Pakistan police halt rally by Imran supporters, arrest dozens

Pakistan police confined no less than two dozen allies of imprisoned previous state head Imran Khan Sunday as they attempted to mobilize in the country's greatest city in front of races one month from now.

Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party has been seriously hamstrung in front of the February 8 survey, with conventions restricted, its party image removed, and many its up-and-comers dismissed from qualification to stand.

Privileges bunches have cautioned the public and common races need validity, with the strong military blamed for attempting to impact the vote.

On Sunday, PTI authorities asked allies to mobilize the nation over notwithstanding police pulling out or declining authorization for the social occasions to occur.

Around 2,000 accumulated in Karachi, the clamoring southern port city of north of 20 million individuals on the Middle Eastern Ocean, where AFP journalists saw around two dozen PTI allies confined by police and removed in trucks.

PTI media counsel Zulfiqar Bukhari said there had additionally been captures in Rawalpindi — the rambling post city adjoining the capital, Islamabad — as well as in different pieces of Punjab, the country's most crowded area.

Police authorities said they had no data on captures.

The political race has generally been a dreary undertaking up until this point, with few mass meetings — a blend of party inaction, citizen disregard, and the virus winter climate.

Three-time chief Nawaz Sharif, whose Pakistan Muslim Association Nawaz (PML-N) is supposed to take the most seats, has scarcely been seen on the battlefield, despite the fact that Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, who heads the other major dynastic political gathering, the Pakistan Public's Party (PPP), has been more apparent.

He held a convention in Rawalpindi on Sunday.

A significant part of the activity has occurred in the nation's courts, which for quite a long time have been at the focal point of fights by legislators and gatherings testing everything from the utilization of political decision images to the qualification of contenders to campaign for office.

This weekend, a few Pakistani columnists, political pundits and bloggers said they were brought by the nation's top wrongdoing organization to answer charges that they were running a "malignant mission" against Justices for the highest court in front of the decisions.

They had gotten seats from the Government Examination Organization gathering them for a meeting in the capital this week.

"This is the cost one needs to pay for this kind of reporting," Asad Ali Toor, one of the writers who had gotten a notification, told AFP, adding that he had confronted comparative cases under progressive legislatures.

Farieha Aziz, a computerized rights dissident in Karachi, told AFP the examination was important for an expansion in restriction in Pakistan.

Recently, the public authority reported it had framed a group to "find out realities behind a vindictive web-based entertainment crusade" against Justices for the highest court.

Murtaza Solangi, the overseer data server, expressed in excess of 500 online entertainment accounts had participated in the counter legal executive mission, adding that "move will be made".

This month, PTI lost a critical fight at the nation's top court to hold its cricket bat political decision image — imperative in a country where the grown-up proficiency rate is only 58%, as per World Bank information.

The decision, considered brutal by numerous legitimate specialists, was intensely scrutinized via virtual entertainment.

Media bunches have confronted weighty tension from the foundation — a term regularly used to allude to the nation's military and knowledge administrations — in the number one spot up to the political race, remembering a boycott for referencing Khan's name on the wireless transmissions.

Pakistan's military has straightforwardly managed the country for generally 50% of its set of experiences, and pundits say it keeps on keeping up with command over numerous parts of administration. (AFP)

ذوالفقار علی بھٹو جونیئر اور ذہنی کج روی

ذوالفقار علی بھٹو جونیئر، مرتضیٰ علی بھٹو کے صاحبزادے ہیں، ذوالفقار بھٹو کے پوتے ہیں، امریکہ میں مقیم ہیں، زنانہ بہروپ میں زنانہ لباس پہن کر کلب میں ناچتے ہیں، ان کا ماننا ہے کہ یہ دقیانوسی نظریہ ہے کہ ایک طاقتور مرد ہی قوم کا نمائندہ ہو سکتا ہے، اُن کے نزدیک مردانگی دراصل نرمی میں ہے۔ ایک ڈاکیومینٹری میں انہوں نے اپنے ان خیالات کا اظہار کیا ہے جسے دیکھ کے بظاہر یوں لگتا ہے جیسے اپنے والد، پھوپھی اور خاندان کے دیگر افراد کے قتل نے انہیں مجبور کیا کہ وہ مردانہ برتری کے خلاف آواز اٹھائیں اور اس کا بہترین عملی طریقہ انہوں نے زنانہ پن میں ڈھونڈا، اسی لئے وہ اِس ڈاکیومینٹری میں عورت کی طرح کڑھائی کرتے اور ناچتے نظر آتے ہیں۔

