فسادات بنی نوع اِنسان کوکیادیتے ہیں ؟ صرف تلخ یادیں


طارق ابرار

حادثات چاہے کسی بھی صورت میں ظہورپذیرہوں ، بنی نوع انسان کےلئے تکالیف اورغموں کے پہاڑلے کرہی آتے ہیں۔ سڑک حادثات کے علاوہ رہائشی مکانات کے انہدا م کاحادثہ ، شدت پسندوں کے حملے کی صورت میں حادثہ یاسیلابی ریلے کی زدمیں آنے سے،یاکسی فسادکی زدمیں آکریادیگرکسی قسم کاحادثہ میں جان بحق ہونے والے کنبے پرحادثہ پیش آنے کے بعدکیاگذرتی ہے اس کااندازہ لگانامتاثرہ کنبہ کے افرادکے علاوہ کسی دوسرے فردکی بس کی بات نہیں۔۷۲ اگست،۸۰۰۲ کاسورج بھی ایک حادثہ اپنے ساتھ لیکرآیا، یہ حادثہ شدت پسندوں کاپیداکردہ تھاجس میں ایک ہونہارنوجوان اپنے والدین ، بھائی بہنوں ، رشتہ داروں ، عزیزواقارب اورقریبی دوستوں کوچھوڑکرچندہی سیکنڈوں میں دُنیاکوخیربادکہہ گیا۔کسی کے وہم وگمان میں بھی یہ بات نہ تھی کہ ہماراپیارااتناجلدہم سے جداہوجائے گالیکن اللہ تعالیٰ کی مرضی کے آگے انسان کربھی کیاکرسکتاہے۔ موت توایک بہانہ ہے اوراس کاوقت متعین ہے ۔ ملک الموت کافرشتہ اللہ کی جانب سے سونپاگیاکام وقت پرکیوں نہ اداکرے۔یہ انسان ہے جواشرف المخلوقات کادرجہ رکھنے کے باوجودفرمانِ اِلٰہی کوٹھکراتاپھرتاہے۔بے شک انسان ایساکرکے گھاٹے کاسوداکرتاہے۔
جولائی اگست ۸۰۰۲ ءجس وقت امرناتھ یاتراجموں وکشمیرمیں جاری تھی ، اسی اثنامیں سیاستدانوں نے امرناتھ زمینی تنازعہ کوجنم دے کرایسے حالات پیداکیے جن سے آج بھی ہمیں گھن آتی ہے۔ امرناتھ زمینی تنازعہ کوسیاستدانوں نے سیاسی رنگت دے کرہندومسلم مسئلہ کے طورپراُجاگرکیا۔اُس وقت ریاست جموں وکشمیرکی سرمائی راجدھائی جموں اورگرمائی راجدھانی کشمیرجوکہ دوالگ الگ صوبوں کی حیثیت رکھتے ہیں کے لوگوں کوآپس میں مذہب کے نام پرلڑانے کی کوششیں عروج پرتھیں۔ہرگذرتے لمحے اوردِن کے ساتھ دونوں صوبوں کے لوگوں کوہندومسلم فسادکے آغازکادِن اورلمحہ قریب محسوس ہورہاتھا۔ جموں صوبہ جوکہ دس اضلاع پرمشتمل ہے میں مسلمان طبقہ کے لو گ اقلیت میں ہیں اورکشمیرمیں صورتحال اس کے برعکس ہے۔جہاں جموں کے ہندوﺅں کوکشمیرمیں مقیم ہندوﺅں کی فکرستارہی تھی وہیں کشمیرکے لوگوں کوصوبہ جموں کے مسلمانوں کوفکرتھی۔جموں میں جب سڑکوں پرٹائرجلاکربم بم بولے کے نعرے دیئے جاتے تومسلمان طبقہ کے لوگ سہم جاتے ۔اوریہ خدشہ محسوس کرتے کہ فسادابھی شروع ہواکہ ہوا۔ظاہرسی بات ہے کہ کشمیرمیں اقلیتی آبادی ڈری ہوئی تھی۔اللہ تعالیٰ کاریاست جموں وکشمیرکے لوگوں پراحسان عظیم تھاکہ امرناتھ زمینی تنازعہ جوایک وبال کی صورت اختیارکرچکاتھااورحالات بھی کافی کشیدہ ہونے کے باوجود۸۰۰۲میں فسادنہ ہوا۔
