Murder of a Hero

[Areesh]

Before I begin with anything, Let’s start honoring such ordinary humans with extra-ordinary passion to do something impressively good to change the Country.



No doubt, Honourable Mr. Muzaffar Jamali Sahib, has proved that greatest and most patriotic Pakistanis, are found in Baluchistan.



Government of Pakistan, MUST announce the highest Civilian Award of Nishan-e-Pakistan, to the School Principal, Mr. Muzaffar Jamali, whose 10-year-old Son was killed while the Principle and his two daughters Amira and Arifa and a passerby sustained bullet injuries, for singing national anthem in the school, despite a warning.



As reported by a newspaper of Sunday 27 May, 2012, the DCO Kharan, told journalists on Saturday that the Principal had been threatened by the Baloch separatists, for singing national anthem, in his school.



Muzaffar Jamali, a lower-middle class Baloch Intellectual who refused to quit his passion despite of life threats. His famous words during a cultural event in Kharan Public School, Baluchistan "Paying the Price of life for loving a country like Pakistan is just worth it" were as inspiring as Jinnah's speech in Karachi where he said that we have sacrificed a lot to make Pakistan but now we need more sacrifices to preserve its existence and independence. Undoubtedly Muzaffar Jamali’s sacrifice is one such example that Quaid-e-Azam was talking about.



The Question is not who killed Muzaffar Jamali for loving Pakistan, the question is, are we honoring such sacrifices? Today when we see that our Mainstream Media gives coverage to anti-Pakistani separatists mainly Nawabs and Sardars where they spit their venom against the State with their usual distorted version of history and manipulation of facts to brainwash our precious and respected people in Baluchistan, the question is that do we ask such a media to also give coverage to Pakistan loving lower middleclass patriot Balochs who are rarely heard and seen by us? Will people like Hamid Meer write articles on such heroes as well? Will people like Asma Jhangir carryout a protest rally against violent Separatist elements? Will Sana Bucha interview the families of such people and listen to their side of the story? These are the questions that we must ask them. It's true that the Balochs have been unfairly treated by all governments coming in power for last 6 decades where as Media has played an effective role to polarize the Baloch Society by completely ignoring their existence. Let us Honor such unsung heroes now before it's too late Pakistanis. Let us stand along with our Baloch brothers and sisters during these dire situations.



We salute to the Patriotic Pakistanis, who are holding the national flag high in the turbulent province of Baluchistan, notwithstanding extremely real threat to their lives and property. Mr.Muzaffar Hussein Jamali Baloch certainly was one of our current Jinnahs of Pakistan who died while raising the slogans of Pakistan zindabad right after he was drilled with bullets. Let's Honor his sacrifice, let's glorify him as our Hero and let the traitor media know that we Pakistanis wont be kept ignorant about our Heroes anymore. Let's use this Social Media Platform to raise our voices before Muzaffar Jamali's sacrifice goes unnoticed.

Salute to this man.

The author said another thing, that how the media highlights such separatists sitting in London and spewing venom. There should be a ban on channels for airing these guys.

We all know the government won't acknowledge the bravery and sacrifice of such brave people as Mr Muzaffar Hussein Jamali Baloch, but at least the Pakistani people should rise up and acknowledge the brave man's courage and sacrifice, that is if the Pakistani qom has any honor left in them.

A heart felt salute from an Indian.

Well good to see at least someone from media discussing his death. From 20:00 onwards.

Please watch the video and listen how Muzaffar Hussain Jamali died in front of Pakistan's national flag.

Or Sana Bucha or Hamid Mir won't like to comment on this guy. He was just an establishment agent for them.

Or Sana Bucha or Hamid Mir won't like to comment on this guy. Who cares.

If it was a case of some BLA guy killed then everyone would have been all over it.


But when your own media is out to demoralize you and portray your country in such a negative way to the rest of the world, then what do you expect?

But I still have hope. Particularly from his students who are now studying in different universities of Punjab, Sindh and Islamabad. Hopefully they will remember the sacrifice of their great teacher.

All the honors and salute for Mr Principal

Another good article about this unarmed "soldier" of Pakistan.

