Género e Governação sob o Governo Militar ‘Liberal’

O golpe que foi encenado por Musharraf em 1999 deixou claro que o governo militar nunca pode ser descartado no Paquistão. As elites liberais ficaram aliviadas por não ter outro cruzado moral baseado na fé uniformizado (Zaidi 2015; Zia 2015) e o tema de "moderação esclarecida" de seu governo se tornou a razão de ser para permanecer no comando dos assuntos de estado em vez de convocar eleições e retornar à governança civil.

Uma das mudanças políticas mais importantes que Musharraf fez foi a emenda constitucional que permitiu um aumento substancial em assentos reservados para mulheres em todos os níveis da legislatura. Sob sua liderança, proeminentes ativistas dos direitos das mulheres foram incluídas em seu gabinete e nomeadas para cargos governamentais importantes e influenciaram a política (Zia 2015). Sem dúvida, as mulheres serviram como os principais símbolos da "moderação esclarecida" de Musharraf. Significativamente, não houve nenhum protesto pró-democracia concertado contra seu governo por apoiadores oportunistas em todo o espectro político, incluindo os islâmicos de direita que participaram de seu governo. Embora o lobby e o grupo de pressão do Fórum de Ação das Mulheres que estavam ativos sob o governo de Zia-ul-Haq também se opuseram ao regime de Musharraf, vários membros individuais aproveitaram a oportunidade para participar de processos e programas liderados pelo governo que promoveram as causas das mulheres e tentaram reformar leis discriminatórias. Durante seu governo de uma década, o único desafio concertado antes do Movimento dos Advogados (2007–9) foi o oferecido pelo movimento islâmico radical das mulheres Jamia Hafsa durante a revolta de Lal Masjid em 2007 (Afzal-Khan 2008; Zia 2015).

Apesar do mal-estar da cooptação por um regime militar, essas mulheres-chave nomeadas merecem crédito por alavancar resultados visíveis e progresso para os direitos das mulheres em termos políticos e práticos. Várias comissões foram estabelecidas, políticas de direitos das mulheres foram adotadas e mulheres foram nomeadas em altos níveis estaduais, como governadora do Banco do Estado e nas Forças Armadas. Ainda mais significativo do que os compromissos internacionais, as leis nacionais, como a lei sobre crimes de honra, foram fortalecidas (2004, 2016) e a Lei de Proteção às Mulheres de 2006 efetivamente impediu as Leis discriminatórias de Zina (adultério) de 1979 de uma maneira que nenhum governo anterior havia sido capaz de fazer. Os direitos das mulheres se tornaram parte da narrativa oficial do estado. Os debates parlamentares entre islâmicos e representantes políticos liberais refletiram as contestações nacionais sobre questões femininas na época e são uma leitura rica (Mirza e Wagha 2007; Zia 2015). A noção de governação sensível ao género como meio de atenuar a desigualdade de género, em conformidade com as resoluções da ONU sobre as prioridades de paz e segurança humana, tornou-se parte do suposto compromisso de Musharraf com as políticas de combate ao terrorismo para o Paquistão.

Por outro lado, na província de Khyber Pukhtunkhwa, uma coalizão de partidos religiosos, a Muttahida Majlis Amal (MMA), venceu as eleições de 2002 em um fervor pós-11 de setembro, depois que eles foram autorizados a fazer campanha em troca do reconhecimento da legitimidade de Musharraf como um presidente uniformizado (Zia 2015). Essa coalizão islâmica lançou uma campanha sistemática "anti-obscenidade" para expurgar todos os espaços públicos de imagens femininas, incluindo a remoção de manequins de vitrines e representações em outdoors e outdoors. Abrigos para mulheres foram fechados e participantes de atividades esportivas foram assediadas e atacadas (Brohi 2006). Líderes e ativistas islâmicas foram cúmplices de tais campanhas que incluíam negar às mulheres seu direito de votar nas eleições do governo local.

