It was truly awful what happened to Mai. We in Pak bow our heads in shame that one of our fellow Pakistani lady was subjected to such a cruel treatment. There is no way anyone here in Pak can defend the perpetrators of the heinous crime.
All those who committed this horrible crime are now in jail and I hope they all would get their due punishment.
The credit goes to NGOs and Mai herself for not accepting this as fate acompli and pushing it through an extremely slow and archaic judicial system.
However I appeal to Paks and other well wishers to keep the matter close to the real issue "welfare of poor", and not turn it into "bash Musharraf" campaign.
Working on welfare of poor will earn you all the title of mahatama,
Bashing Musharraf will simply make you a pidly commie leftie or even worse, a MAToo Pithoo.
As for the latter part, Musharraf gets critisicm because of the way he treated her, by putting her on the ECL and bad mouthing her and all rape victims. That is why specifically he is criticised, concrete, genuine reasons.
For you to say criticising Mush makes people ‘commies’, lefties, etc, is disgusting.
In a country where the armed forces are highly praised for their professionalism in executing the mass rape of 300,000 Bongo women it’s not surprising to find the hijra half-sex mujahir leaders of this army condoning rape.
:k: What’s more dangerous? Someone who says that rape victims are out to give pakistan a bad name or someone who fumbles his words once in a while? Okay both r equally dangerous, but u kno what, if something htis horribel happens to someone, who gives a sh*t about Patriotism and giving pakistan a bad name? God forbid, something like that ever happen, my country’s image would be the last thing on my mind. Since when did nationalism become more important than their right to justice? Their right to live a good quality filled life? It’s extreme nationalism which is not healthy, no matter which country you are in.
Real deal once again is talking out of his ass yet again. Since he has a vendetta against Musharraf and the army, hes talking as if this lady was raped by Mushy himself.
No it’s not. Extreme nationalism is a good thing, because it represents a will to power, and world politics is a will to power, national politics is a will to power. There’s no justice or morality. It’s a jungle everywhere. Don’t let appearances deceive you.
Three full years have passed since that heinous crime in a small village of remote Punjab. Not a single punchayat has dared to hand down the barbaric punishment since then. The credit for all this goes to Musharraf? No! It must go to the leftie commies, and their sidekick MAToos.
*The president’s critics say he pays only lip service to cracking down on the abuse of women, hundreds of whom are raped and murdered every year in so-called honour cases in Pakistan. * Despite government protestations that it is doing much to help women, many of those who try to register cases of rape and violence find it as hard as ever to do so, campaigners say.
Without the bravery of Mukhtar Mai and the fuss kicked up by human rights groups, NGO’s, pressure would never have been brought upon these violators to stop their evil acts. Other places where the ‘spotlight’ is absent, the situation remains, with the government not raising a finger to stop it, because they simply don’t care.
