No Constituition For Dictators?

(Talal Raza, Lahore)

Another great news struck my mind last night. The trial of ex-president and army chief Mr.Musharaf has indulged people in another controversy of whether or whether not. Although the allegations risen politically and through media on Musharaf has strong support from the common man but the run to punish the ex-president under article 6 of the constitution became meaningless when the (so called) custodian of constitution said in lower house of Parliament that though he has personally forgiven him but has no reservations if a unanimous decision is made for the trial of ex-president Musharaf for his unconstitutional steps. Everyone knows no unanimous decision can do this job. Earlier in July, the Supreme Court declared Nov 3 act of Musharaf unconstituitional but afterwards no further practical development seems to be on the way against Musharaf.

Such a body language from the custodians of law and such a disappointing comment made in lower house (as mentioned above) has not only proved right the claims of certain PML-Q leaders but also frustrating the victims of Musharaf Policies. Infect, In this way the so called democratic government is welcoming and ing the ways of army chiefs and Marshal laws in the future of Pakistan.

The trial of Mr.Musharaf has been controversial right from the end of his regime and today it has raised many concerns when this matter is not seriously taken in the Government It is un-understandable that what is the reason behind forgiving Musharaf? What is the idea of not getting rid of NRO? Why are we letting world know that constitution has no importance in front of the rulers of this region? I beleive most of the questions would be either ignored or if insisted can be answered in the private cells of agencies as it has happened before with many journalists.

What happened in Lal Masjid, whoever killed Akbar Khan Bugti and who so ever sold Aafia Siddique for dollars is our national enemy (not hero). I must say that those in power, if they were exaggerating the presidency of Mr.Musharaf only to get themselves in power then let the history tells you that you will be dragged more recklessly on earth, no matter how many "peers (saints)" you have in your family. We see you and we observe your actions very well. A common man doesn't know who and how many people laid down their lives for democracy, rather he wants justice for injuistice. I ask those in the authority again that if they still forgive the traitors of our society; if you still think that Marshal laws and all the unconstitutional steps can be uprooted by symbolically condemning it in black and white: you not only disappoint 16 crore nationals but also urge the black sheeps to isolate and even disintegrate Pakistan.

It is the time for self-made youth to rise and play their role in national interest by participating in politics. We can't let Jaagirdaars fetch our right. We all own this land
