকল্প শক্তি কেন্দ্র হওয়া।

১৫ দলের ১১ দফায় ৭২ সংবিধান পুনরুজ্জীবন ছিল। ফলে এই জোটে যাওয়া সম্ভব নয়। নেত্রী বিকল্প পথে হাঁটলেন। ১৫ দলের বাইরের দল নিয়ে সমান্তরাল ৭ দলীয় জোট গঠন করেন। ফলে বিরোধী দল হিসাবে BNP'র আবয়ব মানুষের কাছে স্পষ্টতর হল।

বেগম জিয়া তখন পর্যন্ত রাজনীতিতে কিছুটা পিছিয়েই ছিলেন। কিন্তু ৭ দলীয় জোট গঠন, ৫ দফা প্রণয়ন ও সমঝোতার ভিত্তিতে যুগপৎ আন্দোলন করতে চাওয়ার দূরদর্শী সিদ্ধান্ত নিলেন তিনি। ফলে দৃশ্যতঃ যে সামান্য পিছিয়ে ছিলেন তা প্রবলভাবে পার হলেন নেত্রী।

এই প্রেক্ষিতে এরশাদ সংলাপ প্রস্তাব করেন। কিন্তু বেগম জিয়ার দল সমঝোতা থোড়াই কেয়ার করে সান্ধ্য কালিন বিক্ষোভ কর্মসূচী বৃদ্ধি করেন। ফলে আরেকদফা পরীক্ষায় উত্তীর্ণ হন তিনি।

২৮ নভেম্বর ৮৩ তে বিক্ষোভ রাজনীতি বন্ধে সন্ধ্যা থেকে সান্ধ্য আইন জাড়ি হয়। বেগম জিয়া তখন তাঁর প্রতিরোধ পলিসি পালটে ফেলেন। সান্ধ্য আইন কার্যকর শুরু হওয়া সময়ের আগ পর্যন্ত টানা জনসভা, পথসভা করার মাধ্যমে সান্ধ্য আইনকে স্বৈরাচার এরশাদের হরিষে বিষাদে পরিণত করেন।

এই কৌশলী প্রতিবাদে জিয়ার উত্তরসুরী নেত্রী বেগম জিয়ার কারিশমা দেখে আবার আশাবাদী হয়ে ওঠে দেশের মানুষ। Morning Shows The Day.

The History of Charity Organizations in Pakistan: A Timeline

Charity organizations have been a cornerstone of Pakistan's social welfare system, contributing significantly to the country's development. From the early years post-independence to the modern era, these organizations have addressed critical needs and fostered community growth. This article provides a detailed timeline of the evolution of charity organizations in Pakistan, highlighting their contributions and impact.

1947-1960: The Birth of a Nation and Early Philanthropic Efforts

Post-Independence Relief Efforts

The partition of India in 1947 resulted in mass migrations, violence, and displacement, necessitating immediate relief efforts. In response, several charity organizations were established to provide essential services. The All Pakistan Women's Association (APWA), founded in 1949 by Begum Ra'ana Liaquat Ali Khan, was among the first to focus on women and children's welfare. APWA provided critical healthcare, education, and vocational training to women affected by the partition.

Establishment of the Edhi Foundation

In 1951, Abdul Sattar Edhi founded the Edhi Foundation, starting with a small dispensary. Over time, it grew into Pakistan's largest charity organization, offering a wide range of services, including ambulances, orphanages, and shelters for the homeless. The Edhi Foundation became a symbol of selfless service, setting a standard for future philanthropic endeavors in Pakistan.

1960-1980: Expansion and Institutionalization of Charity Work

Growth of Health and Education Initiatives

The 1960s and 1970s saw significant growth in charity work, with a focus on health and education. The Aga Khan Foundation, established in 1967, played a vital role in improving healthcare and education across Pakistan. The foundation's initiatives in rural development and healthcare set a precedent for structured and institutionalized philanthropy.

