Hum Zinda Qaum Hain

Asalaamu-Alykum


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.

Jinnah House

salaamu-Alykum,


A white mansion in mumbai, where the founder of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, Quaid-E-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah lived, worth by some estimated around USD 15 million, has been in the news for quite some time now. Pakistan, India and Jinnah's dosowned daughter Dina Wadia has claimed it.

Dina Wadia, who wants this property for herself has filed claims for the house which Indian government has rejected citing that Muhammad Ali Jinnah clearly willed the house to his sister Fatima Jinnah, Who died in 1967 and she did not have any children.

Pakistan, who has also claimed the Jinnah House for sentimental purposes, want the house so that it can be turned into a consulate. Jinnah after the partition became the Governer General of Pakistan and left the mansion. After leaving the mansion he requested that his house be turned into a consulate, since he passed away only about a year after the partition he deal was never finalized .

India, who claims that the property belonged to Fatima Jinnah, and since she passed away in 1963 and did not leave a living will the house is considered abandoned and becomes property of the government.

Jinah also in his will states that if upon his sister death she did not have any children then his estate will be split between Alighar (sic) University, Islamic College in Peshawar and the Sindh Madressa in Karachi, All these facts in mind the solution to this generation old problem is that I believe will make all happy, all except for Quaid's disowned daughter. I think the house should be turned into a Pakistani Consulate and Pakistan should pay a rent that should be split between Alighar (sic) University, Islamic College in Peshawar and the Sindh Madressa in Karachi evenly or If Pakistan prefers to buy the place then they must pay a fair market value for the house and the revenue should be split between the universities too. India turning the house over to Pakistan will open new gates of friendship between the two nations, and as for Dina who left her father for Neville Wadia, and was disowned by her father should not be given his house that he loved so much.

"President" Musharraf???

Asalaamu-Alykum,


On October 6, 2007, General Prevez Musharraf was elected the President of Pakistan, but most of the things in Pakistani Politics his victory was not free of any conflicts, so therefore let us take part in conflict and express out views.

First of all let take a deeper look at the word "President", it comes from latin roots prae- and -sedere, which mean "before" and "to sit" respectively. Originally the term "President" was used for a designated officer that sat before a debate or other gathering to make sure that the the proceedings were according to the rules and regulations, and many times to avoid any bias the President wasn't even allowed to vote on issues that the council would be discussing. This was done to make sure that there is no conflict of interest, and President's only job is to observe the rules and make sure they are adhered to.

Let us also ponder upon the concept of democracy, where power is distributed to many individuals and entities to make sure that they system of checks and balances is maintained. If any one individual hold more than one position, or has too much influence the balance is disrupted and democracy is destroyed.

How can General Pervez Musharraf, become President and reside before the Government of Pakistan to make sure that the rules of Constitution are followed, when he, himself, came into power violating these rules. How can he be the leader of a Democracy and maintain a system of checks and balances when he, himself, destroyed the system by holding multiple powerful positions and is known for influencing and forcing the decisions of those that are suppose to keep him in check.
