Move towards peace and justice. On behalf of Prisoner No. 804, I promise there will be no revenge; he will forgive, and a solution will arrive. A statement by the ex-President
Karachi: Taking off his speech notes, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) central leader and Ex-President Dr Arif Alvi has noted that there is still time to abandon destructive stubbornness and hatred and move towards peace and justice.
In a recent statement, he affirmed that Shireen Mazari is genuine; he became convinced of this fact when she personally told him during a conversation. Reflecting upon who might have been behind these acts is profoundly saddening and shameful. Are they those who stand against terrorists? Or are they the custodians of our boundaries? Alternatively, they claim to know the Constitution. Is The Constitution ignorant about their constitution? Alternatively, it could be those who have yet to listen to Quaid’s words in Quetta’s garrison.
Moreover, the former President of Pakistan asked himself whom he should condemn. He mentioned that the institution defended his nation, but leadership was misguided. He explained that misguidance takes three forms: deliberately choosing the wrong path, becoming lost or disoriented, and experiencing problems but being too proud to correct course. Nevertheless, there is room for forsaking ruinous stubbornness and hostility and embracing peaceful coexistence. To ensure this, I guarantee on behalf of Prisoner No. 804 that we will not seek vengeance; instead, we will prioritize forgiveness, paving the way for resolution.
Meanwhile, Dr Arif Alvi had some harsh words for those thinking that vote-stealing or rigging, brutality, arrest, or murder can enable them to control Pakistanis. Saying this with deep regret, he noted that such individuals were held captive by a fatal illusion; their reign would soon be over. It is either their hands will crush them, or they will flee to the places where they stole from. This is a grave warning to those who believe that Pakistanis do not have any fight left in them.
The former President’s statement calls for introspection and appeals to reinstate sanity and fairness in the system. It expresses deep concern about the direction of leadership, referencing divisive and destructive policies. Alvi’s message resonates with cries for unity and putting the nation’s welfare ahead of personal or political gains.
Moreover, Alvi’s message points out the urgent need for reconciliation, primarily through constructive dialogue. According to him, there is a need for constitutional compliance among leaders. Those who interpret or reflect our founder’s vision and the outlined principles upon which the Pakistani state was founded are essential. The mention of Quetta Garrison reminds us of what should guide leadership in this country. As Jinnah expressed during his speech there.
The above statement by former President Arif Alvi of Pakistan is compelling and appealing for peace, justice, and forgiveness. It reminds the nation that true strength lies in reconciliation, the pursuit of justice, and unity in the future. It also underscores his plea to abandon destructive ways in favor of a future characterized by peace and justice. Anyone with positions or authority in power circles aptly timed these words. They referred to moving away from bad choices towards a peaceful society.