The Role of Religious Organizations

During this period, religious organizations like Jamaat-e-Islami and Tableeghi Jamaat expanded their charitable activities, especially in rural areas. These organizations established schools, clinics, and vocational centers, extending the reach of charity work throughout the country.

Launch of the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Trust

In 1985, Imran Khan launched the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Trust in memory of his mother. The trust focused on providing free cancer treatment to the underprivileged, culminating in the establishment of Pakistan's first cancer hospital in Lahore in 1994. This initiative marked a major milestone in healthcare philanthropy in Pakistan.

1980-2000: A Period of Consolidation and Growth

Zakat and the Role of Government

The 1980s brought the Zakat Ordinance, introduced under General Zia-ul-Haq, which mandated Zakat deductions from savings accounts to support the poor and needy. While this system aimed to institutionalize charity, it sparked debates about the efficiency of state-controlled charity versus independent organizations.

Formation of the Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy

In 2001, the Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy (PCP) was established to enhance the effectiveness of philanthropy in the country. The PCP focused on capacity building for non-profit organizations, promoting transparency, and fostering corporate philanthropy as part of corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives.

The Role of International NGOs

During this time, international NGOs such as Save the Children, CARE International, and Oxfam became increasingly active in Pakistan. These organizations worked on disaster relief, education, and women's rights, contributing significantly to the growth of the charity sector in Pakistan.

Present: The Modern Era of Charity and Philanthropy

Shifa Foundation's Contribution to Health and Social Services

Shifa Foundation has been a leading force in Pakistan's humanitarian landscape for over three decades. With a focus on healthcare, environmental initiatives, water and sanitation projects, disaster response, and educational volunteer programs, Shifa Foundation has positively impacted the lives of over 8 million people across Pakistan. Their work in providing essential services has been instrumental in improving the quality of life for countless individuals.

Rise of Technology-Driven Philanthropy

The internet and social media have transformed charity organizations in Pakistan. Platforms like Aurat Foundation, Saylani Welfare International Trust, and Akhuwat use technology to reach broader audiences and raise funds efficiently. Online donations, crowdfunding, and social media campaigns have increased donations and volunteer participation.

Impact of Natural Disasters

Natural disasters such as the 2005 earthquake and the 2010 floods underscored the importance of charity organizations in disaster response and recovery. The Pakistan Red Crescent Society, Al-Khidmat Foundation, and Edhi Foundation played critical roles in providing relief and rehabilitation to affected communities.

Focus on Sustainable Development

In recent years, there has been a growing focus on sustainable development in the charity sector. Organizations like the Citizen's Foundation (TCF), which operates a vast network of schools for underprivileged children, are leading the way in providing long-term solutions to poverty, education, and healthcare.

The Future of Charity Organizations in Pakistan

The future of charity organizations in Pakistan is bright, with increasing emphasis on innovation, transparency, and collaboration. As the sector evolves, partnerships between the government, private sector, and non-profits will be crucial in addressing the country's challenges. The use of technology and a focus on sustainable development will continue to drive the impact of charity organizations.

Paulino Cardoso

Em um país majoritariamente mulçulmano, cerca 85% da população, Banglabandhu tentou construir um governo secular, socialista e próximo da Índia. O resultado foi óbvio, em 1975, um golpe militar assassinou praticamente toda sua família, menos duas filhas.O general Ziaur Rahman, artífice do golpe, tomou o poder, até ele mesmo ser assassinado em 1981.

Dez anos depois, o poder foi devolvido aos civis. A cena política continuou sendo disputada entre a Liga Awami, chefiada Sheikh Hasina, uma das filhas de Banglabandhu, e Begum Khaled Zia, viúva do ex-líder golpista, General Ziaur Rahman, dirigente o Partido Nacionalista de Bangladesh (BNP).

Asma Jahangir

https://www.unadonnalgiorno.it/asma-jahangir/

Asma Jahangir, avvocata e attivista pakistana, ha contribuito a fondare la Commissione per i Diritti Umani del suo paese.