نامساعدحالات کے دوران ہی ۷۲ اگست کادِن آن پہنچا،جس کی صبح کاسورج میرے ایک قریبی دوست شبیت حسین کےلئے موت کاپیغام لیکرآیا، اس دوست کے ساتھ میراتعلق چھٹی جماعت میں قائم ہوا، جب میں نے اوراس نے ایک ساتھ گوجربکروال ہوسٹل میں داخلہ لیا۔اس کے بعدشبیت اورمیں نے سات برس تک یعنی چھٹی تابارہویں جماعت تک کاسفرایک ساتھ طے کیا۔ ہمارے ہم جماعت دیگرساتھی بھی تھے جوایک ساتھ پیارومحبت کے ساتھ رہتے تھے ۔گوجربکروال ہوسٹل جموں میں ایک ساتھ زمانہ طالب علمی کے دوران گذار ے ہوئے زندگی کے حسین لمحے ۔آج بھی جب یادآتے ہیں تودِل روپڑتاہے۔ آج بھی مجھے لگتاہے کہ کل کی بات ہے کہ میں اورشبیت ایک ساتھ کھیلاکرتے تھے، ایک ساتھ سکول جایاکرتے تھے اورکبھی کبھی آپس میں جھگڑبھی لیتے ۔کبھی کلاس میں اول اوردوئم آنے پراورکبھی کلاس کامانیٹربننے کے معاملے پر۔اورکبھی کلاس میں سب سے پہلے ڈیسک پربیٹھنے پر۔شبیت کے ساتھ گذارے حسین لمحوںکی یادیں آج بھی میرے ذہن میں محفوظ ہیں ۔ ہرسال اگست کامہینہ شبیت کی یادوں کی سوغات لیکرآتاہے اورشبیت کے ساتھ گذارے حسین لمحے اس مہینے میں میرے لیے کرب اورتلخ یادیں لیکرآتے ہیں۔ ۷۲اگست ،۸۰۰۲کوگذرے پانچ سال کاعرصہ ہونے والاہے لیکن آج بھی ایسالگتاہے کہ شبیت ہم سے جدانہیں ہوابلکہ آج بھی ہم میں موجودہے۔میرادِل اپنے دوست کوآج بھی پکاراُٹھتاہے کہ تم کہاں ہو!۔کیااتنی ہی دوستی نبھانی تھی اوراپنے ساتھیوں کوغموں کی سوغات ہی دینی تھی۔کچھ سال اوررُک جاتے ۔ان گذرے پانچ سالوں میں کسی بھی اگست کے مہینے میں شبیت کی یاداس شدت سے نہیں آئی کیونکہ اگست 2013 اوراگست 2008 کے مہینے میں بہت سی باتیں مشترکہ گذری ہیں۔ 
اگست 2008 میں،میں ایک اُردوروزنامہ میں کام کررہاتھا۔27 اگست کی صبح میں اپنے ایک رشتہ دارکے گھرمیں تھاجوکہ رائے چوک سے آدھاکلومیٹردورتھا۔اچانک بندوق کی گولیوں کی گونج سنائی دی ۔اورپھرچندہی منٹوں کے بعدبذریعہ فون شبیت کی شہادت کی خبرموصول ہوئی۔خبرتھی کہ ملی ٹینٹوں نے رائے پورچوک میں گولی بارکرکے ایک لڑکے کوشہیدکردیاہے ۔فون کرنے والے نے یہ بھی بتایاکہ شبیت حسین اپنے بڑے بھائی شوکت علی جوکہ پولیس محکمہ میں ملازمت کرتاہے کیساتھ جموں میں کالج پڑھنے کےلئے جارہاتھا۔یہ خبرسن کر میرے پاﺅں کے نیچے سے زمین ہی نکل گئی۔دِل کافی اُداس ہوالیکن رنج وغم کے سواہوبھی کچھ نہ سکتاتھا۔ اس وقت ریاست جموں وکشمیرفرقہ پرستی کی لپیٹ میں تھی ۔ اپنے دوست کی قبرپرمیں صحافت کے پیشے کے فرائض انجام دینے کی خاطرنہ پہونچ سکا۔حالات نازک تھے اوراخبارکاکوئی بھی کمپیوٹرآپریٹردفترنہ پہونچ سکاتھا۔دفتروالوں نے پریس کی گاڑی بھیج کرمجھے اخبارتیارکروانے کےلئے رائے پورسے اُٹھالیا۔میں چاہتاتھاکہ میں خیری جاﺅں مگرکیاکرتا۔۔ایک طرف صحافت کاپیشہ جوہمیشہ صحافیوں کواپنے دوستوں ،اوررشتہ داروں سے دوری بنائے رکھنے کاکام کرتاہے۔اس پیشے نے مجھے اس دن کافی مایوس کیا۔
