Criticism of (Illegal) President,
(Outlaw) Army, (Pliant) Parliament and (Subservient) Judiciary
Must Continue
 Heat
is reaching to ruling junta by the critics of (illegal)
President, (outlaw) army, (pliant) parliament and (subservient)
judiciary.
The law passed by (subservient) parliament
restraining criticism of these sacred cows shows their sanctity
is tearing down and they want to hide behind the parliamentary
shield to save them from the harsh criticism.
There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind
that general Musharraf is an illegal president. He came in to
power in violation of constitution by rebelling against the
constitutionally elected government. Since seizer of his power
was illegal, all his subsequent acts such as petition in the
Supreme Court to stay in power, referendum, 2002 elections,
parliament created in result of those elections, 17th
amendment and becoming president were illegal.
The logic and reason of general Musharraf’s
presidency’s illegality is simple and clear. Any criminal after
committing the crime cannot takeover the legal process and alter
laws to change the nature of criminality of his acts to valid,
legal acts.
Pakistan army is an outlaw institution,
because it has abetted, supported and promoted the illegal acts
of its chiefs. Each man in uniform is responsible to protect the
constitution of Pakistan according to his oath. The men in
uniform of Pakistan army failed individually and as an
institution to protect the constitution of Pakistan. They failed
at the times of Ayub, Yahya and Zia. They have failed again to
do their duty to protect the constitution as (illegal) general
Musharraf is constantly violating the constitution of Pakistan.
Present parliament, both senate and national
assembly, is illegal because it was created by the illegal,
unconstitutional orders issued by (illegal) president.
Therefore, all laws, constitutional amendments including 17th
amendment enacted by them are illegal. Moreover, this parliament
has failed to represent the will of the people of Pakistan. It
has played a pliant and subservient parliament’s role to support
an illegal ruler’s illegal set-up.
Supreme Court and other higher courts are
being run by judges whose positions are tainted with
unconstitutional oath which prohibits them to entertain cases
against (illegal) president of Pakistan. Therefore, they are
part of the illegal set-up created by (illegal) president of
Pakistan.
Under these circumstances, the people of
Pakistan must take every necessary peaceful step to undo this
whole illegal set-up. Criticism of illegal (president), (outlaw)
army, (pliant) parliament and (subservient) judiciary is one of
the tools which the people of Pakistan are applying to pull
their country out of the mess created by illegal acts of general
Musharraf. They must continue harsh criticism of (illegal)
president, (outlaw) army, (plaint) parliament and (subservient)
judiciary until constitutional set-up restores in Pakistan.
The people of Pakistan, in addition to harsh
criticism, should rather move few steps further: they should
start disobedience movement, stop paying taxes and hold peaceful
public rallies to undo this illegal set-up. They should continue
these direct actions until generals and their civilian
supporters are brought to justice for their illegal acts, army
goes back to its legal, constitutional limits, parliament
reflects the will of the people, and judiciary becomes protector
of the constitution and the people of Pakistan.
Benazir Must Attend MPC
It is
peoples’ demand that BB should attend MPC in London. Most of the
political activists are disappointed by BB’s decision to stay
away from MPC. The reasons why BB has decided to remain absent
from MPC are known to her, but the people of Pakistan do have
the right to know why she is not joining opposition parties in
London to be part of the effort to oust illegal military ruler
from power?
General
Musharraf is a bad news for Pakistan. He has put all the
criminal elements of Pakistan in charge of state’s helm of
affairs. Since he took over power, he made Pakistan center of
international conflicts. These conflicts are taking serious toll
on the well being of Pakistan as well as its citizens.
Before
Kargil, general Musharraf’s point of entry in Pakistani
politics, Pakistan was on the path to establish peace with its
only rival India and find a peaceful settlement of half century
old Kashmir issue. Mr. Vajpayee and Nawaz Sharif had signed
peace agreement under which the chances of Kashmir solution were
imminent.
Before Kargil, Pakistan had ideal relations
with Afghanistan, Iran and China. Since general Musharraf’s
takeover, relations with all four neighbors have reached to
their lowest.
Scarcity of commodities of daily use has made
peoples’ lives miserable. Within last 7 years, prices of
essential commodities have spiked 400%. Inflation is out of
control. And people are committing suicide to free themselves
from the yokes of life.
Crime is on the rise. Pakistan never had had
suicide bombers any time in its history. General Musharraf has
introduced this gift to Pakistani nation.
Under these circumstances, it is the
responsibility of all political parties, right, left, and
centrist, to join forces and oust general Musharraf from power
as soon as possible and save Pakistan from ultimate demise.
It is in the interest of Pakistan that BB
should personally attend MPC and be part of the opposition
effort to oust Musharraf. If she does not want to join MPC, can
she provide a plausible explanation to the people of Pakistan?
