This statement would shock any person with a sane mind
“” Khalid said that Pakistani state had almost gone bankrupt but said they would still prefer to be part of it.”"”
If I say that I want my children to go to the worst school in the city, I will be seen as a very bad parent. If I say that I would admit my sick wife to the cheapest and worst maintained hospital, I would be seen as a careless and selfish husband. If I feed the worst possible food to my guest, I will be seen as a bad person and bad host.
But Mr. Khalid wants to be called a patriot by chosing the worst and bankrupt country for his future generations….how does that make sense.
If I love my family, my tribe and my region, then I would never want them to be part of a bankrupt and socially cancerous country. May be time has come that we re-evaluate definition of patriotism.
Subjecting someone to a bad country, bad society, bad food, bad clothing, bad shelter, bad school and bad hospital should never be seen as a positive attribute and patriotism. It should be the way around: taking someone out of a mess, like rescuing from a house on fire or a bad situation should be seen as an act of loyalty, sincerity and faithfulness.
If we want to shed colonial mentality and mind of a slave, then we need to get rid of this legacy of the colonial powers which is called Pakistan.
Besides Gilgit Baltistan is not a constitutional part of Pakistan and UNO has asked Pakistan to withdraw from GB. So the issue of patriotism does not apply to residents of GB. It only applies to the citizens of Pakistan.
