Breaking news: Emergency Lifted

Re: Breaking news: Emergency Lifted

To destroy the constitution, strengthen the Armies hold over the country, undermine civilian institutions, and make sure that all opposition to Musharafs dictatorship are put in their place.

Re: Breaking news: Emergency Lifted

Has the threat of terrorism in the entire world ended also?

Re: Breaking news: Emergency Lifted

Obvisouly its a joke to you, as despite all the suffering under this dictator, you still support him!

Re: Breaking news: Emergency Lifted

Yeah, Mush is training people to do suicide bombings. Get a hold of yourself man.

Re: Breaking news: Emergency Lifted

I hope you are only pretending to be dumb.
If you really thinks what you just wrote above then it may explain your support to na-pak generals of our Army.

If emergency was for fighting terrorism in NWFP then why is it lifted at this moment even though the fighting in NWFP is still going on?

While boot-lickers here are still talking about “emergency for fighting terrorism”, the na-pak generals are giving other excuses for emergency.

"Musharraf said a conspiracy had been hatched by unspecified people, with the involvement of members of the judiciary, to derail the country’s transition to democracy.

Now the conspiracy has been foiled, and the election will be held on January 8"

Na-pak generals think that anyone who does not accept military’s naked involvement in politics is a “conspirator”.

Na-pak generals lifted the emergency as soon as they thought they had enacted enough laws to make sure they will keep the power in politics. It is obvious that “fighting terrorism” was nothing but an excuse to keep Pakistani people enslaved of military’s grip.

Re: Breaking news: Emergency Lifted

Well, Mush allowed these people to use Pakistan terrirtory for years before he realized they are a problem... And, infact the INTELLIGENCE agencies, as you well know, HAVE helped finance if not train many of these terrorists..

Soo.... Yeah, Musharaf is guilty...

Whats there to get a hold off buddy? Musharaf ahs mutated into this evil hideous dictator bent on destroying everything we have gained in the last so many years... And people like you are supporting this! You might as well support the Taliban because atleast they cant destroy the country as effectively as Mush can...

Re: Breaking news: Emergency Lifted

To be fair, Kiyani has gone on record to say that he believes the Military should nto be involved in Politics.. He may reddem himself if he can gather the courage to stand by his word.

**State of emergency lifted in Pakistan
**
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - President Pervez Musharraf lifted a six-week-old state of emergency Saturday, telling a skeptical nation the crackdown was to save Pakistan from a conspiracy rather than ensure his own political survival.

But Musharraf also made clear he would keep a tight lid on dissent, entrenching limits he imposed under the emergency including strict curbs on press freedom and the replacement of independent-minded judges with jurists friendlier to the U.S.-backed leader. Opponents have said the changes set the stage for national elections next month to be rigged, and have threatened to hold mass demonstrations.
Musharraf said in a nationally televised speech that the emergency helped slow the spread of Islamic militancy but the country still faces a “grave situation” with the approach of Jan. 8 parliamentary elections that will determine who will form the next government.

“Against my will, as a last resort, I had to impose the emergency in order to save Pakistan,” Musharraf said. “I cannot tell how much pain the nation and I suffered due to this conspiracy.”
He said foreign election monitors were welcome to monitor the process.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said he spoke with Musharraf by phone Saturday.
“Concrete measures should include increased transparency of the electoral process, prevention of local government abuse, a nonpartisan election commission, release of remaining political detainees and the lifting of all restrictions on the media,” Brown said.

Liaquat Baloch, a senior leader of Jamaat-e-Islami — Pakistan’s largest Islamic party, which is boycotting the election — called Musharraf’s move a “fraud.”

Musharraf said the emergency helped halt the spread of Islamic militancy from Pakistan’s troubled tribal areas into the “settled districts” of North West Frontier Province, particularly in the Swat valley, a former tourism destination, he said.
“That has been stopped,” Musharraf said, praising a large military offensive in the area. “I want to say with pride that in Swat, the back of terrorism and extremism has been broken.”

So, when is he taking his next Suo Moto action?

Re: Breaking news: Emergency Lifted

Thank God this Emergency did not last 16 years, as it did between 1969 and 1985 during the tenures of Yahya, ZAB and Zia.

God bless President Musharraf for being the first leader to keep his promise to the nation on this matter. :k:

Re: Breaking news: Emergency Lifted

As soon as Mushi is kicked out and democracy and freedom are restored...

Re: Breaking news: Emergency Lifted

OK. When will that be then? :hehe:
