A very touching film which must be watched by all alike, it was set to be released on Nov 21st in a viewing at FAST-NU Lahore but the authorities clamped down on this and prevented the viewing. Since then it has moved on to the digital world originally uploaded at [ The Critique Aggregator ] while simultaneously uploaded on the Missing in Pakistan blog. Watch the video and spread the word, if you want to download a full screen version then download from RapidShare 103MB

Message from [ The Critique Aggregator ]

The Critique Aggregator (http://paki-blogger.blogspot.com) is a blog maintained by concerned activists, academics, some of them of Pakistani origin, some non-Pakistani but concerned with the situation in Pakistan, living wherever they are. The aim of the blog is to resist state oppression in Pakistan and to disseminate critical information. The bloggers have just uploaded a video on people Missing in Pakistan. We are not taking the credit for the video either. We are only the disseminators. Watch the video released today by the students at a protesting university in Lahore. The names of the documentary filmmakers are in the movie. So the credit goes to the brave filmmakers. Not to us. The bloggers also seek anonymous contributions from all concerned citizens of the world on the situation in Pakistan.

Send in your anonymous contributions to this email address. We will not publish any story with a name so do not send anything with your real name. The focus is on privacy and safety. Not on gaining fame. Namelessness and facelessness are the most well-known resistance tactics. Forget them and you are eaten by the agencies of Pakistan.

It is a viral movement. We want to publish fearless stories. Individual opinions. Cutting-edge reports. Protest tactics. We are trying to become the faceless multitude. The flash protest. The autonomous viral movement of resistant action. This is not the time to cut a deal with Musharraf or his cronies or the Empire that supports Busharraf or to garner fame. This is the time to try and push for a change in Pakistan.

NOTE: If you send something to us for publication and it has your REAL name on it, we will change the name. So it is better if you use a consistent nom de guerre / pen name for yourself. It is even better if this name is symbolic or figurative (like LUMS Pamphleteer) so that there is no accidental resemblance with any real person. We can give due credit to your nom de guerre. Please also try to substantiate your analysis with pictures and videos. We are not trying to replace other blogs but to complement them because we have very fast uploading connections. We support the movement at LUMS, FAST-NU, BNU, Quaid e Azam University, Punjab University and elsewhere in Pakistan. We do not seek any recognition. We are part of the collective struggle.

ANOTHER NOTE: Some of the stuff on the blog is rude or uses coarse language. But after seeing the video on the missing people, you will forgive our little rude jokes on Musharraf. It is our attempt to laugh in the face of extremely rude dictatorship by being a little bit obscene every now and then. It is all political humor. Milan Kundera has written somewhere that, during the Soviet Occupation, people recognized the members of the resistance in Czechoslovakia because of their tendency to laugh. Laughter is subversive too. This blog will be maintained by volunteers and many people already know the password. So if one or two persons are removed or hunted down, it will not be silenced. It is already a work of a multitude and all of them use the same username and password.

Yours in solidarity

Whatever currently is happening in Pakistan is really saddening. How can we tolerate such a situation in our midst. The people who are disappearing are real people, fathers, brothers, sons, husbands, to their near and dear ones. Really tragic that so many innocents are having to suffer for the faults of few erstwhile rulers of Pakistan who didnt not have the foresight to see that if they play with fire, the fire one day could also singe you. The terrorism and fundamentalism which the rulers of Pakistan have been playing with all these last 30 years is wreaking havoc on the innocents of Pakistan. In this dark hour, I can only offer my sympathies and nothing else. I am an Indian, and anything that we say or do to help people will affect negatively on the people of Pakistan.

The only thing that i could think about after sparing my 24 mins was that i love my land and hate the people residing on it, why couldnt anyone possibly save that kid who was forceffuly being put in the police van, everyone around there was busy in making reports and taking pictures, our leaders are cursed. And we are foolish enough to bring them back again and again evrytime despite the fact that watever has been done over the past years. With power comes responsibilities, but we r the most selfish of all. God always provides His being with two options and the right to choose between them.

