  7. دراصل ھمارا سب سے بڑا مسلہ جزباتیت ھے اور ھم لوگ بحیثیت قوم اور انفرادی طور پر بھی ھمیشہ حقیقت سے انکھیں چراتے ھیں۔ شائد اخلاقی جرات کے پیمانے پر ھمارا شمار دنیا کی گھٹیا ترین قوموں میں ھوتا ھو گا۔ ھم۔سب بخوبی جانتے ھیں کہ ھمارے ملک میں کچی ابادیاں کس طرح وجود میں اتی ھیں۔ بڑے شہروں میں مزدوری اور نوکریوں کے لئے انے والے لوگوں کا ایک سلسلہ جاری رھتا ھے اور یہ لوگ ان کچی ابادیوں میں رھنے کے لئے سستی جگہ تلاش کرتے ھیں۔ اہستہ اہستہ یہ کچی ابادیاں غیر قانونی کالونیوں کی شکل اختیار کر لیتی ھیں اور شہر کے وسائل پر بوجھ بننا شروع ھو جاتی ھیں، یہ کچی ابادیاں جرائم پیشہ افراد کی اماجگاہ بن جاتی ھیں اورھر قسم کی سماجی برائیوں کا گڑھ بن جاتی ھیں ۔ ماضی میں اکثر یہ ھوتا ایا ھے کہ مختلف سیاسی جماعتیں اپنے مفاد میں ان ابادیوں کے رھائشیوں کو بحیثیت ووٹر اندراج کروا لیتی ھیں اور پھر کوشش کر کےان ابادیوں کو باقاعدہ ریگولرائز کروا کر ان رھائشیوں کو مالکانہ حقوق دلوا دیتی ھیں۔
