do ppl not see that this is musharraf's grab (last!) for power and he is not actually capturing terrorists! if Pakistan is really an ally against terrorism, how come all this terror is being executed against civilians and the judicial system?

Enough about what rights Musharraf has given ppl. Ppl have fought for their rights long b4 Mush was in diapers.

Btw, saying Go Mush Go is pro-Musharraf--translating from Urdu doesnt always work! Please change wording in future.

hmmm... good point about go!

[zzzzpakistan]

it's true that under this government, a particular class of people have done better - however, we would be quite pathetic if we let rights to study anywhere in the world let us ignore the injustices against so many other people in this country. Do u know how much the price rise has devastated the poor?

[msajjadhaider]

if you partake in political rallies/protests during a 'STATE OF EMERGENCY' you are liable to be detained by the secutiry forces. i am not advocating inactivity but if you do, be aware what its consequences may be!

- peace y'all =)

[zzzzpakistan]

Is that a threat sir? :p yes i think the people who demonstrated are aware - but some causes come before personal safety...

[samhaf007]

Let the ppl of Pakistan know that the world is watching and is proud of those fighting for their rights come what may.

Where do these Paki Students see themselves in the comity of nations? Aren't they ashamed at the picture they portray, when they stand with their green passports in their hands at various airports of the world?

If they have any respect, they should stop protesting in the fashion they are doing.

Simply, when they don't know the bigger picture of how things are working in Pakistan, at this point of time, then why have they come out with their shallow knowledge?

musharaf goli ki sarkaar nahi chaly gi nahi chalay gi.

I have always been disgruntled and didnt find the answer to WHERE FROM that ray of hope would come that changes Pakistan. It DID come and it came from a place where people expected the LEAST. That place is LUMS!

Emergency Law passed by Parliament in a Democracy was used by "a country" to fight against Communist Insurgency. It restricted terrorist movements,cut down their networks operations. The government defeated the communist insurgency and the communist party later surrendered. It should & will work for Pakistan. President Musharaf is wise to use Emergency Law to fight against the terrorist insurgency. Demonstrators are shortsighted.

pakistan was not cameinto being by army. the people of pakistan used their vote for pakistan. the people have rights to choose government. this is the first army in the world that has its own industries FFC, Askari cement, Bahria town etc. they have parallel govt they have their own hospital, police, army colonies, educational institutions, transport NLC, telecom, courts. Even now they are hoding Civil institues like uni, accountibilty, embassadors, wapda, steel mills, governor, ministers

imkan125, Qadyanis can be blamed for one thing, they were the real force behind making this "country" and sure they would be regreting what they did. However muslim or not, this is their country too. wish to beleive you are not an "AGENT" or Spokeman of Allah on earth to to speak for Allah.
