There is no surprise on such acts.Our military rulers are unique in sense as they couldntr stop a little FM radio from Swat but succesfull in shutting down the most powerful channels from Dubai.Now mussarf's backward regime is so much naked in front of international world that we are ashmed that we are entering in modern era with same brutal dictators, corrupt politicians, stone age feudal lords and slavery attitude of public.I think if mussaraf at least only confess
that he is a backward military dictator in shiny packing made in US then it would be his last good act to his nation. At least we should raised our head a little that our rulers can speak truth.
Hats off to the LUMS students for standing shoulder to shoulder with the protesting lawyers, media, cilvil and humen right activists.
I hope this is the begining of a new democratic Pakistan.
A Pakistan where basic humen rights are not violated, freedom of press is top priority and Independent judiciary is strong enough to challange the government's brutal decesions.
