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).

ReplyDeletegood job and very well written ... its good to see someone even thinking abt his country, in such testing times when we are only worried abt our own survival, we pakistanies as muslims are surrounded by so many threats. many of us in pakistan feel "why pakistan why not some other muslim country facing such threats" . I say to them cuz we are the only country with the nuclear capability, secondly we have the missile technology to hit our greatest enimies (in dont have to name them). so they all realize this and consider us as a threat. what we need rite now is one leader like Hazrat Umar Bin Khataab to take us out of this difficult situation.
Armaghan keep up the godd work and remember us in your prayers!
