I am a regular visitor of Clifton Block 2 ,
Things such as roads being properly paved and above a water supply system. Making of the park was the last thing to do, however its boundry wall was recently built. Everyone who lives there knew that the land was meant for a public park. But on a regular basis attempts were being to turn it into land mosque. Mosques are money minting machines for those own them. Because outside the mosque small shops open up they are sublet by whosoever owns the mosque.
Besides building a mosque is the best way steal land – because if a mosque demolished, even if it is an illegal construction is turned into issue of religious persecution, which it is not. Mosque owners are brigands themselves. They take money in the form of alms, but it is really meant for them. So owning and running a mosque is big business. Initially the mosque was not properly built Since the land was for having a park over there, the police would evict the people who were trying to convert the park land into a mosque.
But today in the afternoon I saw a large entourage of police over there. I found out that the Sindh Chief Minister Dr Arbab Ghulam Rahim was there and he had set up a plaque that the park is now officially a mosque So now instead of a park for the people Clifton Block 2 will now have a mosque in its place. One can only imagine how much Dr Arbab Ghulam Rahim took in bribes to do something as illegal as this. The chief minister is himself violating all rules and regulations and is allowing the construction of a mosque where there should be a park. It only goes to show can break laws as and when they wish particularly when the right amount of bribes are paid.
In his inaugural speech the the chief minister admitted having tried to build a mosque on a road, but when he was removed from the government, the mosque was demolishd, because a road is not for the mosque. This chief minister is just an example rather the proverbial tip of the iceberg of the massive corruption which exists in this country which is being ruled by a miltary regime.
My reactions and impressions about Pakistan and some other issues which interest me in particular. Many of the things I have written never see the light of day here because of excessive restrictions and outlandish censorship.
