A Dictaror is one animal who needs to be caged: ZAB

The dictator is the one animal who needs to be caged; He betrays his profession and his constitution. He betrays the people and destroys human values. He destroys culture. He binds the youth. He makes the structure collapse. He rules by fluke and freak. He is the scourge and the ogre. He is a leper. Anyone who touches him also becomes a leper. He is the upstart who is devoid of ideals and ideology. Not a single one of them has made a moment’s contribution to history - ZAB

Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto a controversial, mercurial, enigmatic, charismatic, politician who himself was killed by Pakistan Army and a American backed Dictator General Zia ul Haq; 30 Years after his death, continues to talk to Pakistan.

After prolonged deliberations, Pakistan’s major political parties which form the ruling collation has decided to move an impeachment motion against self styled ‘President’ and American backed dictator of Pakistan, this must not be a surprise that weak and undeceive political leadership which has faced media-trials, character assassination campaigns by agencies, prisons and exiles have gathered the courage to stand against powerful establishment and a dictator who still holds the power to dissolve the parliament, as, at a certain stage democratic government are unable to take the public pressure and take decisions to avoid the public hostility, despite the fact that these political parties are deteriorating and lack the visionary leader ship because of continuous military rules which survives on destruction of political institutions.But the real surprised came moments after the collation parties announced their decision to impeach the dictator in a press conference. “Musharraff’s impeachment is an internal affair of Pakistan’, United States of America responded. Historically, US administrations have never been willing to review their foreign policy towards a nation where they have an economic interest or political, geo-military strategic and ideological reasons, no matter what heinous crimes were being committed or detrimental socio-economic policies were being implemented by their puppet dictators, and despite massive protests by the people of the country in question against such dictators the US continued financing and supporting them, the criminal silence of US government on imposition of emergency and dismissal of superior judiciary by General Musharraff is prime example of dictatorship friendly policies of United States.

For decades, the United States has backed the military dictators who have ruled Pakistan. Whether in the name of containing Communism or fighting terrorism, the well-being of the people of the sixth most populated country in the world has been of little concern to Washington policy makers, despite his well-documented human rights abuses, destruction of judicial institutions, torture and kidnapping of journalists, brutal use of force against civil society and lawyers, the Pakistani general, a butcher for his own people and a pet for US has been repeatedly praised by America’s political, academic, and media elites in past. Bush had commended Musharraff’s “courage and vision” while Negroponte told the recent House panel that the dictator was “a committed individual working very hard in the service of his country.” and US has a history of setting up and backing corrupt dictators to serve her agenda, Shah of Iran, Saddam, Ayub Khan, Yahya Khan, Suharto, and Osama Bin Laden, not to mention many South American countries and Middle East, all of them were ‘reliable US allies’ at some point of time.

People of Pakistan clearly understand that the United States shares responsibility for their repression through its unconditional support of the Army dictatorship that denies them their own freedom, the U.S. government’s problem with Pakistan is similar to the one it had with Iran in 1979. The U.S. government placed Iranian Shah in power, which extinguished the rising flames of democracy which resulted in a populist Islamic revolution and extreme anti-American sentiment. Iranian Shah who was equally faithful to God Almighty and US, “I OWE my throne to God, my people, my army - and to you,” sobbed a grateful Shah of Iran to Kermit Roosevelt in August 1953, he massacred thousands of Iranians to prove his loyalty to US and while facing a revolution against him, the Shah of Iran sought help from the United States, Iran occupied a strategic place in U.S. foreign policy toward the Middle East, acting as an island of stability and a buffer against Soviet penetration into the region, the Shah was told that the United States would “back him to the hilt.” At the same time, certain high-level officials in the State Department decided that the Shah had to go, regardless of who replaced him, once ousted Shah traveled from country to country for a shelter, after a short stay for his treatment in US, he was told to leave the country.

