'Let Pakistan know'

This kind of news really pisses me off. Sonia Naz is a 23 year old mother of two kids, who was arrested earlier this year for wandering into the parliament of this country. What she went through after she was arrested for this 'criminal act' is both chilling and shameful for the whole nation. It is indeed a bad and dark leave in our history. Not surprisingly though there are many more.
She alleges she was later kidnapped for 15 days and raped by Jaranwala SHO Jamshed Chishti - on the orders of SP Investigation Khalid Abdullah - soon after her release from Adiala jail.
"I had no idea that an SP level officer could be so cold-hearted and criminal," Sonia said before breaking into sobs.
"Had parliamentarians and Punjab government given me justice, I might have been saved the worst humiliation possible," Sonia wailed.

"Rapist" cops version When The News contacted SP Investigation Faisalabad Abdullah Khalid, who was recently promoted from rank of DSP to get his point of view, he appeared indifferent.
On the other hand, SP Abdullah started using derogatory language when he heard Sonias name. He passed many insulting comments on her character. But, when this correspondent pressed the SP to respond to the serious charges made against him, he outrightly rejected Sonias allegations.
"Look, Sonia only wants to become the Mukhtaran Mai of Faisalabad. I had also told the Lahore High Court judge that she would become (Mukhtarian Mai) to malign me," SP Abdullah shrugged off, sarcastically.
The SP claimed Sonia had changed 60 SIMs of different mobile phones to avoid arrest. But, he vowed that he would trace her and the rest of her family members soon as "I have widened my network all over Pakistan".
"Last time, she was reported to be hiding in Landhi, Karachi. Although, Landhi is a big area but do not worry, I am after her," Khalid Abdullah said, adding "she is a liar and I did not do anything to her", SP Abdullah said.

Recounting the day of the horror, Sonia said: "One day, when I was going to my tailor, I was picked up from Lahore by some people at gunpoint, who handcuffed and blindfolded me. After shoving me in a car and driving it for four hours, I was taken to a village house and warned if I ever tried to raise a voice, I would be simply gunned down".
"Finally, a night before my release, SP Abdullah personally came there with SHO Jamshed Chishti. The SP told me I had been maligning him all over Pakistan by first approaching the parliament and then giving interviews in the media and now he would teach me a lesson I would remember for rest of her life".
The SP, she said, chided her for doing this as he mocked that he had already released her husband.
"Then, turning furious, the SP directed the SHO to undress me and he started raping me. When I tried to resist, both of them thrashed me, causing many injuries to my face.
"After I was raped, SP Abdullah stepped forward and urinated in my mouth, challenging me to go and do whatever I could," said Sonia, sobbing bitterly.
"If all the Parliament could do was to send me to jail, what should I expect from rulers, now that I lie shorn of dignity and groveling like an untouchable".

We need to ask ourselves, can we allow such brutality to take place without so much as raising a single voice? If yes then we are truly the sons of this soil. Lament my friends because that is all you can do. But lament upon your own situation. she will live, one way or the other.

Learning Arduino 1

This holiday season I decided to gift myself some basic electrical components in the form of a Arduino UNO set from Elegoo. I have always had a desire to tinker with electronics and in gifting myself this basic set I am now starting on a journey to quench my inner electrical workman's thirst. I hope to develop this hobby as I move forward and will, from time to time, post about it here on the blog. As the journey moves forward I am sure to run into trouble and issues. But as they say you can not master anything without first being a fool at it, so I have decided to remain a fool at it until I am a little good at it. To start with, I do possess some elementary knowledge in electronics and electronic circuits. I intend to further my knowledge using the world wide web and following some very useful video channels on youtube. I will first start with some very basic projects to familiarize myself with Arduino and basic electronic circuits and techniques such as soldering. Then graduall...

Elections 08 V

In the election results of the year 33 former ministers who were closely associated with Musharraf have lost their seats. PML-Q has suffered losses to the seats of those who were stalwarts of the previous administration and were thought to be close to Musharraf himself. the results express more so a disgust and hatred with Musharraf and anything even closely related to him. Otherwise PML-Q has been able to win seats of those members who were not closely associated with Musharraf. So we can safely conclude that this is a an anti Musharraf vote and not a pro PPP or PML-N or ANP vote. In other news the Govt. is now thinking of letting go of the Chief Justice of Pakistan who has been kept under illegal house arrest since November 3, 2007. Aitizaz Ahsan was freed not until the last minutes before election and now Chief Justice's imminent freedom spell something very fishy. What was so important about him that he was not released before elections? What special situation has arise...

Pakistan Earthquake

It was terrifying to say the least. We have often heard the proverb being used again and again but this one was a real earth mover. It occurred at about 52 minutes past 8 in the morning while most of our urban population was still asleep in their homes. The jolts kept on coming for about a minute and 10 seconds and then there were lighter jolts in the evening. I was fulfilling my new found glory in the field of gardening when our tractor started shaking like mad. It was literally heaving its huge heavy body sideways like some shaky pendulum.    Then my father called in and told me that the quake had been hard on Rawalpindi and Islamabad. I talked to my relatives there to ensure that they were safe and away from harm's way. Afterwards I switched on the Television. Thus starts my cynicism for the whole event!    The anchor on the TV was so disturbed that he could not even tell the story right. At one point in time he is telling us all the reports fro...
