Make It a
Unanimous Impeachment
Ruling coalition has finally taken the right
step in the right direction at the right time. Further delay
would have caused serious harm to ruling coalition, democratic
process, and Pakistan.
Since ruling coalition has come out and
announced its plan to impeach general Musharraf first by passing
a resolution in provincial assemblies and then finally
impeachment resolution in joint session of lower and upper
house, now it is the responsibility of all members of Senate and
NA to impeach general Musharraf unanimously by moving beyond
party affiliations. Not only members of the coalition parties
should vote for impeachment of general Musharraf the members of
Q League, Functional League, MQM should also vote for his
impeachment.
A unanimous impeachment vote will put
Pakistan on the right track forever. After unanimous impeachment
vote no undemocratic force will ever try to play with the fate
of Pakistan through unconstitutional acts.
People can be poor, people can be uneducated,
people can be without roof over their heads, but they cannot and
they should not be without fairness, equality and nobility as
the citizens of Pakistan. Peoples’ honor is what matters the
most for human beings. There cannot be a bigger insult to people
to violate their honor so belligerently and brazenly like
general Musharraf did last 9 years. He has constantly humiliated
the people of Pakistan nationally and internationally by using
stupid language against them.
By taking impeachment route, coalition
government has made a conscious and calculated move against
general Musharraf. They still want general Musharraf should exit
honorably, although honor is the last word that matters for
general Musharraf.
Those who supported general Musharraf for
last 9 years they must take a moment and reflect. Did general
Musharraf deserve their support? Did they support general
Musharraf for personal gains, on higher moral ground, or for
right and just political reasons? We are pretty confident if
they reflect with sense of fairness they will find their hearts
and minds in opposition to their actions over the course of last
9 years.
Therefore, the members of PML (Q), PML
(Functional) and MQM should move above their petty political
interests and join coalition parties not only to impeach general
Musharraf but to punish him for the crimes he committed against
the constitution, the state and the people of Pakistan.
That is the only right thing to do for every
parliamentarian no matter which party he belongs to or with whom
he has been associated for last 9 years.
Impeachment of general Musharraf will put
Pakistan back on constitutional track. Rule of law will
re-establish in the country and normal democratic process will
restart in the country with full force.
