Another 12th May Expected?

February 7th, 2008 Aimon · 1 Comment

It has been reported that MQM is planning another 12th May to sabotage the lawyers movement. Earlier this week, MQM activists threatened the leaders of Lawyers movement and warned them of consequences similar to 12th May in case a public rally is held in the support of deposed judiciary.

In another development this week, the bench of PCO Judges dismissed the request for enquiry on the terror events of 12th May in Karachi for so called “National Interest”.

Unfortunately thare’s no such thing left as NATIONAL INTEREST in our country.
any step that makes the power hungry musharraff even more powerful,more strong and more glued to the leadership post is portrayed as” national interest”.defending it by merely saying SAB SE PEHLE PAKISTAN,i wonder why everything in the greatest interest of musharraff is for Pakistan,later i concluded,musharraff calls himself as PAKISTAN,its his second name,by which i’m sure,all his sycophants address him.hmm…now it makes sense..

PAKISTAN=MUSHARRAFF

before Oct ‘99 musharraff himself considered the MUTAHIDDA QATIL MOVEMENT as a terrorist organization and Altaf Hussein as a mastermind terrorist.and there’s evidence to prove this,he told the then PM Nawas Sharif in meetings several times.but as per today,musharraff needs the support from mutahida qatil to prove to the the west that he’s still popular,pointing to the rallies that mutahida Qatil arranged in his favour and against the deposed judiciary after march 9th last yr.
How on earth can one expect justice under such circumstances…there have been dozens of May 12ths eversince,in Baluchistan,in Bajour,Wana,Waziristan,Swat,Laal Masjid Islamabad, several every week in the form of lawyers & media protests being attacked,Geo being attacked and put off,in the form of all pvt channels being transformed into PTVs praising the govt over power,gas,water,sugar,wheat crisis with minimum,if at all,criticism.there have been 7 and 60 suicide attacks in 2006 and’07 respectively,the ratio is faaaaaaaarrrr beyond being terribly pronounced.and u can still count on tips the number of suicide blasts that have occured during this yr so far…
and i’m afraid there will be more of such atrocities in future if musharraff remains,and its evident that he definitely will..
