A Nation Reborn

Re: # 62 Nasah

So the ``revolution`` led by lawyers has fizzled out?

No Islamic country can and ever will have a truly democratic government. Democracy is contrary to the nature of Islam.

``I`m not a legal man``, ``I`m just a simple soldier``. (Musharraf`s on Geo TV)

In defense of his horrendous Constitutional Illegalities it is good to see that Musharraf finally breaks down and confesses on GEO TV (after ransacking it 3 days earlier) -- that he is indeed an illegal man -- that is -- an illegal president -- and that he is a simple soldier -- undeserving to be the COAS of Pakistan by any criteria. Bravo!

#167 Mantolives from Aparna`s Pakistan forum {``On the Punjabi-Mohajir issue... I am forced to agree with Salim Chauhan... ``}

Manto Bhai,
Being the most despised person on Chowk, it is not important whether I am right or wrong. What`s important is that the injustices against the ``stranded`` yet loyal and brave Pakistanis in BD be corrected. Also, the pernicious provincialism, hegemony, and discrimination must be recognized and eradicated. Of course, you and I agree on the secular, liberal, peaceful, democratic, and just social and political environment needed for Pakistan.

Thank you, my friend, for recognizing the problem. The hopes and dreams of sincere Pakistanis are with you. Too bad, the overwhelming majority of Punjabi Pakistanis, especially on Chowk (e.g. Tahmed32, Ali_1, Atif2, Sobia, Ally, Khamkhwa, Zeemax, and many others) don`t share your objectivity.

Re: # 57 Salim Chauhan

Do you fight for this cause (of stranded Pakistanis` repatriation) only on chowk / other web forums or do you also take part in any jalsaa`s, public speeches, demonstrations etc in Pakistan? Just curious. ``}

Subhash Bhai,
I try to fight for this cause and others all over the place - apparently not very effectively. :)
I am so concerned about these poor people`s plight, that many, especially on Chowk, call me a ``Bihari,`` in their derogatory manner to trivialize and dismiss this important issue. But then I have been called an Ahmedi, a ``Mirzaee,`` a Dalit, a Hazaara, an American Injun, a Bahai, an Ismaili, an Afro-American, and even a Jew. :) Of course, I am not any of these, but if it makes people feel better or superior, I will concur. :)

The PPP ex-PMs are salivating at the thought of ``democracy``

Pakistan`s hard currency reserves are at an all time high. The Paki Rupee has been stable for seven years. The economy is growing at fantastic rates. There is a construction boom in Karachi. Work is starting on Pakistan`s fourth port at Somniani. (T)

All this is happening on the Mohajir dictator`s watch and his Mohajir PM`s administration. The exiled ``democratically-elected`` PPP ex-PMs are salivating at the prospect of returning and feeding at the trough with both mouths.

Down with politicians, generals and justice for all. Yes, yes that`s all very noble and indeed a just cause.

As much as I am fed up of General Musharraf he is still the lesser of three evils; the MMA, Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto. Who then is it that will take the reins of the nation?
