A few days ago I highlighted this wrong, but today after after seeing photos of policemen mercilessly beating an unarmed lady, I am again left speechless at this shameful violence.
We at ATP have long worried about the senselessness of the violence (physical, psychological, verbal, social) that seems to keep growing in our society. All violence is bad, violence by the state is especially disturbing.
We strongly condemn this police brutality. Whoever is ordering such treatment of protesters is definitely taking people away from the ideals of Pakistan. How do you expect this poor lady (or her family or anyone seeing this) to trust the state after getting such a thrashing at the hands of the states law-enforcers? Those who are responsible to safeguard our dignity.
Police reform is the cry of the day. They absolutely need a crash course in human dignity and how to tackle protesters in a civilized way. Mercilessly beating ladies (or on anyone as a matter of fact) is inhuman and not part of our culture, or of any culture. No matter what one thinks about the protesters or what they are protesting, this violence by the police is wrong and shameful. We all must condemn it.
Police or their higherups should see how much anger is building up in people who are not afraid of confronting them with bare hands. This anger needs a channel such as allowing peaceful protest or it will spill out in wrong kind of violence as it probably happened the other day in Multan.
Whether we agree with protesters or not, peaceful protest is their right. Treat humans - all humans, everywhere - with dignity. If we do not, then our own dignity is compromised.
I heard Nawaz Sharif is getting the most crowed in Punjab bye to chouhdries?
@Nayab
Sorry to say but its better not to check that address to nation. Mush is a cheater at face, lier to core & a person capable of manipulating words & facts for his likening.
I am sick of his self created image of himself as savior as well as his out-of-nowhere logics in his own support. He is not more the straight forward commando. He has,thanks to chaudhries he had in his lap, acquired great expertise in diplomacy ( read cheating )
Here is something I want to share:
Vilidmir Putin has been a very controversial politician, he was in KGB, has controled media, changed laws, blamed for rigging but Russians still support him (a few loud lousy opposition is in every country) and one should see the achievements of russia under putin. Russia is again becoming world power, their economy has grown rapidly and they have a say on every world issue.
Despite all the controversies he has been named ‘Person of the year’ by times.
Just want to add, his move against rebels in Chechnya was hailed but people still hate him for not saving 118 crew members who were lost on the kursk sub. Whether he wants to drive Russia into a new capitalist era, or embrace the values of its Soviet past, he is determined to put his nation back on its feet and that is all that matters

Do we have any leader who is so determined to get Pakistan on its feet and close the chapter of militancy?
Here something that propogandist GEO will never show, atleast small channels like DM are getting voice of poor and middleclass:

Sorry its in punjabi, I thought it will be good to post this as someone said to me yesterday; ‘Punjabies are against musharraf because they cannot stand an urdu speaking president’. I found that very racist comment.

Pervez “Commando” Musharaf is responsible for the cowardly police action against women.
To all the “Lovers of Musharaf” all that we see with our eyes and hear with our ears , the blood, the screams, the tears, the dandas and the gaalis, is this all propoganda?
Inshallah the day will come soon when these women will have the lathis and Musharaf will be hauled out by his hair much the same way that the police dragged out the lawyers.
I will write the same thing now:
In my opinion Mushraf should be help responsable for the actions of Police.
What media is showing lately is very disturbing this can not be just propaganda.
What goes arround comes arround and if Mushraf is at fault he will have his day and at then end justice will prevail.
Lets find better words.
I will only use humiliating words for the extremist who are using the name of Islam to behead our Jawans on duty and for enemy of Pakistan.
Once again Pakistan is family and we have to deal with out own problems with out making enemy very happy.
Allah Bless Pakistan
