9/11. Not just about World Trade Center

11 September a day to remember for everyone, especially for us, the Pakistanis, because this was day when every news channel on this planet turned their cameras on us and put us on the focus. If you go around the street and ask any person regardless of their age and class, that what happened on 11th September? The first answer you gonna hear is " Oh that world trade center thing". But is that what happened actually on that day? Nope, don't worry i am not here to give my points about the authenticity of the incident or to argue about the involvement of someone else but Al-Qaeeda.
My point is that being a nation, an independent one (although in many cases we are not) should we forget our founder, who brought freedom to us. 11 September, when our Father of the Nation, Quaid-e-Azam, Mohammad Ali Jinnah, Died. But how many of us actually remembered it? We do celebrate 14th August, when we got independence. But do we mourns on the day of his death? I saw a tv channel was showing live telecast of the ceremony from the Ground Zero (Where world trade center used to be) and Pentagon, but that channel didn't run a single documentary about Quaid-e-Azam or any news related to it. Newspapers were filled with the political news and abuses, accidents, crimes and gang wars. I saw other day, a local newspaper, published a supplement to mark the 1 year of President Asif Ali zardari. But they didn't reserved half of their page to mentioned the loss of nation, it suffered after Jinnah death.

Does he really deserve this all? Don't we have a single patriotic in the whole country? We give, bribe, money, gifts and other incentives to please some one in power, in order to get promotion or illegal help. But can't we help him, whose grandfather actually helped us. Can't we just repay for all the things Jinnah did.