Havia outras incongruências no regime de "moderação esclarecida", como o tratamento da sobrevivente de estupro/crime de honra, Mukhtaran Mai, cujo caso virou manchete internacional. O general Musharraf alegou que seu caso havia sido exagerado e exemplificou como as mulheres paquistanesas gritam "estupro" toda vez que querem ganhar simpatia internacional e reivindicar direitos de visto/asilo para países como o Canadá. Mais tarde, ele a proibiu de viajar para os EUA para evitar manchar a imagem do Paquistão no exterior (Al Jazeera 2005). Uma mulher rural pobre, Mai passou a lutar por justiça, levando seu caso até a Suprema Corte e se tornou um símbolo global de resistência contra crimes baseados em honra (Mai 2007). Outro caso proeminente foi o de Nilofer Bakhtiar, a ministra do turismo no governo de Musharraf. Em 2007, ela foi forçada a renunciar depois que clérigos aprovaram uma fatwa (édito religioso) contra ela quando jornais publicaram uma fotografia de seu ato "inapropriado" de abraçar o instrutor masculino após uma temporada de paraquedismo na França como parte de uma chamada para a mídia. Ela não foi defendida nem apoiada por seu partido nem pelo presidente do regime de "moderação esclarecida" (Zia 2015).

As contradições inerentes que marcaram a relação entre autoridades religiosas, liderança militar e movimentos progressistas de mulheres continuaram no novo milênio. No entanto, os eventos de 11 de setembro, a Guerra ao Terror que se seguiu e a propaganda resultante sobre a necessidade de resgatar "mulheres muçulmanas oprimidas" abriram dois novos desafios dentro dos discursos feministas. O primeiro foi uma intervenção acadêmica da falecida emigrante paquistanesa, acadêmica radicada nos EUA, Saba Mahmood, que denunciou o resgate feminista colonial da mulher muçulmana como uma justificativa de contra-insurgência (Hirschkind e Mahmood 2002). Esses estudos apelavam ao reconhecimento das aspirações pietistas e não liberais das mulheres muçulmanas e às recompensas da procura da virtude em vez da autonomia, que tem sido um dos principais pilares das plataformas feministas (Mahmood 2005). O segundo foi o esforço concentrado para reformular uma nova práxis em programas de desenvolvimento social para mulheres enfatizando a sensibilidade religiosa em contextos muçulmanos. Os estudos pós-11 de Setembro aprofundaram-se na exploração, no resgate e, em alguns casos, na reinvenção da agência das mulheres muçulmanas veladas, mesmo que isso significasse comprometer o princípio da igualdade (Abu-Lughod 2002; Bano 2012; Jamal 2005; Iqtidar 2011; Mahmood 2005).

Pakistan : Even After 16 Years, Former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto’s Assassination Still Remains An Unsolved Mystery Says A Report

As Pakistan marked the 16th death anniversary of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, the mystery surrounding her assassination remains unsolved, according to a media report.

Bhutto, Pakistan’s first woman prime minister, was assassinated in a suicide bomb blast-cum-gun shooting attack outside the famous Liaquat Bagh as she was about to depart after addressing an election rally on December 27, 2007. She was aged 54. Pakistan was under the rule of military dictator General Pervez Musharraf at that time.

According to a report in Geo News, Bhutto’s party — Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) — remained in power from 2008 till 2013 but was unable to take any meaningful steps to find the people and forces behind her assassination.

“With each passing day, the mystery surrounding the assassination of Benazir Bhutto continued to grow. First with the change of the route of her return after addressing the rally, a hurried washing of the crime scene by the administration, washing away critical evidence, and a shake-up in top local bureaucracy,” the report said.

The administration at that time had declared the incident “a terror strike” and even released intercepts of alleged terrorists’ telephonic conversations and sketches of two persons purported as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) members.