بحث یہ نہیں کہ بھٹو جونیئر کو اپنے داد ا کی وراثت سنبھالنی چاہئے تھی یا نہیں اور بحث یہ بھی نہیں کہ ایک فرد کی حیثیت سے انہیں عورت کا بہروپ بھرنے کی آزادی میسر ہے یا نہیں۔ بحث یہ ہے کہ کیا مرد کی نام نہاد مردانگی کے خلاف مزاحمت کا یہ طریقہ مناسب ہے، بحث یہ ہے کہ کیا فرد کی آزادی کے نام پر کی جانے والی کسی بھی حرکت پر رائے زنی کی جا سکتی ہے یا اسے شخصی آزادی کے کھاتے میں ڈال کر خاموش رہنا چاہیے، بحث یہ ہے کہ ذہنی کج روی اور نارمل انسان کے رویے میں کوئی فرق ہوتا ہے یا ذہنی کج روی کا سرے سے کوئی وجود ہی نہیں، بحث یہ ہے کہ اگر کوئی مزاحمت کا نیا اور انوکھا طریقہ اختیار کرے تو اسے محض اس لئے مسترد کر دیا جائے کہ وہ مرجہ طریقہ کار سے متصادم ہے، بحث یہ ہے کہ اگر کوئی مرد عورت کا بہروپ بھرے تو کیا اس پر تبرّا کرنا جائز ہو جاتا ہے اوربحث یہ ہے کہ کیا مرد کا عورت کے روپ میں کلب میں ناچنا کسی اعلیٰ اور ارفع مقصد کے حصول کی جدو جہد کا استعارہ کہلایا جا سکتا ہے ؟

ہر شخص کی طرح بھٹو جونیئر کو بھی اپنی زندگی جینے کا حق ہے، وہ چاہیں تو کسی جنگل میں نکل جائیں، سنیاس لے لیں، کراچی میں کوئی ریستوران کھول لیں، فائٹر پائلٹ بن جائیں، ایدھی کی طرح انسانی فلاح کا کوئی کام کریں، امریکہ میں عیاشی کریں، اپنے دادا کی وراثت کو زندہ کریں یاکوئی بھی کام کریں جو اُن کا دل چاہے۔ اپنے اسی حق کو استعمال کرتے ہوئے انہوں نے عورت کا روپ بھرا اور کلب میں ناچنے کا فیصلہ کیا، یہ زندگی اُن کی ہے اور یہ فیصلہ بھی اُن کا ہے سو وہ جہاں رہیں خوش رہیں، یہاں تک تو بات ٹھیک ہے، کسی کو اِس بات کا مذاق اڑانے کی اجازت نہیں ہونی چاہئے مگر ساتھ ہی اِس حرکت پرتنقید یا تحسین کرنا بھی ہر شخص کا حق ہے۔ مصیبت یہ ہے کہ مغرب سے جو بھی حرکت امپورٹ ہو کر ��ٓتی ہے یہاں کے لبرل دانشور اسے سینے سے لگانا اپنے ایمان کا حصہ سمجھتے ہیں اورایسی کسی حرکت پر تنقید کو شخصی آزادی اور آزاد خیالی پر حملہ تصور کیا جاتا ہے۔

یہ شخصی آزادی کا لطیفہ بھی خوب ہے، صاحب آپ کی شخصی آزادی سر آنکھوں پر، ہمیں بھی تو یہ آزادی دیجئے کہ ہم کہہ سکیں کہ کسی مرد کا عورت کے روپ میں کلب میں ناچنا مرد کے ظلم کے خلاف مزاحمت تو دور کی بات دراصل ذہنی کج روی کی ایک شکل ہے۔ اب یہ سوال اٹھایا جائے گا کہ بھائی آپ کب سے نفسیات دان ہو گئے جو یہ طے کرنے بیٹھ گئے کہ ذہنی کج روی کیا ہوتی ہے۔ درست ہے، میں نفسیات دان نہیں، اپنے الفاظ واپس لیتا ہوں، یہ ذہنی کج روی نہیں، تو پھر یہاں کیوں رُکتے ہیں، آگے بڑھتے ہیں، امریکہ میں تو ہر قسم کے کلب ہیں، ایسے بھی ہیں جہاں مرد ’’ڈانسنگ بئیر ‘‘ بن کے ناچتے ہیں تو کیوں نہ اقوام متحدہ سے مطالبہ کیا جائے کہ اِس ’’جدو جہد ‘‘کے صلے میں اِن مردوں کو کوئی خطاب دے دیا جائے !

