What next?
By M. SHAFI KHAN August 27, 2008 4. Education was corrupted through changes in syllabi: anything offensive like Jihad and demands of ethics and conscience were replaced by secular concepts.
5. Through media the cultural life was transformed: now the modesty in lifestyle has been replaced by freedom of association of sexes: in public and private. Western culture is spreading in schools and colleges. Our family life has been fully transformed and moral values have taken a backseat. The cultural erosion causes loss of character and values of a nation, it has happened to us. The repair work may be done but damage is already done.
6. The Musharraf era abounds in advocating and practising secular concept of life as opposed to religious orientation: we need not defend the blind-alleys caused by widespread sectarianism due to scanty understanding of Islam by half-baked religious teachers.
7. Towards destabilising the systems in Pakistan, the most crucial and damaging act of treachery was the dismissal of the Supreme Court judges (sixty of them) without any blame or charge sheet. These honourable judges were replaced by those who took oath under Musharraf's PCO: they did not enjoy the prestige and confidence attached to the Supreme Court. The judicial systems - the base of insaf - was wrecked and disgraced at will. The prestige of the judiciary in Pakistan can never be restored; this action completed the destructive campaign undertaken to break Pakistan from the grassroot. This unfortunate country was tied in legal knots and interpretations only to firm up a fraudulent system. This good nation did not know how to get out of the fix arranged by an immoral leader supported by immoral masters of the law.
8. To rub off the germs and image of religious institutions and traditional modesty, Lal-Masjid and the women's hostel were attacked, bombing of cordoned students of various ages is really pathetic. Over 500 remains of girls and boys were disposed off in dirty drains or given mass burial without traces: the legal proceeding barred. The traditional life of Islam was targeted for effect by destroying the nursery of fundamentalists.
9. Another meanest act widely known is the trading of innocent (missing) Pakistanis, against a price in dollars. Many doctors, social workers, scientists and prominent citizens were picked up from their homes without any proof of involvement in any anti-state activities. An enemy of Pakistan could only do such a heartless job of handing over citizens to the US. The phenomenon of hundreds of Missing Persons is too gruesome a grip of the foreign power.
10. Dr Aafia's tragedy recently reported - five years of mental and physical torture and the suffering of her children and family is heart-rending. It is a case of a slave trade or proof of loyalty to the arrogant yanks who could pick up targets to break the will of people, to establish Monstrosity of America.
11. Having overtaken the authority of the chief executive, General Musharraf violated the norms of democracy; he put Pakistan in a horrible state of terror and personal rule.
12. The security of life and properly in the country is out of focus and the fiscal instability writ large and there is no realisation of the bad state in which common people are surviving.
13. General Musharraf violating Article 6 of the constitution took over the authority of the state - an act of high treason punishable by death.