“I don’t panic, I am not scared. I have faced death many times. Last time was when I was 7 minutes away from death on Oct 12 1999. I am only scared of God. God has brought me to this point. God has chosen me for leading this country. He will protect and help me.” Musharraff a brutal dictator describes his vision and mission claiming to be chosen by God just ten days after he dismissed a government chosen by people of Pakistan.

To be chosen by God is clearly different form being chosen by CIA and backed by a powerful imperialist state which can push smaller and less powerful countries in to economic and military collapse, whose president claimed that he was “told” by God to attack Iraq and remove Saddam Hussein, once a reliable ally of United States. The shift in US policy clearly indicates that policymakers in Washington has realized the intensity of hatred they have earned by backing another dictator in Pakistan and want to avoid a backlash similar to their foreign policy failure in Iran.

The decision of impeachment of Musharraff seems to be taken after US has decided to pull back its support; the outcome of impeachment motion will be subject to his ability to re-negotiate terms with Washington, however as history suggests that once a dictator becomes a responsibility, US is going to treat him like Shah of Iran.

Will Musharraff be able to get shelter in US, after he is ousted is not difficult to imagine, most probably he will become another Shah of Iran, another leper, no body is willing to touch a leper. A painful example for other US backed dictators.The dictator is the one animal who needs to be caged, this is time for Musharraff, others will follow him!

AN OPEN LETTER TO MRS. PERVEZ MUSHARRAFF

Dear Begum Pervez Musharaff,

I recognize that every one of us is responsible for our own acts, as such, being the wife of a Military Dictator and a former General of Pakistan Army, I wound not hold you responsible for his acts, however I will request you to consider following facts on humanitarian grounds being a women and a mother yourself.

As you know very well, your husband General Pervez Musharraff belonged to a lower middle class family, with limited resources and opportunities, however this nation provided him an opportunity and he became the Chief of Army Staff of fourth strongest army in world, no doubt, it is a great honor for any one, especially an army of a third world Muslim country where a common Pakistani travelling in a public bus would offer his seat as a token of respect when he see a man in Army uniform, a conductor will refuse to charge him bus fair and a poor roadside restaurant owner would refuse to accept the payment for his meal, I have witnessed tears in eyes of soldier’s when they get this much love and respect from people of Pakistan.

It’s not difficult to understand the feelings of people towards our armed forces, the men in uniform are supposed to defend our borders, our women and children.Unfortunately, your husband blinded by greed for more power forgot about this love and respect towards the institution he was heading and dismissed a democratically elected government, this was a crime punishable by death under constitution but his seven point agenda was so appealing that most of educated and moderate Pakistani’s supported him after takeover in a military coup and took him as a savior of Pakistan.

He did not turned much different from other dictators in world; he has destroyed each and every institution in country right from Pakistan Army itself to Judiciary and committed biggest economic frauds in history of Pakistan, people who were expecting a developed and moderate Pakistan under his rule are worried about a decent meal a day and afraid to go out of homes because of bomb blasts in every street, while they stay at home there is power outage, but let’s not get in to these details.

What compelled me to write this letter to you and the great daughters of this nation like you who are married to, ‘Men in Uniform’ (I can not say how much manly hood is left in them) are the reports about Dr. Afia Siddiqui, a respected daughter of this nation like you and others, who is presently being detained in isolation by the Americans in their Bagram detention centre in Afghanistan, for over four years called ‘Prisoner 650’ and that she has been tortured to the point where she has lost her mind. Britain’s Lord Nazeer Ahmed, (of the House of Lords), asked questions in the House about the condition of Prisoner 650 who, according to him is physically tortured and continuously raped by the officers at prison. Lord Nazeer has also submitted that Prisoner 650 has no separate toilet facilities and has to attend to her bathing and movements in full view of the other prisoners.

According to reports the ‘Prisoner 650’ Dr. Afia Siddiqui, a PhD degree holder, was arrested by Pakistani intelligence agencies while on her way to the Rawalpindi airport and that she was later handed over to the American Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). At the time of her arrest she was 30 years and accompanied by her three sons the oldest of which was four and the youngest only one month, one week after her disappearance, plain clothed intelligence went to her mother’s house and warned her, “We know that you are connected to higher-ups but do not make an issue out of your daughter’s disappearance.” the mother was threatened of ‘dire consequences’ in case she didn’t followed the instructions.