Alas! We are blind

i don’t get it why is Pakistan turning into a country which falls in the list of dangerous and black list. from the day in moved to Canada with my family i have never even thought about going back because like the man said in video i don’t even know when i will be killed or picked up by government fucking police. Pakistan have no rights for anyone expect person with power. tell me if any international country’s company is anymore interested in investing money in Pakistan. Pakistan was better in 1980s then this. biggest problem is the freaking parties like mqm and mma they will kill everyone to become the prime minister.

Pakistan Needs a bloody revolution only solution for our all problems.

In international Community non Muslims people thinks we are slave and can do anything for money and Muslim thinks we are not with them we are hypocrites….

bilal raja on June 14th, 2009 at 7:38 pm #

its just an propaganda. USA and their intelligent services dont have much time to spend on people who have done nothing. if these people have done nothing, they are innocent, intelligent services should have know very well.

this generation of Pakistan is given dark future by our past leaders. they got every thing from usa for their bank balance and given PAKISTAN in return. and now we cant do any thing against USA. our every child born is under debt of IMF and USA. Pakistani people raising voice for missing people have connection with USA. they just paid to do this. NOW what is possible reason for this. just they want to unstable Pakistan. they want to damage Image of Pakistan and want to show that Pakistan is Terrorist state and UNCLE of world UNITED STATE OF AMERICA will give their services to help Pakistan ultimately will take Pakistan. we are just a sleeping nation.

Muslims of sub continent provide huge sacrifices for the formation of Pakistan in the name of Islam only. But after achieving goal due to conspiracy of anti Islamic elements & their puppets present in ruling class failed to fulfill the dreams about Pakistan, which is cheating not only with the Muslims, but is cheating with Allah in the name of Allah. Result divine disaster 71 big tragedy. There is much impact of this secular, unfair & corrupt ruling class over the common public, result in the name of caste, nationality, religion ……divided in many sets, sub sets……which is totally against the spirit of Pakistan. Present miserable situation is also because of this secular ruling class allergic with Islam in Pakistan based on Islam.
Allah the super power will fulfill His promise, in case Pakistan & Kashmir freedom movement system will be the symbol of Islamic justice.
No doubt all anti Islamic forces including India are engaged to destabilize Pakistan, 71 tragedy a part of the same dirty plan. Even these forces succeed to create different agendas in Kashmir freedom movement, which is based on Islam.
During various meetings with Pak & Kashmir freedom leaders, I request them that, there is only one option to prove sincerity to practice & be symbol of Islam for national cause rather to prefer self or group interests. We can’t change the policies of our enemies but are in position to be positive. Is any our leader ready to eliminate his ego, group, leadership, ready for accountability & to live like great Ummer R.A or Ali R.A. in the movement based on Islam. Only under such positive situation Allah can give us reward, otherwise in the name of moderate extremism in such system without pittance we are ourselves enough to destroy our mission & to benefit our enemies as we do observe in Pakistan state & non state elements strike our Pakistan & anti Islamic forces enjoying the killing of snake & Ramzan both being their enemies.
My great grandfather a social worker used to visit India, he once told me that in Amratser & Delhi before 71, many his friends among businessmen tycoons treat themselves unsafe in case of any attack by Pakistan, but after 71 tables were turned. Afganistan war against USSR recharge that spirit but our personal desires, disunity, lack of wisdom……………………even after success provide our enemies enough room to mislead us.
May ALLAH guide us

There cannot be a bigger lie than the assertion that Muslims sacrificed for the sake of Islam during the Pakistan Movement or Pakistan was going to be established in the name of Islam.

Every Mullah of any description, such as Jamaat-e-Islami, Khaksar Tehrik, Jamiat Ulma-e-Islam, Majlis-e-Ahraar, every one of them opposed Jinnah and his Muslim League.

The slogan “Pakistan Ka Matlab kia, La Illaha Ill Allah” was simply raised to popularise among the masses the demand for the separate Muslim Home Land.

Don’t try to mislead people. You can’t delete what has been written in the pages of the history by the short-sighted Mullahs like Maulana Maudoodi who failed to conceive that without a piece of land of their own, Muslims can’t lay the foundations of a utopian Islamic State.

