Pakisan is the only one country in the world in which judges wants justice



Khizr Khan Mohmand


In the midst of my journey from Scotland to London for some Work, a friend's call interrupted, inquiring about my well-being. After exchanging pleasantries, he mentioned the arrival of an urgent letter from Me. I teased about the letter possibly containing significant matters, but my friend, not wanting to spoil my London trip, diverted the conversation into lighter topics, causing the letter to slip my mind.

A week passed in London, with every night spent pondering over the contents of the letter. Upon returning to Scotland, I rushed towards the letter, already anticipating some form of apology for disrupting my sleep in London. However, upon opening it, to my surprise, atop the page was written "Traffic Police, Scotland." 

I appeared before the court early the next morning, seeking forgiveness for violating traffic laws. The judge, acknowledging my remorse, fined me £100 andI returned home, making a vow to be more cautious because this wasn't Pakistan, it was Britain. Here, the secret to progress is system 

Days turned into weeks, and today, we received a letter from our judges which, if given the title, would be quite fitting:

"Pakistan is the only country in the world in which judges seek justice."

News from BBC:

It's evident that on March 25th, six judges of the Islamabad High Court wrote to the Supreme Judicial Council, highlighting direct interference by intelligence agencies, including ISI, and other agencies in judicial affairs, along with allegations of harassment against judges.

Former Attorney General Justice (Retired) Maulvi Anwarul Haq informed BBC that the letter from Islamabad High Court judges is a serious matter, and now the Chief Justice of Pakistan has formed a committee to investigate these issues thoroughly.

So, here's the question posed to all Pakistanis, following the news that may soon be published by BBC:

In a country where judges themselves don't find justice, what recourse do ordinary citizens have?

Stranded Souls, Silent Skies

 Stranded Souls, Silent Skies By Khizar Hayat Khan A group of families — children clutching their mothers’ hands, men waving helplessly — stand marooned on a shrinking island of rocks. Behind them, a lone tree bends in surrender. Around them, the Swat River roars — not as a source of life, but a sentence of death. Above them? Silence. No helicopters. No boats. No state. This image is not from a warzone, but from a part of Pakistan that sings in tourism ads and development speeches. Swat, the so-called Switzerland of the East, is now witnessing another tragedy — not just of nature, but of neglect. This photo captures more than a moment; it exposes a pattern. Every year, when rains swell the rivers, the same stories surface: people trapped, children lost, families wiped out. And yet, every year, our response system arrives too late — if it arrives at all. The photo asks a haunting question: Where is the state? We know helicopters exist. We see them often — drying cricket grounds, hov...