اس اگست میں بھی کشتواڑسانحہ کے بعدفرقہ پرستی کی ہواچاروں طرف پھیلی ۔اس باربھی عیدالفطرکے روزکشتواڑواقعے کے باعث حالات کشیدہ ہوئے۔ فوری طورپرصحافت کے پیشے کے فرائض نبھانے کےلئے عیدکوادھوری چھوڑکرآناپڑا۔ خیرصحافیوں کوملک کی بری، بحری اورہوائی فوج کے بعدکی چوتھی فوج کاسپاہی قراردیاگیاہے۔ صحافی حضرات مبارکبادکے مستحق ہیں جومشکل حالات میں سب کچھ بھول کراپنی ذمہ داریوں کواداکرنے کوترجیح دیتے ہیں۔
جس طرح سے 2008 میںشبیت حسین سمیت کئی افرادشدت پسندی اورفرقہ پرستی کی بھینٹ چڑھے ۔اسی طرح کشتواڑمیں بھی فرقہ پرستی کی زدمیں دوافرادنے جانیں گنوائیں ۔شدت پسندی اورفرقہ پرست کی آگ لگانے والوں پرلعنت ہو۔جن کی وجہ سے انسانی جانیں تلف ہوتی ہیں اوردہائیوں تک اپنے پیاروں کادردلواحقین کے دِلوں میں رہتاہے۔ہراگست شبیت کے لواحقین اورکشتواڑکے سانحے میں جاں بحق ہوئے افرادکے لواحقین کےلئے کسی اذیت یاعذاب سے کم نہ ہوگا۔شبیت حسین اصل میں ۸۰۰۲ کاہیروہے جس کی شہادت نے حالات کوپرامن بنانے کی خاطراپنی جان کی قربانی دی۔سلام ہواس شہیدپرجس نے جموں وکشمیرریاست کی فضا ءکواپنی شہادت سے معطرکرکے امن قائم کیا۔
آج اگست ۸۰۰۲کوگذرے پانچ سال کاعرصہ ہوچکاہے ۔ پانچ سال کے بعد۹اگست ۳۱۰۲کوعیدالفطرکے روزاُس وقت کشتواڑمیں فسادبھڑک اُٹھاجب حالات بھی سازگارتھے اورہندومسلم طبقہ کے لوگوں کے درمیان کوئی بڑاتنازعہ بھی نہ تھا۔ لوگ پرامن طریقے سے رہ رہے تھے ۔ نہ جانے کن فرقہ پرست طاقتوں نے عیدگاہ کشتواڑپہنچ کرفسادکےلئے حالات سازگاربنائے اوراس فسادکی زدمیں آکردوافرادکی جانیں تلف ہوئیں۔فسادکوبھڑکنے سے روکنے کےلئے انتظامیہ کشتواڑنے سرگرم رول اداکرکے حالات کوقابوکرلیا اوردونوں طبقوں کے ذی شعورلوگوں نے معاشرے کوامن وبھائی چارے کی بحالی کےلئے کردارنبھانے کےلئے آگے آنے کی تلقین کی اورصدیوں پرانی آپسی بھائی چارے کوبرقراررکھنے کی اپیل کی۔ریاستی سرکارکی جانب سے کچھ فیصلے بروقت لیے گئے جس نے حالات کوجلدپٹری پرلانے میں اہم کرداراداکیا۔عیدالفطرکے روزکشتواڑمیں پیش آئے فسادکی وجہ سے نہ صرف صوبہ جموں میں وہی حالات پیداہوئے جوجولائی اگست ۸۰۰۲میں پیداہوئے تھے ۔اگست ۳۱۰۲کے حالات سے بھی فرقہ پرستی کی وہی بوآرہی ہے جوجولائی اگست ۸۰۰۲کوفضاﺅں میں بکھری تھی۔فسادکے نتیجے میں جن افرادکی جانیں تلف ہوئیں ۔ان کے لواحقین کوسرکارنے پانچ پانچ لاکھ روپے بطورایکس گریشیاریلیف دینے کااعلان کیاہے۔ سوال یہ ہے کیا فسادات کے نتیجے میں تلف ہوئی جانیں واپس لوٹ آئے گی۔مذہب کامسئلہ حساس مسئلہ ہوتاہے لیکن مذہب کے مسئلے پرانسان مذہب کے درس کوکیوں بھول جاتاہے ۔کیوں انسان انسانیت کوشرمسارکرنے پرتل جاتاہے۔