A Story about Youm-e-Takbeer

A story I would like to share..
After the historic moment of May 28, 1988 when Pakistan carried out six nuclear explosions in response to India's five, Begum Kalsoom Nawaz who was the First Lady of Pakistan at that time decided to go and offer Nawaafil of Shukrana at the site where these explosions had taken place.
While the bus, in which several journalists and a few politicians were also traveling along with the First Lady, headed towards Chagai, they found a man walking by the road. Begum sahiba asked the driver to stop the bus and told him to inquire from the man where he wanted to go. The pedestrian told that he was going to Chagai where the First Lady was to offer the Shukrana Nawaafil and he also wanted to do the same. Begum sahiba asked him, had he evr seen the First Lady? He denied. One of the journalists asked the man how was he going to reach Chagai? He said he was going by foot. Everyone was shocked to know that as Chagai was still some 15 miles away and it was 12 at noon. Begum sahiba asked the man to board the bus and that he did.

It was shocking for him to see the same woman who had asked him to board the bus was actually the First Lady when she offered the Nawaafil.
I had read this story a long time ago in Daily Nawaiwaqt but it always gives me goosebumps to repeat it. The man was a Baluch. Who says Baluchs don't want to live with Pakistan?

If we have sincere leadership like that of Mian Nawaz Sharif, we do not have a reason to worry about this country.
