Put yourself in the shoes of Shahzeb Khan's parents - you've just come back from your daughter's valima and you get a call saying your son has been shot dead.
You rush to the hospital hoping against hope, the family members still dressed in their lehngas and suits are there, the bride and the groom did not even get time to change.
This is just the beginning of a decade of heartbreak.
Shazeb Khan was shot in cold blood. His car was pursued by two monsters who shot him 4 times. A 21 year old boy who was his parent's only son.
And for what?
Because he asked Talpur's guards not to harass his sister. How dare a common man stand up for himself against the overlords of this country?
That was enough for him to call Shahrukh Jatoi and for those two to murder Shazeb Khan in the middle of a lawless Karachi street.
Journalist Saad Hasan writes about how during his last days Shazeb Khan's father would wear his dead son's tattered clothes and walk barefoot on the streets of Karachi.
This country not only took his son, it gave him no justice, it took away his hope - for ten years the case was in the courts with Shahzeb's parents being continuously harassed.
They caved. Who wouldn't have? And what did we do? Started spreading rumours that they took money.
I wouldn't be surprised if the old man simply died of heartbreak.
Where do we begin to trace everything that went wrong for this to happen?
How do people feel they have the power to shoot someone in the streets?
Why do they feel even their guards are free to harass any woman they want?
Is it Patriarchy? Is it Chauvinism? Is it Feudalism? What hurt their ego so much to see a boy stand up for his sister?
Who made Karachi this lawless?
Who brought all this ammunition into Pakistan?
Who benefits from keeping feudals and electables in Pakistan?
Most people do what they always do, find the political party they hate the most, abuse them and go to sleep till tomorrow when this happens again.
Just a few cases get the media attention but lets be honest this happens everyday in Karachi. Those in power feel they are free to shoot down those without. Rob them of their homes, their lands, and even their families.
And we all stand by and watch the show - more concerned about which political party wins a stupid by-election.
Here is the truth most of you are not ready to accept because simplistic explanations feel more soothing - no messiah will bring you freedom, especially not the one you think.
All the elite mainstream political parties are a cabal - they are in cahoots with the Establishment. They use the public to come into power but at the end of the day the elite protect the interests of the elite.
PPP was in power, Sindh Police was under them, Shahrukh Jatoi allegedly hid in the Governor house which had a MQM Governor, Shahrukh Jatoi's father was allied with Musharaf, his uncle is the General Secretary for Sindh for PTI, his cousin is a PTI ticket holder.
The lawyers who got him free are PPP's Latif Khosa and PTI's Babar Awan - these parties tell us that the other party members are not even fit to sit with but when it comes to protecting one of their own, they all come together.
And I don't think I can say anything honest about the judiciary here without getting a contempt of court notice - I'll just say this farcical trial and judgment is a contempt of the entire idea of justice.
An idea completely out of reach for the common Pakistan. This is not a failure of the system, this is the system at work, the system is designed by the elite to protect the elite, it is not a system for the many but for the few.
The diyaat law was brought in by Zia-ul-Haq loyalists, Islamic scholars will argue that it doesn't apply in cases of wilful murder but what Islam says doesn't matter in Pakistan, what matters is how the state uses Islam for its advantage - now that deeyat is seen as an Islamic law it is above criticism, and whether it is Shahrukh Jatoi, Kashmala Tariq's sons or Raymond Davis, the state ensures the powerful are kept safe by using the law.
Since nobody else will - I will say it -the law needs to change. Families cannot forgive the murderer when doing so endangers the entire public, this is not just a crime against a person, this is a crime against the state.
But where do we argue that when it is the state that stands against the people to protect the powerful? What can one feel but hopelessness?
Everyday this country finds a new way to break your heart, and today we are all heartbroken.

"Everyday this country finds a new way to break your heart." That is so true!

Welcome to Islamic Republic of Pakistan 🇵🇰 where Islam and republic both works for you if you are NOT a common man.

I got goosebumps when you said his father used to wear his son's dress it reminded me of my Nana he used to do the same and during his last days he was mentally unstable and jumped before train and commited suicide . My Mama was killed by his cousin brothers for land dispute.
Bhai this is the story of sooo many people in Karachi... So much injustice.
Pakistan ki unjust society.
Thanks a lot for talking about this.