The same is true about the Khilafat Movement. They demanded initially from Mustafa Kamal and later on from Sharif-e-Mecca and Shah Saud successively to acquire the title of Khalifatul Muslimeen. They were disappointed miserably.

These people had no courage to make the British Colonialists run away from India and establish Khilafat in their own home land but were uselessly demanding others to assume the title of Khalifatul Muslimeen, not knowing and even now ignorant of the fact that in the age of democracy there is no room for things like Khilafat that is the story of tribal period in the hoistory of Islam.

Shibli Naumani, a Muslim scholar of great learning, once said to Sir Syed Ahmed Khan: “Every nation of the world wants to progess so much that it could touch the sky high limits of development of human society; only the Muslims want to go back, back and back to the extent that they don’t want to stop short of Khilafat-e-Raashida “.

Just think about what they are teaching in Maddrassas. This Dars-i-Nizami can’t make a person capable of earning his livelyhood and making an individual a respectable, self-relient, bread-earner for himself and his family. The only job that he can do is to become a pesh imaam in a mosque. That means you have no ther business than to construct a mosque for every graduate of a mosque school. Can you do that?

All these graduates from the mosque schools are devoid of innovative powers because innovation called biddah is prohibited in Islam. Muslims’ contribution in modern science and technology is zero during the last 500 years.

Therefore, please stop telling lies. This is no service to Islam or the Muslims.

N A Z I R

Dear Nazir sb
Aslam ala kum
With regards & prays
Read your opinion. My request is that while discussion we should avoid to impose our views, personal attacks & to be within moral valves. Also while committing such dignities, who are noble for others, we are supposed to be too cautious. For details plz go through my article “FORMULA FOR SHEA SUNNY UNITY” published in UMMA.

If we delete Islam in the formation of Pakistan, then what was problem with united India? If we go through history, it was only the spirit of Islam, which motivates Muslims of sub continent to sacrifice & support in the movement of Pakistan.

Those Ulmas, who were opposite to Muslim Leage , also showed concerned about Quad azam & the geography of Pakistan not the agenda of Muslim Leage. For proof please go through the News papers, lectures & magazines of the period from 1940 to 1947. Here let me mention the book written by F.K.Khan Durana “MEANING OF PAKISTAN” , in page No 10, he writes that Pakistan is not only for to Islamilise its own territory, but as base camp to impose Islamic justice to India also, as Islam doesn’t believe on boundaries. Even leading congress leaders like Dr Rajander Parshad in his article in “PAKISTAN PAR IJTEMAYEA NAZAR” in Urdu magazine NEYEA ZINDGEA special Number 1946,admits the agenda of Muslim leage is to frame the Pakistan an Islamic state.

In present Kasmir freedom movement, Islam is the main factor, which motivates majority to sacrifice, in case Islam is deleted, what is problem with India. Even there are more chances of development with India. Also before 1988, situation was normal & majority was supporting N.C. It was only the spirit of Islam, which after the rigging of 87 elections & defeat of USSR in Afganistan recharge the Muslim youth of Kashmir against India.

No doubt many leading Ulmas opposed Quad Azam, without any research, we are not authorized to commit against such noble Muslim scholars. In the book FORMATION OF PAKISTAN written by William, admits that the Muslim scholar Madne was against Quad Azam. Also admits that Molana Madne in addition to charity & other religious activities was engaged in spreading Islam in India & succeed to convert more than thirty thousand non Muslims to Muslims. We are supposed to understand the concerns of Mulana Madne via his articles especially his famous booklet tittled as MUTEHADEA QUMYAT AUR ISLAM.

For leading Ulmas scholars like Molana Modode engaged in providing right direction to Muslims via his literature & newly formed Jamat Islame, it was impossible to limit the message of Islam within boundaries, which ISLAM, the blessing of Allah is for universe.

Regarding the genius Islamic scholar Allama Mashreqe, the founder of Khaksar Tehreek, it is added that his mission was to spread the boundaries of Pakistan by force, so showed concerned regarding Muslim Leage.

