KARACHI: City Mayor Syed Mustafa Kamal has given a scientifically applicable and rational concept for fighting away the ugly anomalies that have caused the masses of a selective low social class of the society to act negatively, either on individual sphere or in association with organized gangs of militants across the world particularly in Pakistan.
Kamal has offered the best of all possible solution and above all without any financial assistance from any corner, whether from federal or provincial governments in Pakistan or the United States of America that has time and again pronounced huge pecuniary releases to the government of Pakistan since day one after nine-eleven.
But the results have never been achieved while on the other hand; the militants have grown stronger and have equipped them with latest tools of sabotaging the peace of the world by the time.
Although, there are thousands of academic institutions and hundreds of religious seminaries in Pakistan but the typical curriculae of both the types have never been in line with the emerging needs of the hour. The graduates are jobless and the Master degree holders are washing utensils in restaurants.
What Kamal offers to the nation in general and to the world community in particular is the answer to extremism and militancy. He has been quite pragmatic in his measures he has taken till date.
First when he dug all roads in the precincts of the City District Government Karachi, the Karachiites were stunned assuming that the young man would flee shortly when he would find him incapable of mending the mess.
It took a whole one year that the young City Mayor went on digging the roads but he proved by his strong determination that he had completed his homework prior to hitting the ground.
It is open to the naked eyes of every citizen of the city, of the country and of the entire world through the eyes of envoys and satellite that the young City Mayor has rejuvenated the every nook and cranny of the city like a calculated final stroke of the painter.
The United States of America has been leading the WOT while Pakistan has contributed to the much propagated roots of dens in the country as first category ally, shoulder to shoulder with the US administration.
On the other hand, the WOT has engulfed the country with both hands and the devastating result of a decade long fight has caused the Pakistani Forces to combat face to face with the militants on its own land. Kamal has challenged the ways of combating the war on terror (WOT) with ruthless use of weapons and spending dollars without a true line of direction that is needed for the orientation of the required result, the end of WOT.
In accordance with the pinpoint application of the intuition and guidance of his leader, Altaf Hussein, who has been raising his voice as a warning to the threats of extremism in city, Kamal has established the first state of the art technical institute, the Memon Industrial and Technical Institute (MITI) and surprisingly, the MITI is the right answer to the threats of extremism and militancy at a right time.
Kamal knowing that unless and until the issues related to poverty and unemployment were not addressed; it would be only a fool’s dream to eliminate the extremism and terrorism.
The poverty and issues related to it have given a bump in various crimes from tiny pilferages to gang wars but when these youth are converted into skilled manpower and are immediately accommodated in industries for reasonable emoluments with complete self respect, the root causes of the extremism and terrorism would automatically get eliminated.
Kamal’s concept behind the establishment of the MITI has worked because in order to eliminate the militancy it was unavoidable to create job opportunities for the deprived and the illiterate youth of the city because spending billions of dollars on seminars; awareness campaigns and workshops could not resolve these issues.
The risks are greater for the involvement of the illiterate youth in acts of terrorism for money, as it is now an open secret that the enemies of the country have been buying a suicide attacker for only Rs 1 million, had conceived the establishment of the MITI.
He was straight in his panning that by establishing the MITI; he could offer the world a newer concept to check the increases in militants’ strength.
On the other hand, Kamal has on the social aspect moved a step ahead on June 10 when he announced to take measures for the rehabilitation of thousands of drug addict in city and for that purpose, establishment of 18 dedicated rehabilitation centres, one in each towns has been initiated.
I remember he told me, “We would not only treat these adduct medically but these fellowmen would be helped become normal citizens once again with complete and intact self-esteem and technical education for livelihood”.
