Intelligence agencies are established to
strengthen and safeguard the boundaries of a country against the hostile
forces. The working of intelligence agencies has always been one of the most
favourite topics for the political analysts throughout the world but usually
the writers and analysts avoid direct commenting on the working and
organizational set up of the intelligence agencies of their own country and
whenever this discussion is unavoidable, they try to portray a positive
picture. Astonishingly, at the desire of the western policy-makers and their
benefactors in India, some unseen type of the forces in Pakistan have been
trying their best to defame and disrepute the security forces of Pakistan for
the last two decades. Thank God Almighty that these unseen forces never
succeeded in their malicious desires but the game is still on. Recently a very
popular and a very competent Pakistani journalist Hamid Mir was brutally
attacked in Karachi and just after the cowardly killing attempt on him, the
same unseen forces at once became over-active and started trying to drag the
ISI into the matter.
The perpetrators of the Hamid Mir
episode were never aware of the fact that this shooting episode would simply
turn into a referendum in favour of the Pakistan army and the ISI. They were
dreaming of defaming and slandering these institutions of Pakistan but their
dreams shattered the way the cookies crumble. It seems that the plan of
dragging the army and the ISI in a dirty game was prepared in a hurry and no
proper paper-work was done before beginning the action. Throughout Pakistan,
all political and religious parties, the student unions, the teachers, the
traders, in short people from every walk of life, expressed their strong
protest and severe resentment against this blame game. Even different media
groups got united and joined the people of Pakistan in this protest against the
accused channel. We all must be thankful to that channel for providing the
whole nation with an opportunity of expressing unity and solidarity.
The nation is grieved at the sorry
fate of the senior journalist Mr. Hamid Mir. This brave man is still in serious
condition and no doubt needs a lot of sincere prayers from his people. The fact
of the matter is that this brilliant journalist did not deserve the destiny he
had been pushed into. And more painful is the attempt of dragging the security
institutions of Pakistan into this dirty game. Throughout the world the
intelligence agencies are given some ‘poetic licenses’. Just cast a look at the
working of the CIA, the MI6, the RAW, MOSSAAD and the KHAD; all these
intelligence agencies are given special privileges, permissions and special
authorities. The officers of these intelligence agencies are usually never
dragged in the courts. Their plans and programs are never discussed or
criticized publicly but in Pakistan the situation seems quite different. Here,
the intelligence agencies have been made so public that even a man in the
street is allowed to blame and criticize not only their actions but also the
high-ups of these agencies. As far as the role of media is concerned there are
a few media groups and some so-called human rights activists whose sole aim is
to defame these agencies. The situation needs a very careful law-making to
safeguard the sanctity, honour, prestige and esteem of the intelligence
agencies and other security forces in Pakistan.