Majorty of such Ulmas & Muslim scholars were concerned about the rest Muslim population & not in favor of such weak Pakistan, which can be utilized by West for their interests.

Still after formation of Pakistan Mulana Modode & Molana Mashreqe prefer Pakistan & Muslim scholars like Molana Made, Molana Azad India. It was unfair to leave a great Muslim population alone without any sincere leadership in India. Even after the formation of Pakistan in addition to Education, Charity, Tableeg, there is a huge history of sacrifices Jamat Islame for Pakistan in East Pakistan, Afganistan & Kashmir, which none can deny.

Here let me expose this realty that till 1946, there was not any conception of migration of population, under such circumstances in areas for Pakistan Punjab, Bengal, Sindh the ratio of population of non muslims was more than 33%, , so these Muslim scholars showed concerned about Islamic law because of some landlord Muslim leage leaders& the safety of both Muslims & non Muslims in both countries after being created enmity by Britin.

Quad Azam, who after observing Chankya policy of congress leaders was fed up & was leading with the help of many Ulmas like Shabeer Usmane,Muslims for Pakistan. As per his many speeches & meetings, he was serious to impose Islamic justice Law. And few leading Muslim scholars & ulmas were not ready to limit Islam in boundaries, intention of both were fair. As the both school of thoughts were sincere with Muslims, without self interests & desires.

Quad Azam being fair & honest leader never try to cheat even his enemies. So it is impossible for true leader like Quad Azam to deceive Muslims via slogan PAKISTAN KIA MATLAB KEA LA ELLA H ELL ALLAH. In case as claimed by present few secular scholars, that his intention was never to impose Islamic law in Pakistan, would have never said that we don’t need to import any Law as we have our Shrea Laws & would have stopped masses to raise such Islamic slogans in favor of Pakistan.

Khalafat is only with solution for oppressed human beings. May be those , who are allergic to Islamic our heroes, cant digest these facts, that it is the Islamic laws which gives chance to common person to verify about the dress of Khalefa. Ummer R.A,none can deny Imam Ali R.A. as symbol of Islamic justice. But, sorry to say as mentioned by Imam Khumane that anti Islamic forces while criticizing Islamic heroes are actually opposing Islam.

Regarding Ali Brothers Khalafat tehreek, we need to understand the plans of Jews & other Islamic forces against Usmanyea khalafat & the back ground of Mustafa Kamal, whose mother was also a Jew. So the attempt of Khalafat tehreek was a fair movement but no doubt result was not good for Muslims as consequent measures were not taken. Same situation in present Kashmir movement, not major reforms for affected families of martyrs, migrants, disable, prisoners…& some leaders in the name of sacrifices of Kashmires enjoying luxuries in both sides & throughout the World. No doubt this is tragedy with Islamic movements in the past & in present.

What about present so called democracy in which ruling class in Ind_Pak enjoying all faculties & common public do suffer. Under Islamic justice law & During Khalafat there is no room for such injustice.

Islam in addition to Nezame Daras guides for Education, research, even first Ayat is IQRA, READ. Sorry Ummah failed to practice the main spirit of Islam so are in back seat.

Regarding the services of Islam for modern World let me quote the Book History of the World, in which non believer author admits that it is the Muslim era in Europe, which promote Education, civilization especially the irrigation in western World. Still I do agree being divided in sets sub sets & with differences though with believe in one Allah, prophet & book. Need of time is to understand the reason behind the upper hand of West & downfall of Muslims, which is lack of Education in modern technology, charity, Education.

It is not because of the blessings of Allah ISLAM but because of our deeds. As, we failed to practice the fair spirit of Islam, result we are dependable on West..

Still let us not ignore the services of Muslim scientists in the field of Algebra, sea ships, medicine, but presently no contribution. So need of time is to work hard & follow the path of ISLAM, which guides development in all fields. Then Allah will help us & fulfil His promise as He says, He helps those who help themselves.

May Allah guide us all?
AMEEN