I found Shahrukh Jatoi’s lawyer Latif Khosa’s statement in court astounding that his clients had no intention of spreading terror. As if that’s all it takes to acquit someone from terrorism charges.
Shehzad beta, it’s sad beyond words. It has been like this for a long time. I have personally seen the justice system fail my father and my family . The laws favour only the strong and powerful. I feel sad, angry and bitter at the same time. And feel like this every time this happens. And this is a common occurrence. I have left Pakistan but not everyone can. And even here the pain is still in me. And it will be with me as long as I am alive.
The fact that you could speak so much on this gut-wrenching topic and said volumes more than many could. Thanks for all your help. There are no words anyone can say to Shahzeb's family. To say "Allah will bring him justice" seems so futile when an entire family was destroyed. And you are right about the system being designed for the elite, by the elite.
There's no justice. Just like a lione eats a horn.
There is no allah. If you want justice you must create it on earth.
Very true.
Jazakallah for your convictions and efforts.
I salute you to highlight the perspective. Thankyou.
Thank u for this shahzad. Thank u for speaking up,
Very apt bro you've raised all of the right questions 👍👍
thnks for standing with humans 😢 really sad today again u make us rethink
I never saw a man such heartbreaking and holding tears in his throat, also having tears in my eyes. Pta nhi kis mou say kho k "himmat rkho".
I've stopped expecting the State to provide solutions and I do not think a top-down perspective of social and cultural transformation is viable in Pakistan. The only change (which is much more arduous and excruciating) that can be expected is from the mass of civil society. The citizens of Pakistan are in a hostile and abusive relationship with the State and no amount of wishful thinking will change that. I left Pakistan 2 years ago precisely for this reason because unless you have a lot of money, have connections or relatives who have political capital, you and your family are one incident away from annihilation. I miss home terribly but I do not want to experience the heartbreak that Shahrukh Jatoi's victims are going through.
You are doing a fabulous job. I have never commented on any post ever . Have been following you for a while and while didn’t like your earlier content and don’t agree with you on everything , have grown to respect your authenticity . Keep up the good work
Thank you so much for echoing the crys of "have nots" from your platform, Thank you
Need more monologues like this from you. Make it a series.
Kudos to your himmat and perseverance, unfortunately there is no light at the end of this tunnel.
Thankyou for saying this Shehzad. Lovely to see you encapsulate all the varying viewpoints captured on TPE during the years into this heartfelt message. I completely agree with you. Can’t find much to be optimistic about anymore.
Bhai Apna is issue pa Awaz Uthai Thanku So Much Love You
We will see His Royal Highness Shahrukh Jatoi in parliament one day, just wait and see.
Thanks for this. Its a travesty. Im appalled at the level of injustice thats is worsening.
Kudos to you for saying this. May Allah give you more power and courage.
Returned from overseas to contribute the homeland but the situation is compelling to move back
It breaks a heart into a million pieces..you put it well bro 😒
The worst is still to happen on this land of the so-called "Pures". 😟
@@ThePakistanExperience @Shehzad it saddens me to say this as well, almost every person I have come across personally and popular YT personalities have started to say this verbally loud and clear that it is time to pack up your bags and leave this good for nothing country once for an all.
just goosebumps !!
Very sad. No words to explain why and until when
Agree with you!!
totally agree with you sir
This is heart breaking. No justice will be served in this country.

You are doing great service for your beautiful nation....
You r true face of Pakistan
Well said, it's Us vs Them
Depressing 💔💔
Terrible ,so sad, it's heartbreaking 😓😢
No words, feeling so ashamed.
BELIEVE ALLAH will prevail justice.
Thanks Shehzad fir bravely bringing up this story. Very heart wrenching reality.. it’s a slap on the face of judiciary and state as such. You asked “kisko gaaliyaan De ?” .. give it to the usual suspects : Modi BJP India. It seems to work because it’s easy and brings gratification ..!
Pakistan Zindabad
Can’t even type anything as tears rolling down my eyes 😢.. sitting in Canada thinking of going back home one day to serve it.. now seems “ek deewanay ka khawaab”
It’s sooo heartbreaking… I wish we could save ourselves before Allah mian unleash His wrath upon us as an unjust society!!!
Ya’Allah Reham!!!
