Facts that shook Pakistan
In 2014 a microchip was inserted in my body by USA (CIA) and
India
(RAW) through the Ministry of External Affairs of India. Insertion of this chip
was requested by Pakistan (ISI).
How ISI officials disclosed to RAW and CIA about nuclear assets locations, their support to Taliban and Al Qaida and other similar things
It was fall for Pakistan. USA, India
and Pakistan
were engaged through live conversations. The Pakistani participants were ISI
officials. USA was
represented by CIA and India
by RAW. This happened during April to November 2016. ISI official from Pakistan
Army’s Signal Corps officer Sahib Khan suddenly told Indian emotionally that an
ISI official, a colonel in posted near Parachinar of Pakistan tribal areas gave
refuge to Afghan Taliban.
Our detention
It was a summer morning in 2014
when I woke up and found that my upper body was undressed. I along with my wife
Fatima were giving a protest demonstration in Delhi and use to sleep those days
on a roadside at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi. Someone later that day told us
that a gadget (chip) has been inserted in my and my wife Ghulam Fatima’s body
and my every movement would be recorded. I laughed and said nice joke!
An action and thought in exile
Zulfiqar Shah (Sindhi ذوالفقار شاہ Hindiजुल्फिकार शाह) is civil rights activist, journalist and writer of Sindhi origin. He was forced by Pakistan Army to unlawfully leave the country and close down The Institute for Social Movements, Pakistan in May 2012. He resettled in Nepal where UNHCR approved him refugee status. In Kathmandu, he started freelancing with the newspapers and websites on the issues of Pakistan particularly concerning Sindh and Balochistan. He was insurrected in his house in Kathmandu and was given heavy metal poison by Pakistani intelligence agency ISI with local facilitation; however he was rescued by the local doctors. He was forced to leave Nepal, thus he left for Pakistan on December 2013. In Pakistan, he again was persecuted and threatened to be killed. He went India for medical treatment on February 11, 2014, where he was not only denied appropriate health treatment on behalf of Pakistan High Commission in Delhi, but also was harassed by the high commission officials. He, along his wife Fatima Shah, gave a protest sit-in for 285 days near Indian Parliament house against Pakistan High Commission and its facilitation by the Indian authorities. Read more on Wikipedia

Away from home, dreaming of freedom
For Fatima Siyal Shah, a Pakistani Sindhi refugee in Delhi,
her husband Zulfiqar Shah is the world. “Often, I wish I could go back
to my land but then I look at him and think, what he would do without
me,” she says. Sitting cross-legged on a borrowed bed and assembled
bedding in a small dingy room in Delhi’s Sultanpuri, she talks about missing her family in Pakistan but cannot think of going back. “My conscience doesn’t allow me to leave him,” she says.

your motherland is not an easy decision, but people are forced by the
circumstances to do so. Zulfiqar Siyal Shah and his wife Fatima Siyal
Shahis, a Pakistani couple from Dadu district of Sindh province, now
stay in a two-room squalid in North West Delhi's Sultanpuri area. No,
its not a choice that they made, they were forced to leave their country
for raising voice against injustice done to the people. Read in Indiatimes
In exile in India, Pakistan couple dream of independent Sindh
Zulfiqar Shah, 39, in his small, dingy room in New Delhi, India, is
hoping against hope that Pakistan's Sindh province will be free one day.

Pakistan, life has come to a standstill for him. He has no friends or
relatives to visit, no one to socialise with, life for him means waiting
for another day to pass. Read on Wionews
पाकिस्तानी हिंदुओं का सबसे बड़ा मसीहा है ये मुसलमान
शम्स ताहिर खान[Edited By: मुकेश कुमार]
सरहद के उस पार से ज्यादातर आतंक और नफऱतों में लिपटी कहानियां ही इधर आती हैं. मगर इस बार कहानी जुदा है और चोट थोड़ी गहरी. पाकिस्तान में पैदा हुए और पले-बढ़े एक पाकिस्तानी मुसलमान की कहानी है ये. एक ऐसे पाकिस्तानी मुसलमान की जो हाल के वक्त में पाकिस्तान में रहने वाले हिंदुओं का सबसे बड़ा मसीहा था. वो पाकिस्तान में रहने वाले हिंदुओं और ईसाइयों को भी इंसान और इंसानियत के चश्मे से देखने लगा था. बस उसकी इसी गलती की उसे ऐसी सज़ा मिली कि बस पूछिए मत.

Birds without tree!
Scarlet of the dancing girl
is about to set off,
Jesus! Why don’t you wake up in
me?
A river that has curve at
daunting peaks,
Will submerge one day with
heavens at the Sea.
O love, your venom is a fogy
mystery,
That always insurrects the
hamlet of the Jogi.
They say, storms always divert
doves to the stranger lands;
Forgetting that winds happen to
be colorless,
And sky always courteous to
birds without tree!
(By Zulfiqar Shah)

Questions without Answers
I have some serious questions concerning our years long persecution (2007-2015 in Pakistan, Nepal and India) particularly during 2011-2015. I know, none is there to reply these questions, yet asking questions is a matter of high importance:
Drink party in Madersha, Lashkar-e-Tayyaba and more
There are
so many incidents I encountered during the years long persecution, which in
fact has not yet ended.
Dirty tricks of persecution – a brief
The nightmare is not over yet. I have been continuously abused in the area I am living in.
Making of an Idiot!
Humans fall apart. Wise cannot
exist. Idiots rein everywhere.
What happened? Fatima asked. I
told her a story around me. The story was an organized and systematic attempt
to make me an idiot. Why they want to make you an Idiot? She cried. One million
dollar question, I replied.
Nuclear bomb and my persecutors
There are some questions in my mind. I don’t have answers. I am just in search of them.
Conversations and Controversies
I have undergone miseries. I am
in the eye of storm. There are so many things, controversies and disclosures,
which yet I have to make public.
