بڈگام کنونشن میں وعدوں کا حساب مانگنے والا کارکن چھا گیا

*مائیک بند، سوالات کی آواز بلند،وعدے یاد آئے تو کنونشن کا ماحول بدل گیا*

بڈگام/16مئی/ریاض بڈھانہ

بڈگام این سی کنونشن میں اُس وقت ماحول غیر متوقع طور پر دلچسپ بلکہ قدرے کشیدہ ہو گیا جب حاضرین کے مجمعے میں سے ایک کارکن اچانک کھڑا ہوا اور مائیک کے بغیر ہی اپنی آواز کو مائیک بنا ڈالا۔ بتایا جاتا ہے کہ کارکن نے انتخابی مہم کے دوران کیے گئے وعدوں کی یاددہانی کراتے ہوئے قیادت سے سوال کیا کہ آخر وہ خواب کب تعبیر پائیں گے جو جلسوں کے اسٹیجوں سے عوام کو دکھائے گئے تھے۔

ذرائع کے مطابق اس دوران محفل کا منظر بھی خاصا دیدنی تھا۔ کچھ چہرے مسکرا رہے تھے، کچھ نظریں اِدھر اُدھر بھاگ رہی تھیں، جبکہ کچھ کوششوں کا مرکز یہ تھا کہ کسی طرح معاملے کو "آرام سے" سنبھال لیا جائے۔ لیکن لگتا تھا کہ مذکورہ کارکن کے صبر کا پیمانہ اپنی آخری حد عبور کر چکا تھا۔ وہ بلند آواز میں اپنے مطالبات دہراتا رہا، گویا یاد دلا رہا ہو کہ الیکشنی وعدوں کی میعاد ختم ہونے کی تاریخ عوام کو یاد رہتی ہے۔

سیاسی حلقوں میں اس واقعے پر چہ مگوئیاں جاری ہیں۔ کچھ لوگ اسے عوامی بے چینی کی جھلک قرار دے رہے ہیں، جبکہ بعض کا کہنا ہے کہ جلسوں میں تالیاں بجانے والے جب سوال پوچھنا شروع کر دیں تو سیاست کا موسم بدلنے میں زیادہ دیر نہیں لگتی۔

Tahir Fazal Kasana, the Hero of Hill Kaka, who once stood fearless in the face of danger and earned recognition for his courage at the national level.
He will always be remembered as the face of civilian courage during Operation Sarp Vinash (2003), when his support and that of the local tribal community played a defining role in a historic anti-terror operation in the hills of Poonch.
His legacy is not just of bravery, but of unity between people and forces in the fight against terror, a chapter that will forever remain etched in the story of India’s counter-insurgency efforts.
Rest in peace, a true son of the soil.
Your courage will echo in the mountains you once protected.
