Asma Shirazi's Column: Who, Why, How, Where?

 Asma Shirazi's Column: Who, Why, How, Where?

What is in sight and what is in view, what is in reflection and what is in image, illusion becomes reality and reality becomes illusion. Or God, what is this story?Every day the news changes, every day the newspaper changes, the headline changes, the writing changes. Two decades have passed while living in the world of news, sometimes the heart was disturbed by some news, sometimes the heart became restless and sometimes anxious, but now the heart is constantly disappointed.Although there is a million differences with Arshad Sharif, but the news of his murder has further disturbed the journalists who were already at the point of the gun, or in other word this time, the murder of a journalist has made even surprise even more surprising. Why did Arshad Sharif go to Nairobi? Death has taken, but what to name this death? Death chased Arshad and reached Dubai and then Kenya, but why didn't he hear the cry of death? Ajal was changing the name and the border was changing, but life could not know it? Questions are questions. who Why? How and then where? Nairobi's General Service Unit or Police made a mistake and admitted it. End of conversation? The police opened fire, only one bullet hit the tire but Arshad Sharif's head was cut off? Who will investigate thousands of kilometers away and who will be asked?

Where the killers of SNairobi's General Service Unit or Police made a mistake and admitted it. End of conversation? The police opened fire, only one bullet hit the tire but Arshad Sharif's head was cut off? Who will investigate thousands of kilometers away and who will be asked? Where the killers of so many journalists could not be caught, who would be confused with the Kenyan police officers?o many journalists could not be caught, who would be confused with the Kenyan police officers? What are the motives behind the murder of Arshad Sharif, what are the reasons, all of them must be investigated, but will it happen? Commission on commission and no result! Salim Shehzad Commission, Hamid Mir Commission, Absar Alam and Asad attack inquiry committees, judicial inquiries and who knows what, are excuses for entertainment but certainly not ways to fulfill the demands of justice.At the crossroads where the country stands, divided media, divided judiciary, divided administration, legislature and even divided powerful elites have reached the point that there is no room for further division, but along with it, the process of evolution that is born after the division. Takes no sign of its beginning. An important meeting of the Army Chief was held in the National Defense University in recent days, where many revelations were made, there was also a hope that this process of partition has to be stopped. The news of constitution, democracy, enlightenment and economic prosperity was given, but more than three times the deterioration of the situation and the threat of martial law in the event that the government and the opposition did not sit together repeatedly gave a sense of power and bullying. In such a situation, the realization of the events and mistakes of the last four years did not make the important announcement of the departure of General Qamar Bajwa any less important.
