Judges restored! Now what!?

First of all, congratulations to all Pakistanis for standing up to injustice and making this happen. You all have proved that we, as a nation, can still be united and can do miracles, if need be.

So, the Government has finally gave in and promised to restore the sacked judiciary. Pakistanis through out are celebrating for this great victory. But I see it a bit differnetly.
What people do not realize is that Mr. Zardari has played his cards very well. Although, he initially miscalculated the intensity of protests and reaction of people, but he did play it very smooth. It seems like he lost, but I strongly believe he only made a fool out of us all.

The government only restored the judges and that is it. Neither the President nor the Prime Minister laid out any plan about the current judges who took oath under PCO. If all of our leaders agreed to this restoration plan, that means they are accepting and validating the current Judiciary as "Legal". If they are allowing Mr. Dogar to complete his "legal" term limit and retire, they have already accepted the current Judiciary as legal. So the Long March and all the protest has been thrown out the window...Think about it!!

And, what about the change of Governor in Punjab? What about abolishing 58-2b? What about transferring some powers back to the Prim Minister? What about the deteriorating economy, growing unemployment, poverty, crimes increasing budget deficit etc. The list goes on and on.

This is not a victory to celebrate yet, it is not the end, it is only a start... start of a long journey to make Pakistan a civilized Islamic Nation.. we have a long long long way to go and we need sincere leadership not criminals to lead Pakistan into the next century (yes we still are living in 1990s).

Attack on Cricket

After a long absence from the Blogging world, today I was forced to return due to some recent development in Pakistan.
Since the election of Mr. Zardari as the President of Pakistan, I was so disgusted with Pakistan and its people; I just simply could not figure out why am I so worried about my home country when the people living there do not even care about!? Anyhow this may be a topic for other post.

The current problem we have on our hands is to find the culprits responsible for the attack on Sri Lankan team in Lahore. This is not an attack on our sovereignty but also on our dignity. As a Pakistani I feel so ashamed of myself for letting this happen that I cannot even walk with my head up now.

We are a very hospitable nation and our culture as well as religion teaches us to respect and protect our guests. Our hospitality used to be such that even our enemies felt protected if they came over as guests.
So What changed!! How can we let this happen?

In my opinion whoever attacked Sri-Lankan team were neither Pakistani or Muslims. We know better how to treat our guests. I have a strong feeling that Indian agency RAW is involved here to further destabilize Pakistan. This way they can call on the international community to take control of Pakistan's Nuclear Assets.

It is high time for our government to wake up and at least take five minutes from their daily "Loot Fest" and think about Pakistan. Otherwise, I strongly urge the Military to please save us once more....
