KARACHI:
Police on Sunday lodged a first information report (FIR) against unknown persons who tried to dishonour the statue of Priest King at a site of Mohenjo Daro – one of the largest settlements of ancient Indus Valley Civilisation.
The case was registered by Airport Police Station in Mohenjo Daro on the complaint of the watchman of the archaeological site.
"The case has been registered under Section 295-A which deals with deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs," a duty officer at the police station said.
The case was registered following a photo that went viral on social media in which three visitors were spotted dishonouring the statue of Priest King, an iconic representation of Indus civilisation that is placed at the entrance of the site.

"We are tracing the people who are involved in this cheap act and have disgraced the statue. There was an outcry on social media including Twitter, Facebook and Instagram and people belonging to different walks of life condemned the act demanding action against the culprits.
"We live in a civilised society and it's insane to disgrace the icon of a civilisation we should be proud of it," journalist and activist Nisar Khokhar said, adding that strict action must be taken against people involved in it.
Soon after the incident, many people in Sindh replaced their profile pictures on Facebook and Twitter with Mohenjo Daro or Priest King’s photo for showing sympathy.

In that sense PPP has so much to offer. In fact Bhutto senior was brought down by a nexus of America, Mullahs and Gen Zia.
[/QUOTE]

Meh I really felt Bhutto Sr let the mullahs out of the genie bottle plus did he appoint Zia as well so and besides like Most Pakistani leaders he wanted to just suck up aid money from everyone be it the Americans,Soviets and the Chinese I do think he deserves credit when due to Pakistan biggest insurance policy nuclear weapons for defensive purposes 2nd would be Pakistan Steel Mills with help from Moscow but meh PSM is pratically dead at this point

How many "Mohen-jo-Daro" religion worshippers are there in Pakistan??

0 in 2021 but I could tell you one thing its good to see the ancient past at times

 

[Mujahid Memon]

Yes, I would agree with you. PPP and the Bhutto's have my respect for that. They have always spoken out against religious obscurantism. I noticed PMLN having remained silent but read this -

Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Wednesday lashed out at the government over its action as the Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) activists staged violent protests across the country.
In a statement, Bilawal “strongly condemned” the deadly violence seen in many parts of the country this week after Saad Hussain Rizvi was taken into custody.
“Such kind of torture, abductions, occupation of state and private properties and attacks on police personnel by enraged mobs cannot be allowed,” the PPP leader said, according to a series of tweets by his party.
Demanding that action be taken against the people involved in the violence as per the law, Bilawal said the government could not be permitted to “avoid fulfilling its responsibility”.

In that sense PPP has so much to offer. In fact Bhutto senior was brought down by a nexus of America, Mullahs and Gen Zia.

Makes sense now

 

[GHALIB]

Joke of a government. Like we have resolved poverty, hunger, corruption and several dozen other issues that we are now persecuting people for showing harmless behavior of random people.

Mulk jal raha hai aur hukoomat ko kisi putle ke jazbaat ki fikar hai.

so you don't respect feelings of your minorities o butshikan ?

so you don't respect feelings of your minorities o butshikan ?

Which minority? Christians? Buddhists? Hindus?

ppp and MQM both from sindh were secular parties , later PMLN under nawaz sharif showed some sentiments for minorities .

Well, this is controvesial subject so I will try to restrain myself. But PPP was without doubt secuar and progressive. However it tripped because it tried to roll back the Urdu speakers gouging of Sindh's urban space. The 1947-57 period had effectively encouraged mass migration from India so that a big slice of the new state and the nascent economy could be captured. This was done with amazing efficiency. So much that by 1955 most of Sindh's urban areas had become effectively colonized by migrants.

The inertia of the grab continued under guise of Islam. The Hindu was demonized as often his property was grabbed. When all it was simple loot and grab. In this Islamic utopia the definition of a 'Muslim' was a Urdu speaker and culture of Lucknow was planted in Pakistan. Hatred for the evil Hindu was institutionalized.

However Gen Ayub's take over began the roll back of this grab. Under his government the capital was shifted and Pakhtuns got a chance to grab a slice. The migrants continued to tout Islam as a cover to consolidate and make their grab 'halal'. The migrants were the most secular and socially liberal in their private sphere. So for instance female education was a accepted and aspired. This was not surprising because many came from urban areas of India with higher literacy rates.

However bizzarely this group socially liberal was the biggest supporter of Islam and Islam parties. This contrasts with socially backward Sindhi's or Pakhtuns from whom had risen secular and even socialists movements. PPP is a good example. The migrants supported Jamaat i Islami etc.

It was these religious parties with street power supported by migrants class who were crucial in bringing Ayub Khan's government down. Underlying it was the ethnic politics as their space was being squeezed begining with the capital being shifted closer to the Pakhtun-Punjabi heartlands.

As Bhutto took over he also began squeezing the migrant space by inducting Sindhi's and made Sindhi language official in Sindh. This seems entirely sensible. I am sure each state in India uses it's own language. It would be logical for Tamil to be the official language of Tamil Nadu.

But this caused reaction from the migrant class who now regarded the grab that they had achieved in 1947-1955 as their birthright. They could grab by using the excuse of Islam but nobody dare roll it back or he was a traitor to Pakistan and un-Islamic.

By 1978 these groups had brought Bhutto down. Jamaat Islami again was instrumental. Gen Zia then in a disgusting, cynical ploy hanged Bhutto. There is enough suspicion that America supported this. By pushing out the left leaning PPP the ground now was cleared for right wing groups.

Gen Zia incubated the MQM as a hedge against PPP in Sindh. This was quite easy because the migrants saw a opportunity to secure their grab under MQM. This party as we all know then kept the grab going all the way until recently.

By this stage politics of religion had been injected to the national bloodline. And here we are today. However the basic driver is economics and power. Each group has used Islam as a ploy to grab power. Below all this 70 year drama is just ethnic and regional power grab and fight for resources of the state. All the poor idiots running around are actually just victims.

Today you can see this on a electoral map of Pakistan. We have BAP in Balochistan, PPP in interior Sindh, MQM mutations in Karachi and Hyderabad [urban Sindh], KPK is mostly PTI, upper Punjab is PMLN. PTI has managed to bite outside KPK and thus managed to form a government by building a coalition. This exposes the harsh reality.

I would suggest you read [below] and it will expose everything.

This lanat gesture is more common in SIndh and Balochistan. I live in Karachi. All my life since my childhood I have throwing/sending lanat on everyone and everything including my siblings/cousins/friends/some expensive car, some crappy junky car, electronic item, funny clothes etc etc. Its just part habitual part cultural thing. Nothing more nothing less.

These guys most likely sent lanat out of sheer habit and just for fun. Nothing special.

if anybody does this with islam even in ignorace they are killed for blasphemy , many such cases with pakistani masihis have happened . many masiihis died .

Which minority? Christians? Buddhists? Hindus?

your mullah tell you destroy all statues .

Look at their smug faces cursing their own ancestors, o wait maybe these bunch believe they are arabs or turks

[Mujahid Memon]

Aha I see!

Then it is definitely worthy of a FIR. Sheer ignorance.

Why FIR? They just did it for fun and its pretty harmless behavior.

 

[Mujahid Memon]

PPP was without doubt secuar and progressive

Sindh's urban space

Don't worry. Sindh's rural areas, Punjab, Balochistan, KPK, FATA, Gilgit and Azad Kashmir are still on the list.
