Political Struggle Will Continue
in Pakistan Until....
 The
credit of current political change in Pakistan does not go to
one individual, one particular group or one particular political
party.
Everyone has played his / her role in
bringing about this change. CJ proved first drop of rain, but
political struggle was underway much before CJ said No to
dictator Musharraf.
People of Pakistan, sick and tired of decades
of military intervention in political process, were fighting
back in different ways. Benazir Bhutto, Mian Nawaz Sharif, Javed
Hashmi, Yousaf Raza Gilani, Mahmood Achakzai, Imran Khan, Akbar
Bugti, Ataullah Mengal and many others challenged general
Musharraf in different ways. All these honorable leaders paid
heavy prices for their defiant role.
While these leaders were playing their
political role in their own ways, many Pakistani intellectuals,
spread across the globe, played their role in using their
influence to push the cause of democracy in various capitols.
Many journalists were constantly pushing the
cause of democracy through their pens, through radio and TV
programs, and through various public interactive forums.
However, one thing is for sure, and no one
should try to undermine or underestimate the great resistance
movement put up by legal fraternity against 8 years of general
Musharraf’s tyrannical rule.
It is this legal fraternity’s resistance
movement backed by the people of Pakistan which brought present
political set-up in to existence.
In response to legal fraternity’s splendid
resistance movement, PPP and PML (N) leadership met in Murree
and issued a declaration in which they agreed to restore
illegally deposed judges.
Now, it seems like the restoration of deposed
judges is being subverted under various pretensions.
We would like to make it clear in unequivocal
terms to office bearers of new political set-up that they must
not subvert the process of restoration of deposed judges under
any circumstances or for any reasons.
We demanded all illegally deposed judges
should be restored immediately. Along with legal fraternity, we
will wait for 30 days. If deposed judges are not restored in 30
days, we will turn the barrels of our propaganda guns towards
newly elected political forces.
Overseas Pakistanis who played very important
role in bringing about political change in Pakistan will restart
their movement against newly erected political set-up.
We are already upset about general
Musharraf’s constant presence on Pakistan’s political scene.
We will not silently watch unconstitutional
and illegal games played in Pakistan by pro status quo forces.
Pakistan is destined to become a state where
constitution, rule of law and unfettered democracy play supreme
role. Political struggle will continue until Pakistan becomes
one such state.
