National Reconciliation Ordinance

National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) was promulgated in Pakistan by then President General Pervez Musharaf as a result of back door political bargaining with Behnazir Bhutto and MQM leaders in Pakistan. These dealings were sponsored by US and British Governments. These foreign governments made this law made by Mushraf so that he could stay as President of Pakistan besides Behnazir Bhutto and MQM as his partners in government.

What is NRO? It is an ordinance that quashes all criminal and civil cases against many political leaders of Pakistan including Behnazir Bhutto, Asif Ali Zardari (incumbent President of Pakistan), Rehman Malik (incumbent Interior Minister) and MQM leader Altaf Hussein. These are major beneficiary of this NRO. These crimes have been washed away with a stroke of pen of a dictator. Ok Musharaf was a dictator but why did US and UK Governments helped in notification of such a shame law.

This law is against Human Rights and fair trail concept on equal footing for all citizens. Here through NRO richest criminal have been given clean slate through connivance of so-called mother of democracy (UK) and USA.

Will Zardari change his submissive style .....!!!

Zardari has let his whole nation down by personally welcoming low level official of USA and standing like a personal courtier infront of Richard Halbrook.

This is height of incompetence on part of President Zardari. Another thing that has gone to alarming heights that Zardari is always on foreign tours. This is solely a job for a Prime Minister who is this case is a lame duck in the shape of Gilani of Multan.

People in streets wonder as to why Zardari is always going to Dubai????

No one knows exactly, however, some still believe that he has businessinterests in Dubai so he always makes sure to divert his plane to this modern sheikhdom.

Pakistan becomes Champion - Twenty Twenty World Cup

Today Pakistan made history in the world of sports by securing world championship title of Cricket in Twenty Twenty World Cup. This final match was played in famous Lords Stadium in England. Pakistan won by eight wickets. All players gave their best performances.

Star of the game were again Pathans from NWFP like Shahid Khan Afridi and Younis Khan. In 1992, when Pakistan won World Cup, it was then a pathan too. His name is Imran Khan who has turned into a refomed muslim, politician and a social worker.

Pathans played well beside other players who have also done well. Congratulations to all Pakistanis and to whole Pakistani Cricket team and team management.

Need to Change Electoral System in Pakistan

The current system electing members of National and Provincial assemblies on the basis of simple majority has failed in Pakistan. To illustrate this theory, I will give an example as below:

In a constituency, there are four candidates and total votes casted in the area are 100,000. A gets 25000, B gets 26000, C gets 27000 and D gets 22000 votes. As per current system C will be elected to the assembly with only 27% of votes in his favour, while 73% votes have been against him. Now it translates into a representation of only 27% of the coters while voices of 73% will not be heard.

Therefore, a change to adopt a system where voices of all political voices are heard. The best system would be that of proportionate representation where votes are casted to the parties and on the basis of votes cated in favour of each party, seats in assemblies are allocated to them. Beauty of this system is that no segmnent of society is left unheard. Each citizen feels part of the system and country represents the full shine of democracy. Examples of this system are in Finland, Denmark and Germany and they are extremely successful

Pakistan needs a change as current system bring the same feudals, oppressors, and people with wealth and power. Also, the existing system is causing a hereditary succession of certain seats in the country.

Nizam e Adl Regulation in Malakand Division and Kohistan Hazara NWFP, Pakistan

National Assembly of Pakistan adopted a bill whereby courts have been regualrized as per the overwhelming demand of the people of Malakand Division and Kohistan Hazara of NWFP. People have been demanding for easily accessible justice system in these areas. There have been a long struggle in these areas under the leadership of Maulana Sufi Muhammad who hails from Maidan Area of District Dir. He gathered his followers under the banner of Tehrik e Nifaz e Shariat e Muhammadi (TNSM). He started his campaign in 1994 and got momentum through all these years.

People are fed up with the slow and expensive judicial mechanism of the country therefore people gathered on a single agenda. i.e. enactment of Islamic judicial system. Constitution of Pakistan also warrants that all laws of the country be under the guidance of Shariat e Muhammadi. However, it is a sad situation that successive rulers of Pakistan have succumbed to the pressures of western countries and have been ignoring this committment of promulgating Islamic laws in the country.

Under the new act of parliament, qazis (judges) in Malakand will be appointed who are bound to decide the cases with in specified time limit. There will be no dragging of cases for years.

Ironically, the so called democrates of Pakistan like Altaf Hussein of MQM are crying and shouting against this new system enacted by the parliament. Altaf Hussein is a criminal who has introduced target killings in Karachi and has now fled to United Kingdom where he has become a UK citizen too. He is still receiving extortion money from Karachites on daily basis and has become a symbol of deceit and duality and ignorance.

Some NGOs and sitting in Islamabad,Lahore and Karachi are speaking against this Shariat Bill. They speak against it to prove themselves as loyal and followers of western values. They are clear losers in this wind of change as they seem to live in glass palaces.

People in Malakand Division of NWFP are extremely happy on the success of their just struggle. The success of this nizam e adl is largely dependant on the sincerity of all stakeholders i.e. Government of Pakistan, Government of NWFP, TNSM and Taleban of the area.

Brutal lashing of a young girl in Swat

There were scenes on cable networks of a 17 years old girl being lashed on her back by Taliban of Swat. The girl only crime was that she was reported walking out with her father in law. The neighbour is reported to be the one who incited local Taliban against that girl.

This act of Taliban has made the whole nation very furious.Parents have become scared of their young girls. Writ of Government in Swat has completely failed. The personal vengeance has taken control of this scenic valley.People are settling their personal scores through taleban of the area.

Lets analyse this from Islamic perspective. She was with in the Islamic limitations of going or walking with her own father in law. She did not commit any adultery. There was no witness to prove any guilt on her part. While watching the video on tv one can see that that innocent girl was held by two adult Taliban from hands and feet and a third was lasing at her back. She was crying in pain in from of hundred of men standing around. It was a brutality and totally against injunctions of Islam.

Taliban are on path of tarnishing the beautiful image of Islam through such acts and videos. Government of Pakistan and NWFP has clearly failed in protecting the citizen of such brutalities.

All eyes are on the suo motto action taken by Chief Justice of Pakisran Mr. Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudary who has constituted a full bench and ordered provincial government and its top officers to appearbefore the bench.

Clear Message to West from Pakistanis...!!!!

March 15th, 2009 will be remembered in the history of Pakistan that people of this country got united and came out as one single voice for restoration of the deposed Chief Justice of Pakistan. Though much has been written about this soft revolution, there is a very important message for the western countries.

These western countries have always supported autocrates and dictators in Pakistan and have spent billions of dollars to put their weight behind such undemocratic rulers of this country. Zardari being an elected president, still he is behaving like a civilian dictator. These western powers have miserably failed to understand the minds of common people in Pakistan who have demonstarted aginst these autocrates who are still being supported by the west. This was a soft revolution and was an historic victory for the civil society of Pakistan.

There are also rumors that President Zardari has developed conflicts and serious difference with his own son Bilawal. Political analysts and intelligentia have come to a unanimous conclusion that no good could be expected of Zardari. He is arrogant and stuborn person and he loves money to his death. He will do anything to make money and no morals come in his way for making fortunes. He doesn't believe in rules and laws.

There seems that Zardari has been on exit mode and could be days or a few months before he is pushed out of power. He has made Presidency a hub of conspiracies and horse trading.

Will western countries specially USA consider listening to the masses instead of these autocrates in Pakistan???
