All India Muslim Forum expresses its deepest
condolences to the victims of the unprecedented
natural disaster that has struck both India and
Pakistan jointly, ruthlessly cutting across their
artificial barrier created by the line of control.
While still the bodies are being extricated from
the rubble and the shrieks of affected families are
continuing, we heard the news of the terrorists
brutally murdering a few families, as if this
horrifying disaster, and the lesson which the Nature
seeks to teach to the erring humanity means nothing to
these monstrous elements.
Whatever may be the scientific reasons for these
calmaities,every religion is almost unanimous on this
point that they occur as the retribution from the
Providence for the unforgivable human sins and when
the humanity transgresses all permissible limits.
The fallen buildings will once again be erected,
the survivors, having lost everything will find the
means of survival and the monetary losses will be
compensated through the benevolent of the entire world
community, but no human being who perished in a
heart-rending manner can be resurrected.
Standing at this pathetic moment, the only lesson
which both the countries must learn must be that it is
not only their people who are one, but their ruins and
disasters, coming down from above are also same. May
be that the Nature must have reacted and retaliated to
both the countries's continuing recalcitrance to lead
a life of peaceful coexistence.
In the aftermath of this tragedy, a concerted and
genuine attempt by both to eliminate the element of
acrimony from their relations and a solemn vow to
ensure harmony between them will be the best atonement
for their sins to propitiate Nature not to punish them
again in a similar manner, and will be the best homage
to the souls of those who found their tombs under the
heaps of rubble.It will also give a succour to the
survivors who have lost their everything.