On December 30, 2003 Dr. Fawzia Siddiqui, Dr. Afia’s elder sister met with Mr. Faisal Saleh Hayat (the then minister of interior) at Islamabad with Mr. Ejazul Haq, MNA, regarding the whereabouts of Dr. Afia. Mr. Faisal told Dr. Fawzia and Mr. Ejazul Haq that according to his information Dr. Afia Siddiqui had already been released by ISI and that she (Dr. Fawzia) should go home and wait for a phone call from her sister, however the whereabouts of Dr. Afia were not known until another Pakistani, Mr. Moazzam Begg (a former Guantanamo Bay detainee), who was arrested from Islamabad by ISI and later handed over to FBI recounted his experience during his detention in Bagram, Afghanistan in his book ‘Enemy Combatant’ after his release in year 2005.

After reading Mr. Begg’s book, a British journalist, Yvonne Ridley, decided to find further details about the ’Prisoner 650’ and visited Bagram and later called for help in a press conference on July 6, 2008, for a Pakistani woman. “I call her the ‘grey lady’ because she is almost a ghost, a specter whose cries and screams continues to haunt those who heard her,” Ms Ridley said at a press conference, Dr. Afia is being held by Americans for her alleged links with Al-Quaida operatives.

In the book ‘In the line of fire’, your husband General Pervez Musharraff has admitted the handing over of innocent people to Americans for bounty of Million of dollars in return, theses people are considered innocent unless given a chance of a fair trial and proven guilty by a competent court. He was COAS of Pakistan and self styled head of state and responsible to ensure the sovereignty of Pakistan and protection of lives and liberty of people.

Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan provided a guarantee to every citizen to be treated in accordance with law, there is a set procedure for those involved in criminal activities under Criminal Procedure Code which requires that charges against person involved in a crime outside the country and required by a International Police (Interpol) shall be brought before a court of law, the court shall decide about the validity and prima facie value of these charges and shall ensure that the person shall be treated according to law before handing him to a foreign state’s law enforcement agency. However in Dr. Afia’s case and handing over thousands other Pakistani’s to Americans, none of these procedures were followed, she was arrested with her children and handed over to Americans.

If she is involved in any criminal activity, she must have been treated in accordance with law, the charges against her should have been brought before a court and she must have been given a full opportunity to defend herself, even if found guilty, she, as a human being, enjoys protection under UN Charter of Human Rights while serving her sentence and her life and modesty is protected.

Her Children are as innocent as any other child and deserve the same opportunities and protection which is being provided to children of General Musharraff and other ‘men in uniform’. But unfortunately, those who are supposed to protect the women and children of this country have turned in to traders and selling their own people for sake of dollars.

In case the proper legal procedure was followed, it was ensured by court that she shall be treated in accordance with law; Dr. Afia would not have been subjected to inhuman treatment, sexual, physical and mental abuse to the point where he lost her mind!

You are blessed with children, you are a not only a mother but a grandmother, a daughter and a sister, apart from being the wife of a General, just imagine, what if it was not Dr. Afia it was your daughter Ayela and her beautiful children, and handed over to blood thirsty hounds, how would you feel if your daughter was being treated like Dr. Afia!

Please, look in to it from purely women’s prospective and think that how much dignity is left in the money with which you are feeding your children and grandchildren which is being paid by poor and helpless people of this country to your husband for protecting them and how much prosperity the dollars will bring in to your children lives which were earned by selling a daughter of this nation!

How can these soldiers stand with dignity and pride in front of their own daughters, sisters and wives, who arrested Dr. Afia, Moazzam Begg and thousands other missing Pakistani’s and handed them over to Americans for sake of money, which conquered Supreme Court of Pakistan when it was probing the issue of these innocent people.