È stata relatrice speciale delle Nazioni Unite sulla libertà di religione e di credo e giocato un ruolo importante nell’International Crisis Group.

Nata a Lahore il 27 gennaio 1952, in una famiglia molto attiva politicamente, a 18 anni ha iniziato la prima protesta contro il governo militare per chiedere la scarcerazione di suo padre Malik Ghulam Jilani, arrestato per aver denunciato il governo pakistano per genocidio in quello che oggi è il Bangladesh (ex Pakistan orientale).

Sua madre, Begum Sabiha Jilani, è stata una delle pochissime musulmane della sua epoca ad aver ricevuto un’istruzione superiore. Aveva combattuto il sistema tradizionale e aperto una sua attività di abbigliamento fino a quando le terre della sua famiglia vennero confiscate a causa della detenzione del marito.

Diventata avvocata nel 1978, quattro anni dopo era  già alla Corte Suprema. Si è distinta da subito per il suo impegno in favore delle persone più svantaggiate e fondato, insieme a altre tre avvocate, l’AGHS Law Associates, il primo studio legale di sole donne in Pakistan che operava gratuitamente.

È stata tra le promotrici del Forum di azione delle donne, per battersi contro leggi discriminanti secondo cui il valore della testimonianza di una donna valeva la metà di quella di un uomo e le vittime di stupro dovevano dimostrare la loro innocenza o essere punite a loro volta.

Nel 1983, ha guidato una protesta a Lahore contro una sentenza in cui una ragazza cieca di 13 anni, violentata dai suoi datori di lavoro, era stata accusata fornicazione e condannata a tre anni di reclusione e fustigazione. Grazie alla sua mobilitazione, il verdetto fu annullato. Nello stesso anno, venne incarcerata per essersi opposta alla politica di islamizzazione del generale Zia ul-Haq.

Nel 1986 ha vissuto a Ginevra dove è stata vicepresidente del Defence for Children International.

Dopo aver difeso un ragazzo cristiano di 14 anni accusato di blasfemia e condannato a morte, venne aggredita e minacciata di morte insieme alla sua famiglia. Imperterrita ha continuato a seguire il caso riuscendo a far assolvere il giovane. Grazie al suo impegno, nel 1986 nel Pakistan è stata istituita la legge sulla blasfemia.

Per oltre quarant’anni si è battuta, correndo grandi rischi personali, per i diritti di donne, bambini, minoranze religiose, libertà di stampa, contro il lavoro forzato e la pena capitale. Ha creato il primo centro di accoglienza per donne in difficoltà e dibattuto le prime cause di divorzio.

Ha co-presieduto il Forum dell’Asia meridionale per i diritti umani ed è stata vicepresidente della Federazione internazionale per i diritti umani. È stata relatrice speciale delle Nazioni Unite sulla libertà di religione dal 2004 al 2010.

Nel maggio 2005, ha contribuito a organizzare una maratona in cui correvano insieme uomini e donne per sensibilizzare l’opinione pubblica sulla violenza contro le sportive da parte degli estremisti religiosi. Gruppi islamisti armati di armi da fuoco, manganelli e molotov si opposero con violenza all’evento e l’avvocata venne pubblicamente picchiata, spogliata e poi arrestata dalla polizia.

Nel novembre 2007, sotto il regime del generale Musharraf, venne nuovamente arrestata e posta agli arresti domiciliari insieme ad altri 500 tra avvocati, politici dell’opposizione e attivisti per i diritti umani.

Nel 2010 è stata la prima donna a essere eletta presidente dell’Associazione degli avvocati della Corte Suprema.

Nel 2014 ha ricevuto il Right Livelihood Award “per aver difeso, protetto e promosso i diritti umani in Pakistan, spesso in situazioni molto difficili e complesse e a grande rischio personale”.

Ha ricevuto numerosi dottorati e lauree ad honorem, il Premio UNESCO/Bilbao per la promozione di una cultura dei diritti umani. È stata insignita della Legion d’Onore francese.

Ha scritto vari libri tra cui Figli di un dio minore.

