In the era of globalization, the secret agencies are using tribalism to enhance their sinister plan in the peaceful society. The rogue and visionless Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Military Intelligence (MI) have no idea how damaging their militarization and Talibanization policy could be for the country in the coming times—more devastating than the policies of ex-military dictator General Zia.
While explaining its mission, the APMLsays it would "promote theological and political consensus between (sic) different segments of people and stakeholders: Government, Parliament, Army, ISI, Political Leadership, Judiciary, Civil Society, Media, and the Muslim Scholars."
It goes ahead and says: "The Islamic republic of Pakistan is the biggest partner of UN Peacekeeping Force. This great Islamic Nation wholeheartedly contributes to the UN Charter."
This statement of the APMLseems a press release of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
Basically, the Ismailis are facing leadership crisis in Hunza. Government employees have been appointed honorary presidents and vice-presidents of the local and regional Ismaili councils, who are misusing their powers. "These so-called leaders are playing in the hands of the criminal secret agencies to get personal benefits. Many of them are fulltime employees of the ISI, MI, IB etc while some are on their payroll," says a native on condition of anonymity.
Locals say the community in Hunza has been divided into two groups: one led by Ismaili Council president Manzoor Ali and the other is led by Ghulam Qadir Baig of Khana-e-Hikmat, an NGO founded by famous poet Allama Nasir ud-Din Nasir Hunzai. Now the secret agencies are trying to divide the people on linguistic grounds: Burushaski of Central Hunza (Burushal), Wakhi of Upper Hunza (Gojal) and Shina of Lower Hunza (Shinaki). With fake identities, the spies are spreading racial slurs against the groups to cause rift in the region.
The agents of the agencies in Gojal tell the youth that their future is related to Central Asia, especially China... then they go to Burushal and say people in Gojal are less patriot... when they reach Shinaki, they say the people of Brushal are exploiting them even after end of the despot Mir System (Hunza State was abolished in 1974). In this way new conflicts are taking birth and if not stopped, Hunza could be the next Waziristan. It could be catastrophic! The Cyber Generation must resist the conspiracies of the elderly spies. This is what many educated people say.
Unfortunately, unknowingly, the youth is becoming victim of a conspiracy against the people of Gilgit-Baltistan, an Orphaned Land that demands representation in the Parliament of Pakistan. No one is resisting the hatched conspiracies due to fear of the secret agencies.
"The sons of many respected local leaders like Haji Qudratullah Baig, Al-Waiz Ghulamuddin and Al-Waiz Sher Ahmed have joined the secret agencies and now they're being used to divide our peaceful community. It's the worst era in our history," said an Europe-return social scientist.
According to sources, Ghulam Qadir Baig – a government servant who besides Radio Pakistan has also worked at the Pakistani Embassy in India – was allegedly used to create rift among the Ismailis of Hunza. He allegedly misused the creative power of the nonagenarian writer, Allama Nasir Hunzai, to create a new cult in the region. "But now he (Allama Nasir) has realized that he was betrayed for self gain," says a sympathizer.
The secret agencies are spreading their typical conspiracy theories on one side, saying that Jewish lobby is financing Allama Nasir's organization... while on the other side they say: Allama Nasir is a poet like Allama Iqbal, the national poet of Pakistan. There is even a "We Hate Nasir ud-Din Hunzai" page on the Facebook. Everywhere is divide-and-rule policy... the double game has become a trademark of the ruling class in Pakistan.
According to locals, the establishment first gave space to the poetry of Allama Nasir Hunzai on Radio Pakistan, then he was given government awards. One day he was told: "Allama Nasir! Your poetic hypothesis of spiritual healing of complicated diseases is far better than the modern sciences... especially the healthcare services of the Aga Khan Development Network." This was enough to betray an elderly poet, who had no formal education but had become a self-taught religious scholar, and had made a name for himself as Father of Burushaski Language and Literature."
"(Ghulam) Qadir and his mafia-like group must be taken to task for dividing the people," said a college teacher. While talking about Manzoor Ali – president of the Ismaili Regional Council Gilgit and an assistant professor of physics at the Karakoram International University (KIU) Gilgit – the teacher said: "He's a notorious criminal. We're ashamed of such people in the Education Department. We're ashamed of Qadir and Manzoor for staging a horrible drama in Karimabad, when the Ismailis were divided into two groups to shed blood in the name of 'tradition' and 'religion'."
Manzoor Ali is also accused of getting a faked PhD degree from the physics department of Quaid-e-Azam University, Islamabad. "To get promotion or provide benefits to his family members, especially a brother in the military, he can do anything..." A community worker alleged that Manzoor Ali "provides copies of Frameen (Aga Khan's messages to the community) to the ISI and MI before delivering to Jamat Khanas (community centers)".
An unemployed university-educated young man in Gilgit said: "Sunni, Shia and every other community's leaders are providing protection to their respective communities, but only our leaders (Ismailis) make innocent people sacrificial goats on the orders of their masters..."
People say a boy was accused of committing blasphemy in Gilgit city, instead of saying that a Muslim in his/her senses can't imagine to commit this crime punishable by death in the country or seeking fair trial, Manzoor Ali demanded severe punishment for the accused even before his formal arrest. People could have killed him (the accused) but thanks to the Imam of the Central Mosque Gilgit, who told the people to disperse peacefully and let the law decide if the accused was guilty or not. After a Shia leader's statement to end of sectarianism, this was the most wisely act from a Sunni leader in the city.
Sources claim that Manzoor Ali along with some officials of the ISI and MI has made a gang that terrorizes people especially girls of different schools, colleges and university. Members of the alleged gang included Major Khushamdin (MI), Major Amin (ISI), Ahsanullah Mir (Registrar KIU), Manzoor Ali, movie-maker Javed, ASI (police) Karim Hayat and Khushamad Shishkat.
