جھنگ کے پرانا محلہ میں رہنے والے اسکول ماسٹر کے ہاں بچے کی ولادت پر کسی کو گمان بھی نہ تھا کہ وہ مستقبل میں کتنا بڑا انسان بنے گا۔ نئی نسل کو شاید ڈاکٹر عبدالسلام کا نام اجنبی لگے مگر دنیا جانتی ہے کہ اس چھوٹے سے محلے میں پرورش پانے والے نوبیل انعام یافتہ سائنسدان نے بڑے بڑے کارنامے سرانجام دیئے۔

اکیس نومبر کو دنیا بھر میں ڈاکٹر عبدالسلام کا یوم وفات منایا جاتا ہے۔ پاکستان کے عالمی شہرت رکھنے والے نوبل انعام یافتہ سائنسدان ڈاکٹر عبدالسلام 29جنوری 1926کو ضلع جھنگ میں محمد حسین کے گھر پیدا ہوئے۔



سال 1979میں انہیں شعبہ طبعیات میں مہارت اور اعلی خدمات سر انجام دینے پر نوبل ا نعام عطا کیا گیا۔ 23 ممالک نے انہیں ڈاکٹر آف سائنس کی اعزازی ڈگریاں بھی دیں۔



وہ یہ اعزاز حاصل کرنے والے پہلے پاکستانی تھے۔ فزکس میں گراںقدر خدمات اور تحقیق پر حکومت پاکستان نے انہیں صدارتی تمغہ برائے حسن کارکردگی، ستارہ امتیاز اور نشان امتیاز کے اعزازات سے بھی نوازا۔ آپ 21نومبر 1996 کو لندن میں وفات پا گئے۔



اگرچہ پاکستان ڈاکٹر عبدالسلام کے علم و دانش سے خاطر ِخواہ فائدہ تو نہیں اٹھا سکا، لیکن سائنس کے میدان میں اُن کی خدمات کو کسی طور بھی پسِ پشت ڈالا نہیں جاسکتا جن کی بنیاد پر سائنس آج بھی نئی دریافتیں کر رہی ہے۔

On This Day: March 23, 1940
The Quaid in a statement appealed to the better mind of the Hindu and other communities to give serious consideration to the Pakistan Resolution as the only way of achieving India’s freedom at an early date. He said:

“I still hope at any rate the better mind of the Hindus will give earnest and serious consideration to our proposals as there lies the achievement of India’s freedom at the earliest possible period. This freedom we shall be able to retain peacefully both internally and externally.”

In 1979, Russian forces invaded Afghanistan. Communism came to the threshold of Pakistan when forces led by Babrak Karmel overthrew the Government of Afghanistan. Some 120,000 Russian troops entered Afghanistan .The Afghan people organized a resistance force against this blatant aggression. The Soviet forces suffered greatly in terms of manpower and material, and the Afghan War proved expensive even for a world power like the Soviet Union.

It has always been said about Afghanistan that it can be invaded and occupied easily but it is very difficult to hold and control it. Afghans have a history of resisting foreign invaders. The British imperial power failed in all three attempts to occupy and control Afghanistan. The Soviets were to learn the same lesson. In the beginning, the Soviet army was successful in occupying and controlling Afghanistan.

General Zia stood against the spread of communism. He reiterated his solution to the Afghanistan crisis in 1983 in New Delhi. He said that Pakistan has given political asylum to millions of Afghans. He demanded the expulsion of Russian forces from Afghanistan. America responded to the call of Pakistan and flooded Pakistan with monetary help to finance the anti-communist regime in Afghanistan and to equip the freedom fighters. The freedom fighters, the mujahideen, put forward a strong resistance to the Russian invasion.
