AKDN (Balance Sheet)
Dear Editor,
As a non Chitrali but regular reader of chitraltimes.com, I would
like to express here my point of view regarding Mr. Islamuddin�s
political propaganda against AKDN through the online newspaper.
First of all, AKDN is a highly reputable organized, recognized and
trustworthy international institution and direct controlled by HRH
Prince Karim Aga Khan. Therefore for audit evaluation and balance
sheet, it�s most required of an institution with an excellent
record and huge manpower. In my perspective, how is it possible for
a single person sitting in a remote and mountain covered area in
Chitral has the power to evaluate and issue a balance sheet within
a couple of hours.
According to me, it�s an insult, and heartbreaking to all the
Chitralians to face these kind of baseless arguments about an
international prize winner organization which has left no stain
since birth. I personally think that Mr. Islamuddin owes an
apology.
Secondly, it�s possible that the learned writer has been rejected
to work for any AKDN organizations for any position, which makes
him angry and want to play a political game especially on the
occasion of His Highness�s expected visit to Chitral.
Many of the learned writers expressed their opinions about this
subject. One of the writers named Mr. Shafi-ur-Rahman, acted
emotionally and tried to attack personally on Ms. Bushra Aman of
Canada, saying that �she should respect knowledge and age before
commenting on a high profile personality�. To my perspective, this
means that, he is trying to tell indirectly not to express her
opinion just because Mr. Islamuddin is older and more educated then
her.
I must say that we all are Umat-e-Mohammadi, regardless of age. Our
prophet (PBUH) said �To acquire knowledge is binding upon all
Muslims, whether male or female�. He also said, seek knowledge even
if takes you to travel to china. �He who travels in the search of
knowledge, to him God shows the way of Paradise�. In these
Ahadithse Mubaraka, our Holy Prophet (PBUH) doesn�t mention any age
to get and express knowledge.
Famous Muslim �Ravi� Abu Hurirah (RA) was only 13 years old when he
was starting �riwayat� of Holy Ahadithse. Another well known Muslim
mathematician, and philosopher is Abu Ali Sina (Avicenna) who was
only 7 years old when he memorized the Holy Quran by heart.
Therefore, it�s absolutely ridiculous for Mr. Shafi-ur-Rahman to
say that age matters when it comes to one being able to express
their views.
In conclusion, I must affirm that Mr. Islamuddin is attempting to
lay down a very risky foundation and fluttering on the hands of his
political lords. In result, situation like Sawat and FATA will take
place in Chital also if arguments like these continue. I personally
and humbly appeal to my Chitrali brothers and sisters, elders and
senior citizens, youth and students, government servants and civil
society members to please have a mutual harmony and prevent
upcoming flood in Chitral.
