The emergency is like a cancer for the country in which constitution is suspended, fundamental rights are not claimable, doors of the courts are closed for the victims of state and roads of knowledge and awareness are also closed for the people. Media is completely banned, no one has right to ask about that, that is purely dictator ship and should condemned. Most of the people of country are victims; some are agents who are clapping on the cruelty only for taking un-due relives.
Rights of small provinces are already un-lawfully prohibited; people of Sind and Baluchistan are fighting for their rights and revolutions. Both, Sindh and Baluchistan under cruelty and bombardments because they are demanding their rights.
I also spent my golden 14 days and nights behind the bars in central jail Karachi from 5th Nov, 2007(I don’t care) with my other 50 lawyer friends only due to raise the voice against this killer of the nation.
These rulers are working on the projects of their political fathers and they continuously perusing their instruction to make way to their entrance in the country and they like to make this country as Afghanistan and Iraq. No one is worried for the people but every one is trying and barging to take the chair.
This is the last time for people of Pakistan, if the awaked and struggle for the restoration of constitution, Fair and independent Judiciary and free media, they can save this county other wise these rulers are continuously working to open the roads for international dictators.
