Constitutional Amendments
Pakistanis need to weed
out the criminals who do not respect constitution and rule of law
With 50 years incursion
in the political affairs of the country, generals have created many agents
and sympathizers who do not respect constitution and rule of law. There are
serving generals, retired generals, sons of former influential generals like
Ejaz ul Haq and Humyun Akthar Abdul Rehman, politicians, judges, attorneys,
journalists and some intellectuals who support and propagate military
takeovers. They all have one thing common among them and it is contempt for
constitution and rule of law.
All these people are
enemies of state. They are constantly undermining the writ of state. They
are all criminals and that is how they should be treated.
The biggest criminals
among these groups are perhaps those who lead the coup against constitution.
Rest of them just start working along with them as need arises.
For example, first some
politicians ask the army to intervene. They should be treated as criminals
too. They instigate an illegal act. Afterwards, those who plan and lead coup
should be tried and punished for committing a crime. Then comes the turn of
those attorneys like famous Sharifuddin Pirzada who immediately stand on the
side of coup makers and represent those generals in courts. Then come those
judges who hear those cases and generously violate the spirit of law and
provide legal cover to those who perpetuate their criminal rule in Pakistan.
After that, some journalists start writing in favor of coup makers.
This is all criminal
mafia. They reinforce time and again the phenomenon of lawlessness in
Pakistan. That is how a vicious cycle has takeover Pakistan and Pakistan
cannot break this cycle.
In order to establish
the writ of state in Pakistan we have to uphold the constitution of
Pakistan. It is the only yardstick which we should use to measure the
sincerity of Pakistan's citizen's. Those who act against constitution, those
who help them in any way who act against constitution, are criminals and
they are responsible for Pakistan's current plight.
Right now, these law
breakers are in power. General Musharraf is an 'outlaw' who is running from
justice. His constitutional amendments package nothing but an effort to
evade justice and make him so powerful so that law cannot take course
against him.
General Naqvi can also
be considered a criminal. He is helping an outlaw to build a legal castle
around him through constitutional amendments to secure him from the
consequences of crime he committed in form of coup on October 12, 1999.
The people of Pakistan
have to understand how important it is bring these forces of lawlessness
under control.
This vicious cycle of
lawlessness is hurting the people of Pakistan the most. Right now, they are
being treated as trash. They have no right to elect their own
representatives. Their representatives are treated as a trash too. They are
ridiculed, jailed, exiled and hanged on the hands of these criminals.
General Musharraf who
felt he was treated worse than a peon is building a system where he wants to
treat the elected representatives of 140 million people like tissue paper
and flush them out at the whim of his mood.
The people of Pakistan
must take notice of this situation and weed out these criminals who have no
respect for constitution and rule of law before they damage the rest of
Pakistan with their stupid notions and experiments.
