Extremism is an attitude and repeated action being taken by a person or a group of persons in their own interest without weighting its reality or genuineness. It’s also called one sided action against a man, an idea or a concept through a word, a talk or a weapon.
When such extremism is perpetrated against the person, the extremist prepares a group of his thinking and aptitude and he repeatedly use them for his extremist action and satisfy himself by drawing the inner emotions from them and feels his satisfaction. He thus becomes habitual of doing so without considering its adverse results or consequences on his part or the society , system and way of life being passed in the country. The example of such media extremism can be quoted of the kind of attitude, Dr Shahid Masood Saheb has made a group of his own ideas belonging to Advocates, Retired Judges , Journalists and old but consumed Politicians. Dr.Shahid Saheb repeatedly brings some of them in his program and seeks their comments on similar topics related to the fate of an elected President of Pakistan, Mr.Asif Ali zardari whose Party got majority seats in the general elections and formed the Government in the country in view of the spirit of national reconciliation agreed by all the stake holders at the helm of affairs and the leaders in exile or present in the country. The topic of his discussions always remains the same as to how the elected president should be thrown out of the power and brought to books in view of the so-called allegations of corruption registered against him by the party in power which also remained the part of national reconciliation. Now the question arises about the validity of such reconciliation which brought the present system of Government through the general elections and the end of the Dictatorial rule which caused many national turmoils including judiciary crisis in the country arresting and displacing all the Judges and the chief justice of the Supreme Court who did not come in his grips being un-constitutional and illegal. However, under the elected governorship in the country was put in right track which remained derailed in the dictatorial regime. The anchor does not see the importance and need of such reconciliation and stress to get the system again derailed through some unconstitutional methods so that his part as extremist should bring again constitutional crises and the country’s affairs may again come in the hands of unconstitutional and illegal groups who should run the affairs of the country without any constitution and put the whole system of governorship of the country in danger of destabilization and uncertain conditions. Now, another question arises as to why Dr.Saheb has become hardliner and staunch opponent of the national reconciliation and on whose support he has started his campaign and also which hands are behind him to continue his extremism. Is he playing into others hands and minds or is he doing this on behalf of the enemies of the country who do not want to see Pakistan as sovereign and stable in governing all the affairs of the country smoothly for the benefits of the poor peoples of Pakistan. So the sanity prevails in the balance and tranquility of our actions and affairs being the civilized and law-abiding citizens of the country. We should respect and regard the national reconciliation and do our jobs where we are engaged and employed being the well-wishers of our national and our beloved country Pakistan and try to allow the system for the tenure and wait for the next due elections for any change of the government for which people are the best source of any change otherwise this crippled nation and poor people of Pakistan will achieve nothing but bad fates and fortunes of Political turmoil and economic mishaps which are tolerated by the nation of Pakistan from the very independence of the country. If we need stable Pakistan , we want economic stability and sustainable development. we should not be emotional and bad players. It becomes therefore our foremost and urgent national duty to be sane and do not play into the hands of our enemies. God protect us from extremism. Ameen.
