Don’t insult the poor donkey – by Ali Taj
A conversation on facebook:
MS: Thats not fair, aakhir gadhay ke bhi izat hoti hai, becharay gadhay ko iftikhar chaudhry bana diya. (It’s an insult of the poor donkey to resemble him to Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry).
AT: It is a very cruel thing to do to the poor donkey.
AZ: A donkey is an extremely hard working animal. Comparing him with CJ Iftikhar Chaudhry is the ultimate insult to a donkey. You cannot compare “Chief Saab” to even a dog, which is a loyal animal. “Chief Saab” is a species of its own kind. I condemn MQM for making fun of the donkey.
ARL: In my humble, view this is just a propaganda against a peace loving party such as MQM. If this was a real MQM protest, the donkey would have been killed in target killing or would have some kind of indication of a drill boring in his head or worse. A typical MQM trademark they would have found the donkey all tied up in a bori! Since none of that is present here I would like the chief justice sahib to take a sumo moto action against these culprits for falsifying the reputation of a peace loving party such as MQM.
LA: Instead of blaming MQM, let’s focus on the fact that the donkey in the supreme court issues notices to politicians while providing relief to LeT, LeJ and now Lal Masjid Deobandi militants.
NMZ: Kya iss donkey kay baitay nay bhee 90 crore ghaib say kamaai hain? (Has this donkey’s son too earned Rs. 90 crore though dubious means?)
Previous insult: Zawar Hussain Bismal recites an insult-poem (hajv) on pro-Taliban Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftikhar M. Chaudhry. Massive applause by more than 300,000 Shia Muslims present at a mammoth rally in Lahore on 1 July 2012. The rally was organized by the Majlis-e-Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM) to express Shia Muslims’ protest against their ongoing massacre at the hands of Takfiri Deobandi terrorists alleged to be supported by Pakistan army and judiciary.

48 hours after my child was diagnosed with Leukaemia; Global Jihad struck out at London, the 7/7 bombers were enroute to their 72 virgins and for us there was terror, both within and without. In the prayer chapel at Great Ormond Street hospital; I had a conversation with the resident Rabbi about the nature of evil; faith in the Divine Plan, human suffering and endurance. One thing the good Rabbi narrated has stayed with me: namely the idea that even in the most depraved times; there are those who do not succumb to the Zeitgeist. God will not destroy a People so long as there exist among them even a handful, a `quorum’ of righteous men.. I was reminded of this as I watched Zawar Hussain Bismal in his Byronic glory and I thought: it is not all over yet.
Never will a` credentialled’ liberal of any complexion act with like clarity and courage.The hope of this world rests with such `Happy Few’ as him.
Dear Brother Ali Taj , how can u build Pakistan by insulting your country’s appointed Chief justice and judiciary.It is like raping Deobandi Takfiri’s own mother.
This is a novel way of protest. A donkey ride is given to the criminal .His face is blackened with the chimney soot , and then hais garlanded with old slippers and shoes around his neck , and papaded in the streets of village.
Usually donkey is used as a symbol and make a good spectacle for the villagers young and old alike.
We can not object to this old form of protest. Chief Justice is not above ridicule in the eyes of the villagers, They have no agenda against him . This is only done for the ske of fun.
We should not make it a serious issue. The erest while justice will not mind this sort of pun. He is above such petty things. However the donkey should be treated nicely and due respect.
