   It has not surprised or shocked the nation as it has long stopped wasting time in surprising over such inevitable. Our Supreme Court has though not taken any suo motu note of it but one would definitely hear of that in a day or two. Today the Chief Justice has said that the thieves have come forward to save the thieves. Today’s almost all newspapers say that just to cover up and complete a formality the Foreign Ministry has handed over the enquiry internally to same people who are in fact involved in this scam. What are the practical results of these suo motus are well known. In case of human smuggling one example is enough. In October 2009 the Chief Justice showing his extreme anger ordered the arrest of Ghulam Rasool Baloch, the ex Counsel General in Boston for his issuance of illegally Pakistani passport to an Indian national. He was never arrested and continued working. Same time then, the US State Department showed its concern on the human trafficking state of affair in Pakistan. Later the US FBI tipped our government that the Pakistani passports were being issued by the Pakistani Consulate in the bogus names. Though no proper serious official investigation was made on this tip off, just to cover up the issue the whole blame was put on a Consulate officer who had long died. A prominent columnist once wrote that he witnessed shameful struggle in the Assembly Committee meeting when the Foreign Ministry tried hard to stop questioning on false passports issued by its staff. Last year name of Federal Minister Population Dr. Firdous Awan came out in press that by tempering her NADRA record she sent two children to Italy as her own children. Though she denied but the matter was never investigated and who actually did it was never booked. The name of ex ambassador Malik Yousuf also came in a similar activity. Last year the Director General FIA addressing a Seminar in Islamabad said that he was accountable for any misdeed in FIA. However practically his words remained only words. Big amounts are spent by FIA every year in maintaining red books of human smugglers but names of only those small smugglers are included who fail to increase their regular “mathai”. It is a fact that the human trafficking is done under the shelter of high-ups, bureaucrats and politicians. Gujrat is a well known hub for human smuggling. If anyone wants to be smuggled to Europe he can go to Europe easily if his pocket can afford via Gujrat. Despite knowing all this no one including the so called brave anchors have the courage even to raise the small finger towards Gujrat. My family is victim of such human smuggling. One Khalid Mahmood son of Nabaz Khan living in Khewa village, Mandi Bahauddin, has his construction contracts in Bahrain and U.A.E. This is his bogus fake name as entered in his Passport KA428705 issued at Gujrat. In Khewa village record there is, nor had ever been any Khalid Mahmood son of Nabaz Khan. Every villager knows that the man whose photograph is in the above numbered passport by his real name is M.I s/o R.K. He had taken hundreds of Pakistanis to Bahrain and U.A.E by charging big amounts. He is the most wealthy man in his village. The biggest land holdings in the district are in the name of his real father (not fake father Nabaz Khan). If record of these land holding is checked it would be found 90% of those are transferred in his father name or purchased by his father. If further serious check is made it would be very interesting that all of these so called sellers of these pieces of lands were sold by families of those sons/brothers of which family have gone to Bahrain. One can conclude how this strange phenomena. He took Rs. 3,00,000 from my nephew and took him to Bahrain with him. When my nephew reached Bahrain he found that he was there on a tourist visa and not on work visa. He soon learnt that there were hundreds of other Pakistanis from Punjab like him brought by this man. Most of them were living illegally for the last many years and thus were unable to go back to Pakistan. My nephew wanted to return back but this man did not help him as the stay of my nephew there was illegal and in case he tried to leave this Khalid Mahmood would also come into grip who brought my nephew. One day it was learnt that an influential victim through some Army senior approached President Musharraf. This Khalid Mahmood was then to be deported from Bahrain. This Khalid Mahmood was then called to the Pakistan Embassy in Bahrain and his bogus passport was taken into custody for deportation. He however used his money and with the help of Pakistani embassy staff ran away and arrived here safely. The FIA in Pakistan had advance information that the passenger Khalid Mahmood arriving on a given flight holding above Pakistani Passport was a fake named man and his true name was M.I s/o R.K. Despite this advance information, the money with more advance speed had reached to Lahore airport FIA. Despite knowing the passenger was in possession of a passport in fake name FIA closed it eyes. Dozens of victims lodged cases with Mandi Bahauddin, Gujranwala, Gujrat, Chakwal police stations but his human smuggling money still is playing. My brother very silently sent one appeal to the Chief Justice how his son suffered. As soon as he posted it came in knowledge of Khalid Mahmood and he told some of his colleagues that he had managed to take it back from there, The area Nazim and Mandi Police Station regularly have their shares. The area Nazim attested his bogus named NDARA application form. He often talked that money works every where the example of which he gives that despite that his bogus passport was in custody of Pakistan Embassy he paid 5,000 Bahrain Dinars to one Embass person. In return he traveled on Outpass issued by Embassy in his real name. This proves true because the building in which Khalid Mahmood was living was a bachelor accommodation full with Pakistanis. They say the Pakistan embassy driver came to the building and took Khalid Mahmood to the Bahrain airport so to avoid any disturbance due to his name at airport on deportation list.