Musharraf had called an investigation team from Scotland Yard of the United Kingdom to investigate the killing of Bhutto. The probe team submitted a report on January 8, 2008. However, both PPP and former president and Bhutto’s husband Asif Ali Zardari rejected the Scotland Yard report, declaring it inept and full of doubts, and accused Musharraf of being behind the assassination.

There were repeated demands for an independent inquiry by the UN into the incident by the PPP government and eventually, Bank Ki-Moon, the then Secretary-General of the United Nations announced in February 2009 for sending a high-level UN Fact Finding Mission to look into the incident.

The UN Fact-Finding Mission arrived in Islamabad in July 2009 and released its report but that was vague and without any conclusive remarks regarding identifying the culprits behind the tragic incident.

The UN Fact-Finding Mission report was rejected by Zardari and the PPP, citing reasons that it contains no substance and no efforts were made by the UN Mission to point out the people and the elements behind the gruesome suicide attack on the two-time prime minister.

“Over the last 16 years, there have been multiple theories behind the elimination of Benazir Bhutto but there is hardly any solid evidence available to corroborate those theories,” the Geo News report said.

“But there were enough events that followed BB’s assassination which strongly indicated that all out efforts were made to hide the facts to confuse things and mislead the investigators who tried to solve the ‘mystery’,” it said.

As Pakistan marked the 16th anniversary of Bhotto’s “violent death the mystery is still unsolved”, the report said.

نواز شریف کی واپسی، ایک بار پھر

تاریخ خود کو دوہرا نہیں رہی، دائرے میں گھوم رہی ہے اور ہر ٹوٹے ہوئے کلاک کی طرح دن میں دو مرتبہ صحیح وقت بتاتی ہے۔ نواز شریف آج سے 16 سال پہلے بھی فوجی حکمران مشرف کو کمزور بھانپتے ہوئے صحافیوں اور حامیوں کی بارات سے جہاز بھر کے اسلام آباد پہنچے تھے۔ جو اُس وقت بچے تھے وہ اس وقت یونیورسٹیوں میں پڑھ رہے ہیں یا یہ سوچ رہے ہیں کہ آدھا لیٹر پیٹرول میں موٹرسائیکل دفتر تک پہنچے گی یا نہیں۔ اس سے بہت پہلے انھوں نے ٹی وی پر قوم سے تاریخی خطاب کیا تھا کہ میں ڈکٹیشن نہیں لوں گا۔ جو اس وقت بچے تھے وہ اب خود بچوں والے ہو گئے ہیں اور اب انھیں یہ بھی یاد نہیں ہو گا کہ نواز شریف کسی سے ڈکٹیشن نہیں لے رہے تھے اور اس کے کتنے گھنٹوں بعد اپنی وزارت عظمیٰ سے فارغ ہو گئے تھے۔ جب میاں صاحب کی بارات تیار ہو رہی تھی تو راقم بھی لندن میں صحافت نما کام کرتا تھا۔ سب کو فون آ رہے تھے کہ آپ میاں صاحب کے ساتھ جہاز میں چلیں گے اور بتا دیں کہ ٹکٹ کہاں بھیجنا ہے۔

میرے ادارے میں ٹکٹ لینے کی اجازت نہیں تھی، ادارے نے کہا تاریخی موقع ہے آپ جائیں۔ میں صرف تماشہ دیکھنے جا رہا تھا، کوریج کے لیے ساتھ ایک مستند رپورٹر بھی تھا۔  میں یہ نہیں کہہ سکتا کہ دیکھنے ہم بھی گئے پر تماشہ نہ ہوا، کیونکہ تماشہ ہوا اور پرزے اڑتے ہوئے بھی اپنی آنکھوں سے دیکھے۔ اور آخری کیفیت یہ ہوئی کہ کوئی یہاں گرا، کوئی وہاں گرا۔ صحافی اسلام آباد کے پرانے باتھ روموں میں بند، کیمرے غائب، میاں صاحب کے ساتھ آنے والے ان کے سنگی ساتھی فرش پر، اور جب میاں صاحب کو ڈنڈا ڈولی کر کے جہاز میں واپس سعودی عرب روانہ کیا گیا تو اس وقوعہ کی کوئی تصویر، کوئی فوٹیج نہیں بنی، اگر بنی تو میری نظروں سے نہیں گزری لیکن منظر اپنی آنکھوں سے دیکھا ہے۔ لندن سے جہاز کے ٹیک آف سے پہلے ہی اسلام آباد میں ماحول گرم تھا۔ 