کیوں باباآدم کی اولادہونے کے باوجودآدمی آدمی سے مذہب کی بناءپرنفرت کرناشروع کرتاہے اوراس کاذہن کیوں مذہب کے درس کوترک کرتاہے۔جن لوگوں نے فسادجیسے دلدوزحادثے کے نتیجے میں اپنے پیاروں کوکھویاان کاغم کوئی دوسرامحسوس نہیں کرسکتا۔ شبیت کی موت کادرداس کے والدین ،بھائی بہنوں اورعزیزدوستوں کے دِلوں سے کون نکال سکتاہے۔ آج ۷۲ اگست کوپھرسے شبیت کی یادشدت سے آرہی ہے ۔ اللہ تعالیٰ سے دُعاگوہیں کہ شد ت پسندوں اورفرقہ پرستی کی لپیٹ میں آکرجانیں گنوانے والے افرادکے لواحقین کوصبروجمیل عطافرمائے اورکسی کاپیاراشدت پسندی اورفرقہ پرستی کی آگ کی لپیٹ میں نہ آئے ۔ کیونکہ یہ آگ بڑی بھانک ہوتی ہے اوراس کی تپش کوسہنابہت ہی جگروگردے کاکام ہے۔ہم سب کوفرقہ وارانہ ہم آہنگی کوفروغ دینے کےلئے کام کرناچاہیئے اورہر مسئلہ کوافہام وتفہیم سے حل کرنے پرترجیح دینی چاہیئے۔

Poem
Sar Utha kar shehar mein chalne ka mousam aa gya
Aao ke mousam badal dene ka mousam aa gya
Aao zara !
Dosto Aao zara !
Dho raha tha mein jise apne phate kurte ke sath
Dho raha tha mein jise apne phate kurte ke sath
Aaj who bacha ussi gadi ke niche aa gya
socho zara !
Dosto Aao zara !
Aao jharoo sheen lein in nanne hathon se ke ab
Hath mein in ke qalm dene ka mousam aa gya
Kab talak kagaz chunein ge kuchon ke gande dher se
Hath mein in ke qalm dene ka mousam aa gya
Kab talak kagaz chunein ge kuchon ke gande dher se
Konplon ke phool mein khilne ka mousam aa gya
Aao zara !
socho zara !
Ger muslim ho ke muslim sab ka apna ghar hai yeh
Sab ne jeena hai marna hai iss aagosh mein
Woh jo nafrat dalte hein in dilon mein jaan lein
Un saroon ki fasal jhukne ka mousam aa gya
Aao zara !
Dosto Aao zara !
Maa hai, beti hai, bahu hai ,behan hai, biwi hai yeh
Aaj ye khush rang rishte kyun pareshan ho gaye
Jis se in rishtoon mein qayam ho mohabbat ki fiza
Aaj se wo pyar barsane ke mousam aa gya.
Aao zara !
Dosto Aao zara !
Kya hamara farz hai khali tamasha dekhna
Kya hamein har waqt karma hai gila sarkar se
Aao mil kar bant lein jurm-e-zarifi ki saza
Aur lein badle mein hum lakhon caroron ke dua
Aao zara !
Dosto Aao zara !
Sar Utha kar shehar mein chalne ka mousam aa gya
Aao ke mousam badal dene ka mousam aa gya
Aao zara !
Dosto Aao zara !
He wants to mould the children on the path of development. He opposed those elements, who spread hate rid in the society. Abrar wants his countrymen to live with love & affection. He wants security to his fellow citizens so that they can live with peace & prosperity.
