Iron Curtain Or Illegal Iron
Hands!
General Musharraf talked about Iron curtain between the
Western powers and the Islamic countries.
The Iron curtain between Western powers and Islamic
countries is created by rulers like general Musharraf who are prevalent in
the Islamic world. Be it Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Syria, Indonesia or
any other Muslim country, most of the rulers in Muslim countries are holding
on to power without legitimacy.
These rulers have not only ruled these countries without
legitimacy they have always used draconian methods to control their
populace.
General Musharraf’s Pakistan is the worst Muslim country
where the citizens of the state have been denied all rights. The citizens of
General Musharraf’s Pakistan neither have political nor human rights.
They people of general Musharraf’s Pakistan are so
helpless they cannot even get justice against general Musharraf’s draconian
actions in any Pakistani court. Pakistani courts do not have the power to
entertain any case against general Musharraf’s injustices. Numerous innocent
political workers are being thrown in jails through fabricated, manipulated
and concocted cases.
Javed Hashmi, Asif Zardari, and now general Musharraf’s
new victim, national assembly’s former speaker Yousaf Gilani, are few
prominent examples.
Rulers of Islamic countries, and general Musharraf is
included among them, should look at their own conducts.
Western countries’ governments have to deal with Muslim
countries regardless whatever type of governments these countries have.
States to state relations have to go on regardless who rules whom.
It is easy to stand on UN podium and read a prewritten
speech to the international community about justice, equality, democracy,
but it is difficult to practice these self evident and universal principles
at home.
Before talking to the international community about these
golden principles, general Musharraf should take off his uniform. Doesn’t he
know his gestures to remain president and stay in uniform have divided the
nation in the middle?
United States’ problem is to deal with the dreadful
menace of terrorism, because, terrorists attacked United States. Why general
Musharraf is blackmailing the government of United States and the people of
Pakistan by showing that he is inevitable for war on terrorism?
Terrorism is international issue. It is all governments’
responsibility that they deal with this issue.
President Bush rightly pointed out in his UN speech that
United States will democratize Muslim countries. It is a right approach. US
should apply the same principle on the countries like Pakistan and rulers
like general Musharraf. There is no iron curtain between western powers and
Muslim countries, but there are illegal iron hands between western powers
and Muslim countries which Western powers need to get rid off.