Don't even think about coming back..make your home there and never come back 🙏
Islamic kanoon zindabad
I agree with every single word you said! This system is working for those it was made for!
Thank you for saying all this Shehzad. Each and every word in this video is true.. sadly.
Ye wali podcasts karo na jani, great work
undoubtedly, You summed it up well, The system is designed to protect the elite, the untouchables in this country. When the news of Shahzaib's father signing a peace deal with Jatoi's came up a few years back, some of us were convinced that the system is working to protect untouchables. This case was gone in favor of criminals since then. They made his father yield and he ultimately yielded (thanks to the broken society we have become).
A murder is a murder and should be punished under the law like the rest of the world does, it shouldn't matter if the family forgives the murderer. This is a loop hole in our system.
Thank you for the fact "they all are SAME", or ye hua isky bd kuch or hoga tweets hngi condolsence hoga or do dn bd phr se apni apni survival or chillings start ...
The sad reality is what you stated; the system worked as its designed to work.
If you can leave this country please leave it this is the best thing you can do for your family and your self.
Beshak beshak
great video brother thanks for some very relevant ideas to think on
Subcontinent's system reflects subcontinent's culture. We don't believe in individual rights , we believe in patriarchy.
It's heartbreaking!!! No one can justify this inhuman act!!!! I'm a PPP supporter but seriously I'm ashamed and disappointed in nazim jokhio's and Shaziab's cases!!💔💔
@@ThePakistanExperience Indeed!!
Being a lawyer I agree with u....
i love democracy as my school of thought but i left pakistan a so called democracy and start living in middle east kingdom under monarchy to get rid of which i really dont like to live under monarchy but a low income family its nothing for me there to live in pakistan. 😢
thanks shahzad bhai,...you want to know how much the system is rotten,study sharukh jatoi case,asma rani case,qandeel baloch case,.......or even ali wazir case....shahzaib´s face😭😭
We have to stand on our rights
True image of the country
Very true saying k system fail ni hua system sai work kr rha for these fews
"Rule of law" is the basic that seems missing in Subcontinent. We need to raise our voice collectively to free ourselves from enslavement of religion, society and state. World is innovating and we still lives in mediaeval era where lives are on discretion of powerful.
The weaponisation of Karachi started with Bhutto, then made worse by MQM and then made even worse by Zulfiqar Mirza and PPP.
@@ThePakistanExperience Yes, forgot to mention Zia in this.
Step back a little from the situation and I ask people a hypothetical question. Had Shahzaib murdered anyone of us instead, under the same circumstances, how likely would our families have gotten justice given the fact that Shahzaib himself belonged to a much more powerful family than most of us. I honestly believe, even FIR against Shahzaib would not have been registered ! Whether it is a dispute with your tenant or neighbor, or the disputes on the national level. Whoever has greater capacity to wage violence, gets desired result in a dispute. The constitution and laws of Pakistan work overtime to achieve the results desired by the person or gang who commands greater capacity to wage violence.
Thanks for being honest … coming from your heart and ours, we are in an elite trap, laws have been made to let these guys go …
I pray for your safety
This is very unjust and spirit of the law has been demolished. I hope God will find a way to give justice for Shahzeb's family. That thug kid who shot Shahzeb with premeditated murder should be under life imprisonment in jail where he could get up every day and think about what he had done and why he would never see the light of day in his life. That would be justice. My heart breaks for Pakistan and normal Pakistanis from Florida.
YESSS
It is not that the law has failed. Case has ended as per law. This law needs to be changed.
شہزاد بیٹے ! تم نے جس دکھ اور مایوسی کے ساتھ یہ پروگرام کیا ہے اس نے مجھ سمیت بہت لوگوں کی آنکھوں کو نمدیدہ کیا ہوگا ۔ بہت سچائی اور جرات کے ساتھ اپنے خیالات اور جذبات کا اظہار کیا ہے ۔ لیکن اپنا خیال بھی رکھنا ہو گا ۔
Everyday this country finds new way to break your heart. 😶
To all the common people, Please leave Pakistan if you can.
It is heartbreaking indeed. Reading the news, do we know why the victim’s parents gave a formal pardon letter or bayan e halfi to the murderer?
pressure. There is no other way about it.
