In love with soil – Express Urdu

Irrespective of the region, the people of every region have attachment, love, love for their soil, the main reason of which is the land of their birth where they are raised and educated.

Childhood, boyhood, youth, middle age, old age, sorrows are associated with this land and eventually everything is buried under the soil. This relationship is called the lap of the earth. There will be thousands, including me, who will be attached to Lyari like their mother and will strive for her betterment.

When he regained consciousness in Lyari, he found sobbing poverty around him, saw the ray of hope shining in sad eyes that had learned to smile even in distress. As soon as he regained consciousness, he started writing about the basic, social and social problems of Lyari in various newspapers and magazines so that the authorities could take steps to solve them.

At the same time, he entered the world of practical journalism, was a reporter, staff reporter, news editor, editor in various newspapers and magazines and also kept writing columns. This series of commitment to journalism is still ongoing. As a journalist and columnist, I have seen many different political scenes of Lyari, also seen the changing political and social situation which I am writing.

Lyari has suffered a lot. Be it martial law or democracy, Lyari has been treated like a stepmother in every regime.

Rudad of the old era used to listen to his elders who were not proud, but during the martial law period of General Zia, he came to his senses, so the democratizing measures were welcomed. Even today, it is well remembered that the Sardarullah Bakhsh Gabol Park in Kalakot, Lyari, where footballers used to play matches and children used to swing, was turned into a camp, where curfew violators were met with minor punishments. If someone was turned into a chicken, someone would be made to run around the park, however, the curfew was relaxed for local residents. There was a shop of Allah Bakhsh aka Alloki movie movies in our neighborhood Sheruk Lane, Kalakot, which was used for weddings. Used to run movies on rent.

Arrests and punishments of democrats were common throughout Lyari. Ayaz Sumo, a democrat resident of Aut Chowk, whose political affiliation was with the PPP, was also hanged for a crime he did not commit. The people of Lyari were flogged and endured teargas shells but did not give up Jai Bhutto’s slogan.

On the other hand, hooliganism, drug peddling and Kalashnikov culture flourished in Lyari and Lyari became a bad breeding ground for the suffering of basic problems. The supply of drinking water was stopped in Lyari, the tap water came from the taps, people bored their houses to survive and then there came a time when the ground water also dried up, the mothers and sisters of Lyari She used to go to remote areas till midnight in search of

The streets and roads of Lyari used to be filled with dirty water, which gave the appearance of a pond, due to which the worshipers could not go to the mosque, the dirty water would enter people’s houses. But the grass had grown, which had become swamps and the children used to play on them and some children drowned in them and went to death.

Lyari’s roads or streets used to be a pattern of ruins. The installation of street lights was stopped, the whole of Lyari was darkened, due to which incidents of theft became common, epidemics broke out due to pollution.

There was an undeclared ban on government jobs for the youth. The ignorant youths were involved in drug dealing while the brave youths were doing hard labor. She used to violate the sanctity of the cloak and the wall by installing stairs and asked for bribes in the name of release. The local people of Lyari who were called dignitaries of the area also played a role in this brokering.

Victims of this injustice, many young people rebelled against the society and went into the world of crime. This was the era of General Zia-ul-Haq who was determined to end the PPP but could not succeed.

After that, various rulers came to power, including Muhammad Khan Junejo, Mian Nawaz Sharif, Ms. Benazir Bhutto, Moin Qureshi, Pervez Musharraf, Shaukat Aziz, Yusuf Raza Gilani, Khaqan Abbasi, Pervez Ashraf, Imran Ahmed Khan Niazi. Apart from this, caretaker governments have also been coming and going.

In the recent period, Kakar and Shehbaz Sharif and now Shahbaz Sharif are in government, while at the provincial level there has been a PPP government for the past fifteen years and now the PPP government is ruling in Sindh, but Lyari has had problems in every period. Trapped in the vortex. Fifteen years of unrest was a nightmare for the people of Lyari, dubbed the Lyari Gang War, in which the conspiracy plan of the operation tells a different story.

What atrocities were committed on Lyari should be mentioned which would have to write books to describe. People of Lyari have become kandan now they have learned to live in hardships and know their friends and foes, now the days of fooling the people of Lyari are numbered, Lyari has tried all political parties including PPP, Muslim League, Jamaat-e-Islami, Tehreek-e-Labaik Pakistan and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf are included.

At present, the complete political reins of Lyari are in the hands of PPP where representatives of 11 Union Councils out of 12 Union Councils of Lyari and the Chairman and MNA and MPA of Lyari Town belong to PPP.

On the other hand, there are long-standing fundamental and economic problems. It is to be seen how the political leadership of Lyari and the Sindh government will deal with them. It is hoped that the mistakes of the past will not be repeated and justice will be done seriously to Lyari, the wounds will be healed, the people will be able to be counted among other developed areas of Karachi city. .