Il suo impegno non si è limitato solo al Pakistan. Per tre volte è stata relatrice speciale delle Nazioni Unite: sulle esecuzioni extragiudiziali, sommarie e arbitrarie; sulla libertà di religione e di pensiero in Sri Lanka e Iran.

Ha lasciato la terra l’11 febbraio febbraio 2018 a Lahore.

Asma Jahangir non ha mai avuto paura di andare contro l’ordine precostituito, è stata picchiata, minacciata, arrestata più volte, dichiarata traditrice della patria e dell’islam, ma ha proseguito imperterrita la sua lotta per i diritti civili fino all’ultimo respiro.

অপ্রকাশিত ইতিহাসঃ

২৯ এপ্রিল ১৯৯১ঃ বাংলাদেশের উপকূলে ঘূর্ণিঝড়ের তান্ডব। অন্যদিকে নতুন সরকারের কোষাগার শূন্য। গুদাম শূন্য। কর্ণফুলী সেতুর একাংশ ভেঙে ভেসে চলে গিয়েছে নৌবাহিনীর প্যাট্রোলের আঘাতে। চট্টগ্রাম এয়ারবেজের যুদ্ধবিমানগুলো উলটে পালটে ছড়িয়ে ছিটয়ে আছে।

সংবাদ পাওয়ার সঙ্গে সঙ্গেই বেগম জিয়ার মনে হল ৯ বছরের স্বৈরাচারবিরোধী আন্দোলনের সহযোদ্ধা শেখ হাসিনার কথা। লাখ জনতার সামনে দেওয়া প্রতিশ্রুতির কথা। গণতান্ত্রিক বাংলাদেশে সব রাজনৈতিক দল হবে একে অন্যের ফিল ইন দ্যা গ্যাপ।

শেখ হাসিনা হোলিকাপ্টার দাবী করলেন দূর্গত অঞ্চলে যেতে। তাই সঙ্গে সঙ্গেই বেগম জিয়া সংসদের বিরোধী দলীয় নেত্রীকে দুর্গত এলাকায় নিতে হেলিকপ্টার বরাদ্দ দিতে বললেন। এই নির্দেশের মাধ্যমে নবীন প্রধানমন্ত্রী।অজান্তে রুলস অফ বিজনেস ভঙ্গ করে বসলেন। কারণ প্রধানমন্ত্রী স্পিকার আর রাষ্ট্রপতির বাইরে কারো জন্য হেলিকপ্টার দেওয়ার নিয়ম নেই।

ঘোঁট বাঁধিয়ে বসলেন ফিরোজ নূন। তিনি নিয়মের একবিন্দু এদিক ওদিক করবেন না। একান্ত করতে হলে খালেদা ম্যাডাম যেন লিখিত অর্ডার দেন তাঁকে। শেষ পর্যন্ত স্পিকার সাহেবকেও ঐ কপ্টারে পাঠিয়ে রুলস অফ প্রায়রিটি ঠিক রাখা হ���।

এই ভ্রমণে স্পিকার, ক্যাপ্টেন হাফিজ এবং তোফায়েল আহমদ ছিলেন শেখ হাসিনার সঙ্গে। শেখ হাসিনা হয়তো জানতেও পারলেন না কী হুলুস্থুল যাত্রার আগে হচ্ছিল।

মজার বিষয় এরপর জনসভায় তিনি বললেনঃ

'এই সরকার কুফা সরকার; তাই এরা ক্ষমতাই আসার সাথে সাথে ঘূর্ণিঝড়ে লাখ লাখ মানুষ মারা গেছে।

আজকের দিনে প্রধানমন্ত্রী শেখ হাসিনা কি এমন একটি উদাহরণ সৃষ্টি করবেন? তাঁর কাছে এমন এটিচিউড তাঁর দলীয় কর্মীরাও কি ভাবতে পারেন? কল্পনা করা যায়?