شاید ملک کی تاریخ میں پہلی دفعہ کسی دوست ملک کے انٹیلیجنس اہلکار نے پریس کانفرنس کر کے وہ معاہدہ لہرایا جس میں نواز شریف 10 سال تک نہ لوٹنے کا وعدہ کر کے گئے تھے۔ میاں صاحب نے ایک نہ مانی اور واپسی کے سفر پر مصر رہے۔ اتنا کیا کہ ایئرپورٹ پر پہنچ کر شہباز شریف کو حکم دیا کہ آپ لندن ہی رہو۔ سب صحافیوں نے سوچا کہ میاں صاحب عقلمند ہیں۔ اگر خود پکڑے جائیں گے تو ان کے لیے آواز اٹھانے کے لیے ایک بھائی تو آزاد ہو گا۔ جہاز میں واقعی کچھ بارات کا سا ماحول تھا۔ نعرے، گانے، جہاز اسلام آباد کے پاس پہنچا تو ایک نوجوان نے رونگٹے کھڑے کر دینے والے لہجے میں نظم گائی کہ سرفروشی کی تمنا اب ہمارے دل میں ہے دیکھنا ہے زور کتنا بازوئے قاتل میں ہے۔ بازوئے قاتل کا مقابلہ کرنے کے لیے میاں صاحب کے پاکستان کی سپریم کورٹ تھی جس سے امید تھی کہ شاید وہ جنرل مشرف کی حکومت کے مقابلے میں ان کا ساتھ دے گی۔ میاں صاحب کا جہاز لینڈ کرنے والا تھا اور سپریم کورٹ نے کوئی ریلیف نہیں دیا۔ میاں صاحب کی آخری لائن آف ڈیفنس دو برطانوی شہری تھے۔ 

لارڈ نذیر احمد کو سب جانتے تھے لیکن ایک دیو ہیکل نوجوان بھی تھا جو کہتا تو اپنے آپ کو ن لیگ کا کارکن تھا لیکن پتا چلا کہ برمنگھم کے کسی کلب میں باؤنسر تھا۔ باؤنسر وہ لوگ ہوتے ہیں جو نشے میں دھت نوجوانوں کو ڈرانے دھمکانے یا کبھی کبھی کلب سے اٹھا کر باہر پھینکنے کے لیے استعمال ہوتے ہیں۔ منصوبہ یہ تھا کہ ان دو برطانوی شہریوں کی موجودگی میں پاکستانی اہلکار میاں صاحب کے ساتھ جو بھی کریں لیکن کم از کم ’گھسن مکا‘ نہیں کریں گے۔ جہاز رن وے پر رکا تو لارڈ نذیر احمد نے کمانڈ سنبھالی، باہر ایک وردی والوں کا دستہ موجود تھا، مطالبہ ہوا کہ ہم جہاز سے اس وقت تک نہیں اتریں گے جب تک یہ وردی والا دستہ نہیں ہٹایا جائے گا۔ حکام نے دوسرا وردی والا دستہ بھیج دیا، اسی دستے کے انچارج نے جہاز میں آ کر میاں صاحب کو سلیوٹ کیا، بڑی عزت کے ساتھ جہاز سے اتار کر لاؤنج میں بٹھایا اور پھر وہاں سے کام ان لوگوں نے سنبھال لیا جنھوں نے کوئی وردی نہیں پہنی ہوئی تھی۔ 