Being daughters of this nation you have the power to take away that false pride from these cowards, you can make them realize that they are not much different from any other dirty pimp trading honor and modesty of a helpless women.

All of us have conscience, no matter how weak it becomes, it’s still there to guide us to make right decisions, no matter how late we are it’s never late to make a decision which is voice of our conscience, just take few moments and think over it and decide weather it’s worth spending rest of your life with the a person who have sold sons and daughters of this nation for his personal greed, who has betrayed the trust of those who assigned him the job to protect their women and children.

This country has given you a lot and it’s time to pay back that debt, obviously you are not in position to bring back the sufferings of Dr. Afia, her children or Moazzam Begg, but at least you can do this much, take away that false pride from the man who is responsible for sufferings of Dr. Afia, the pride and the dignity which he have shown you in uniform, which is symbol of bravery and sacrifice, for once ask your husband, why did he do this with a daughter of this country!

May Allah bless you and your children.
Best Regards,

Pakistan: The ongoing soft revolution: Part 2

The first Cultural Revolution in history of sub-continent was the Sufi movement, from the 13th century A.D. Sufism increasingly attracted the creative social and intellectual energies within the community and with the passage of time it acquired new dimensions and began to deal with the mundane aspects of life as well to free religious thought from the rigidity imposed by Mullah and to move away towards rural areas from the evil and debilitation effects of wealth, monarchy and bureaucracy concentrated in big cities.

The character of Sufi movement was such that if did not require official patronage or military protection and it also proved a serious challenge for both feudal and Mullahs however the movement was hijacked by converting the graves of Saints in to shrines, feudal patronized these shrines by donating lands to the caretakers and a new class of “Peers” emerged which was pro-establishment.

These peer’s who had actively helped British or had remained neutral now emerged and filled the vacuum of the empty places of nationalist Indians and as leaders of Muslim public opinion.Pakistan movement was itself was a struggle of liberal, middle class and educated Muslims comprising of “Civil Society” and intellectuals of that time, Quaid-i-Azam was named as Kafir-i-Azam by then Jamat-i-Islami and hardliner groups, however after independence these hardliners joined the feudal, beaurucracy and military and hijacked it by giving a new slogan “Pakistan ka matlab kia…Lailaha ilAllah.

This proved to be an alliance which protected the interests of establishment and military (which comprised of sons of feudal lords recruited by British rulers) while the middle class and civil society was completely ousted after assassination of Liaqat Ali Khan.

As the middle class and civil society is always biggest threat for authoritarian rule, General Ayub decided to move the capital of Pakistan from Karachi (which was mostly middle class city) to Islamabad, a new capital where ruling elite can live with lower class workers who are too much busy in making ends meet rather then creating any trouble for rulers.

These times the leadership of Awami League was mostly comprised of professors, lawyers and middle class and on the other hand Communism was influencing Pakistan greatly, there was a clear division of left and right wings and establishment, feudal lords and Mullah was at the verge of loosing their grip over power.

This was the time when establishment and military decided to establish PPP to hijack the leftist movement and promoted ZA Bhutto to hijack entire movement, the middle class educated left wing leaders were later on send to prisons or sidelined by Bhutto and replaced by feudal lords, this was the second biggest hijack of any civil society/middle class movement. The second biggest threat from Bengali middle class Awami League was averted by separation of Bangladesh.

This was the time when Pakistan became a complete security state form a welfare states slogan given by left wing dominated founder members of PPP and middle class leadership of Awami League.

Although Bhutto did not damaged the ruling establishment but the organized middle class and political awareness in ordinary workers of PPP remained a threat for ruling Mafia and the time, establishment realized that Bhutto was getting out of their control, he was removed from scene.
Ziaual Haq gave free hand to Mullahs, assembled feudal lords in to so called “Majlish Shoora” and crushed any remains of civil society, free press, trade and students unions and thereafter US dollars started flowing for recruitment of Jihadi’s for proxy soviet war, these jihadi’s were free to kill the remaining left wing workers, some were executed by Military and others fled away from country, press and civil society activists were crushed by ISI and judiciary was made subordinate to executive, we became a complete theocratic state ruled by generals, feudal lords and mad jihadi Mullah’s.