বেগম জিয়া সেদিন আইন ভাঙ্গতে বসে ছিলেন। অথচ অন্যজনের সেই আইনের অন্যায় প্রয়োগে জীবন মরনের সন্ধিক্ষণে পৌঁছেছেন বেগম জিয়া।

It goes well with our biases to think of Muslim women as this weak and oppressed lot like they cannot think for themselves, they are docile, submissive and what not. And we still nurture this bias despite seeing women of Sudan climbing on top of vehicles in protest, we saw remarkable women of Shaheen bagh, we saw young girls in hijab riding scooter 🛵 to college fighting for their right to education (fighting not with their dads as is the image but Hindu mob) and now we see brave Iranian women burning their scarf, shaving their head... Try to think of women from other communities who have been this brave, this assertive and fighting against absolutely autocratic and dictatorial regimes that are not shy of using violence to quell protests. I'll wait.

Notice I haven't mentioned Begum Akhtar from Pakistan who under dictatorial regime of Zia walked onto stage wearing a black sari that was banned and then took mike and sang "Hum Dekhenge" - a nazm by Faiz on which again there was a ban. What guts! But then she was established singer and a well known figure unlike the common but extraordinary women mentioned before.

Remembering Master Ghulam Haider, the legendary music director of Hindi film industry, on his 66th death anniversary today.

Ghulam Haider was a well-known music composer who worked both in India and in Pakistan after independence. He changed the face of film songs by combining the popular Raags with the verve and rhythm of Punjabi music and also raised the status of music directors. He is also known for giving a break to the well-known playback singer, Lata Mangeshkar. Ghulam Haider was born in 1908 in n Narowal, Punjab. He studied dentistry and learnt music from Babu Ganeshlal. Giving up dentistry, he worked in the theatre in Calcutta as a harmonium player - first at the Alfred Theatrical Company and then the Alexandra Theatrical Company. He briefly worked with the Jenaphone recording company as composer and broke into films in Lahore with the father-son duo of Roshan Lal Shorey and Roop Kishore Shorey.

He got his big breakthrough film with D.M. Pancholi's Punjabi film Gul-e-Bakavali (1939) followed by Yamla Jat (1940), both starring Noor Jehan. His biggest hit came the following year with Khazanchi (1941). The music of Khazanchi caused a revolution. By then Music Directors of the 1930s, who had embellished films with their exquisite compositions set in classical ragas, were beginning to sound commonplace. Khazanchi's refreshingly free wheeling music not only took the audiences by storm but also made other music directors sit up and take notice. Combining popular ragas with the rich verve and rhythm of Punjabi music, Haidar ensured that the Indian film song would never be the same again.

'Khandaan' the following year with Noor Jehan was again a mega hit establishing Haider at the very top.

He moved to Bombay where he worked in films like Chal Chal re Naujawaan (1944), Phool (1944) and Humayun (1945). His best-known compositions were sung by Shamshad Begum and invoke Punjabi folk and extensively featured percussion instruments like the dholak.

Memorable Films Gul-e-Bakavali (Punjabi) (1939)Yamla Jat (Punjabi) (1940)Khazanchi (1941)Khandaan (1942)Zamindar (1942)Poonji (1943)Phool (1944)Humayaun (1945)Majboor (1948)Shaheed (1948)Kaneez (1949)Gulnar (1953)

Like many others Ghulam Haider too returned to Pakistan after the country’s partition and continued his work. During this tenure he scored music for Beqarar, Akeli, Bheegi Palkein and a couple of Noor Jahan films Gulemar and Laila. He died at the young age of forty-five in 1953..Ghulam Haider's success encouraged other Punjabi music directors to enter films. These included Shyam Sunder, Husnlal-Bhagatram, Feroz Nizami and Hansraj Behl.

He is also known for discovering or giving a break to a number of playback singing sensations including Umra-O-Zia Begum, Noorjehan, Shamshad Begum, Ali Bakhash Zahoor, Mohammed Rafi, Surinder Kaur and Lata Mangeshkar.

Today Ghulam Haider's name is almost forgotten. What remain are remnants of his work.
