Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

Thank you dear! You summed it up all wonder fully! What is needed now is to liberate PPP from its corruption and hijacking by the alien elements, like Zardari’s coterie and bring it back to the true leadership of people like Ehtazaz Ahsan, Raza Rabbani, Dr, Israr, etc.
I agree that the multiple “stakeholders” who have jumped on the lawyers bandwagon may not have the same objectives or even regard for due legal process (maybe I missed it but I haven’t heard Nawaz Sharif apologize to the legal community for his behavior and arrogance in years past)- the point however is that as long as all Pakistani’s who are supporting it for the right reasons are involved, then there is less danger of the movement being hijacked; also we can continue to hold the judiciary and the govt accountable because this will set a trend.
I hope, as is already happening that the PPP will reclaim the party as one of workers and intellectuals together, that it will force the PPP to have intra-party democracy. If Sherry Rahman, Gilani and hopefully others in Parliament follow Aitezaz and Raza Rabbani’s lead in speaking up then at least there will be one party who will have demonstrated that it is not disloyalty to question dictatorial tendencies of its top leadership- that will probably be the fruit of Benazir’s untimely death (especially if Bilawal refuses to be the Chairperson in waiting).
Come out for a peaceful Long March only for the cause of free judiciary in Pakistan. If we think that we can contribute in the restoration of free judiciary in Pakistan, then NOW is the time to come out and be a part of Long March. Its not just the restoration of Justice Iftekhar Chowdhury, its restoration of a system. We don
