Farewell Ceremony For Raheel Shareef Is A "Silly" Thing...Cyril Almeida #MirMak
Write against the national security, leak news that never existed by
fabricating it, catch a flight out of Pakistan, get funded for the trip
by the western interests, sit in in the west and write against Pakistan
and then the world wonders if this
anti-pakistan mentality
exists within
Pakistan in the journalistic community. Journalism is not about
opinions, journalism is about reporting. Its about unearthing with
honesty what regular citizens would like to become aware of. Journalism
is always in the interest of the country you belong to, where you are
born, where you get fed from, where you make a living, where you, your
parents and your next generations live and get buried in. Journalism is
never about creating divides, it is never about promoting a gulf between
communities of citizens or governmental institutions.
Celebration or a farewell is nothing but a recognition of someone's
services to its nation. Perhaps this west licking journalist forgot that
it is not only part of his master's teaching but also a part of our
religion and faith that we mourn sadness and celebrate happiness.
Celebration is of all kinds starting right from our school life. We work
hard, we study, we take exams we get the results and if we pass we
"Celebrate" those results. We keep our first "Roza" and that day for a
child is celebrated. We finish reading Quran as a child and we celebrate
it with a ceremony. Our Prophet's birth we celebrate. The night when
Quran descended upon earth we celebrate. We get married we celebrate. We
have a child we celebrate. We elect a Prime Minister we celebrate. We
win elections we celebrate as the members of the party. Life is about
celebration and farewells.
But why is it that to prove your
importance as a journalist in Pakistan, you have to write against
Pakistan and the small happy moments of Pakistanis. Us Pakistanis
deserve every moment of happiness and celebration that we can get our
hands on after having suffered from terrorism for decades. Not every
Pakistani has the luxury of running away to America or England like
Cyril did. There are people who can not even afford to leave their
villages let alone go to another country. And those people deserve
national celebrations. Good and bad journalists exist in every country
but them being good and bad depends on their reporting or writing skills
not anti-state remarks. Trying to demoralize a nation by suggesting to
strip them of small celebrations is nothing but work of a devilish mind
specially when Cyril himself is sitting in a luxurious country in a
luxurious environment being paid for the trip by hate spreading NGO's,
where everything is celebrated including Halloween.
Cyril
Almeida, You are a one story wonder boy. You were nothing prior to
breaking one story and you will be nothing after even 100 such stories.
Good thing that you left Pakistan because the quicker dirt is gotten
riddance of, the better the environment becomes. Pakistanis will
celebrate our happiness, our occasions, our triumphs, our victories, our
accomplishments and soon enough we will also celebrate getting rid of
journalists like you. We will call it "The Almeida Riddance Day".....
