Why Lord Nazir Ahmad should be Removed Immediately

Lord Nazir Ahmad, sitting at one of the highest positions of British politics has continuously ridiculed, not only his own image, but also that of Pakistanis and the UK as well and it is surprising to see how he has not either resigned or removed as of yet.

Offering a £10 million bounty on the head of President of the United States Barack Obama was probably the most illogical and degrading thing he could have done, being in the position that he is. What makes him different from the Taliban and other rebel groups, who also do the same by offering money for the lives of people?

The latest incident is in which he claims that the attack on one of Pakistan’s brightest youngsters, Malala Yousafzai, was an act to discredit the Taliban, but when seeing how the extremist group was quick to accept responsibility for it, finding logic in his words is definitely not easy.

“I don’t know why it happened and one reason could possibly be there’s an operation in Waziristan [which] may possibly be on the cards or some other sort of action,” Nazir said in the video while talking in a meeting in London, adding, “It could have also been to build and increase public opinion and support in favour of a Waziristan operation and God forbid, she could have been caught as a tool in that conspiracy.”

He also claims that it was just a normal incident of killing, which happens everywhere around the world and should not have created so much hype. Well Lord Nazir Ahmad, it was obviously an attempt to kill, which certainly does happen around the world, but Malala just was not any ordinary girl. She is a role model to many women around Pakistan, some of whom are still oppressed by extremists around the country and making statements like these only boosts the motivation of such mindsets.

The hype was not all about Malala, but instead about a way of thinking. Liberation from oppression, breaking out of the cage and actually becoming a productive member of society. Our government and armed forces are not so stupid to have put the life of a young girl at stake to rake public favour on an operation, they can do it whenever deemed necessary. She continued to live in that place due to the government ordered operation there, which had made the lives of hundreds of thousands of people better in ways never thought possible.

Lord Nazir continues to fool people with his illogical and incoherent statements, which should be put to a stop. Not only for himself, but also the Pakistan community, which unfortunately have him as a representative in the British House of Lords.
