Asma Jehangir protests

Posted: May 15, 2005 Sun 01:31 pm     Views: 91   

Read this on Sobia’s blog:

"There were crowds of people gathered all around. A colleague called a friend of hers who was in the police and it was he who told us that there had been no robbery, it was just asma jehangir protesting something or the other. We all went back to work. "

I guess this mustve been before the reports about the incident came out....

Dissent and Enlghtened Moderation should not be contradictory. But in the case of the Pakistani govt, unfortunately, they are.
We really need people like Asma Jehangir. More power to her.