گھنٹوں تک چلنے والی کارروائی بڑے صبر کے ساتھ کی گئی، صحافیوں کو آہستہ آہستہ کونوں میں لے جا کر، سر پاسپورٹ دیں آپ کی امیگریشن ہم کرواتے ہیں، سر پلیز ایک طرف ہو جائیں، کسی سے پیار کی بات، کسی کے کندھے پر ہاتھ، کسی کو دھکا۔ اس پوری کارروائی میں برمنگھم کا باؤنسر سائے کی طرح میاں صاحب کے ساتھ رہا۔ مجھے اس پرانی فلم کا ڈراپ سین یاد ہے کہ میاں صاحب کا باؤنسر زمین پر پڑا تھا، لارڈ نذیر پتا نہیں کہاں تھے، لیکن بغیر وردی والوں کا ایک دستہ میاں صاحب کو لے کر ایک جہاز کی طرف جا رہا تھا جو پہلے ہی رن وے پر انتظار کر رہا تھا۔ ہماری تاریخ دائرے میں چلتی ہے لیکن کچھ کرداروں کو بھول جاتی ہے۔ مجھے پتہ نہیں برمنگھم کا باؤنسر کہاں ہے۔ لارڈ نذیر احمد برطانیہ کی جیل میں ہیں۔ نواز شریف نے پھر رخت سفر باندھا ہے۔۔۔ دیکھنا یہ ہے کہ وہ ڈکٹیشن دینے جا رہے ہیں یا لینے۔ یا بازوئے قاتل سے زور آزمائی کرنے۔

[zourringhard]

ur celebrating operation sindhoor that killed more kids and innocent women than the supposed terrorists yall claim were killed. India literally attacked innocent civilian and civilian infrastructure in the middle of the night with zero proof. Cowardly ass nation.

You are calling us “cowardly” nation? let’s be honest and get the facts straight.

India has faced decades of cross-border terrorism, not because it sought war or conflict, but because it has been systematically provoked. Since independence, India has refrained from initiating wars or unprovoked attacks. Have you ever heard of india attacking any other nation first because to gain power? that's not us!! we have been the one of restraint and peace since centuries. But when our soldiers are killed, our civilians attacked, and our sovereignty threatened, we will not sit quietly. India has every right legally, morally, and constitutionally to defend its people. And I didn't hear you coming here and sympathising is us and raise your voice against terrorism? when terrorist attacked pahalgam, killed 26 inocent indian citizens infront of their family? infront of their wives, mothers and children???? where were you? or wasn't that a terrorist attack at all in your pov?

And about attacking without any proof, the sites india attacked are some of the terrorist camps. If you think pakistan is not associated with terrorists at all then a simple google search will tell you where terrorist groups like:

Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) – Based in Bahawalpur, Pakistan

Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) – Based in Muridke, Pakistan

Al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) – Operating from Pakistan’s tribal areas

Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) – Found safe havens in various parts of Pakistan

These are not baseless claims, they are well documented by international security agencies, and even acknowledged by Pakistan's own leadership. In fact, Pakistan’s former President Pervez Musharraf (https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thehindu.com/news/international/south-asia/Pakistan-supported-trained-terror-groups-like-Lashkar-e-Taiba-Pervez-Musharraf/article60516617.ece/amp/) and Pakistan’s Defence Minister, Khawaja Muhammad Asif has admitted recently to supporting such groups for geopolitical leverage, openly saying they "did the West’s dirty work."

So before criticizing India for striking back, ask this:

Why are these groups allowed to operate?

Why has Pakistan not taken decisive action to dismantle these networks?

Why do deadly attacks like Mumbai 2008, Uri 2016, and Pulwama 2019 keep tracing back to Pakistan?

