Islamabad blast
I was at my work place in F-8/2 when we heard the blast and then phones started ringing. First we were told there is a blast near Zafar Chowk (E-8). Second information was more worrying for me that blast site is around Zardari house in F-8/2 which is just next to OPF School. On hearing that I rushed out to pick my kids. I was praying on my way that all this may turn out to be a rumor but Police, Fire Brigade and Ambulances on my way were proving all my hopes to be false.
Few minutes ride took ages, all the blast scences I have ever seen on tv screen flashed in front of my eyes. I was trying to concentrate on driving and was trying to recite some Quranic verses but….lost my focus. Until I reached there to find out the blast took place at World Food Program office in F-8/3, Islamabad.
I am shocked, moved and angry!!! Everyday when I go into that street with security check posts, hurdles and bunkers to drop my daughter I wish all these “Very Important People” should move out of the residential areas. Why can’t they build a “fort” somewhere for all the diplomats and politicians. Half of our(Islamabad) streets and roads are blocked for security, not our security, Of course!
I wish all the residents of Islamabad should come together and make it a point that they will not rent their houses to foreigners, embassies and UN offices. This is the least we can do for the security of our kids. Think of the people living in the neighbourhood of the blast site. What is their fault? Why did they have to pass thought this trauma?
Mr President! you have a house in the Presidency why can’t you evacuate this F8 House? Please build a palace anywhere away from common people’s living areas. Think of the thousands of children in the neighbourhood. A plea from a concerned a mother.
i wonder what are these people upto? i saw the cctv footage on tv….wasting lives for what??damn this kind of politics …..Alhamdolillah kids were ok…i can imagine your emotions and prayers are all that i have for you and your family and all the other innocent people ……….
while I share your outrage, I find it amazing that you think the only problem is VIP houses in the area…how about a few choice curses for the terrorists who do this?
Well Mr. Desi Cheetha… I really appreciate your views but dont you think that these extremists and terrorists are the fruit of delayed or injustice, inequality, discrimination, biased ness of our society and degradation of all other islamic and social values. In my opinion all this has been done mostly by these plunderers living in posh and powerful houses of our beautiful country. Why can’t we focus on getting rid of these cruel and corrupt politicians, bureaucrats, traders and civil servants. They are always looking for their own interests. They all are grooming and guiding their unadult and distorted kids and bringing them infront of nation especially our political leadership, who try to get support in the name of their late leaders who are even similar like these. I would like to end this note that :”Hur bar is quom ko aik naye kafan choor ki aulad say pala parta hai.” I believe that you must have heard the story of kafan choor. May Almighty Allah bring peace, harmony, prosperity and top of all real Islamic values and justice in our mother land and to save us from unrest, corruption and cruelities…. Ameen
it is easy to indulge in the luxury of berating and castigating people for what has already happened, when you have all your loved ones safe – but please spare a thought for the five who lost their life’s and for their families, they were and are people just like all of you.
* abid rehman (41) has a wife, 2 daughters and 2 sons.
* muhammad wahab (44) has a wife 2 daughters & a son
* botan (41) an iraqi has a wife 2 sons & a daughter
* farzana (22) was an orphan child, her parents are dead, she has a brother.
* gul rukh tahir (41) was my wife.
all five were living, breathing, loving, caring human beings, cut short so brutally in the prime of their life.
the question now should NOT be why as that is like flogging a dead horse, the question now should be HOW to change this situation and stop this insanity?
please pray
I am so sorry to hear that. I know losing a loved one is unbearable……. May Allah give you the courage to pass through this imtihaan with emaan and sabr. You are right is saying that after such unfortunate accidents we thank Allah for giving us another chance to mend our ways BUT we should remember those who lost their lives. And pray for them.
I am extremely moved and sad on the lose of all the precious lives in this blast and events that followed.
I wish we all can do something to stop this insanity.
Least we can do in unite in grief and prayer.
Thank you for reminding!!!
Ya! everyday moving through all the hurdles and checks we feel disturbed they remind on every step that stop living you are going to die sooner are later. Only we common people are the victims not those VIPs are.
Solutions to stop these teerorist attacks come out of many anchor persons on TV programs and these dirty politicians and vips only fight over the issues like NRO and what else rubbish they make themselves.
their debates and arguments are useless till we are out of all this danger. And very truly day by day these VIPs look more hateful after listening the blast stories.
It looks as if they ll make us all the terrorists one day.
God help our people and give them courage to fight terrorists and such dirt People who are source of it.
december 05, marks the 2 months of the wfp bombing, i plan a short meeting on site at 12 noon.
* 1 min silence
* prayer
* ribbon tying and candle lighting
please join us to remember our loved ones.
network and speak, for silence is no longer an option.