ISI organized MQM as a tool to control the biggest middle class city of Karachi, IJI and several other religious groups to keep civil society under pressure, several ethnic groups in rural areas of Sindh, Punjab and Baluchistan to counter the influence of PPP vocal workers and replaced the remaining middle class in PPP by feudal lords and some fake leaders who are actually on payroll of agencies. Situation with Nawaz league (PMLN) is not much different which itself is a creation of agencies.

Establishment controls all major parties in Pakistan and influences their decisions as needed. But question is weather these parties can survive in these times when after 30 years struggle, the lower class had transformed in to a sizeable middle class, education level are far above from times of dictatorships, the media has got the power to influence the public opinion and technology has mad the world a global village and it has not been possible to fool all the people all the times.

I would humbly disagree with those who think that dream of change is just a delusion, whatever present system of status quo and exploitation tries to do, it would not be able to deliver.
This is the time when an invisible power struggle has began between the pro-establishment and antiestablishment forces, where we go from here is although not certain but there is no likelihood that Pakistani public will be ready to accept a rule like Taliban as we are much different culturally, socially and ethnically from Afghanistan.

There is no doubt in my mind that liberal, educated and middle class leadership is emerging which has mobilized general public because of the mistake made by establishment by removing Chief Justice of Pakistan and people has started thinking out of the box.

Here is another question, weather reinstatement of Chief Justice and deposed Judges will bring any revolution and break the status quo, the answer is in a definite and big “NO”, we can not expect a welfare state emerging if the deposed judges are back, however this will disintegrate the alliance of exploitation and began a war between partners of collation of exploitation and ultimately bring down this alliance of Military, Mullah, Feudal Lords and Judges.

understand it better we have to look in to the events which took place since removal of Chief Justice and how the powers of status quo and anti-establishment are allaying, how judicial system actually works and where it will became a catalyst for change.
That would give us a clear idea weather “Long March” was a success or a failure and weather Aitazaz made a right decision or a mistake………

There are two types of judges, ones who are liked by the lawyers community and the ones who are respected, it is not necessary that a judge who is liked by lawyers is really respected and vice versa. Chief Justice Iftakhar Muhammad was widely disliked by lawyers because being proactive, vocal, and overconfident which resulted his court room being nick named as “Slaughter House”. The reasons were obvious, justice rushed is justice crushed.

However he was respected for his sincerity, judicial activism and bold decisions which were not common in Supreme Court, although I have no doubt in mind that he got his son inducted in to FIA and later in police as a political favors, but he refused to compromise on his judgments against wrong government decisions on basis of that favors, if one check the record, almost all of judges in higher judiciary get such favors and much more.

On decision of Steel Mills case he made the then prime minister upset, also his several other actions against beaurucracy were disliked by General Musharaf and his fellows. The disliking in lawyers community against Chief Justice gave dictator a chance to blackmail him, but his advisors miscalculated that very fact that although Chief Justice is disliked by lawyers on certain issues, the lawyers respect him for his integrity and courage.

Although Chief Justice was not aware at the time when he refused to submit before General Musharaf that lawyers will come out to help him, but he was sure that “Supreme Judicial Council” will not take any pressure from Generals and decide on merit as the charges were frivolous, fortunately many of the judges who held senior ranks were either good professional lawyers before being elevated as judges or not corrupt and they wont fear about their jobs.

However things changed dramatically and lawyer’s community refused to accept any such action against Chief Justice, the hatred against General’s overcome the disliking of chief justice and his courage and integrity become a cause. There is a famous quote that why should a judge fight generals on cost of his job when entire nation is distributing sweets when a dictator takes over, the disapproval of Generals decision by lawyers was fueled by the treatment met by him by police and agencies.

