   […] The last week has been a whirlwind of disturbing development. Starting with the removal of Chief Justice Chaudhry Mohammad Iftikhar by the President, things just kept going from bad to worse. Protesting lawyers were mistreated, as was the Chief Justice, Minister Wasi Zafar embarrassed himself as well as the nation yet again, and most recently we saw that not just the judiciary but also the press is under stress as private TV channels are told to cool off and the GEO TV news show by Kamran Khan was banned. […]

   There must be a code of conduct in such talk shows. Such a mis language is especially in presence of a female is extremely disregarded. VOA is not doing enough. VOA should devise code of conduct guidelines all participant must abide by. Law Minister must be communicated by VOA to avoid such abusive language in its talk shows.

   Except those few nasty words uttered by him, he is no different from most of the politicians, if not better. The attack by Nawaz Sharif on Supreme Court was more shameful than Wasi Zafar’s words. Benazir’s comments and behaviour towards Supreme Court were even more uglier than these words,Still these polticians are darlings of Pakistani politics. Everyone of us who have ever voted these people including Wasi Zafar, should be ashamed of themselves.

   Poor Pakistanis are in between two extremes, one side are Talibans and the other side, people like Wasi Zafar.

   REQUEST TO READERS

   We very much welcome readers posting links to related news and other stories but woudl like to make the following points.

   1. Any comment with two or more URLs is automatically placed into moderation and will be made live when ATP Administrators are live next. In such clases, please DO NOT resumbit the same message again and again or under multiple posts. It will NOT help and will only add to our work and bandwidth.
   2. Partly because of previous point and because literally hundreds of links to BBC stories have been posted here, the system now considers ALL comments with any BBC link to be spam and has been sending all those comments into spam (not moderation). In another case a reader has been totally blocked by the system (NOT BY US) because they had been sending too many messages with links (please understand how the system works; it assumes that this is spam behavior and considers these to be spam attacks even if they are not). Unfortunately, these are things that are done automatically and then become headaches for us to try to undo (which, as of yet, we do not know how to do).
   3. Please be courteous to other readers. If you are putting in a link, please mention what it is about and possibly a synopsis of that news, so that people can make up their mind of where they are going and whether they should go there. We realize that it is very easy to cut and past URLs, but courtesy demands that you tell others where you are sending them and why.
   4. Finally, specially on this post but generally everywhere, if you are so angry and emotional that you feel like abusing someone and utter obscenities and inappropriate language, then please do it elsewhere. ATP considers all people who take refuge in inappropriate language and behavior – Wasi Zafar as well as those who wish to abuse him – to be of similar ilk. We do not wish to associate with either.

   (P.S. over the last week we have had to ‘clean and remove’ over 100 messages. Most because they were duplicates and many many – especially on this post – because of inappropriate language. This is not not a good use of our time or your energies.)