            Besides musician & social worker, Abrar serves his nation as a political leader too. On 25th of Dec. 2011, he joined the “Tehreek-E-Insaaf “ Party, which is founded by the great cricketer turned politician Imran Khan. Before joining Imran Khan’s Party, he was leading the youth of the country under the banner of “Youth Parliament” an NGO. After joining the Tehreek-E-Insaaf, he is actively campaigning for this party & is attending processions and rallies. He exhorts the people of Pakistan to change the set up of the country for betterment. He is of the firm view that one day the reins of the country will come in the hands of Tehreek-E-Insaaf Party, which will leave no stone unturned for the development and prosperity of the nation.
            There are a few lines which he quote while delivering a lecture in a rally of the Party “ I first of all congratulate you that the revolution which we have imagined from early childhood, seems to become true. Thank God, I think the time has come when the party is going to achieve 2/3rd majority in the coming elections. The Govt. framed by the party will be the Govt. of Justice, the Govt. of the real Pakistani’s. That will be not the Govt. of VIPs. That will be the Govt. of public, the Govt. of young generation. A few months ago I had held a rally “Pakistan Bachao”. I think that after Oct,30 2011, the situation has changed. In the rally two youth came to me & told that we want to do suicide. I told them why you are thinking so, in order to divert the attention of Govt. towards youth & will think for the youth. We have no employment. Perhaps the govt. will give some relief to our family after this incident & our sisters will be married. I told them you have turned mad. Never expect “feeding” from step-mother. Step mother will not tolerate your demands and aspirations. You will get nothing. You have to fight for your rights. I told them that I will help you in this hour of difficulty. Thank God, the “Tehreek-E-Insaf” party flourished & a ray of hope is seen. Today I understand through the party a revolution will be emerge. The Pakistan, which name is written in our & your blood, is disintegrating. See the writings on the walls of Balochistan. What is there written is that like 1971, this portion of the country will also Secede. This means that a sword is on my arm too which has already cut my arteries before it, my half body has already been cut. Oh my dear citizens, we have not to self ourselves. Now we have only a chance. God knows that another will come or not. Now we have to proceed with Tehreek-E-Insaf. Before talking good bye I will present a poem & wish you will accompany me.
Poem..
Sar jalayen ge roshni hogi
Us ujale mein faisle hon ge
Roshnai b khoon ki hogi
Aur who faqa kash qalam
Jis mein jitni chikhon ki dastanein
Likhne ki arzoo hogi
Na hi lamha qarar ka hoga
Na hi rasta farar ka hoga
Who adalat gareeb ki hogi
Jaan atki wazeer ki hogi
Jis ne bechi qalam ki taqat
Jis ne apna zameer becha hai
Jo ab dukanein sajai bethe hein
Sach se daman shudaye bethe hein
Jis ne becha azab becha hai
Muflison ko sarab becha hai
Din ko be hisab becha hai
Aur kuch ne roti ka khwab becha hai
Aur kya kahein hum ke qaum ko us ne
Kis tarah bar bar becha hai
Faiz o iqbal ka padosi hoon
Ik tadap mere khoon mein b hai
Aankh mein silsala hai khwabon ka
Ek mehak mere char soo b hai
Jhonpri ke naseeb badlein ge
Phir kahin inqlaab aaye ga, inqlaab aye ga
Inqlaab, inqlaab, inqlaab, inqlaab
Lute hue, pise huon ka waqt intqaam hai
Ab to qatilon ka waqt-e-akttam hai
Aam aadmi ke hathon mein iqtdar aye ga
Be qasoor shehriyon ka khoon rang laye ga
Des ki ragoon mein raqs-e-zehar beshmar hai
Utho be dosto ke tum ko kis ka intzaar hai
Inqlaab, inqlaab, inqlaab, inqlaab

Really disappointement is a curseGod helps those,who help themselves. By:Tariq Abrar


The Daily “Udaan” has been inaugurated on 2nd Nov, 2009. For the first time, Perhaps, I had seen the Daily on 5th Dec, 2009 on a newspaper stall. Whereas, it was in its infancy, very few people were familiar with the fact that a newspaper title “Udaan” has started its publication from Jammu. At that time, I was working with a Daily Urdu Newspaper “Taskeen”, one of the oldest newspaper in urdu published from Jammu. In the Taskeen, Sunday is a holiday,being a holiday in Taskeen, I often used to visit my ancestral village “Dhanu” to see my parents, brothers & dear ones. Dhanu, a village 50 km far from Jammu. As usual, I left to my village on Sunday i.e 5th Dec,2009. While proceedings to the Bus stand, I come across a news paper stall, where I had a glimpse of the Daily “Udaan”. I stopped to see the newspaper & purchased it. In the newspaper, not only the news items were interesting but the articles, too were very interesting & were presenting & highlighting the problems of the common masses. On seeing the Daily “Udaan”, I felt that it is  the only newspaper which will emerge as the voice of the poor, down trodden & helpless people.