There was so much to be mesmerized. From the Whispering Galleries of Rotunda to Sam Houston Sculptures in Southern Foyer, the Texas State Capital building was every inch a marvel. The curator at the city congress was a Pakistani American. The floor glistened and all of us, the third world dwellers, had no choice but to envy. Twice he mentioned that Texas was the same size as Balochistan. Years later, once I got to know Meer Saheb, I realised that other than size, Texas and Balochistan shared the title too. Both can be rightfully called `The Lone Star State’ only that the star was Meer Muzaffar Hussain Jamali.

Known as Meer sahib amongst his friends, fans and students, this proud Baloch was born in the village of Chowki Jamali, district of Jafferabad. The family marked their time on the meager income from ancestral lands. Though his father could not afford him a high end life, he left him a high-end ideology as an inheritance. On growing up, he realised that the local nobility would never permit him to pursue higher education. The association with the books, in this part of the world, was the recipe of change, a factor the elites of Balochistan hate more than anything. He made a daring choice and left his village for Kharan.

After he had established himself in Kharan, he formed Pakistan Patriotic Forum. This forum aimed at redirecting the youth, who thought that violence was the only way out. Meer sahib guided them to change the world around them but through education. Throughout his life, he remained a strong critic of an imperial mindset. He was against the feudal system of nawabs and sought a new social contract for his people. He believed that the real autonomy lied not in secession but being able to decide the best for community.

In the world of Ted Ex, Steve Jobs and habits of highly effective people, a real life changer like him was underrated. An avid hard-worker with a missionary spirit of the old man at sea, he would spend endless nights working towards a better Balochistan. His command on 12 languages (almost all the regional and mainstay languages) made him easily accessible. Kharan figures out to be a place where unlike executive NADRA centres, registration for ID cards and getting hospital admissions straightened up requires unflinching determination. People showed up at his school for all and anything, job applications, document attestations, a call to the teacher of a son at distant place, ringing up an official for an employment request and the list of tasks that do not even qualify as trivial in the life of a Pakistani sahib. He would drive the crazy miles and trek the contagious hillocks to reach out to his Balochi brethren, at times taking medicine for them, at times for their sick cattle that were lifeline to these nomads.

Kharan Model Public High School, an island of ideology, stands out as a symbol of human resolve and determination. It started off as a state school and had little to do with schooling, until 1994, when it was taken over by Meer Sahib. His tagline was that change is only possible through education and the future of Kharan and Balochistan lied in an educated youth. In the past few years, when we have conveniently opted for indifference towards the Baloch plight, they have picked other modes of conveying the message.

Barring the cantonments, there are fewer places where the national flag can be seen and Kharan Model Public High School is one of them. The hostility runs so deep that often the local administration advises people to take down the flag to avoid violence – that never occurred to Meer sahib. Kharan Model Public High School is the only school in this district of our largest province, where the national flag is respected and the national anthem played every morning, without fail.

Despite tough times, his talent hunts for promising yet poor students continued. Once selected, he encouraged the students, talked to the parents and attended their educational needs. These students ranged from slum dwellers to street vendors. Today there are more than 3000 doctors, engineers and military officers, inspired, motivated and facilitated by him. These students proudly claim that the only thing that stood between them and their fate was the resolve of Meer sahib.

The activities of Meer Muzaffar Hussain Jamali could not skip the attention of militant groups for too long. In an earlier attempt, militants mobbed the school and threatened him but failed in getting the Pakistani flag lowered. On May17, 2012, Meer sahib was ambushed on his way to school, his car sprayed with bullets. There was no doctor available in the vicinity so he was evacuated to Nokkundi and then to Quetta, where he passed away at the age of 38.

Now that he has gone, the Jamali family complains about the indifference of local administration. Unfortunately, Meer sahib’s entire struggle revolved around strengthening the country, so it is very natural for people like us to sit back and see it shatter. Two weeks into the incident, analysts opine that the case has lost its media mass, the NGOs think it’s not worth it and the cosmetics do not qualify for social networking sites either. Abandoned and vulnerable, his five kids await all those who think that Meer did something for the federation.

Daniel Webster said “every unpunished murder takes away something from the security of every man’s life”, but the murder of Meer Muzaffar Hussain Jamali took something more than that. It took away the dream; and more importantly the right to dream from the children of Kharan.

Today, there is no household in Kharan oblivious to the sacrifices and steadfastness of this fine man. Had he lived, this small town would have been a different place. Beyond the loss of the family and the children of Kharan, is the fear that would inhibit anyone who would aspire to study or to facilitate those who want to study. Deep down, a lone Pakistani mourns the loss of a lone star.
