**********************************


جناب عبید اللہ علوی اور جناب طارق نواعباسی ۔۔۔۔زقومی و سرکل  بکوٹ کی صحافت کے وہ قطبی ستارے ہیں جن کی متعین راستہ پر چلتے چلتے کٸی نووارد صحافت کے میدان میں نام کما چکے ہیں۔ یہ دونوں شخصیات زمانہ صحافت کے اس دور سے تعلق رکھتیں ہیں ، جب صحافت پیشہ و طاقت نہیں بلکہ ایک مشن سمجھا جاتاتھا ۔۔۔۔۔ سرکل بکوٹ کے عام آدمی کے لٸے قلمی جہاد کرتے کرتے یہ دونوں اب اپنی بزرگی کی عمر میں سنجیدگی و متانت کی سرحد پہ قدم رنجہ ہیںاوران دونوں حضرات کی شخصیت ہر دو مختلف، مگر پروفیشنل ازم و کمٹمنٹ مشترکہ ہے۔
جناب علوی صاحب دھیما لحجہ ،متانت و صبر سے لبریز اپنے ٹارگٹ پہ عقاب کی طرح نظر رکھے ہوتے ہیں اورجب شکار لےکر اڑ جاتے ہیں تو پیچھے شورشرابہ اٹھتا ہے۔ان کے بالمقابل طارق نواز عباسی سامنے سے جھپٹتے ہیں اور بالکل دھڑلے سے اپنا شکار اٹھا کے لے اڑتے ہیں۔
ادبی زوق سے بھرپور عبید اللہ علوی کی تحریر زاٸقہ سے بھرپور اور قاری کیلٸے چاشنی سے بھرپور ہوتی ہے تو طارق نواز کے تیر کی طرح نوک دار الفاظ قاری کی سوچوں و خیالوں میں پیوست ہوکر اسے اضطراب و تبدیلی کی طرف راغب کرتے ہیں۔اب یہ دونوں کی اپنی صحافت کی جارحانہ و محتاط ملی جلی اننگز انتہاٸی سبک رفتاری سے کھیل رہے ہیں۔ اسے خوش قسمتی کہیں یا بدقسمتی ان دونوں حضرات کا تعلق کوفہ سے مماثل علاقہ سے ہے جہاں قحط الرجال کا دوردورہ  ہے ۔جہاں پیسہ و عہدہ اور بلند مقام کو سلام اور ادبی و علمی لوگوں کے لٸے دلوں میں جگہ کم پاٸی جاتی ہے۔ اور میر جن کے سبب بیمار ہوٸے اسی عطار سے دوا لینے کے مصداق لوگ اسی چڑھتے سورج کو سیلوٹ مارتے ہیں۔
علوی صاحب و طارق صاحب جیسے لوگ یقینا ظلم و ناانصافی کے خلاف ایک استعارہ ہیں جو وقت کے فرعون کے خلاف قلمی عصا لے کے کھڑے ہوتے ہیں ۔ اور قوت للکار تو اس عمر میں بھی زندہ و پاٸندہ ہے۔اس کے علاوہ سرکل بکوٹ کا ایک بڑا نام جناب نوید اکرم عباسی ہے جنہوں نے عوامی مفاد کے لٸے ایک صحافی کے طور پر طویل جہدوجہد کی اور مقامی وساٸل کے تحفظ کیلٸے ہمیشہ آواز بلند کی ۔شعبہ صحافت کے چاند جناب اے ڈی عباسی اور اشتیاق عباسی شہزاد عباسی بھی طویل اننگز کھیلتے ہوٸے ابھی پچ پر موجود ہیں۔جناب عاطف ستی کی معلومات سے بھرپور تحریریں بھی عوامی راٸے عامہ ہموار کرنے کیلٸے معاون ثابت ہوتیں ہیں۔جناب عتیق عباسی بھی اپنی جرآت کے اعتبار سے علاقے کی صحافت میں ایک الگ مقام بنایا۔ بلال بسیر سرکل بکوٹ کے صحافتی گلشن کا خوشبودار پھول ہے ۔جس کی مہک ہم یقینا محسوس کرتے ہیں ۔جمیل عباسی اور خطیب عباسی خاور تنویر عباسی، جبران عباسی اور جنید قیوم بھی صحافت کے آسمان پر چمکتے نٸے ستارے ہیں جن کی ٹمٹماہٹ اور روشنی سرکل بکوٹ کی حسین وادیوں کو آٸندہ ادوار میں بھی منور رکھے گی ۔
نوید اکرم عباسی نے ۔۔۔۔۔ سرکل بکوٹ کے صحافیوں  ۔۔۔۔ کچھ دیگر ناموں کا اضاففہ کرتے ہوئے لکھتے ہیں کہ ۔۔۔۔ صحافت کے میدان کے سرکل بکوٹ کے مجاہدوں کے نام باقی دوستوں سے شئیر کرنا چاہتا ہوں جن میں شمس عباسی صاحب بکوٹ سجاد عباسی صاحب گروپ ایڈیٹر امت راولپنڈی نیاز عباسی صاحب ایوبیہ والے حال امریکہ اقبال ساغر صاحب سہیل عباسی جمیل احمد جمیل محترم عبدالرؤف محمدی صاحب محترم عبدالقدوس محمدی صاحب فدا عباسی صاحب ایڈیٹرروزنامہ کائنات کراچی فیصل عباسی اینکر 92ٹی وی عادل عباسی صاحب اینکر ARY ظفیر عباسی صاحب بیروٹ ۔صہیم عباسی صاحب جاپان بیروٹ ۔حنان علی عباسی بکوٹ خورشید عباسی صاحب ایڈیٹر انچیف نوائے ہزارہ بکوٹ ۔نظار عباسی صاحب بیروٹ عبدالواحد عباسی صاحب مہربان عباسی صاحب ملکوٹ شاہد عباسی صاحب کلیم عباسی صاحب بھن چوہدری سلطان صاحب سنگریڑی مشتاق عباسی