India does not want war. I CERTAINLY DON'T. Most Indians stand for peace. We have seen what happened in Palestine, innocent people were murdered cold blooded on the name of war. So yes I don't want war and certainly I'm not in support of war. BUT when provoked, India has the right to act. Period. We are not going to sit here watch them kill innocent life's in our land. THAT'S WHAT OPERATION SINDOOR WAS ABOUT. killing and destroying TERRORIST CAMPS INSIDE POK AND PAKISTAN WHO HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY SENDING TERRORIST CROSS BORDER TO INDIA since decades. we don't strike any military camps either. it was done to destroy terrorist camps.

And regarding civilian casualties, India does not target civilians either. And do you know what pakistan is retaliating for that? by attacking inocent civilians and gurudwaras. but you haven't said anything about that either. or wasn't that terrifying enough for you??

And if innocents die, the responsibility lies with the Pakistan government, not India. For decades, Pakistan has failed its own people. Instead of investing in schools, hospitals, and civil infrastructure, it has spent billions on supporting proxy wars, extremist groups, and weapons. It is not India’s fault that Pakistan’s leaders prioritized terror over their own citizens’ welfare.

So if you’re truly concerned about civilian lives, ask why Pakistan keeps harboring those who invite destruction and then blames others for the consequences.

I would recommend anyone interested in educating themselves about Pakistan and it's terror network to read this thread by an Afghan (pasted below as well):

---

My "becauses" to your "whys".

Why it matters to support India.

In September 1996, President Mohammad Najibullah was brutally executed in Kabul. The prevailing narrative attributes this act to Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), with the Taliban as the executors.

From 1992 to 1996, the Islamic Government of Afghanistan, led by President Burhanuddin Rabbani, accused Pakistan of sponsoring Gulbuddin Hekmatyar and later the Taliban to violently overthrow the Afghan government. The ISI was named the orchestrator of this brutal war, driven by Pakistan’s pursuit of “strategic depth.” Reports assert that the ISI supplied 10,000 missiles to target Kabul during this period.

In 1997, a scorched-earth policy devastated the Shamali Plains. The destruction was attributed to a trio coalition of Al-Qaeda, the ISI, and the Taliban. Numerous interviews with national hero Ahmad Shah Massoud, available online, corroborate these assertions.

From 1998 to 2001, Pakistan’s Special Services Group (SSG) deployed units to Kunduz to support the besieged Taliban. Following the 9/11 attacks in 2001, these units were airlifted out in what became known as the “evil flights,” enabled by a secret agreement between Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf and U.S. President George W. Bush.

On September 9, 2001, Ahmad Shah Massoud was assassinated by two Al-Qaeda operatives whose passports recorded twelve trips to Pakistan. General Musharraf warned British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Scotland Yard that pursuing the investigation would jeopardize Pakistan’s role in the anti-terror coalition. The investigation was halted, and the official narrative holds the ISI, Al-Qaeda, and the Taliban responsible for the death of our leader Shaheed Ahmad Shah Massoud.

From 2004 onward, Pakistan’s military provided financial, military, and logistical support to the Taliban, enabling them to regroup and wage a bloody terror campaign against the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. The ISI was repeatedly condemned by Afghan leaders, including Presidents Hamid Karzai, Dr. Abdullah Abdullah, and Ashraf Ghani, as well as international figures. The U.S. designated the Haqqani network as a “veritable arm” of the ISI.

In 2008, the Indian Embassy in Kabul was bombed. In 2023, the bombers’ families publicly revealed their ties to the Taliban and disclosed the terrorists’ identities online while seeking recognition and financial support from the Taliban system.

On September 20, 2011, Professor Burhanuddin Rabbani, head of the High Peace Council, was assassinated by a Taliban operative using a sophisticated bomb concealed in a turban. The operative had traveled from Pakistan, and the ISI was accused of supplying the device.

On May 31, 2017, the German Embassy in Kabul, located on a crowded street, was bombed by the Haqqani network, killing or injuring over 700 Afghans. The Haqqani network, a close ally of the ISI, was based in Peshawar and Miram Shah.