            While going through the paper, I felt a deep desire to serve, my heart felt that if I could get an opportunity to serve the paper. The basic cause to serve the paper was that in 2007, when I had a chance to appear for an interview in a Daily Urdu namely “Kashmir Uzma” Jammu, at that time I was raw-hand, having no knowledge reporting or  translating even an English press release or an urdu one & that was the only reason that I could not be selected for the said paper. I was a minor & being related to a poor family, I was in search of a job. Not being selected for the paper, I was not disappointed, rather, it encouraged me to face the hardships & difficulties in the day-to-day life. After that I selected a moto that one day I will serve a leading newspaper & to achive this goal I began to build the required capabilities.
            Afterwards, it became a normal routine for me to purchase & go-through to “Daily Udaan”, & became connected to it as a reader. My curiosity to work in “Udaan” also increased as the paper carries news items with the exciting headings & that took on the coloured front & 8th pages, these pages are designated uniquely also. The most thing which a reader feels after reading this paper is that it is the paper which projects healthy Journalism & in real sense represents the public view point. That is the reason, why I became much eager to work with this paper.
            With the passage of time, Udaan became talk of the day. There is hardly only paper in J&K which attained so much popularity in this short period as “Udaan” achieved in the first 6 months of its publication. The paper would have completed its six months of publication that I had to submit a Press Release in this paper. It was regarding a Govt. officer, who had denied employment to my sister being in merit through mal-practices. Though I had published the news items about the said corrupt officer in so many newspapers. But hearing Udaan’s popularity, I felt it appropriate to publish the corrupt practices of the said officer in the Daily “Udaan”.
            I had no knowledge about the proprioter of Udaan & its staff members. I had heared from any one that Jaan Mohd, who was my senior in the Gujjar Bakerwal hostel, is working in the “Udaan”. I got his phone no. from my another friend & immediately called him & introduced my self to him. I told him that “I am Tariq Choudhary, your junior of the Gujjar hostel. I told him that I am a computer operator in the Daily “Taskeen” & has a problem. I want to publish a Press Release in your esteemed paper. Jaan Mohd heared me patiently & told me that I am out of the office & will be there in ten minutes. So, reach our office after ten minutes.
            I took the Urdu typed press release in my hands & reached the office of the Daily “Udaan” . It was 1:00 P.M & there were only two persons in the office. They enquired about my visit. I presented the Press-Release. They told me for sitting & was served with a glass of water. Those two persons wer none other than the Chief Editor Jb. Iqbal Hussain Kazmi & Tanveer Ahmed Khateeb. On seeing the Press-Release Mr.Iqbal Hussain Kazmi asked me that what are you doing? I told frankly that I am a computer operater working with Daily “Taskeeen”. He go through the Press Release & asked about the truth & reality of the problem. I told him that my sister is in the merit list but the corrupt officer is doing injustice with her by appointing an undeserved one. He told me to get the phone no. of said officer & I will help you. I was highly impressed by his sympathy & got the telephone no.Mr.Iqbal Hussain Kazmi contacted the concerned officer & tried to help me but then the selection list was already 3-4 months old. So, my problem could no be solved & the victim could not get justice.
            With the help of Mr.Jaan Mohd a relation was formed with the Daily “Udaan” & I visited the Daily once or twice in a week. May-June 2010,it were the summary days, one afternoon I went to “Udaan” as usual. There Mr.Tanvir tried to examine my typing speed & handed over an article to me. I typed it very well.