Once lawyers showed strength, the judges in Supreme Court realized that they have some backing, as, the civil society, human rights organizations and international support joined lawyers the judiciary started feeling confident for first time in our history that they are no more slaves of generals and that resulted in to reinstatement of chief justice.

That was the same strength which helped more then 60 judges of superior courts to refuse to take oath under PCO or second martial law of General Musharaf, however if, like our past, the public and lawyers would have been sleeping over chief justice issue, the number of judges refusing to take oath under PCO would have been significantly less.

The lawyers, civil society and middle class Pakistani’s have shown an unprecedented resistance, the media coverage brought this issue to every citizen and it would not be wrong to say that ever if Benazir was not assassinated the results of elections would have been same, however Benazir’s assassination put establishment on defensive and added in to anger of a common man.
Unfortunately people have not seen any change after the election, as NRO, US pressure and alliance of Zardari with establishment are the main hindrances in restoration of deposed judges, as we all know that PPP is in no mood to play antiestablishment role, rather its own workers and party itself is hostage to elements which are on payroll of agencies.

The middle class, liberal and educated people are frustrated with this situation where a common man is fed up with rising costs, in such situation it was not a miracle that hundreds of thousands of people participated in long march.

On other hand the establishment has already inducted his forces in this movement, be it in form of Jamat Islami or ex-servicemen in order to hijack the entire movement, if such a movement of liberal and middle class educated people is hijacked by JI, students of Lal Masjid and ex-servicemen and turns violent, it will derail the half cocked democracy which is exposing the real face of our political parties and generals would have a reason to interfere.

Keeping in view the number of participants of long march and in case the judges were not restored for next few days in case of “Dharna”, it would have surely turned violent and at the same time while the lawyers and civil society would have not been able to sit-in for indefinite period of time, the pro-establishment forces would have taken over the entire movement by turning it violent.

This situation would have not only shaken the confidence of general public, who participated with their families on lawyers and civil society but also helped the forces of status quo to further their agenda.

This is supported by the fact that youngsters belonging to IJT, students of Lala masjid and “Brave” ex-servicemen who were raising slogans of “Now or Never” did not bothered to do any “Dharna” even after the lawyers announced that whoever wants a sit in is free to do so, does not it clearly indicate that those who have been always a part of generals weather in uniform or as civilians intended to hijack the entire movement as it has been in our history.

Undoubtedly, the leaders of lawyers made a wise decision, they not only saved a movement of civil society and liberal educated Pakistani’s from going in to hands to pro establishment jihadi elements but have also established the credibility of civil society to lead.

Today every Pakistani is praising the civil society apart from supporting their cause that it was a biggest protest in Islamabad and so peaceful, this trust of the common man is the real gain for civil society and liberal middle class of Pakistan. It has not only changed the Pakistan’s image overseas but have given a hope to a common man that not only generals and feudal lords can run the country but also there is another force which is amongst themselves.

There is no doubt that judges would be reinstated but now with a new courage that they have nation on their back, they generals-judges alliance is already a thing of past and with an independent judiciary there is no force which can protect status quo, although it will take some time for things to shape up, but we are on right track, this is the beginning of a soft revolution which has already changed a lot without any violence
Silence.

Pakistan: The on going soft revolution: Part 1

Pakistan: The on going soft revolution


A welfare state is a government that provides for the welfare, or the well-being, of its citizens completely. Such a government is involved in citizens’ lives at every level. It provides for physical, material, and social needs rather than the people providing for their own.

The purpose of the welfare state is to create economic and social equality or to assure equitable standards of living for all, access to justice, freedom of faith, freedom of speech and transparency in decisions of executive.

The welfare state provides education, housing, sustenance, healthcare, pensions, unemployment insurance, sick leave or time off due to injury, supplemental income in some cases, and equal wages through price and wage controls.

