HERE IS WHAT SHOULD BE THE NEXT MOVE:
ALL CIVIL SERVANTS SHOULD BE INVITED TO STAND UP AGAINST THE DICTATOR. IN PARTICULAR POLICE, JUDICIAL STAFF, MEGISTRATE ETC.
THE POLITICAL PARTIES SHOULD MAKE A JOINT ANNOUNCEMENT AS FOLLOWS”
ALL THOSE CIVIL SERVANTS WHO WILL CUT THEMSELVES OFF FROM THE RULING PARTY (LIKE THE JUDGES OF SUPREME AND HIGH COURTS) WILL NOT ONLY BE GIVEN AMNESTY BUT REWARDED BY THE NEXT GOVT.
INFACT THIS ANNOUNCEMENT SHOULD BE MADE
BY VARIOUS GROUPS OF CIVIL SOCIETY INCLUDING LAWYERS FORUM, HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVISTS, OTHERngo ETC.

I am one of those beleiving in THE ONE UNIQUE,
and I wish to die as a beleiver. May Rabb-ul-Alameen
help us alllllllll and espicially the people inside Pakistan.
Shuriyah from the bottom of my heart for the comforting words, I do appreciate it .
As a Pakistani-born living in Scandinavia, it sadens me to the outermost, the fact that there is so much
Zulm going on inside Pakistan, and it seems to me that it just has excaberated within the Era of the years gone since Pakistan´s creation.
What do I respond the Almighty the DAY , when I am asked
what did YOU do, Adam Insaan .
-please do forgive me if I did do anything at all inproper.
Adam Insaan: Don’t be so dejected and disheartened. Every cloud has a silver lining. Better days are ahead of us. Pakistani nation is resilient one and like other crises it will go through this one as well. Have faith.
This is an interesting work - Tina describes it well; though the idea is a little “in your face”; and a wee-bit cliched!
However, given our current state of affairs, it strikes you ..
-The firm hired by Pakistan, for creating a “better image “,
exterospectively,
HAS announced that it inspite of being paid 1 or 2 mill. US dollars, it has withdrawn, REJECTED to `lobby` for Pakistan!
I have NEVER experienced this before, is their any precedence for such ? They , the firm don´t want to be associated with the name of Pakistan.(just heard it on GEO-news)
-someone just washed their hands througly with soap and water. !!!
-guess whom do need a Lota right now ????!!!
(not only a retoric question)
Zulifkar Ali Bhutto is attributed to have said that when no one was with me, Khar was with me. Now that I am in power, you want me to get rid of Khar? He never learned. Arguably, the 1977 election dispute was over seven seats, but ZAB stuck with his lotas (sycophants) and lost it all.
Pakistani system is not unique in the world for lotas . Other systems call them assistants or aides or long time associates.
Pakistani system has too much power that attracts lotas and less than worthy characters who will leave no stone unturned to any bidding, legal or illegal. And with no legal entry or exit point, our good men self-immolate right before our eyes.
Ayub, Yayha, ZAB, Zia and now Musharraf were all good men when they came in through illegal means but wanted to good for the nation. And they did good in their early days. Then the power swept them away with the whispers of lotas.
We need a retirement plan in PK, so that good men can leave without assistance. I really believed that Musharraf would set a new standard and leave.
Pakistan Zindabad
Pakistan Pa’indabad
Pervaiz Munir Alvi,
The throne in plastic, stronger than Bhutto’s ?