Pakistan facilitated the Taliban’s diplomatic outreach to legitimize their cause. When Kabul fell in August 2021, ISI chief General Faiz Hameed visited to assist the Taliban in forming a cabinet, famously photographed holding a teacup - celebrating the humiliation of Afghans. Pakistani leaders particularly the relgio-terrorists celebrated the fall of the Afghan Republic as a religious victory, rubbing salt on the wounds of millions of Afghans.

Emboldened by their success in Afghanistan, the ISI and its proxies launched the Pahalgam attack in Kashmir, India, on April 22, 2025, killing 26 cilivilan Indian citizens. in a brutal assault claimed by The Resistance Front (TRF), a Lashkar-e-Taiba offshoot - our common enemy. In response, India, the world’s fifth-largest economy, launched Operation Sindoor to dismantle the ISI’s terror networks.

Why should we not thank India for confronting our common enemy? Why act with cowardice? Some assert that this type of statement conflicts with the interests of our bloc, constituency, or ethnic group.

But let’s not forget Pakistan’s official stance: without the Taliban and the complete removal of ethnic diversity, particularly the Tajiks, from power in Kabul, Rawalpindi would continue to support the Taliban. This policy is recent and well-documented.

We, the good Afghans, couldn’t dismantle the ISI’s terror networks ourselves, though I wish we had. India has now taken bold action. The least we can do is offer moral and political support for India’s large-scale counter-terrorism efforts targeting the culprits behind our leaders’ assassinations.

We live in a multipolar world. The outcome of this conflict will shape South Asia’s strategic landscape. Let’s have the courage to call a spade a spade. And remember: chess was invented in India. They know the game.

----

Pakistan committed genocide in Bangladesh (then East Pakistan) and murdered 3million people. Oh, and this is not the "genocide" in the sense uneducated people like to throw about when referring to Kashmir's administration by India. It was actual genocide classified such by academics due to its target being exterminating young hindu men and systematically raping hindu women.

Pakistan propped up the Taliban and funded terror in Afghanistan. It rejoiced the Afghan's people misery after their fall to Taliban on religious basis.

Pakistan committed countless terror attacks against India, targeting Hindus.

It is not about religion to us, but it is to them. We are 'infidels' and their sole aim to terrorize other peoples.

If you support Pakistan, you are not pro-muslim. You are pro-terror.

He lives with his well-meaning mom Franny who just wants him to be "cool" and fit in, entrepreneur dad Gary who is very laid back, and his newly popular younger sister Claire, who tries to raise her popularity in school. When the school guidance counselor, Mr. Matthews convinces the family to take in an international student, they accept him with the expectation that he will be a good-looking European or Latin American student that will make Justin popular. Although initially dismayed when Raja Musharraf, a 16-year-old Muslim boy from Pakistan turns up instead, they soon warm up to him and although their cultures are different, Justin and Raja form an unlikely friendship that might allow them to get past the social nightmare of high school.

Veronica Mars: As the daughter of well-respected County Sheriff Keith Mars, Veronica's biggest life problem was getting dumped by her boyfriend, Duncan Kane, until the murder of her best friend, Lilly Kane. After Lilly's murder, Veronica's life falls apart. Keith mistakenly accused Lilly's father, popular software billionaire Jake Kane, of involvement. When Mr. Kane is proven to be innocent, he has Keith ousted as sheriff in a recall election, who the corrupt Don Lamb then replaces. Veronica's mother, Lianne, develops a drinking problem and leaves town, never to return. Veronica's "09er" friends—wealthy students from the fictional 90909 ZIP Code—demand that she choose between them and her father; Veronica chooses her father. After losing the election for sheriff and ostracized by the entire community, Keith opens a private investigation agency, Mars Investigations, where Veronica works part-time. Veronica helps her father solve cases and conducts her investigations on behalf of schoolmates.