انسان تو بعض ایسی حرکتیں بھی کرتے ہیں کہ انہیں لکھا تو کیا نجی محفل میں بھی اظہار نہیں کیا جا سکتا ہے، اُن سب کے ضمن میں بھی کسی نفسیات دان کی سند موجود نہیں تو کیا پھر انسان کی ذہنی کج روی کا تصور ہی سرے سے بکواس ہے ؟ چلیں ہم یہ مان لیتے ہیں کہ کسی مرد کا عورت کے روپ میں ناچنا ذہنی کج روی نہیں، لیکن یہ تو مجبور نہ کریں کہ اس حرکت کی تحسین کی جائے اور اسے عظیم جدو جہد کا استعارہ بھی سمجھا جائے ! یہ درست ہے کہ (مسٹر ) بھٹو نے مزاحمت کا طریقہ کار خاصا مختلف چنا اور محض اس بنیاد پر اسے رد نہیں کیا جا سکتا مگر یہ مزاحمت کیسے اور کس کے خلاف ہے، یہ سمجھ نہیں آئی۔ سٹرپٹیز کلب میں ناچتی ہوئی عورت تو کہہ سکتی ہے کہ وہ مظلو م ہے مگر اپنی مرضی سے عورت کا بہروپ بھر کے ناچنے والا کون سے اعلیٰ و ارفع مقصد کی تکمیل کر رہا ہے، خدا جانتا ہے کہ میری سمجھ سے باہر ہے۔ اس بات پر تما م لبرل مرد و خواتین مجھے جاہل کہہ سکتے ہیں، مجھے کوئی اعتراض نہیں۔ لیکن بھٹو جونیئر کی یہ بات بھی کسی لطیفے سے کم نہیں کہ طاقتور مرد کو ہی قوم کا نمائندہ سمجھا جاتا ہے کیونکہ موصوف کی اپنی آنٹی بے نظیر بھٹو نے اس روایتی نظریے کی دھجیاں اڑائیں اور ایک نہتی لڑکی کے طور پرجدو جہد کی مثال قائم کی، کیا وہ کوئی طاقتور مرد تھیں ؟

مسئلہ یہ ہے کہ مغرب سے درآمد شدہ نظریات ہمارے آزاد خیال دانشوروں کو بے حد محبوب ہیں، شخصی آزادی سے لے کر اظہار رائے کی آزادی تک ہمارے یہ لبرل دوست کسی قسم کی لکیر کھینچنے کے قائل نہیں کیونکہ مائی باپ امریکہ نے ایسی کوئی لکیر نہیں کھینچی۔ نتیجہ اس کا یہ نکلتا ہے کہ آپ کسی بھی قسم کی آفاقی سچائی کا مضحکہ اڑا سکتے ہیں کیونکہ آزادی کی کوئی حد طے نہیں کی جا سکتی چاہے یہ آزادی کسی کی ذات تک ہی کیوں نہ محدود ہو۔ ویسے یہ ناممکن ہے کیونکہ شخصی آزادی بھی کسی نہ کسی انداز میں دوسرے شخص پر اثر انداز ہوتی ہے، مثلا ً اگر کوئی یہ سمجھتا ہے کہ سر عام بوس و کنار کرتے ہوئے ہم جنس پرست کسی راہ چلتے ب��ے کے ذہن پر کوئی نقش نہیں ڈالتے تو میں اسے ذہنی کج روی ہی کہوں گا۔ اسی طرح آزادی اظہار کی لا محدود آزادی بھی بے گناہ انسانوں کے قتل کا باعث بن سکتی ہے، کوئی لبرل ملک محض یہ کہہ کر بری الذمہ نہیں ہو سکتا کہ یہ میرے آئین میں دی گئی گارنٹی کے مطابق ہے سو مسلمان مرتے ہیں تو مریں۔