It also provides for public transportation, childcare, social amenities such as public parks and libraries, as well as many other goods and services. Some of these items are paid for via government insurance programs while others are paid for by taxes.All advanced societies view helping people who literally cannot help themselves as decent, humane, and necessary and this was the ideology of Jinnah’s struggle for an independent state as in colonial Sub-continent Hindu majority classifies the people on basis of color, breed and tribes, even of to today with 150 million untouchable’s living on sub-humane level however without division Hindu’s and Muslim would have been in a state of civil war forever.

Although there were colonial agendas behind this division and many issues were intentionally left unresolved, If we evaluate our history we find that feudalism had its roots in the Mughal period, these feudal who had complete control over peasants lives allied British occupation and were granted estates, government jobs and more powers in return for their loyalties. These feudal are still “honest” with their cause and join every dictator and switch political parties frequently and sellout their loyalties to any higher bidder.

The second beneficiary from colonial rule were the traitors of Tipu Sultan’s army who betrayed him and joined the British forces, in return they were rewarded accordingly and Muslim from these traitor groups were inducted in army, a notorious character in defeat of Tipu Sultan “Meer Jafar” was rewarded by inducting his grandson as first “Indian Commissioned officer” name Iskandar Mirza, who lead the Pakistan army afterwards and was the first to impose a military rule. This reflects the mindset and origin of our army.

The third group which supported colonialism were “Peer’s” and Mullahs, who exploited the religious emotions of Muslim, they not only strengthened British rule but actively killed and captured “freedom fighters” and got estates, lands and civil service jobs, the families include feudal of Sindh, Peers of Punjab and Mullahs who were against the creation of Pakistan. Their historical role has been of a “civilian wing” of colonial forces.

The alliance between the military, feudal, corrupt politicians, executive and the religious establishment has long had a stranglehold on power here, with each side using the other to advance its own aims and cement its own influence and judiciary provided legitimacy to all acts of that alliance by getting her share.

In 1954, just seven years after the creation of Pakistan, Governor General Ghulam Mohammad dissolved the first constitutional assembly and the government of Prime Minister Khawja Nazim Uddin. The president of the assembly, Moulvi Tamiz Uddin, challenged him in the Sindh High Court and won: the dissolution was held to be illegal and unconstitutional. On appeal to the Chief Court of Pakistan, which was later renamed the Supreme Court, Chief Justice Munir decided in favor of the governor general. The basis for his decision was the “doctrine of necessity”: meaning that to preserve the country the constitution had to be abandoned.

This judgment of Justice Munir established a long lasting partnership between Generals and Judges and inducted a fourth partner in exploitation of public along with Mullaha’s and feudal.
This alliance was further strengthen by international forces which wanted to punish ZA Bhutto on one hand for his efforts to acquire nuclear weapons and on other hand to strengthen these four forces for a proxy war against Soviet Union, but in this process a fifth invisible force was established consisting of drug lords, arms traders and recruiters for jihad who got black money in this process and initiated a new trend of “money politics”, even some generals were directly involved in this trade.

The United State having complete control over these five influential ruling “Mafia” of Pakistan once again pushed the country in to war against its own created Talban’s and appointed a former City Bank employee to channel funds for this war, he also got a free hand to gift Pakistan’s public institutions for personal gains under umbrella of “privatization”.
At the same time we have seen “Judicial Activism” around the world, be it India or United States, Chief Justice of Pakistan Iftakhar Chaudhary, influenced by judicial activism became a hurdle in sale of “Pakistan Steel Mills” and it hurt the interests of Shaukat Aziz (US governor for Pakistan), also issue of “missing persons” and Musharaf’s uniform were clear “violation of collation of interest” of ruling Mafia.

It was a violation of rules of business of Judges, Generals, Mullahs, Fudals and Drug Lords ruling Mafia. The powerful General Musharaf backed by USA called Chief Justice, make him realize of his position and told him to submit resignation.

The refusal of Chief Justice to resign proved a fatal crack in ruling Mafia and it broke the sixty years old alliance of exploitation.

We, the nation, entered in to a new phase of our history that day.
Unless this system is destroyed the ideas prevailing in Pakistan concerning way of life, society and politics cannot change.
