First of all round of applause for you to raise such an important issue. I was thinking to start a poll at related topics. I do believe that our young generation dont have political insight as they should have because our education system donot support political vision.

I would like to add further to your point that still we are yearning for democratic government while corrupted institutions of state machinery are propagating and highlighting false and fake realities.
We are still living in the age of 1.5 century ago where human rights were curbed by Britishers to sustain their powers in rich India and voices were raised for independence;

After Inclusion of Ayub khan in the Federal cabinet of Sikandar Mirza, as in Service Defense minister, Army involved in the Government affairs.. Ayub Khan imposed the First marshal law in 1958.After this The Generals of Pak Army remained the Major Players in the Political System Of Pakistan. Most of the Time Ruled Directly, and the Remaining Period, they ruled indirectly.
|
Here addition of another fact that just after the inception of Pakistan Daultana and Mumdoot having disagreements on power basis introduced the concept of Army rule in 1951 but it was governend by the Punjab Governor and lasted only for few months. Then offcourse Ayub was the person made political system physically disable in the country.
I m adding some data here from the link below;
http://www.pakistanpolitics.org/counter.asp

As on October 26, 2007:
Total days of national life ( since August 14, 1947)

In their all the extra constitutional adventures, our Judiciary provided the Legitimate ground to the adventurers, on the Basis of Doctrine of Necessity that was invention of Justice Munir in his Decision to affirm the Dissolution of assembly by the Ghulam Muhammad.
|
Saleeqa I believe one thing that although Justice Munir was responsible but dont you think that generation of that time was more responsible who havent raised voice against it and accepted the death of constitution by the sole biased person.

It is said that if our Judiciary hadn’t supported the Dictators, our History might be different.
|
Yes its the very truth of the fate of our nation that sole person decided its destiny if we look back to the history.

However First Time in Pakistan, Some Juges of Supreme court strived to Get Rid from The Doctrine of Necessity. However the Dictator Couldn’t tolerate them.
|
For the first time judiciary stand against the dictator even treated badly just like terrorists. But the problem not ending here because general public is not supporting them as they should be supported.
Justice Wajeeh-ul-Deen The Great Man whose devotion, allegiance and commitment to the constitution is above board maltreated by police when he went to visit CJ Iftikhar Chaudary yesterday look at his dignity that rather speaking harshly and saying something bad to them today he went to them with flowers and set an example for upcoming generations to follow.

Wat are its Implications? In future No Judge will do this. And we will be moving in a Circle.A Political government will Come and after some years another General will Take over.And we will remain in this Circle.
|
When talking about future implications we have to look the present realities. No doubt you are very right that its an ongoing circle that will never end till we are bound under
"Doctrine of Necessity". We have to get rid of it at all costs.
Just see the recent news of our dummy judiciary created by President Musharaf.

SC declares emergency, PCO valid
ISLAMABAD: Supreme Court has declared the enforcement of PCO and emergency valid
SC larger Bench headed by the Chief Justice Mr. Justice Abdul Hameed Dogar in its short order issued here today said that the situation in the country was horrific—suicide bombings were taking place and the security forces were being targeted especially, the in the tribal areas, where the situation was highly critical besides over 150 persons were killed in an attack on the People’s Party rally, while the executive was left paralyzed by the conduct of some of the members of the superior court.
In such circumstances, SC short order said that the extra-constitutional measures had become imperative and, therefore, the SC deemed valid Army Chief’s all those measures taken after November 3 besides validating the process of taking oath under PCO, while the order also said that the Judges not taking oath under PCO ceased to remain on their posts.
The order further said that the constitution be restored with the improvement in situation and the Court would have the right to review the situation any time.

This is very strategic point in our History.We should make verry effort to save our Judiciary. Because its Guardian of our rights.Its only Defense against the the Political Ambitions of the Generals. Otherwise Democracy in Pakistan will become a dream.
|
Yes its critical point where I think there should be "Shame on the Judges who acclaimed Emergency Valid just to save themselves and their person benifits"
They have put real death to the solidarity of nation and Judiciary. Now there is no question left for democracy because Musharaf is successful in poisioning democracy for its final death.
And we will be standing silently to see that how are rights are being grabed by military ruler.
We will be waiting for the desertation of Balochistan and then Sindh and then some other area and then we will say that a political government was responsible for losing East Pakistan while in real sense it was Ayub Khan who laid base brick for it.
Lets do pray that we may get leaders like Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, Moulana Abu-ul-Kalam Azad, Moulana Zaffar Ali Khan and so on....... who can evoke the soul of this sleeping nation to stand for their basic rights.