ایک سخت موقف اپنانے پر شکریہ، ویلڈن برو
harsh reality ,but only power speak in our society
Horrifying. Our courts are becoming a circus.
very sad yar😞😞😞 , what should I say
💔
Aey Chand Yahan Na Nikala Kar,
Be-Naam Se Sapnay Dikha Kar,
Yahan Ulti Ganga Behti Hai,
Is Dais Mein Andhay hakim Hain,
Na Dartay Hain Na Nadim Hain,
Na Logon K woh Khadim Hain,
Hai Yahan Par Karobar Buhat,
Is Desh Mein Gurday Bikhtay hain,
Kuch Log Hain Aali Shan Buhat,
Aur Kuch Ka Maqsad Roti Hai,
Woh Kehtay Hain Sab Aacha Hai,
Megrib Ka Raj Hi Sacha Hai,
Yeh Dais hai Andhay Logon Ka,
Aey Chand Yahan na Nikala Kar......
This poetry by Habib Jaleb sahib holds soo true to the current dire state of our country. I for once thought that I would never leave my homeland, I would serve my people as a medical professional but with a heavy heart I must admit I am left with no other option
Give guns to every one and let ppl own their justice.
I'm sorry Shahzeb. Me and my country failed you mate and I'm sorry for that. I know sorry is very small word but i don't have anything except prayers for you.
💔💔
Shehzad I have difference of opinion in many things brother but today I wanna say to hell with it and I agree with you
You are an exceptionally bright, rational & young man! The likes of you must come together, stand up & fight like hell for as long as it takes!!!
There is no, repeat no other way!!!
We have failed since long we are realising it just now.
So sad so sad so sad.. Allah pochne in logon ko
💔💔💔
I don't agree with ur opinions, but on this case I'm totally with you! My blood is boiling since I have heard this news.
This podcast team is brave to question islam being in Pakistan
What will become of our country, depressed af :(
v.well said n delivered Ghiyas. May Allah be with the innocents of Pak. why the Clergy & Mullas doesn't protest for these victims. #relgioushypocricy
Mullahs are at the payroll of elite. There job is to protect the powerful and keep common people weak, guilty & in fear using religion to avoid any kind of revolt. Also they recruit gullible youth to be used as cannon fodder for the adventures of military Generals in neighbouring countries.
since my childhood i have seen only lawlessness in karachi
Hamari tamam hamdadi shazab Khan ka gar walo ka sath hain
Everyday this country finds a new way to break your heart,
I wonder, How can someone expect justice in Pakistan?
My grandfather was murdered and his killer was acquitted by court by justifying it as " Suboot ki adam dastyabi" (Insufficient Evidence).
Despite the fact that he himself gave a statement at his last moments to police about the murderer.
What choice do we have ?
You are absolutely right that majority of Sindhis are suffering and not all of them are spoiled feudal lords. But you can’t deny the fact they want to have their pain and sufferings eased by only some Sindhi Messiah. Are they ready to support some non-Sindhi against their Sindhi PPP brothers. Most likely not.
Such a sad state of affairs. Justice system is a joke in the country.
Aj shram arhi hai k main pakistani hon 🖐🖐🖐🖐💔💔💔
I wish every single Pakistani watches this video.
Chutiyapa
Bc feudal lords clear influence hai, It’s a complete system
Pakistan ko bad dua lagi hai un logo ki jo bila kasoor o khata maare ja rahe the 1947 me, sarhad k dono taraf, ek paagal aadmi k junoon ki wajah se...
Duniya se jaate huye haaye laga k gaye hain wo 10 lakh log aap k mulk ko (us pr irony ye k unhe pata b nahi tha kyu maare ja rahe hain)...
Fateh Mohd Khan
totally agree .
hatred pea bana huva religion or countrey ka ya hi hal hona tha .
i dont even have smpathey for a zombie countrey and zombies liveing there .
Paisa Le Liye ya Jo bhi Kiya maaf Kiya lekin State ka Kaam ha ke Saza Dee.
"Rang de basanti" dekhi hai? Ab ek he Hal hai
GOD left this place a long time ago
Next headline will be that Zahir jaffer walks free .......😡
Hate to be the harbinger of bad news but the trajectory we are traversing, all that’s happening now will look like a trailer in the not so distant future
So do something about it.
