Imposition of emergency rule in Pakistan is sanctioned and approved by National Assembly of Pakistan, critics have termed it as assault on civil society, President General Parvez Musharaf says to avoid conflict between judicial and executive organs of government imposition of emergency rule and suspension of constitution was inevitable.
During last three days of emergency rule in Pakistan hundreds of activists and leaders of different caliber including Mr. Isfandyar Wali are arrested by law enforcing agencies in Pakistan.
Muhtarima Benazir Bhutto has announced long March on 13th of November 2007, and has demanded immediate withdrawal of emergency rule; crack down on her party workers is also reported in various parts of Pakistan.
Price hike, unemployment and gradual Talibanization of Pakistani society is a real issue, which is ignored by the leadership, both opposition and ruling parties are busy in mudslinging at each other.
Pakistan’s political scenario has become an ugly scene from the day Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was hanged by military junta, late Genral Zia was also killed in air crash, before his death many eminent political leaders and Judges were killed mysteriously by unknown killers, majority of the killed were opponents of Bhutto.
Father of Mr. Chaudhary Shujaat a leader of ruling party in Pakistan was staunch supporter of General Zia and was killed when series of mysterious bomb explosions and target killing was started soon after Bhutto was hanged by General Zia regime.
Now Muhtarima Benazir Bhutto after her arrival in Pakistan was targeted by suicide bombers in Karachi she was quick to put blame on Chaudhry for making a murder plot against her.
Amid growing influence of Taliban in Swat district of NWFP where 70% of the area is now under control of Taliban militants, so far performance of ruling party under emergency rule is that hundreds of activists are detained, and Taliban militants in Swat have succeeded to control four major police station in Swat without facing any resistance from government security agencies.
President George W Bush in a telephonic conversation with President Parvez Musharaf has expressed his concern and advised him to lift emergency rule, hold elections and doff his uniform, meanwhile spokesman of US State department has also expressed support for Benazir Bhutto on her formal announcement regarding holding of long march.
President Musharaf has ignored the suggestion made by President George Bush and still the crack down on political activists is witnessed in Pakistan today, sources have said that General Musharf is determined to follow his own agenda.