لا محدود آزادی اور اس کے نتیجے میں جنم لینے والا معاشرہ ایک روبوٹک معاشرہ تو ہو سکتا ہے جہاں ہر کوئی دوسرے سے لا تعلق ناک کی سیدھ میں چلا جا رہا ہو اور اپنے کام سے کام رکھ کر ناک کی سیدھ میں واپس آ جائے مگر انسانوں کے معاشرے میں یہ ممکن نہیں۔ جیتے جاگتے انسان روبوٹ نہیں ہوتے، لا محدود انسانی آزادیاں چاہے شخصی اور انفرادی ہی کیوں نہ ہوں ایسے مکروہ افعال کو جنم ضرور دیتی ہیں جو فرد کے دائرے سے باہر نکل جاتے ہیں اور جن کا کوئی نارمل انسان دفاع نہیں کر سکتا، اگر ہم اندھا دھند ایسی آزادیوں کا دفاع کریں گے تو پھر کوئی آفاقی سچائی باقی نہیں بچے گی، چاہے وہ آفاقی سچائی خاندان کی حرمت ہو یا مرد کا مرد بن کر رہنا۔ یاسر پیر زادہ

Ghinwa Bhutto

Ghinwa Bhutto (Urdu: غنویٰ بھٹو‎, Sindhi: غنوا ڀٽو, Arabic: غنوة بوتو‎) is a politician and the widow of Murtaza Bhutto. She is also the sister-in-law of the late Benazir Bhutto. She is of Syrian-Lebanese origin and is the second wife of Murtaza Bhutto and stepmother of Fatima Bhutto.

Ghinwa has been estranged from the powerful Bhutto family ever since she accused Benazir and her husband Asif Ali Zardari of conspiracy to the 1996 murder of Mir Murtaza.

 She also accused Benazir and Zardari of corruption.[1] Zardari was arrested as a suspect in the murder of Murtaza, he was later released due to lack of evidence. Her husband's killers were never brought to justice. In 1997, Ghinwa staked claim to the Bhutto political legacy. She formed PPP-SB and became the chairperson of that[2] and ran for election in Larkana in 3 Feb 1997. Benazir convinced her mother Nusrat Bhutto, then president of the Pakistan Peoples Party, to run against her.[1] Though her opponent suffered from Alzheimer's disease, Ghinwa was defeated.[1]

 Ghinwa lives in the Bhutto family home in Karachi with her son Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Jr. (named after his grandfather Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto) and her step daughter Fatima Bhutto. Prior to marrying Murtaza, Ghinwa worked as a ballet dancer/teacher.[3]In 2002, Pakistani election authorities rejected her candidacy for the October 10 election. Ghinwa was rejected on the grounds of not possessing the required minimum academic qualification of a university degree.[4] In August 2007 Ghinwa Bhutto passed the BA exams from the Punjab University in First Division with 526 marks. Ghinwa, roll # 86604, appeared as a private candidate. To be eligible to contest elections, Ghinwa chose to take the Punjab University BA exam because the results were to be declared by the end of August, before the elections.[5]

 After the first suicide attack following Benazir's return to Pakistan in October 2007, Ghinwa remarked: "I think she has invited trouble herself. She has always thrived on this victimisation complex. She always loves to be the victim and whatever happens to anybody, at the end she is a victim."[6]However, when Benazir was assassinated on December 27, 2007 Ghinwa put their differences aside. She attended the funeral with her step daughter, Fatima.[2]

Pakistan People’s Celebration Chairman Bilawal Bhutto, when addressing a ceremony on Planet Press Freedom Working day in Karachi, claimed that Pakistani media is facing undeclared censorship. Sadly, the journalist community agrees with him.

Pakistan’s media houses are doing work less than a local weather of worry, which is influencing their protection and operations. Journalists are ever more practising self-censorship to help you save the two their jobs and lives they are bullied on social media, kidnapped in broad daylight, and threatened for reporting details.

The federal government is managing commercials for information channels in an attempt to silence them. It is a really sorry condition for media homes that intensely rely on government adverts. The most current example is the country’s most-browse English language newspaper, Dawn, and its Television set channel, whose commercials were being banned on Press Liberty Working day. Mubashir Zaidi, a senior journalist affiliated with explained channel, broke the information in a person of his tweets.
