An FIR against two students and 4 faculty members was given to the LUMS guards today, probably in the late afternoon. They have been charged for nothing less than: Wall Chalking the police station wall. There is a problem with this…
1. Saad Latif, the Student Council President was out on an LAS trip for the last two weeks or so. In Manglixir, he could not have wall chalked the DHA thana.
2. Currently, there is no such Professor Farhat ul Haq at LUMS. In the last month or so there has not been any such person in LUMS.
3. Dr. Rasool Baksh: He’s an aged dignified Professor, not an angry teenager, for God sakes…
4. Osama Siddiqi: He’s been in the US for some time, meeting the who’s who of America. I hope he will get back at these people.
5. Aasim Sajjad: Everyone knows that he is in the streets of Islamabad, doing bigger things than wallchalking. They just did a one-thousand-people-strong protest in Islamabad today.
Is this the kind of ‘terrorism’ that this Emergency was supposed to deter? Are these the infamous ‘terrorists’ and ‘criminals’? Is this the kind of totalitarian state you want to live in?
If not, join us. Dont leave us alone in this critical hour. We may forget the acts of our enemy but we will never forget the silence of our friends.

As far as I know, Saad Latif wasn’t involved in teh protests even before he left for Manglixir! Whhy then do they want to arrest him? Pakistani police is seriously screwed up.
I wonder if these people will really be arrested? And if so, what will become of them? it is not even a mass arrest that usually lasts a day or two.

In King Busharrafland it is possible to make water dirty upstream if you are drinking water downstream. Example: He blames Chief Justice for releasing “terrorists”. The “T’ were released by him in a swap and the CJ ordered the release of “Terrorist Lawyers” under writ of habeas corpus but did not quash the cases. CJ agreed to rule of law.
Wall chalking can be equal to “T” in the Army Act. (You did it is not required in that law).
The King talks of his economy. When bomb exploded (1998) the roti was two for a rupee. When the Constitution was ripped (2007) the roti is two for ten rupees. Ten fold progress.
Bomb pharia roti rupia diyan doo.
Aieen pharia roti das rupian doo.
Das guna taraki.
