The Pakistani Spectator

“Rules are for fools”, ‘Might is Right’. After March 9, 2007, every morning people of Pakistan wake up, these statements strike (like a hammers) the minds of millions living here. ‘Justice’ is pleading for justice, ‘Justice’ is pleading for justice, ‘Justice’ is pleading for justice, . . . . . . I am not going to emphasis what the lawyers have done in this movement, how they closed their earning points, how they where beaten, how they were arrested? If our President stays in sun for a week continuously (when temperature is over 48 degree C) in the month of June wearing black coat on Shahrah-e-Dastoor then the nation should withdraw its stance on judiciary issue. More than one year have passed and our senior judges are pleading for the justice. All judges and some senior lawyers supporting them remained prisoners in their homes declared as sub-jails. In recent days, some lawyers like Aitezaz Ahsan (who toppled the President’s reference in the Supreme Court against Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry on 20^th July 2007), Ali Ahmad Kurd, Justice (Retd) Tariq Mehmood etc and a senior judge of supreme court. Our newly elected parties like PML(N), PPP have agreed to the restoration of Judiciary at November 02, 2007 level within the 30 days after 1^st National Assembly session to be held on 17^th March 2008. This date shall start the count down to both the elected members and the President, who wins this time, time to come will tell us. The last time looser (of 20072007) is much anxious this time leaving no stone unturned. In my view, if elected parties are not able to control current issue of nation’s concerns (like inflation, price hike etc) at required level even then they may be termed as successful, if they reinstate the Judiciary including Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry at November 02, 2007. This is the most easiest way to get into the hearts of 160 million Pakistani, what-so-ever the performance of these parties remain till next elections. Choice is much easy for elected political parties, but it’s a tough ask. The match is between a single man and the people of Pakistan. In another post we will discuss the modalities in resolving this issue. They lawyers have done their selfless efforts. No one takes closes his shop to participate even in a welfare job. The lawyers have done a tremendous job. Many salutes and gratitude from the nation. Using the TPS as stage I request to make ‘BLACK FLAG’ a part of lawyers’ coat, to tell our coming nations about their selfless efforts in bid to protect the Rule of Law. Black Coat Zindabad, Pakistan Paindabad.