            After two weeks when I reached my home Mr.Jaan Mohd rang me & asked that when you are going to join “Udaan”. I replied that when you will tell. He told me join “Udaan” in a day or two. On hearing these word I was over whelmed because I had no idea that so soon I will get an opportunity to serve “Udaan”. On Mr.Jaan Mohd’s commitment, I joined “Udaan” after two or three days. It is pertinent to mention that I joined the Daily “Taskeen” on 16th Oct, 2007 & in June 2010 under the guidance of Mr.Jaan Mohd & leading to healthy journalism of Mr.Tanvir, I joined the Daily “Udaan”, it was the most fortunate day in my life. Now about three years of my serving the “Udaan” are to complete. The experience, which I gained under the guidance of Mr.Iqbal Hussain Kazmi, Jaan Mohd, Tanveer Ahmed Khatib & Betab Jaipuri & other fellows; Bashir Ahmed Malik, Dailawer Hussain, Zahid Bashir, Mohd Shafi, Muzafar Ahmed , Rashid Ahmed & Mohd Arif is an asset to my life. Mr.Jaan Mohd always taught me to have patience & work dedicatedly. Mr.Tanvir Khateeb & Iqbal Kazmi are just like my parents. Mr. Iqbal Kazmi treats me just like his own child. Today if I am in a position of writing an article, it is by the role of Mr.Tanvir Ahmed Khateeb & Jaan Mohd, which I can’t & will not undermine throughout my life. I understand that Mr.Jaan Mohd & Tanveer Ahmed Khateeb never exploited me but I feel that I have took under adventage from them because I have a little patience, which increased under the influence of Mr.Jaan Mohd & Tanveer Ahmeed Khateeb Sahab. I am highly thankful to all the sincere employees of the Daily “Udaan”. I feel that people thanks for the courtesy but I understand that I have no words to express my gratitude to my well wishers of the Daily. I feel that if I fill number of pages to express my gratefulness to Mr.Jaan Mohd & Tanveer Ahmed Khateeb, still it is very low. The Daily “Udaan” has assumed great importance in my life because it taught me the way of living. Today which morality & wisdom I have attained that is the result of the fight of my parents which they fought against poverty, backwardness. Fighting poverty , my parents molded me towards education & never employed me in the domestic work.
            With the help of “Udaan” I have completed two years of my service in the Jammu University as a contractual employee. Mr. Tanveer introduced me to the then HOD of Urdu Deptt. Jammu University Mr.Prof.Shohab Inayat Malik and provided me a chance to serve in Urdu Deptt. Prof. Shohab Inayat Malik is my most favourite teacher, though I did not attend any formal class under his able guidance but having worked under him what I learned, is an asset to my life. Prof. Shohab is such a literary figure in Jammu Province, whose literary activities have been accepted even by his enemies. Prof.Shohab is presently working as Rector (Director) in the Kishtwar Campus of Jammu University, where he continues his literary activities. I like most of the habbits of Prof.Shohab Inayat Malik, of which two are important ; 1. what ever is in his heart, that is clearly visible through his tongue & face. If he is annoyed with anyone, he clearly says to it. I think that for the recognition of a man, there is no body second to him. I work work with Prof.Shohab Inayat Malik whole heartedly. If some mistake is done by me, he never tell about it infront of others, which is an unique quality of Prof.Shohab Malik. If I write an article through out my life express his gratitude, still it is not sufficient. I am highly thankful to my villagers who provided me financial assistance to pursue my studies. I am grateful to Kapil Kohli & Rahul Kohli, who taught me English typing & are instrumental in directing me to load the life in right direction. I am also thankful to the Principal Global Institute Janipur Parshotam Bhardwaj, who advised me to learn Urdu typing. I feel gratitude to Betab Jaipuri, one of the leading poet of Jammu, who rectified my write-ups & turned me to writing. I am highly thankful to Allah, who lead me in my life & showed me the right path & pray to keep me in the company of the above cited persons, under whose guidance I can be able to help the needy. I understand that one should not loose heart & remain always positive, Allah will never disappoint them provided we remember Him with patience & tolerance. I advise the lakhs of fellow unemployeds that not give place to tension in your mind but be positive & try to stand on your feet. Certainly Allah will hep them & they will succeed in their mission.

Mr Jaan Mohd is clear hearted & always works for the betterment of others. He told me that how much salary you expect. I clearly told about the salary which I got from the Daily Takseen. Smilingly, he asked me that if you are interesting to serve in the Daily “Udaan”. Since I was eager to serve in the Daily, I became happy in my heart of hearts but could not answer directly instead told that I will think over it.
