The news of Emergency in Pakistan spread like wildfire, media was on it in no time, and criticisms for a dime a dozen. Even people of Pakistan were doubting Pakistan. Questions like, Are we a failed state? Was Pakistan a blunder? Will we ever as free and democratic like the U.S.A.? were buzzing in the ears and hearts of millions of Pakistanis. What a lot of people didn't know was that legislatures like that of P.C.O. in Pakistan have been passed in other countries to suspend rights of human being that were basic and granted under Constitution of the country. Most notable and famous incident of such was the USA Patrioct Act. Patriot Act went into effect about a month after the tragedy of September 11, 2001.
The Patriot Act suspended the basic rights of the human being living in USA granted to them. These rights included, the right to a speedy trial, the purpose of which was to limit the amount of time government can hold you in prison without pressing charges against you. The Act also suspended the right of privacy of citizens, after its effect the Patriot Act allowed government to tap you phones, read E-Mails and even access to your financial records. The list of infringements on human rights that the Patriot Act is guilty of just goes on and on, and I'm sure If you Google it you will find a lot more example of this.
How big of a deal was the Patriot Act? Did these so-called "democratic" leader do anything about it? Did the lawyers or judges protested against it? Well, not really, or should I say, not at all. As Pakistani we stood up to this injustice, and we showed the world that we really are a successful and a live state. Now go ahead a take a moment to sing "Hum Zinda Qaum hain..."
Since you are now done celebrating, if we seem to know a lot more about freedom and free speach, do you think maybe we should go conquer the western hemisphere and "liberate them," Well that's something to think about.

Emergecny That Destroyed Musharraf.
Asalaamu-Alykum
As most of you may already that Gen. Pervez Musharraf has declared an emeregency rule over the nation, but some you may not be aware of its consequences for Pakistan and Gen. Pervez Musharraf.
First of all let's take a look at Musharraf and Prime Minister of Pakistan Shaukat Aziz, but mostly the General. He has come on Television and other versions of media and has said over and over again that he's doing this for Pakistan, and Pakistan needs this and how he's helped Pakistan and his very famous buzzwords "adlia azad hay"(Judiciary is Independent) and "Media ko Azadi hai" (Media is Free and Independent), well by declaring emergency he has successfully taken away both. All private news channels have been taken off the air, and now even the supreme court can be asked to take fresh oaths.
Just to give you an idea for how long these two intend to keep lying to to Pakistan, and who much lies they expect Pakistani people to believe is that less than a day before imposing emergency Pakistani Prime minister publicly rejected all speculations of imposing emergency.
Gen. Pervez Musharraf, who is not yet given a reason for declaring emergency, has only one reason to declare emergency, so he can save his seat of power and remain President as supreme court can still kick him out by declaring his candidacy illegal.
By imposing martial law, Gen. Pervez Musharraf has shot himself in the foot, as now he may lose most, if not all of his supporters. As he has clearly gone against all of the promises that he has made to the nation, and even some of his soldiers are refusing to listen to him, according to associated press "Dozens of paramilitary troops defect in northwest Pakistan saying they do not want to fight their Muslim brothers" now General is not losing control over his nation (civilians) but also losing control over his army soldiers this marks a downfall for Musharraf and his day are limited, either through the hands of an assassin or at the hands of supreme court justice. Either way Inshaalah Pakistan will prevail, Aameen.
