This metaphor is taken from the words of Matthew Gospel 23:37 and Luke 13:34. Jesus expressed a deep inner desire to gather the people of Jerusalem under his protection, comparing himself to a mother hen gathering her brood under her wings, but some people were not willing.
Now I will talk about our government of Pakistan. The government of Pakistan has designated Army General Field Marshal Asim Munir to lead our nation as a brave leader, in line with our traditions and culture. He has been working to establish peace in the region. Pakistan has had many rulers in the past, but he appears to be more intelligent and sincere than those who ruled during earlier periods. For example, one of our presidents, General Zia‑ul‑Haq, was close to an oil well mouth that was revealed in the desert area of Balochistan, near the border of Iran. This discovery would have ensured that Pakistan would never again need to import oil from other countries, and we would have achieved long‑term security of Khana‑e‑Kaaba. His strong commitment to supporting our Prophet’s nation and the army was clear, and he had no desire for personal gain or bribery. He wanted to raise the living standard of our people by increasing jobs, raising social status, and rapid but stable development in Pakistan. However, because of the political situation, and the pressure from Arab countries, Western allies, and international powers involved in the state over religious and economic matters, he was always under extreme tension for the security of the state. Eventually, he died in a plane crash.
I have a small income and cannot afford much, but I want to buy oil in Pakistan at least. I am also limited by my wages; I buy only low‑quality food, but every day I feel it is wrong to live in this way when I am a citizen of a rich country whose food, fruit, and wheat it grows in its own land. We have an abundance of agricultural land and proper weather that is very favorable and, I can say very plainly, God has blessed our land. This is the reason I am surprised and worried: why does my country import wheat? This is my question. At the same time, I remember my and my family’s protection because in 1971 Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, our Prime Minister, arrested his opponents, put them in jail, and then, one night, he suddenly released all of them. Irani engineers and his Pakistani coworker Pervaiz Roger, crude oil well diggers, invited him to visit the oil well and Parliament and happily announced that Pakistan now will have enough oil but will export also. The result you know was that the oil well mouth shut down and was damaged. Why does our Muslim brother country Iran think that this is its oil? Because if it owes to the east and the land surface is high and Pakistan is lower, then one oil well result lowers the oil yield in Iran. It was the strategy of King Reza Shah Pehlvi to closely watch the southwest part of Pakistan to its eastern borders, that no oil well should be rigged. For that, he spent a lot of money on Pakistan authorities working on this matter, not only to discourage oil digging. Many Western companies are quite interested to get licenses to dig oil in Pakistan because they get, or do not get, oil in Pakistan, they will get a high stipend from Iran; and if a company does work with honesty, their license for digging oil will be cancelled, like Schlumberger, in President W. George Bush’s time.
I believe that Pakistan has a lot of crude oil in its belly. The southern part of Pakistan is all mountainous land, and the eastern border with Upper Sindh, from the top to the ow of oil rivers, horizontally meets the line of Iran’s border at the Strait of Hormuz. But our government does not want to take courage to dig oil wells. Instead, our government always gives the impression that our country is poor and does not have natural resources like petrol, gold, silver, and copper, but really in our soil ow is concealed. I am sure 100 percent that those Irani engineers came not to talk about diplomatic relations but to show our Prime Minister and President the oil well and its mechanism, and how the oil field in Balochistan, Sindh, and the border area between Pakistan and Iran can help our country. Today, we can say that Pakistan’s international and regional position is truly the second‑highest in the world, due to our brave army and its sacrifices. This country is a Muslim country; Pakistan is the only Muslim atomic power country, and Iraqi experts have seen our army in Balochistan and Sindh in training and exercises. They praised our army very highly and said God has given us, in our country, a Muslim and Pakistani army that no one in the world can defeat or target easily.
Personally, in the 1970s, I was visiting my brother. At that time, he was captain of the Army, and he showed himself to me and to his colleagues in the mess room how two hundred Islamic clerics, yelling the slogan “We want Bagem Kamo” and carrying Arabic flags, crossed the border into Iran. They raised the slogan “We want Kashmir, we want Kashmir,” to make such circumstances that the border line that is now under Indian control will be taken by force and handed over to Muslim rule. That is why our politicians should take a clear stand to fight for Kashmir. The people of Kashmir are not interested in India; they are always showing with their behavior and their right for Kashmir, even on their name and national card, and are unable to take them to list them in their caste and kind in the tax. This is a time of great opportunity.
Now my dear readers, this is a time when the Pakistan Army, because they have very high experience, will not allow anyone to draw us into the line as the horn of a donkey’s head. If our authorities do not involve themselves in this game, they will not bring Muslims into trouble by fighting with Muslims in Middle East countries. I have seen both regimes of Iran and Iraq. The development of 96 percent Muslims of Pakistan, these people spread their opinion with their paid social media. Delete it from your internet; always believe and have faith that Holy God has blessed us with the best ruler to defend Pakistan.
